Kasagi travel guide and discussion

Kasagi Campsite, known as the holy land of campsites in the Kansai region. It is run by the local government, so the prices are reasonable. And best of all, it is spacious. There is a garbage dump, toilet, sink, and ash dump, so you can feel safe. It is divided into a grass site and a ground site. It is not a partitioned site, so you can freely arrange the layout.

#slowtraveling Hirao, in Osaka’s Taisho Ward, is “Little Okinawa”—JR Osaka Loop Line to Taisho Station (~4 min from Bentencho, ~150 yen IC), then City Bus 71/76/91 to Hirao (~10 min, ~230 yen IC/cash) or walk 20 min along the Kizu River. Free streets, 24h, the Thanks Hirao arcade and the Shureimon-style banners are the markers; shisa (lion-dogs) guard shop rolling shutters, not museum plinths. I went 9:55 a.m. weekday: Taisho Station (heard the Okinawan folk jingle on the platform—real detail), bus to Hirao, walked the Thanks Hirao arcade while the sata-andagi fryer was just heating. A 100-yen vending Orion (IC) from the Daily Yamazaki, drunk leaning on the Megane-bashi rail watching a shisa painted on a butcher’s shutter. Bought 600-yen goya champuru bento (cash) at Sawayuki, ate it on the Kizu riverbank. The 2nd Sunday of September Eisa festival is the loud version; 10 a.m. weekday is the resident version. IC train+bus, cash arcade. Etiquette: Taisho is home—don’t photograph a resident’s shisa like a zoo exhibit, the butcher sells pork not souvenirs—don’t block the rolling shutter, Okinawan bow is nod-not-prostrate, the Kizu riverbank is a bike path—no tripod. Mistake: 18:00 Friday—izakaya smoke, the arcade a sanshin-thump corridor. 9:55 weekday, fryer heat, is Hirao’s own 100-year hour. Question: when a ward keeps Okinawa alive 1,500 km from Naha because the textile mills hired the grandparents, is the shisa the memory or the mortgage?

Even if you don't have a car, there is a campsite that you can get to in about an hour from Kyoto Station. The campsite is covered in grass, and the Kizugawa River flows right in front of you. You can see trains passing by from the cutely colored iron bridge, making it a great spot to interact with nature at your own pace. Kasagi also has many hiking trails where you can enjoy the changing scenery of the four seasons. At Kasagi Temple, you can see a giant Buddha painted on a large rock. This temple is located in the mountains and is 800 meters in circumference, so it is almost like a hiking trail, but you can enjoy it in a different way from other spots as you can tour the old cultural heritage sites as you go around. 💰Price per person: 300 yen 🕰️Opening hours: 9:00-16:00 💰Price per person: 1000 yen (1 night, 2 days) 🕰️Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 (reception hours) #Kasagidera Temple #Kyoto #Kasagi Campsite

Matsutake season has arrived Riverside Oogi Restaurant Second visit this month ← Isn't that going too far?

It's located along R163. Address: 30 Kusabatake, Kiriyama, Kasagi-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto TEL: 0743-95-2150 Business hours: 9:00-20:00 Closed on Mondays and Thursdays (closed the following day if a holiday falls on a Monday) Visited on October 9, 2023, a national holiday Since it was a national holiday, there was a wait. The smell of Matsutake mushrooms was in the restaurant... how happy. As soon as I opened the lid of the Matsutake bowl, the smell of Matsutake mushrooms wafted through my nose. Matsutake mushrooms, domestic beef, and onions. The egg simmered in soy sauce is fluffy. The soup is elegant and light, and even the pickles are delicious! ️ My friends also loved it, and told me how delicious it was. ✨ Thank you for the meal. #matsutake #kyototourism #kyotogourmet #shrimp #bowl #kasagi #kyotoprefecture #gourmettrip #kyotolunch

Riverside Oogi Restaurant I've been going to this restaurant since I was little. Everything I eat is delicious. I'm also happy that they open early. I visited on a Saturday just after 10am, but it was almost full. It's located along R163. From September to February, Oogi's specialty, the hearty matsutake udon and matsutake bowls, are available! Address: 30 Kusabatake, Kiriyama, Kasagi-cho, Soraku-gun, Kyoto TEL: 0743-95-2150 Business hours: 9:00-20:00 Closed on Mondays and Thursdays (closed the following day if a public holiday falls on a Monday) I wanted to eat the matsutake bowl, but I had my favorite, the famous large fried shrimp set meal! ️ I've been coming here once every two months for the past few years, and it's my favorite The tartar sauce is homemade too! ️ The tartar sauce is also delicious. Of course, after eating three, I get a little bored, but I can also order them separately, so I often order half a Matsutake bowl for two people and two fried shrimp in the fall. This order might be better for women. Next time, I'll come for the Matsutake bowl, hopefully soon 🎵 #shrimp #matsutake #kansaitv #famousrestaurant #kyoto #lunch
