#2023TravelWish #HotspringHotel #Japan #JapaneseHotels #Shikoku Hot spring hotels generally offer a one-night stay and two-meals package. The two meals include dinner and breakfast. The dining experience during my stay at Qinnan Tang Villa was very unforgettable. From fresh ingredients to exquisite presentation to thoughtful service, everything is absolutely six-star. Breakfast and dinner are served in the same place. Dinner is Kaiseki cuisine, which uses the freshest seasonal ingredients to create exquisite and delicious dishes. The breakfast is a traditional Japanese set meal, which can reflect the local flavor. The meals are presented in a variety of ways, including roasting, boiling, baking, and raw cutting. I am very satisfied in all aspects. I can feel that they made it with care and sincerity. 👍👍👍 Travel wish list : Phuket

#springitinerary Manno Lake is the kind of place where you just instantly relax. It’s the largest reservoir in Japan, but honestly, it feels more like a peaceful hidden getaway than anything super official. Surrounded by gentle hills and open skies, it’s perfect for slow strolls, lazy picnics, or just sitting on a bench and zoning out. The views are super calming, especially around sunset when the light hits the water just right. If you’re into biking or running, there’s a nice path that loops around the lake, and in spring, cherry blossoms make it feel extra magical. It’s also right next to Sanuki Manno Park, so you can double up on chill nature time. There’s nothing flashy or touristy about it, and that’s kind of the best part. Whether you’re a local or just road-tripping through Kagawa, Manno Lake is a sweet, quiet spot to reset your brain.

#springitinerary Sanuki Manno Park in Kagawa is seriously underrated. It’s one of those places that’s perfect for just vibing out in nature without a huge crowd. The park is massive, like, bring-your-walking-shoes massive and it changes with the seasons. In spring, it’s packed with tulips and cherry blossoms, in summer, sunflowers and fireworks; and autumn brings this epic sea of cosmos flowers. There are wide open lawns for picnics, a playground if you’ve got kids, and even a giant slide that adults secretly love too. Rent a bike, chill by the lake, or just stroll through the flower gardens at your own pace. It’s peaceful, colorful, and kind of feels like a dream sometimes, especially if you catch it during peak bloom. Not many tourists know about it, so it’s got a super local vibe. If you're in Shikoku and want a slow, nature-filled day, this park’s a win.

📍Manno Park, Kagawa Prefecture Manno Park is planted with kochia, which is called by its Japanese name "houkigusa" or "houkigi." The name comes from the fact that in the past, the branches were dried and used to make brooms. The leaves turn bright green in August and begin to turn red in mid-September, and the scenery becomes beautiful and spectacular in mid-October. In fact, it is the raw material for "tonburi," a local dish of Akita Prefecture, and is called "caviar of the field." (※The kochia in this park is an ornamental variety.) 6,000 kochia trees are planted on the Flower Tour Hill in the park, and you can enjoy the changing colors as they turn from green to red. #0yentravelJanuary2025

📍Manno Park, Kagawa Prefecture Nemophila is native to North America and produces small pale blue flowers with a diameter of about 2 to 3 centimeters. At the National Sanuki Manno Park, approximately 480,000 nemophila trees are planted in three locations within the park, and they also create a beautiful combination with tulips. At the Flower Tour Hill, where flowers bloom in every season, approximately 350,000 nemophila trees cover the entire slope, dyeing the hill blue.
