#OsakaSakura The Osaka Mint is located near Kema Sakuranomiya Park, and is also a popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Osaka, Japan.🌸 Although the number of cherry blossoms at the Mint is not as many as that at Kema Sakura-no-Miya Park, there are more than 140 varieties, making it the cherry blossom viewing spot with the most varieties. The cherry blossoms at the Mint are very large and bloom very fully. Some are dark pink, some are light pink, and some are even white cherry blossoms, each with its own unique charm.🌸 We walked through the long cherry blossom forest, following the long crowd, walking and stopping, every cherry blossom tree was brilliant and dazzling, and everyone who admired the cherry blossoms was filled with happiness.😊 After walking along the cherry blossom forest path, there is a whole street full of vendors selling snacks. Everything is delicious. I like snacks more than meals, so I can have a meal here. 😆 The whole street is really lively, and it is a special experience under the cherry blossom trees. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌟For the Mint and Sakura Path, you must make an online reservation in advance!

1. Can anyone tell me if this hot spring hotel really exists? Hot spring bathing is a worthwhile experience during your trip to Japan. If you have already bathed in Japanese hot springs in Hakone, Atami, and Hokkaido, and want to experience something different, this is a good choice. 2.【Hot Spring Village】🍁 The concept is to combine hot springs with local culture, so the location will be in a village with hot spring characteristics. The predecessor of 💠 Kyoto Tsugaru is the restaurant inn "Minami Tsugaru Kinsui". Aomori's famous apples are floating on the old wood's large bath, and the air is filled with the fragrance of apples. You can overlook the changing seasons of the garden through the large glass curtain wall. A night's stay, two meals, no need to go out, quiet, secluded, very suitable for an office worker like me who needs a "short escape" to work. 3. [Snow House] ❄️ As a southerner, I am excited when it snows. I am very happy when there is a little snow outside the window, or when I wake up in the morning and see the heavy snow falling, or when I see the food steaming in the house. I can also soak in hot springs and watch the snow, which I can't refuse. 【4. Apple Hot Spring】🍎 It is worth mentioning the "Apple Hot Spring" here. The bathing pool built by Aomori cypress is filled with hot spring water and Aomori apples are floating in the water. Fresh apples are added to the soup, and with the diffused hot spring steam, a light fruity fragrance lingers around the body. While looking at the lantern pond and stream covered with falling snow and soaking in the apple hot spring, I can still feel the applause in my heart. 5.🍱Japanese-style dining🍣Kaiseki cuisine featuring Oma tuna, known as the black diamond, and kaiseki cuisine with Aomori flavor using local ingredients, as well as 🍙Japanese breakfast meals such as "miso-grilled scallops". 6.🍎Three meals a day related to apples, apple tempura ~ apple soup ~ apple tea, etc., are delicious, there is really no reason to miss it!

Don’t worry about hotels in Mount Fuji, they have great views, good food and great hot springs! |||Three years later, I finally set out on the journey to Mount Fuji again and stayed at this hot spring hotel - Xiufengge Kogetsu. 🏨 Location and transportation Shufengkaku Kogetsu is located on the other side of Lake Kawaguchi, with Mount Fuji behind it and a broad view. It is not located in the busy downtown area like other hotels, but slightly off the beaten track, away from the hustle and bustle, by Lake Kawaguchiko. The transportation is convenient. From Kawaguchiko Station, you can take a bus for 20 minutes to arrive at the hotel and start a pleasant journey. The hotel also provides a pick-up service which can be arranged at a pre-determined time. 🗓️ Check-in and check-out arrangements ⏰Check-in time: 14:00 ⏰ Check-out time: 11:00 ✨ The warmth and design of the hotel This hotel makes me feel peaceful and comfortable every time I stay. Although the overall architectural style has a strong Japanese flavor, the hotel also incorporates modern conveniences. Each room has a large window, from which you can directly enjoy the magnificent view of Mount Fuji, which is a highlight of staying here The view from the room on the 5th floor is wide. Whether you are sipping tea by the window or resting on the bed, the view of Mount Fuji is unforgettable. The room adopts traditional Japanese tatami design and is spacious and bright. Even though it is an old building, the cleanliness and quiet atmosphere of the room still make people feel comfortable. Some rooms are equipped with private baths, where you can experience hot springs. The hotel's hot spring experience is worth mentioning. Whether it is an indoor hot spring or an outdoor hot spring facing Mount Fuji, you can soak in the hot spring with your family and enjoy the view of Mount Fuji. 🍱The breakfast is rich, including traditional Japanese meals and Western buffet dinner. The hotel provides Kaiseki cuisine. The tempura is freshly fried and has a crispy and tender taste. It is very delicious. 🚗 Transportation From Shinjuku, take the highway bus to Kawaguchiko Station, the journey takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

The winter fireworks festival 🎆 is so beautiful❤❤❤ Thousands of fireworks bloom in the night sky! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

This is one of the most unforgettable snow scenes I've ever seen! Because of the scene in Your Name where Taki stands in front of the "Hida" photo wall in the museum, I remember this mysterious landlocked area deeply. Gifu Prefecture has a rustic name, but it is not only the filming location of Your Name, but also a world heritage fairy tale town, and snow as dreamy as Hokkaido! The key is - there are not many people! . Your Name pilgrimage: Mainly concentrated in Hida Takayama and Hida Furukawa, you can travel back and forth by JR or bus. ⛰Takayama: The old town of Machiya, which retains the Edo style of 400 years ago, has mostly been turned into restaurants, cafes, etc., and it is very interesting to visit! You can also experience a rickshaw! There will be winter-only events in the nearby Mori below freezing. Filming location: Miyagawa Morning Market, Hie Shrine . 🌊Furukawa: The town is small and very, very quiet. Visit the streets of the late Edo and early Meiji periods in Shirakabe Dozo Street, a must-see for a pilgrimage. Filming location: Must-see Furukawa JR Station, Hida beef mascot in the station, specialty snack Gohei mochi, Sakura Bussankan weaving movie hand rope World Heritage Fairy Tale Town: Shirakawa-go, this is one of the top 10 must-see lists of my life - a white village surrounded by deep mountains, with triangular huts sitting in between, really beautiful to the point of being unreal! Transportation: You can take a bus from Nagoya or Hida Takayama, and you can make a day trip . Magome-juku, back to Edo: This is the only way to connect Kyoto and Tokyo in the 17th century, built on mountain roads, steep terrain, rickshaw horses really can't cross, so they have to leave the horses at the station, hence the name. It takes about 2 hours from Tajimi City, but the snow scene on the mountain road is really spectacular! Step into the snow on the cobblestone path of Magome-juku and admire the Edo houses on both sides. It seems to take me back to that era. . My 4-day itinerary: DAY 1: Beijing - Nagoya - Tajimi City DAY 2: Magome-juku - Ena Gorge - Taisho Village DAY 3: Hida Takayama - Hida Furukawa - Hida Takayama DAY 4: Shirakawa-go - Nagoya - Beijing (Ena Gorge is generally personal, no need to go on purpose) . Transportation: Direct flights from Beijing to Nagoya, and then transfer through JR + Meitetsu Bus, you can use the Dragon Ascent Road Pass, there are different routes for three days and five days. . The first trip of the new year, if you don't want to squeeze people in Hokkaido, you might as well travel in the opposite direction and go to the niche Gifu!! Japan·Asia Gifu City·Gifu Prefecture

Nestled in the Tohoku region of Akita Prefecture, Nyuto Onsen is a hidden gem known for its legendary hot springs. Among them, the 'Tsurunoyu' Onsen is the most famous, with its milky white waters. Booking a stay here can be challenging, so it's advisable to make reservations 4-6 months in advance. Nyuto Onsen boasts 10 different hot spring sources, each with unique colors such as brown, blue, white, and clear. 'Tsurunoyu' is particularly enchanting in winter when thick snow blankets the area, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. With a history of over 300 years, 'Tsurunoyu' features traditional thatched-roof buildings. In addition to separate outdoor baths for men and women, there is also a mixed-gender outdoor bath. There are nine types of hot springs available, as shown in the last image. The milky white waters leave your skin feeling smooth and rejuvenated. This unique hot spring experience is truly memorable. Hotel Name: Tsurunoyu Bekkan Yama no Yado (10 rooms). Transportation: Take the Shinkansen to JR Tazawako Station, transfer to the 'Nyuto Line' bus for 40 minutes, get off at 'Arupa Kumakosa,' and take the hotel shuttle for 10 minutes to reach your destination. Address: 1-1 Tazawa Senzatazawa Yunodai, Tazawako, Semboku City, Akita Prefecture. #JapanTravel #HotSprings #Akita

Embark on a unique adventure at Tsurunoyu and Kaniyu Onsen, two hidden gems in the Nyuto Onsen area. To reach these secluded hot springs, purchase the Nyuto Onsen Tour Pass, available at local inns, and take the tour bus that conveniently drops you off at these locations. During our visit, we chose Tsurunoyu and Kaniyu Onsen for their enchanting mixed-gender baths surrounded by a snowy forest landscape. Upon arrival, we found the place empty, allowing us to capture some beautiful photos. However, as more visitors arrived, photography became impossible. Remember to bring a large towel for changing, as the dressing area is only shielded by a curtain. Embrace the experience with confidence, and remember, if you don't feel awkward, neither will others. We even encountered a fellow bather from Tsurunoyu again at Kaniyu Onsen, highlighting the friendly atmosphere. Overall, this was an extraordinary and highly recommended experience. #HotSpring #JapaneseOnsen #TravelTips

This year, I visited the Christmas market in Roppongi, Tokyo. The Roppongi Hills attempted to recreate the world's largest Christmas market from Stuttgart, Germany. However, I was a bit disappointed as the market was quite small, with only 4 or 5 little stalls. Each stall had long queues of people. The introduction mentioned over 2,000 types of goods, which seemed to refer to the numerous small ornaments, as one stall could easily have 2,000 items. My friends and I left after less than 15 minutes. Although there were promised delicacies and mulled wine, the lines were too long, so we opted to see the lights near the station instead. The silver-blue neon lights were stunning and perfect for photos. However, the Tokyo Tower at night was lit in Christmas-themed colors, with the top in orange-red and the bottom in green-blue, which was quite amusing. Three years ago, I visited Sapporo, Hokkaido, during winter. The Christmas market there was huge, and we spent an entire afternoon exploring it. There were plenty of delicacies and many exquisite decorations, along with snow sculptures nearby. I recommend anyone wanting to experience a rich Christmas atmosphere in Japan to visit Hokkaido.
