[2024 Higashiizu Stay] Travel Guide for Hokkawa Onsen Hotel (Updated Nov)

🌸Enjoy the changing seasons and come to Beichuan Hot Spring Hotel to explore the natural beauty!

Matsumoto Castle 🏯 is one of Japan's national treasures, with a history dating back to the early 16th century. From a distance, the castle looks like a blooming lotus flower, very beautiful. 🌸 Inside the castle, there are many exhibits showcasing samurai culture and the family life of past lords, allowing visitors to gain a deeper understanding of Japan four hundred years ago. Not only that, if you like hot springs, I highly recommend the Izu Kitagawa Onsen Hotel 🏨. It is built on a mountain and has excellent mountain views and saltwater hot springs. The soaking pools here are all outdoors, and there are beautiful lights at night, facing the stars directly, it's a beautiful sight. ✨ When you come to Japan, of course you have to try the cuisine! There is a traditional Japanese restaurant 🍱 called "Tononouen" in the center of Matsumoto city. The ingredients here are all fresh and local, and the taste is very good. It is recommended to order grilled mochi with green onion, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, melting in your mouth. 😋 Japan is truly a country full of surprises, where you can learn new cultures and experiences from every corner. Next time you visit Japan, make sure to plan your itinerary well and don't miss out on these beautiful attractions!
