#skitrip A dreamlike visual feast, but the itinerary planning needs to consider the richness of activities. The snow scene of Yinshan Hot Spring is undoubtedly the peak visual experience. When the snow is flying, the romantic atmosphere of the Showa era intertwined with buildings and lights is breathtakingly beautiful, as if walking into the scene of literature or movies. [Rational suggestions on accommodation] However, for travellers who are considering staying here, it is recommended to be psychologically prepared: the charm of this place is concentrated in "visual beauty" and "quiet atmosphere". After nightfall, in addition to being immersed in the snow scene and hot springs, there is a lack of other commercial activities or entertainment facilities around. Summary: If your goal is extreme tranquillity and photography, it is definitely worth living here; but if you pursue the diversity of the itinerary, you may feel that the time after night is slightly monotonous. It is recommended to position this place as an exclusive itinerary for "emptying the mind", rather than a lively stronghold to seek sensory stimulation.

Experience the illusion of stepping into the world of Studio Ghibli. The park is designed to evoke iconic scenes, filling visitors with excitement and wonder. After enjoying Ghibli Park, I headed to a restaurant housed in a renovated traditional Japanese home—Jinenjo Chaya! I ordered the Jinenjo Soba Set Meal ⭐︎. The rice and pork miso soup were self-serve and unlimited, making it a great value! I definitely want to visit again ♡ This restaurant is a must-repeat for me. 📍Location: Ghibli Park → Aichi Rapid Transit Tobu Kyuryo Line (Linimo), right next to 'Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park' Station 1533-1 Ototsu, Ibaragema, Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture 📍Location: Jinenjo Chaya → 20-minute walk or 3-minute drive from Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park Station 730 Minamiyamaguchi-cho, Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, 489-0965

If you're planning to visit Ghibli Park, this hotel is a convenient choice for your stay! The day before heading to Ghibli Park, I stayed at Hotel Route-Inn Owari Seto Ekimae, which is just a short walk from Meitetsu Seto Line's Owari Seto Station. The hotel is located right in front of the station, making it easy to find even for first-time visitors. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, making it a great spot for both business and leisure travelers. The interior of the hotel is clean, and while the rooms are on the smaller side, they are equipped with essential amenities such as a humidifying air purifier, Wi-Fi, and a refrigerator. The hotel features separate large baths for men and women, which are open until late at night (and also available in the morning). You can even check the bath's occupancy status from your room, which is very convenient! I also appreciated the complimentary coffee available anytime ☕️. The free breakfast buffet was impressive, offering a variety of Japanese and Western dishes. Be sure to try the Seto-style yakisoba! The staff were courteous and attentive, making the overall experience a comfortable and reliable stay. Basic Information Address: 1 Nishikurasho-cho, Seto City, Aichi Prefecture From the station: About a 2-minute walk from Owari Seto Station Check-in: From 3:00 PM / Check-out: Until 10:00 AM

When visiting Japan 🇯🇵, many people often shop for clothes, but there are actually many other interesting items worth buying 🤣. One such place is the Lucky Cat Club. Next to the Lucky Cat Museum, there’s a trendy cafe. However, I find its prices to be on the higher side for Japan. In the cafe’s parking lot 🅿️, there’s a massive reclining cat 😌, and right beside it, you’ll find a vintage bus 🚌. The Lucky Cat Museum is located on the second floor, while the first floor houses a small cafe. The cafe mainly serves wagashi (Japanese sweets), coffee, and tea. To access the second floor, you’ll need to pay an admission fee. Although the second floor is quite small 🤨, it’s packed with a vast collection of lucky cats. If you take your time to examine each one, you could easily spend two hours there 😍. Additionally, the museum provides information about lucky cat shrines from all over Japan. Finally, there’s shopping 🥰! If you’re a big fan of lucky cats, this place is perfect for you 🤣, as it offers many limited-edition lucky cats for purchase.

When visiting Nagoya, most people head to Ghibli Park or Shirakawa-go. This time, we introduce 'Wood Design Park Seto,' which is about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from 'Ai-Chikyū Kōen Station.' If you want to enjoy Ghibli Park until it closes at 5:00 PM and then head to the campsite for a BBQ, this is a great option. A call car or taxi from the theme park to the campsite costs within 2000 yen. The campsite features many gassho-style cabins. Entrance to the park is free, but you need to make a reservation for accommodation, which costs around 15,000 to 20,000 yen. The park offers many nature-integrated facilities, such as: - Children's stream - Gassho-style lounge (where you can participate in various activities like origami and pottery) - Numerous campsite facilities, including swings, treehouses, and wooden stakes - A nostalgic general store

A pottery class located inside the Shinano Pottery Center in Seto City. You can experience both hand-kneading and using an electric potter's wheel, and there is no time limit, so you can take your time to make pottery. 🩵 You can make anything you like, from vessels and vases to ornaments! I struggled with the potter's wheel at first, but in the end I was very satisfied with the nice vessels I made. 🥰 There is also a simple painting experience, so it is recommended for families as children can enjoy it casually! It takes about one to one and a half months for the works to be fired, and if you want to ship it, you will have to pay packaging and shipping fees. (From 1,650 yen) Next door is the "Michi-no-Eki Seto Shinano," where you can enjoy meals and shopping before and after your pottery experience. Address: 1-126-2 Shinano-cho, Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, 480-1207 Business hours: 9:00-17:00 Working hours: 10:00-16:00 Reception hours: 10:00-15:00 (excluding 12:00-13:00) ①10:00②13:00③14:00④15:00 (Painting only) Closed: 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month (normal business hours on public holidays) Practice fee: Adults 2,200 yen Children 1,650 yen (junior high school students and younger) Firing fee: Hand-formed works 220 yen per 100g Wheel-wheel works 330 yen per 100g Tatara works 330 yen per 100g Example: One potter's wheel teacup weighs about 300g to 400g #experience #pottery experience #aichi prefecture tourism #seto city tourism #shinano pottery center

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 📍Bera Coffee A long-established coffee shop founded in 1970☕️ They have stores in Sakae, Seto, and Moriyama. This time I went to the Sakae store (about a 5-minute walk from Sakae Station). Their specialty is Vienna coffee topped with plenty of fresh cream, which is also the store's trademark. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ The morning set is available from 7:30 to 11:00. When you order a drink, you get a free boiled egg and brown sugar toast. [Menu example] Wiener coffee ▷ 520 yen Caramel Wiener coffee ▷ 570 yen Wiener tea ▷ 520 yen Wiener cocoa ▷ 600 yen Blended coffee ▷ 420 yen Cafe au lait ▷ 480 yen The fresh cream in the Wiener coffee was not too heavy, slightly sweet, and very delicious. The way to enjoy it is to savor the way it gradually melts without mixing it with the drink! As a cream lover, it was truly a blissful time☺︎ I had plans to have breakfast with a friend at another store that day, but I was so curious about the Vienna coffee that I ended up going to the morning bar... I went right after the store opened, but the store was already about 70% full, and it's a popular store with customers coming in one after another. It's far away so I don't have many opportunities to go, but next time I come to Nagoya, I'd like to visit it again at my leisure☕️ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 〖Cafe Information〗 📍Bera Coffee Sakae Store 3-21-18 Nishiki, Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture Chuo Hirokoji Building 1F ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 〖🇯🇵 Record of outings〗 ✎ Area: Nagoya, Sakae (Aichi) ✎ Visited: January 2024 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ #Nagoya #Aichi #Sakae #Cafe #Coffee #Bera Coffee

Spot name: Sanageyama Parking: Approximately 150 cars Toilets: Parking lot, Higashinomiya Time required: Approximately 5 hours On a sunny holiday, we arrived at Sanageyama before 8am. The first parking lot and the roadside were full, so we parked our car in the second parking lot, a little further away, and set off🚶‍♂️ There are toilets and rest areas on the way to the summit, so we took breaks as we went. We reached the summit in about 2.5 hours. There were benches and tables at the summit, and everyone was eating their lunches🍙 Some people were boiling water with simple camping equipment and drinking coffee☕️ It is climbed by a wide range of people, from elementary school children to the elderly, and it is well maintained, so even beginners can easily try it⛰ #Sanageyama #Toyota City
