Tokyo 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Tachikawa Showa Memorial Park It seems that the yellow cosmos at Showa Memorial Park are blooming beautifully again this year. The yellow carpet of cosmos was beautiful.

The ginkgo tree line was simply beautiful. There were a lot of people, but I was happy that I was able to take some great photos. It's a spacious park near Tokyo, so you can go there for a day trip. There are a lot of people walking their dogs, so I took a photo with a cute dog! (Permission granted) The entrance is typical of an American park (with a large fountain), so you can feel the exotic atmosphere. #trip2023

[Access] ○About a 7-minute walk from JR Akishima Station ※There is also a bus that stops near the hotel. [Points] ~Enjoy the abundance of nature~ Forest Inn Showakan is an Okura-affiliated hotel that is relatively close to Akishima Station. The best thing about Forest Inn is the amount of greenery you can see from the large windows. The amount of greenery in the courtyard is so abundant that you will forget you are in Tokyo. You can see beautiful greenery from the rooms overlooking the courtyard, so please take your time and enjoy your hotel life. Please note that this hotel is scheduled to close in January 2025, so we recommend that you make your reservation early. *Information as of July 2024. #Travelingwithme

This yakiniku restaurant is located less than 10 minutes from Akishima Station. There is nothing particularly eye-catching in the surrounding area, and the storefront itself looks clean and stylish. In fact, once you step inside, the spacious restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere. There are private rooms, so your privacy is guaranteed. I had the Ushiwa Premium Course. I was able to choose between salt or sauce for the meat at the start, so I chose salt. Since it was a restaurant where you grill your own meat, I was a little worried about ruining the good meat by overcooking it. (It was fine!) ◼️ Kimchi platter (Chinese cabbage, cucumber, kakuteki) Overall it was quite spicy. If you like spicy food, I think it would be great. The kakuteki has a firm texture and is chewy. ◼️ Ushimitsu salad Choregi salad with large leaves ◼️ Sauce yukhoe Sweetly seasoned ◼️ Premium tongue Thickly cut but soft and really delicious. Your mouth will drop. ◼️ Tomo sankaku Thickly cut and juicy than you'd expect. It hits you right in the mouth. ◼️ Ushiwa loin, Ushiwa skirt steak I guess it was average compared to the others. ◼️ Vegetables Shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and green peppers ◼️ Yaki shabu Quickly grilled and mixed with egg. It looks beautiful. ◼️Dashi hiyashi noodles The dashi broth is well seasoned and delicious ◼️Dessert Yuzu sorbet. A refreshing and clean way to finish off a meal [Yakiniku Ushiwa] Address: 2-23-1 Kamikawaharacho, Akishima-shi, Tokyo 196-0011 Phone number: 042-519-7959 #KantoTourism#Akishima #TokyoTourism #TokyoTrip #TokyoGourmet

Haijima Hiyoshi Shrine in Chofu, Tokyo 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 It was originally enshrined by Hiyoshi Taisha in Omi Province as the guardian shrine of Dainichido. The founding date is unknown. It was renamed Hiyoshi Shrine in 1869 (Meiji 2). The must-see at Hiyoshi Shrine is the overwhelming sculptures. The sculptures in the worship hall are impressive, but the main hall's sculptures are colorful and wonderful. The main hall's sculptures are based on the sculptures of Xiangshan Gurou, who was enjoyed by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty at a graceful gathering at Xiangshan Temple in Luoyang. You can also go behind the scenes, so you can take a good look at them. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Haijima Hiyoshi Shrine ꕥAddress: 1-10-19 Haijimacho, Akishima City, Tokyo ꕥAccess: 🚉Haijima Station → approx. 28 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Haijima #Shrine tour #Shrines and temples #Shrine worship #Shrine lover

It's a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Tachikawa Station to Showa Memorial Park. Tickets are cheap, so it's easy on the wallet. It's a great place to camp🏕️ and relax all day, and it's especially popular with children. #familytravel #tachikawacity #ShowaMemorialPark

#springblossom The colorful tulips are blooming and beautiful. Tulips were in full bloom in spring, mainly in the mountain streams, and their vivid colors were as spectacular as the autumn leaves in a Japanese garden. There was also guidance on which areas were suitable for photography. This is helpful because you can see which areas are blooming, and you don't have to walk around in vain. In terms of distance, if you come from Nishitachikawaguchi station, I think it will take about 5 minutes on foot.

#thingstodo Showa Memorial Park, originally a post-war base for the US military, is located in Tachikawa City on the outskirts of Tokyo. After the US military returned the land and evacuated, it was built to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Emperor Showa's reign. It is about 40 kilometers away from downtown Tokyo (Yokohama The distance to here is about the same), and it occupies an area three times the size of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Because the park is very large, and there are more than 1,500 cherry blossom trees, and the grassy field in front of the cherry blossom forest is super large and very suitable for children's activities, so I have chosen this place in the past few years. While watching the cherry blossoms.

#thingstodo I think it takes about 20 minutes on foot from Haijima Station. The information board in the precincts says that it is a shrine that enshrines the god of industrial development, agricultural promotion, and disaster prevention. The precincts have a calm atmosphere, and the main shrine has a sturdy structure. Perhaps because of the quiet location, there were only two worshipers, including me. It's a good shrine to visit in a relaxed manner.

#thingstodo Beautiful hotel with huge rooms. The in room bathroom is huge with an amazing tub and bidet. Very quiet location and very close to Akishima Mall shopping area and train station. There is a shuttle that runs nearly every hour and the shopping areas are within walking distance. The staff is nice and the breakfast buffet is great. The only thing that was just okay is the thin mattresses on the beds. When I'm back in Akishima, this is definitely my go to place!
