#2024wishThe Nokogiyama Museum of Art opened as the Kanaya Museum in March 2010 and changed its name to "Kogiyayama Museum of Art" to commemorate the 10th anniversary. It's a small art museum, but a competition work exhibition was held, and I came to see the works of my relatives who won the Excellence Award. Is there a way to draw a picture like this? A lot of works that I saw for the first time were exhibited. Japanese painting, watercolor painting, oil painting, ink painting, ink painting, acrylic painting, printmaking, woodblock print, copperplate printing, colored pencil painting, Oshika, mixed media, Akeira, Lampera painting, hand embroidery, seashell art, spray art, etc. I was surprised by the work I saw for the first time, and if I had known it when I was a child, there is no doubt that I would have been interested in something. After 60 years old, it may be good to try something in your second life. It is an art museum that families with small children should also visit with their children and take their time to visit. I think a future painter will be born (^-^) Some people may think that children's voices are noisy, but I would like you to overlook the tour by shifting it to the daytime on weekdays. It is a 5-minute walk from Hamakanaya Station on the JR Uchibo Line, a 3-minute drive from Tateyama Road Futtsu-Kanaya IC, and a 3-minute walk from Tokyo Bay Ferry Kanaya Port, so please visit. I wish to travel more in 2024

#2024wish Definitely one of the best hiking areas I have been to around the Tokyo area. It took 1.5 hours to get to from Chiba Station. Not sure how long it takes to get to from Tokyo. I thought it was worth the long trek. There are some nice seafood restaurants around in the town. People in the town are really friendly and nice as always in Japan. Cost for the just the park was 700 yen. There is the cable car to take you up and down, but you can hike all the way to the top and down if desired. Cable car is 1200 yen round trip. There are some amazing granite walls and stone carvings there. However, the highlights are the cliff hanging overlook, 50ft Buddha carved into the granite wall, and the Great Buddha (which I missed and didn't see.☹️) Don't miss any of the highlights like I did. Lol. Really well constructed trails, stairs, and paths. I wish to travel more in 2024

#2024wish Exploring Chiba nearby. Nice for a short trip. You may spot Fuji when the sky is clear. Prepare your leg to explore the mountain and temple. It is easy to visit by ropeway, but if you want to see the Buddha statues, you will need trekking clothes and shoes. There are many stairs to climb and descend. You can enjoy very nice scenery and nature. I wish to travel more in 2024

#2024wish Good place, lots of parking. You need to buy a ticket at the bottom for the tram and then another ticket at the top to enter the shrine area. A lot of steps, tough with little kids and the elderly if you try to go beyond the observation deck. Bring your lunch, no place for food.Wear appropriate shoes for walking as you will be doing a bit of it, if you wish to see the whole complex. Lots of stairs. Eat whatever you like on this day as all calories will be cancelled. Well worth the walk in my opinion. I wish to visit more in 2024

The Great Buddha (Daibutsu) or also known as the “Great Buddha of Kamakura” is enshrined at Kotokuin Temple. It is considered a very important symbol of Kamakura. It is considered the second tallest Buddha statue in Japan, second only to the Great Buddha at Todaiji Temple in Nara. Today, we are traveling to Japan as a small family trip to worship the Great Buddha to ask for blessings. It is the first time for my parents to travel to Japan. They have to take good care of them because the weather here is cold. #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #Japanesetemple #GreatBuddhatemple #traveljapan #FamilyTrip Opening hours: April-September 8:00-17:30 October-March 8:00-17:00 Address: Chiba, Japan Travel plan: 5-10 min walk from Hase Station [Enoden railway line] Average price per person: Students (ages 13-18) 200 yen Students (ages 6-12) 150 yen #Travelwithtrip2024
