#AdventureMoment Direct flights from Incheon to Kobe are now available~!!!♡ There's an island called Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, where Kobe is located. Although it's an island, it's connected to the mainland by a bridge. It's like Ganghwa Island or Geoje Island, accessible by bus or car. There are three Hello Kitty theme parks here: Hello Kitty Showbox, Hello Kitty Apple House, and Hello Kitty Smile. Showbox and Apple House are separate but adjacent to each other. Smile is a three-minute shuttle bus ride away. Hello Kitty fans, this is the perfect place to enjoy a meal while watching a Kitty show, and even have a 30-second chat with Kitty and take a picture with her. How to get there: From Kobe Sannomiya Station, take a highway bus to Awaji SA and then take the free shuttle bus. Thank you.

Zenbo Seinei Designed by renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Ban Address: 2594-5 Kusumoto Azabanaka, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture Offers both day-trip Zen meditation and accommodation options (reservation required) Since its opening in 2022, Zenbo Seinei has been featured in numerous TV programs and media outlets. Its unique concept and impressive architecture have made it a hot topic. The structure is thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the ridgeline of Awaji Island, offering a 360-degree view of the island's seasonal landscapes. Here, you can bask in soft sunlight, breathe in fresh air, marvel at lush greenery, and gaze at the twinkling stars in the night sky. A highlight of the retreat is the 100-meter-long wooden deck equipped with meditation chairs. These chairs are designed to make Zen meditation accessible to everyone, allowing you to enjoy a Zen moment without any physical discomfort. ZEN Retreat Afternoon Tea Plan Before the afternoon tea, there is a ZEN Wellness (meditation) session. This practice helps cleanse your palate, enhancing the flavors of the food. Desserts and savory items are served in original wooden boxes and are prepared under the supervision of fermentation expert Nobuaki Fukuki. The menu is crafted with seasonal changes and physical well-being in mind, offering a new type of health-conscious cuisine. It uses seasonal and local ingredients from Awaji Island, avoiding animal products, eggs, or flour, to nourish both body and soul. If you close your eyes and meditate on the observation deck, listening to the sounds of nature, you will feel an extraordinary sense of calm, experiencing the essence of mindfulness. You can also immerse yourself in Zen practices amidst the natural beauty of Awaji Island, located along the 135°E meridian. The Zenbo deck, surrounded by nature, provides a special retreat to heal the stresses of daily life. The 135°E meridian, which passes through Awaji Island, adds a spiritual allure to Zenbo Seinei, making it particularly popular among spiritual enthusiasts.

To be honest, I regretted it as soon as I came back from Awaji Island! I regret not bringing a 256G stomach and a power bank😭 This hidden island 1.5 hours away from Osaka hides healing scenes that even Hayao Miyazaki can't draw But 90% of tourists only go to popular check-in spots! Today I will reveal the amazing gameplay + lightning avoidance secrets I found after 2 days of running wild 👇 💡Actual test: Don’t crowd the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Observation Deck anymore! The locals secretly told me that Awaji City Park is the best place to enjoy the night view🌌 180-degree unobstructed viewing platform + the only star telescope on the island Witness the moment when Ginga fell into the Naruto whirlpool I took the same silhouette photo of my sister in "The Stars" on the spot🎬 🔥Hidden experience that subverts cognition 1️⃣ Fisherman’s late night restaurant The uncle who returned from the fishing boat went into the alley Found a sea teras without a sign Freshly caught and killed Awaji onion baked lobster🦞 A delicious taste that subverts your perception! Only 3000 yen per person (⚠️Note: Closed on Wednesdays + Cash only) 2️⃣The secret art world that no one has ever written about I accidentally wandered into the ceramic forest of Awaji Island and almost couldn't get out! 13 ceramic installations hidden in the pine forest You can actually get into a 3-meter-high teapot to listen to the sound of the sea🍵 Gradient glaze tea cups fired in the handmade experience area After I brought it back home, my bestie asked me to connect with her... 3️⃣ Pink highway exclusive to cherry blossom season Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park, a place only locals know about There is no one in the 3km cherry blossom tunnel❗️ When the wind blows, the falling cherry blossoms at a speed of five centimeters per second drift into the Seto Inland Sea. (📸Best photo location: the second bench at the east exit) 🚫Lightning warning ×Don’t go to Awaji Farm Park in the afternoon! The tour buses gather after 2pm, and you have to queue for more than an hour if you want to take a photo with the alpacas √ Go at 9 am to catch the limited edition Sakura Yokan DIY ×Carefully select popular sea view homestay あわじ The soundproofing is so poor that you can hear the snoring next door, and there are mold spots in the bathroom √ Highly recommend the Kaion traditional townhouse, the owner will take you to catch the sea 💡Traffic blood and tears lesson ❶ Take the high-speed ferry instead of the JR when departing from Osaka! Umeda → Sumoto Port direct 65 minutes (about 1 hour saved) ❷The bus on the island runs once every hour! Download Awaji Island Navi real-time search ❸It is better to rent an electric bike than a car (many small roads are inaccessible to cars) 📍Private check-in point navigation Beautiful night view: Awaji City Park Observatory (search mapcode: 49 358 023) Lobster Restaurant: 154-3 Ono, Sumoto City (recognize the blue fishing net curtain) Secret Place of Ceramics: 2428 Kusumoto, Awaji City (closed on Wednesdays) This healing island that has not been fully commercialized It's worth walking slowly and savoring it carefully❤️

#HotelReview About Loco Kamaguchi Ulu in Awaji Island. Large windows that frame the ocean in front of you like a painting. The gentle sound of the waves, and the spacious space where couples can spend a quiet and peaceful time. A fun space where you can deepen your bonds with friends, family, and children while having a lively BBQ🎵 I thought it was a wonderful rental villa with many ways to enjoy it. The wood grain interior and hand soap are very tasteful. There is a bathroom, toilet, and bedroom on the first and second floors. The first floor has a cute bathtub with an ocean view, and the second floor has an enzyme bubble bath. You can only go outside on the BBQ terrace on the first floor. The breeze feels good when you have breakfast here. It's nice that there is a large wall-mounted TV and you can play music on a small speaker☺️ When I woke up in the morning, I was soothed by the ocean I could see from the window. For breakfast, I had fruits and bread purchased at the roadside station arranged on a plate. In addition to knives, forks, plates, cups, and spoons, there is also a kitchen equipped with kitchen utensils such as knives and pots, so you can enjoy cooking at the villa♪ This is a rental villa that can be enjoyed for various purposes from 2 to 9 people, so it is highly recommended for the coming good season. Amenities Shampoo, body soap, comb, body sponge, cotton swabs, slippers, lap blanket, toothbrush, mouthwash, Coffee, tea, water, bottled juice 📝There are no pajamas or bathrobes, so please bring your own Facilities Kitchen, bubble enzyme bath, hair dryer, underfloor heating, BBQ set (additional charge) Parking for 4 cars Check-in 15:00 Check-out 10:00 📝The villa owner will contact you in advance by SMS, so let them know your arrival time.

This villa offers a beautiful ocean view. I visited on a weekday with five friends for workcation. The spacious work space and fast Wi-Fi helped me get work done, and I also enjoyed the sauna and delicious food. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable, and my friend and I slept next to each other, but it didn't feel cramped at all. It can accommodate up to seven people. The villa is located on a steep slope, so I thought I would rent a small car if I were traveling with friends.

I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat delicious yakiniku on Awaji Island. ✱----------------------------------------------- [Name] Awaji Yume Hormone [Location] 129 Tomishima, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture [Access] 15 minutes by car from Awaji IC [Business hours] 11:00-15:00 (last orders 14:30), 17:00-21:00 (last orders 20:30) [Closed] Fridays (open on public holidays and during peak seasons) [Reference budget] Lunch 2,000 yen [Notes] Reservations accepted Visit date: September 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱ #Barbecue #Yakiniku #Hyogo Tourism #Awaji Island #Lunch #Gourmet #Yume Hormone #Hidden Restaurant
