Hikarigaoka Park is one of the best cherry blossom spots in northern Tokyo, offering a spacious and relaxing hanami experience. With over 1,000 sakura trees spread across the park, it provides a stunning pink canopy during peak bloom. The wide-open grassy areas make it perfect for picnics, and since it's less crowded than famous spots like Ueno Park, you can actually find a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the scenery. The park also features walking trails, a playground, and even sports facilities, making it great for families and active visitors. One of the highlights here is the peaceful, community-oriented atmosphere, as most visitors are locals rather than tourists. If you're looking for a large, uncrowded park with beautiful cherry blossoms and plenty of space to relax, Hikarigaoka Park is an excellent choice. It’s the perfect place for a full day of outdoor fun and hanami!

#Fukuoka Attractions Musashi-ji Temple is a beautiful temple. This temple is a Tendai sect temple. Its main statue is the Yakushi Nyorai statue. It was built during the Nara period, but the founding time is unclear. The founder was Fujiwara no Toramaro, a descendant of Fujiwara no Kamatari.

Futsukaichi Onsen, nestled in Chikushino City, Fukuoka, boasts a rich heritage dating back over 1300 years. Once known by various names like "Suita no yu," "Yakushi onsen," and "Musashi onsen," it was officially named Futsukaichi Onsen in 1950. Renowned as the sole hot spring in Fukuoka for centuries, it captured the essence of liveliness in a haiku by the esteemed writer Soseki Natsume. Today, while it may not be the largest hot spring town, Futsukaichi Onsen remains a beloved tourist destination. Visitors are drawn to nearby attractions like the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, celebrated for its association with learning, the historic Buzo-ji Temple at the mountain's base, and the Kyushu National Museum. The area is also noted for its high-end ryokans, which have hosted many cultured and notable guests. The hot spring's water is an alkaline simple thermal radioactive spring, reputed for its therapeutic effects on neuralgia and skin diseases, adding to the allure of this historically rich and culturally significant destination. We hopped on the JR train and got off at Futsukaichi Station. After enjoying a brief 10-minute walk, we were greeted by two public bathhouses right next to each other. The experience is quite affordable 200-300 Yen (2-3$) After the bath, you feel really good. Your body feels loose and free, like all the tightness has gone away. (Be careful, the water is really hot! I can only stay for 15 mins 😅) I will surely be back again next time ! Really recommend! #hotspring #Fukuoka #onsenjp

Ichiran in Japan has amazing ramen and you can order it without directly speaking to anyone. You sit at a booth alone, place your order on a piece of paper, having options like noodles texture and how savoury you want your soup to be. The waiter from the other side of the booth collects your order without even seeing your face. After the ramen is served, the bamboo curtain is lowered. Also, there's English on the menu so it's absolutely tourists friendly! #japan #food
