#Japan Attractions #Japan Travel #Hakkai Mountain #sake When you go to Shinshu's famous sake-making place, you must visit the distillery. This time I went to the Hakkai Mountain Snow Room. Hakkaisan Snow Room is located a 15-minute drive from JR Urasa Station. Because there is no public transportation near the snow room, it is not a self-drive tour and it is best to take a taxi. A taxi is about 3000 yen or so. The most anticipated thing to go to the winery is the free tasting, it has quite a lot of styles can be tried for free. Hakkaisan Distillery boasts that all its wines are made from natural refrigerated refrigerated sake. tasting, in addition to many kinds of sake, there are also sake to try. In addition, some more famous, like 8 years of storage, this one costs 400 yen to try, easy to enter, a little sweet, very good to drink. Compared to barn for 3 years (available to try for free), 8 years is much better to drink. So I bought 1 too. This is well worth a tour of the winery.

Japan 🗾 has many different places ❤️ some of them can let you know more about the culture and food manufacturing process of Japan 🇯🇵 For example, there is Sarukurayama Brewery in Niigata ✅✅✅ It's a very fresh attraction📸️📸️ Located in the well-known sake brand Hakkaiyama Brewing House in the Nagamori area of ​​Minami Uonuma is the complex facility Uonuma Nori 😉 The vast area and beautiful natural scenery of the park is distributed with several buildings 🫢 Although the sake brewery is not open to tourists, you can visit the Sarukurayama beer brewery 😌 There are also various facilities such as the snow storage warehouse and the database 😉😉 The rich content here is worthy of being one of the must-visit attractions in the South Fish Marsh area 👍🏻 However, it is a little not close to the subway🚇 station🙈 You can get there by taxi from JR "Gochimachi Station" for about 10 minutes😗😗 #Japan Attractions #Parent-Child Good Places #Resident Writer #Overseas Travel #Parent-Child Good Places Guide #Parent-Child Activity #Parent-Child Holiday Good Places #Parent-Child Local Tour #Parent-Child Activity Good Places #Parent-Child Play Goods #Valentine's Day #Easter #Valentine's Day #Couples Daily #Couple Daily #Dating Japan #Japan Travel #Japan Food #Tokyo Travel Japan #TokyoGood Places #TokyoTravel #TokyoTravel

A planetarium inside the train!? The Hokuetsu Railway Hokuhoku Line, a local line that runs through Niigata Prefecture, has Japan's first theater train, the "Yumezora" train, which runs only on Sundays🚃✨ The Hokuhoku Line has a disadvantage in that the long tunnels mean that the scenery is not visible, so the "Yumezora" train was created to take advantage of this. The interior of the train becomes pitch black while passing through the tunnel, and the ceiling is used as a theater to project the galaxy, which is an interesting program. I didn't know about this, and I was just riding the train as a means of transportation, so I was unexpectedly lucky😆💕 Only four round trips are operated on Sundays, so if you are going to ride this train, check the website in advance. And since not all the cars are on the train, you need to be careful when you get on! #traintrip #illumination #trip2022

One afternoon half a year ago, we sat around the coffee table, carefully sketching out this dream journey. Echigo Yuzawa, a place famous for its snow country, became our unanimous goal. Skiing, bathing in hot springs, and enjoying delicious food, these images are interwoven in the mind into an exciting winter picture. As time passed little by little, this carefully planned journey finally kicked off in a silvery white world. First visit to the snow country: the charm of Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort When we arrived at Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort, the scene in front of us was breathtaking. The boundless snowfield seems like a pure white carpet spread by nature for us. The hotel is located on the mountainside, like a cabin in a fairy tale, emitting warm lights, waiting for the arrival of travelers. The facilities in the ski resort are very complete, especially the gondola, which is spacious and comfortable, allowing people to easily reach the top of the mountain from the foot of the mountain. Along the way, we admired the magnificent snow scenery through the glass windows. The undulating mountains, snow-covered forests and villages in the distance complemented each other, as if we were in a winter fairy tale. First skiing experience: friendly, enjoyable and unforgettable For us ski novices, Ishiuchi Maruyama Ski Resort is undoubtedly an excellent choice. The snow is soft and it feels like stepping into a fluffy cloud. Even if you fall, you won't feel any pain. The ski resort's terrain design is very friendly. Beginners can choose gentle slopes to practice slowly, while slightly more challenging slopes attract more experienced skiers. Under the guidance of the coach, we started from the most basic movements, from stumbling to gradually mastering balance, from being nervous and afraid to laughing out loud, and every step in between was filled with a sense of accomplishment. When I successfully slid down the slope for the first time, the only sound in my ears was the sound of the wind, but my heart was filled with immense joy. This feeling cannot be described in words. Hot spring bathing and food: the ultimate enjoyment of body, mind and soul After skiing, returning to the hotel to bathe is the most relaxing moment of the day. The warm spring water soaks the whole body, and the falling snowflakes outside the window and the silhouettes of the distant mountains complement each other, making people feel unprecedented tranquility and happiness. Such time seems to wash away all the fatigue, leaving only full comfort and satisfaction. Of course, delicious food is indispensable during the journey. The food at the inn is rich and exquisite, from sukiyaki made with fresh local ingredients to heart-warming miso soup, every dish is mouth-watering. The snack stalls in the ski resort are also not to be missed. The hot grilled rice cakes and sweet red bean soup add a touch of warmth to the cold winter days. An unforgettable journey The weather was pleasant, and the sun shone on the snow, reflecting dazzling light, adding a touch of romance to our journey. This trip to Echigo Yuzawa not only allowed us to experience the fun of skiing, but also allowed us to find inner peace in our busy lives. The snowflakes, the laughter, the warm spring water and the delicious food will always remain in our memory. This is a well-planned journey and a feast for the soul. When we left, we had already silently made a wish to visit again. Echigo Yuzawa, thank you for bringing us such wonderful memories, we look forward to our next reunion. --- Transportation Tips: How to get to Echigo Yuzawa easily?

He held up the rusty copper key: "According to legend, the couple who can open the back door will..." Before he finished speaking, the rotten wooden door creaked open. A strong wind blew in and lifted up her scarf. He ran over the broken wall chasing the flying red cloth, but tripped in front of the altar. She held up her phone and recorded the video while laughing wildly: "This is God's punishment for Chuunibyou!"

I went to a bakery called "1095BAKERY" in Minamiuonuma City, Niigata! 📍193-1 Nagamori, Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture 1095BAKERY was named with the theme of delicious bread 365 days a year! They make bread using Hakkaisan's brewing water and natural yeast! When I went in the morning, there were only a few types of bread that had been baked. They say that the most bread is lined up around noon, so I recommend going there at that time! The inside of the store was an open space with a beer brewery and a place to enjoy beer and bread. This time, I mainly bought sake, so I didn't buy Hakkaisan beer or gin, but I saw a video in the archives that said Hakkaisan is trying various challenges, and I thought it was amazing that the company is not only looking at tradition but also at new things! #FuriTabiWinter

If you are a ski fanatic and sniff at everything else, you will be very pleased with this hostel. Imagine the supporting facilities here can simply be described in four words – “minimalist”, because there is literally nothing to be found except rooms. If you’re planning to drive yourself while expecting the “one-stop-two” treatment, then you may need to think twice about the inn’s dining options that are simpler than a minimalist’s wardrobe. (It’s best to bring your own food.) However, just as this lodge has its mystery abandoned at the foot of the big mountain, it’s a step away from throwing yourself into the arms of snow and climbing to the sanctuary of skiing by cable car. So if your skiing passion is higher than snow-capped mountains, this is your paradise. Think about it, where you can find this "slip bed" service without having to take a few steps after getting up and rolling directly from your bedroom to the snow?

I was the first to go down the mountain in the morning, using freshly groomed and clean snow, without anyone or any distracting thoughts. I completed every S without any pressure, and every turn was a self-talk. Ski center allows you to be the first to go down the mountain and the first to go up the mountain, making learning more efficient!
