Okayama 𓂃 𓈒𓏸 Niwase PONT NEUF I went back home in July to see my longest-time friend A restaurant wedding at Pont Neuf, famous for being the location for the movie "8 Years of Longing". I was looking forward to seeing her as a bride, and it was a heartwarming moment. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a perfect match, and the weather was beautiful. I have a lot of photos I want to post, but I'll focus on the food. lol I've only ever used it for takeout, but it's still as delicious as ever 🤤 You can also use it for lunch or dinner, so be sure to go there on a special day or anniversary By the way, parc, located in the nearby RSK Rose Garden, is a more casual place to use than the cafe they run (pic8.9) ◎ 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇From Tabelog 11:00-15:30 (L.O.13:30) 17:30-22:00 (L.O.20:30) Closed on Wednesdays and the second Tuesday ︎𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇From Tabelog 516-7 Kamihigashi, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 #wintertrip #solotrip #trip #Okayama #Okayamatrip #Okayamatourism #Okayamaprefecture

Okayama is a city in Okayama Prefecture, Japan. It is the second largest prefecture in the Chugoku region after Hiroshima. It is an important transportation hub between the rest of Japan and the Shikoku region. The prefecture had three small castle towns during the Edo period and has been developed ever since. There is a world-famous Japanese folktale, Momotaro, which can be seen in various parts of the city. Okayama is the center of western Japan. The most famous garden is Korakuen Garden, which is ranked as one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan. But another famous story is probably the story of Momotaro, the legendary peach boy, who originated from this city. Today, Okayama is a modern city. There are more than 700,000 people living here, and more and more tourists visit every year. 🚈 How to get there Osaka to Okayama - Travel by JR Shin-Osaka Station, take the Sanyo Shinkansen to Okayama Station, the journey takes about 45-50 minutes. #Tip abroad#Tip Japan

#AustraliaFlightEvent Okayama Castle felt more like a well-organized museum than a castle. Also, there were many things to experience at the end, so it seemed like a good place to bring children. I also tried some Japanese experiences, but some experiences have set times, so I think it would be good to take a look around, check the time, have a cup of coffee, and wait before experiencing them. #JapanTravel

#AustraliaFlightEvent A blog said that starting your Kurashiki tour at Archi Shrine is a good idea. It's a high place where you can see the entire Bikan Historical Quarter, so it's good to go down after seeing the whole thing. So let's go around Archi Shrine first!!! If you have bad knees, go to Bikan Historical Quarter first and then come back. ❤️Archi Shrine 12-1 Honmachi, Kurashiki, Okayama 710- 0054 Japan +81864254898 Everyday 08:30 ~ 17:00 #JapanTravel

Kibitsuhiko Shrine is the Ichinomiya of Bizen Province, Kibitsu Shrine is the Ichinomiya of Bitchu Province, so there are two shrines within walking distance that worship the same deity.

📍 Okayama Prefecture Traveling Paper Cutting Exhibition This is connected to the Hotel Granvia Okayama, which I introduced the other day, by a private bridge🌉 and is held in the Okayama City Museum, which is just a 3-4 minute walk away, so I'm lucky it's so close🥺🫰✨️ I've always wanted to go see this place when I go to Okayama👏 I made it just in time for the opening period, but I'm sorry that it was already over by the time I posted this😂🙏 But it was a beautiful world, so I'd like to introduce it to you🌏” As the name suggests, this is a traveling paper cutout🕯️ If it's held near you or when you're traveling, please go and check it out💗💗 💗 Light paper cutting artist Atsumi Sakai's original paper cuttings are named "light paper cuttings" for her original style of expressing "paper cuttings" through "light", and as the name suggests, they are works of light and shadow 🖼️ Each work is delicate and beautiful, and is wrapped in kindness and warmth, inviting the viewer into a dream world 🫧 It is a nostalgic and heart-stirring "experience-based art" 🎨 Despite visiting on a weekday near the end of the exhibition, just before closing time, it was a huge success 😳💭 It's tough for those who want to take photos (lol), but that means it was an exhibition that so many people wanted to go to‼ ️ The projection mapping requires an incredible number of projections to go around once. It also takes a long time to start looking back from the beginning. If you miss a shot, you have to wait a long time...🤣 But it was fun for the viewers, and hard for the creators💦 All the works, even the fleeting ones, were beautiful and wonderful🙂↕️🫶💗 The Okayama exhibition has ended, but they have regular exhibitions, so if you come across them, please go and see them!🖐 #0 yen trip January 2025

It is a small village surrounded by mountains🏡 91% of the village is forest🌳, and the Asahikawa River, the third largest river in Okayama Prefecture, flows through the area. With abundant water and forest resources, it is one of the most beautiful villages in Japan. The cherry blossoms🌸 in Shinjō Village are a major feature, adding endless charm and poetry to the village. These cherry trees are over a hundred years old! They line both sides of the street, forming a spectacular cherry blossom tunnel🥰 When spring comes and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire Shinjō Village seems to be surrounded by a sea of pink flowers, like a dream. It is worth mentioning that the Edo-style samurai residences in Shinjō Village complement the cherry blossom scenery. These historic buildings look even more rustic and elegant against the backdrop of cherry blossoms, as if you have traveled back to the Edo period🎏 Visitors can enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms while experiencing the charm of traditional Japanese culture.
