Hikonyan ~

#2023travelwish This is the Hikone castle situated in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture. It takes approximately an hour train ride from Kyoto station. Hikone is a small and quiet town, an off-beaten path. The castle can be reached within 15 minutes in foot. I really love the castle as the mascot is so cute and it does small performances too! The castle is three-storey tall and there is also a garden to explore~ There is also a mountain view to enjoy. I love it so much that I’ve visited twice! 😂 I wish that I can visit more castles in the future ~

If you also want to see cherry blossoms, you can avoid the crowds and come here to Kyoto. Most of the people there are local Japanese, and there are not many tourists, which is very happy. However, when you arrive here at noon and have already bought the tickets, you still have to queue for the castle tower! There weren't many cars open when we arrived on 3/29, but now there should be a lot. It's great that there are very few tourists, most of them are Japanese. It's the right place to avoid the crowds! Love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Yanyan has his working hours and will meet everyone here after three o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to take pictures, it is recommended to go to Mengjingcheng Street in the morning and come back around two or three in the afternoon!
