A day trip to Utsunomiya! Seeing Tokugawa Ieyasu's dream at Hinode Toshogu Shrine

Utsunomiya, known as the gyoza capital, is located about a 45-minute Shinkansen ride from Tokyo, and the city is brimming with gyoza restaurants. Besides enjoying the delicious gyoza, a must-see is Toshogu Shrine, where the sun rises. From Utsunomiya, it takes about an hour by JR train to Hinode Station, where you can transfer to a bus to Toshogu-mae (approximately 15 minutes). Toshogu Shrine is located halfway up a mountain, with many steps, making it less suitable for those with weak knees. The adjacent Kamijima Coffee Shop is filled with nostalgia and is bustling with visitors. The grandeur of the main building transports you back to the Warring States period, a poignant yet moving story. 📍Address: Toshogu Shrine #TokyoItinerary
