It is an island that can be crossed by a bridge. When you arrive at the island, go up the stairs and you will find a shrine. If you draw a fortune slip (100 yen) there and get a great fortune, you will receive a small souvenir! If you go down to the coast from the shrine, you can go around the island halfway back to the bridge, and enjoy a little adventure⛩️ However, the stairs are quite steep, so it may be difficult for those who are not good at walking. There are many wild birds such as black kites around the island, and some people go bird watching. It is beautiful during the day, and it is also nice to visit at sunrise or sunset, and you can feel nostalgic🌆 It is a recommended spot that you will not get bored even if you stay for 1-2 hours! #Takeshima #Gamagori

I love classic hotels, so I went to the chic and calming cafe of Gamagori Classic Hotel. I have a small child and can't sit still, so I was very grateful to be guided to the terrace seating. I wanted to eat cake, but it was sold out in the afternoon, so I ordered French toast and a drink. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was soaked in and it was very delicious ☺️ My child also enjoyed it. From the terrace seating, you can see Takeshima and the sea well, which was very beautiful. They also rented blankets, so you don't have to worry even on chilly days. Although it was only a short time, I'm glad I was able to spend a relaxing time at the classic hotel. #breathtakingview #gourmet #coupletrip #japan #classichotel #gamagori #aichi #cafe

#tripmemory2022 Hotel Tatsuki The Showa-era hotel The view is great with the sea in front. The view of the sunset was spectacular. The futon was laid out in the room from the beginning, and the bath in the room was the type that had separate faucets for hot and cold water. The toilet drainage lever was broken, so there was a notice on the wall (✘ᗜ✘ 💦) I was surprised that there was only one roll of toilet paper left 🚽 There was no meat with the meal, so I wasn't full... For dessert, there was a whole Gamagori mandarin orange 🍊 huh? It felt like a shortcut... I was able to have more rice for breakfast, so I was satisfied with the amount, but the pickled takuan? The radish was so thin that you could see through it, and I was surprised at how thin it was that I wondered how they could cut it 💦 It felt like a saving money The waiter at the meal was nice. The bath was spacious and nice, but the floor was slippery so I was a bit scared, but the view from the open-air bath was nice ♨️ I liked that you could choose the pattern of the yukata 👘 Lotion, milky lotion, comb, and cotton swabs were provided.

I went to Takeshima, located in Gamagori city, Aichi prefecture. It is a small island that sits alone in Mikawa Bay. Although it is a small island, it is home to many different kinds of plants, and is a rare island that is a natural monument in itself. The shrine on the island is said to be dedicated to the gods of good fortune and matchmaking.

It's about an hour by train from Nagoya. Nishiura Onsen in Nishiura Town is wonderful, so I'd like to introduce it to you. Located along Mikawa Bay, Nishiura Onsen has beautiful scenery and high-quality natural hot springs. You can also enjoy fresh seafood. It's a hidden hot spring spot, so it's not crowded and you can relax in peace and quiet. This time, I stayed at a hot spring inn called Hotel Tatsuki, and it was great. #HotSpring #NishiuraOnsen #AichiTourism #GourmetTrip #ValueForMoneyHotel

This time I stayed at Bay Court Laguna, the luxury hotel of the XIV group located in Gamagori, Aichi Prefecture. This hotel is a members-only hotel, so you can't even enter unless you're a member or have an introduction from a member.

Aichi people have their clothes ready and are just waiting for the day when the flowers bloom. Hydrangea Garden at Katahara Onsen (形原温泉 あじさいの里) Most beautiful around mid-late June Japan Travel

As befitting a Laguna, the sea creatures were illuminated, making it seem like a fantasy world. We took a boat ride for the attraction and went around the clownfish forest. It was a shame that the flower illuminations from a few years ago were gone. The standard illuminations and the illuminations using a projector were also great. There was so much to do that you could spend the whole day there. There was a shopping mall (smaller in scale) in the adjacent facility, and you could see the seaside from the Ferris wheel, which was really fun. Personally, I thought the Magical Powder attraction was amazing because it was so well made 🐭 Also, the 3D Aquarium attraction was fun because the pictures I drew swam in it ✏️ #nagoya #nagoyatrip #nagoyajapan # #photooftheday japanstyle#japantravel #japantrip #japantravelphoto #fun #mylife #japanstyle #japon #thetraveltag #hashtag #happy#photoshoot #pose #happy #laguna #lagunatenbosch #nagoya#nagoyasightseeing #nagoyatrip #day1ofnagoyatrip #foodtripcallednagoyatrip #nagoyamorning #nagoyatrip✈️ #day2ofnagoyatrip

We decided to travel from Nagoya to spend the day at Lagunasia. Lagunasia is an amusement park In Gamagori, Aichi prefecture, Japan, that features thrilling rides and entertainment shows that are great for kids and adults. In Dec month the 1st show was the La Luz which are domed-shape nested in the big pool Jioia Mare. Well illuminated, complemented by the beautiful underwater illumination which made a good combination. It is worth a visit it. #givethanks #travelinspiration #couplestrip #deliciousfood #newyearstrip #scenicspotguide #givethanks

#Overseas travel #Nagoya travel #Nagoya suburb travel Where can I find a good hot spring? Kinpasoo Onsen is a place where you can enjoy a hot spring while looking at the wide open view of the ocean. There is also a hotel, and the 9th floor hot spring is a private hot spring, so you can make a reservation and use it privately for 50 minutes. The three of us used it for 5,500 yen It would be cheaper if you use it alone. It was my first time in an outdoor hot spring with an ocean view, and it was really nice. Highly recommended^^

I visited Mingshan Villa on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The weather was great, but it was windy and cold. There is a small hill on the right hand side when you come out of the hotel. There is also a statue of a general on it, and he seems to be a local. Then walk down the hill, turn right and pass through a bamboo forest. There is a shrine that is perfect for visiting on the first day of the new year. There was an administrator who was picking up branches. He saw us from a distance and greeted us 🙋‍♂️. After a walk around, I found two temples, which turned out to be one approach to the temple and two shrines⛩️. Head to the beach. Gamagori

The tatami room is popular and was full on the day. There is a garden at the back, where there is also a veranda. Recommended here!! "All Shiratama Topping" In addition to matcha, you can enjoy the taste of roasted green tea, red bean paste, and soybean flour. The glass on the top left is filled with soybean flour, and when you turn it upside down, it looks like Mount Fuji made of soybean flour... The shiratama has a chewy texture. It's great for girls to be able to enjoy a variety of flavors. They also have smoothies and soft serve ice cream🍦, and something called "extra matcha"... I recommend three cups!! It's a great deal for matcha lovers. #Aichi #Gamagori #Mitani #Old-style-house-cafe #Cafe #Matcha #Uji-matcha #0-yen-travelFebruary-2025
