Café Hisohiso is a hidden cafe located a 30-minute walk from Kintetsu Miminari Station. There is an old gate with a rabbit sign. Just past the gate is the cafe. As the name suggests, this cafe is hidden away in nature and serves cute baked goods and desserts. The interior of the cafe is decorated with dried flowers, creating a stylish space. Please be careful when you go as there are few opening days and opening hours. #photogenicspot#driedflowers#cafe#nara

Kashihara, the place where Japan was founded I went to Kashihara Shrine, a shrine with vast grounds that I had only seen in history textbooks I've been to Nara several times, but this was my first visit to Kashihara Shrine It was a vast and magnificent place that I recommend you visit at least once if you come to Nara #WorldHeritage #Nara #HinaMatsuri

This is a large shrine located in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. In fact, its history of construction is relatively recent, dating back to the Meiji Period. However, its origins date back to the distant past, to Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan. A petition from private citizens was filed on the site where Emperor Jimmu's palace is said to have stood, and Emperor Meiji, inspired by this petition, founded the shrine. The extremely large grounds are home to many magnificent buildings, making it a popular tourist spot in Nara. #Shrine #Nara Prefecture

All-you-can-drink alcohol almost all day and a large public bath ♨️Facility Introduction 🛁Room Introduction The rooms are spacious 🍽️Breakfast I don't know because it wasn't included 🛎️Service The only thing I'm worried about is that the lounge and the large public bath will be crowded 💗Thoughts on the stay The kinako dango shop in the photo, which is a short drive from the hotel, was very delicious. It gets very crowded so make sure you go there with plenty of time.

To celebrate Koji Mukai's birthday, I visited AEON Mall Kashihara, which houses the 'Tower Records Koji Mukai Support Store' in his hometown. At Tower Records, many fans left messages celebrating him, creating a warm atmosphere throughout the store. Other shops also displayed goods themed around his member color, orange, making it a fulfilling time for fans. It was my first visit to AEON Mall Kashihara, and I was amazed at how spacious it was, offering a full day of enjoyment. With a variety of shops for shopping and dining, it's a spot that anyone can enjoy.

Imaicho. Not far from Osaka there is a place that, as they say, has not changed since the Edo period - the same houses as in those days, the same streets, the administration monitors and renovates the houses. We decided to combine a trip to the city of Nara with a visit to Imaicho and did not regret it at all. You can do it yourself or find a guide on the Trip.com service. We went on our own: There is a direct train from Nara station to Unebi station, there is a tourist information center where you can get brochures and a map of the places. I recommend visiting these places: 📌Tsuneoka Soy Sauce Brewery 📌Kawai sake brewery 📌Takagi Residence 📌Hanairaka Information Center Entrance to the territory is free. We walked alone, there was no one else there, we spent the best half of the day here that day)#imaicho #osakatrip #naratrip #japan

There has been a significant change in the way people from our country travel. Many who visit Japan no longer focus solely on shopping. There are also many who have been to Japan before and have moved beyond the typical photo-taking tourism, evolving into a more immersive travel experience. I often receive private messages from netizens who are eager to visit lesser-known, off-the-beaten-path places. I would like to share a spot in Nara Prefecture that is seldom visited by foreign tourists and is perfect for those who enjoy leisurely walks and photography: Imai-cho in Nara. Imai-cho began to take shape in 1503 during Japan's Warring States period. It was once an enemy of Oda Nobunaga as part of the Hongan-ji sect. However, persuaded by Akechi Mitsuhide, they surrendered to Oda Nobunaga, which changed their fate from being annihilated. Later, during the Edo period, the area prospered even more through trade with Osaka and Sakai. Today, Imai-cho has been designated as a Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Japan and is also recognized as a Japanese heritage site. Over 500 buildings are protected, and five have been designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. Walking through Imai-cho is like traveling back to the Edo period. Due to the larger area and fewer tourists, strolling and street photography in Imai-cho offer a much better experience than in Kyoto. I recommend my friends to also take a turn around here. 📍Address: Imai-cho, Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture 🚃Transport: Get off at Yagi-nishiguchi Station on the Kintetsu Railway, and it's a 5-minute walk. After crossing the red Sobu Bridge, you will arrive.

Upon arriving in Imai-cho, Kashihara City, Japan, it felt as if I had traveled through time to a street brimming with ancient charm. Imai-cho is a place rich in history and cultural heritage, where every street seems to hold memories spanning hundreds of years. As I stepped into Imai-cho, I was captivated by its unique architectural style and the ancient streetscape. The streets were lined with well-preserved traditional buildings, exuding a strong Japanese ambiance. Strolling along the streets, I kept finding surprises hidden in the corners. What particularly impressed me were the ancient shrines and temples of Imai-cho. I paused in these serene places, feeling the sacred atmosphere they emitted, and took some photos to preserve these unforgettable memories. During this journey, I deeply felt the historical and cultural charm of Imai-cho. I will forever treasure this precious memory and look forward to visiting this place filled with ancient allure once again.

Travel experience sharing: When I stepped into Japan's Kashihara Jingu Shrine, I felt as if I was in a world full of mystery and religious legends. Located in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture, this shrine is an important shrine dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu and one of the oldest shrines in Japan. Walking into Kashihara Jingu Shrine, I was struck by its magnificent torii gate and its time-honored atmosphere. The architecture inside the shrine is elegant and ceremonial, exuding a sacred atmosphere. I walked around the shrine and felt its solemnity and peace. I was particularly impressed by the sacred atmosphere of the shrine and the piety of the worshippers. I took eleven photos inside the shrine, capturing its beauty and religious atmosphere. Each photo is a testimony to this journey and allows me to recall this special moment forever. During this trip, I deeply felt the sacred power and cultural significance of Kashihara Jingu Shrine. I will always treasure these precious memories and look forward to returning to this sacred place. #Kashihara Jingu #Japanese Shrine #Religious Culture

If you are departing from Osaka, go to Tennoji, downstairs of Kintetsu Department Store, depart from Abenobashi Station 🚞, and get off at "Kashihara Jingu-mae". This is also the transfer station 🚉 to Yoshino Mountain to see the cherry blossoms 🌸 in spring. The express train takes 41 minutes to arrive. 🚌 After exiting the station, there are tour buses 🚌 available. There are one-day tour tickets 🎫400, 200 for children, which can be purchased inside the station. 🚌 I started my walk at the "Koboji Temple Ruins". Across from it is the "Tachibana Temple" where Crown Prince Shotoku was born. Then I walked to the "Asuka Ruins". There are some other ruins nearby. 🚶🏻‍♂️ The most important thing is to see the "Asuka Temple". There is also the "Soga no Irukazuka" behind the temple. You can climb the mountain opposite the "Asuka Historical Park" to the observation deck to have a look. 🚶🏻‍♂️ Then head towards the station and you will pass by an emperor's mausoleum. 🚞 There are some restaurants and convenience stores near the station🏪

Kashihara Shrine is located in Kashihara City, Nara Prefecture. Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan, ascended to the throne at Kashihara Palace. Kashihara Shrine was founded in 1890 to enshrine Emperor Jimmu and his empress, Himetataraisuzuhime-no-mikoto. It has an outer worship hall, and behind that are the inner worship hall, offering hall, and main hall! Behind the worship hall is Mount Unebi. You can aim for the peak, and there is a trailhead at the north approach. After passing through the north approach, a 15-minute walk away is the tomb of Emperor Jimmu.

Guesthouse House Arigamama A guesthouse-like building in the middle of nature. There is an interesting host. Probably the cheapest in Kashihara. It's far from the station, but it's easy to get to the main tourist spots. I was also grateful that breakfast was included. #AccommodationReview
