"Happy Pancake" (幸せのパンケーキ) is a well-known pancake brand in Japan. Its branch on Awaji Island, Awajishima Terrace, opened in July 2019 and is known as one of the most beautiful branches in Japan.  This restaurant is located right by the Seto Inland Sea and offers a great view of the sea. The store’s interior design makes full use of the vast space and features a number of photo spots, such as the “Stairway to Happiness,” a stairway that seems to lead to the sky, with the sea and blue sky as the background, making the photos taken there dreamy and romantic. In addition, there are installation arts such as a giant swing facing the sea and a large white clock full of Mediterranean style, allowing tourists to take photos while enjoying delicious food.  Happy Pancakes are famous for their soft and dense taste. They are made with carefully selected high-quality ingredients such as fresh eggs and fresh milk from Hokkaido, and insist on not adding baking powder. They are made to order, allowing customers to enjoy the purest deliciousness. Here, you can enjoy delicious pancakes while admiring the magnificent view of the Seto Inland Sea, especially at dusk, when the sunset and the sea view interweave to create an unparalleled romantic atmosphere.  It is worth mentioning that the outdoor area of ​​Awaji Island Resort is known as the "First Row of Sea View". A whole row of parasols and wooden tables and chairs allow you to feel the comfort of a vacation while dining.  All in all, Awaji Island's Happy Pancakes not only offer delicious meals, but also combine beautiful natural scenery with carefully designed photo spots, making it a must-see when you visit Awaji Island.

📍Awajishima Iwaya Coffee The quaint signboard gives off a nostalgic vibe, and blends in with the retro atmosphere of the port town.

It has now become a thriving shop bustling with locals and tourists. The surrounding area is a traditional shopping street, and in recent years the nostalgic atmosphere has made it a popular spot with tourists.

Awaji Island is located to the east of the Seto Inland Sea. It is one of the islands I would highly recommend to those who want to experience beautiful sunsets and art. The recommended route is to drive from Naruto City to the Otsuka Museum of Art and Senjojiki, enjoy the beautiful sea and art, and then drive to the Awaji Island Sunset Line to see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. The Awaji Island Sunset Line has parking lots dotted along the way, so you can get off the car at your favorite spot and watch the sunset. My favorite is Ezaki Park! I was able to see a view that looked like something out of a Ghibli movie☺️ #DomesticTravelRecord #AwajiIsland #AwajiIslandSunsetLine #OtsukaMuseumofArt #AkashiKaikyoBridge #JapanTrip #AwajiIslandTourism

#DomesticTravelRecord I crossed the bridge connecting Hyogo Prefecture and Tokushima Prefecture and enjoyed a whirlwind island trip♪ First, I drove from Honshu to Awajishima across the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. While enjoying the blue sky and sea from the car window, I crossed the Naruto Kaikyo Bridge and landed in Tokushima Prefecture! I immediately went to the confectionery workshop "French Monster Setouchi Food Art". It opened in 2020 and offers cute cakes and drinks that look great. And above all, the location is the best! The shop is located at a scenic point at the top of Shimada Island, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, so you can enjoy the view of the sea and mountains from the inside and terrace. 📍Location: 9 Nakashimada Higashiyama, Seto-cho, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture The next place I went to was "Live Fish Cuisine Bimbiya", where there is a long line at lunchtime. Wow! It's a long line as expected. I don't know about weekdays, but it seems that you have to line up on weekends. There were a lot of big fish, including sea bream, swimming in the fish tank in front of the restaurant. I had the flatfish sashimi set meal. It was delicious with plenty of fin. 📍Location: 20-2 Awata Hashikadani, Kitanada-cho, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture After filling my stomach, I made a U-turn to Awaji Island. I headed to Myojin Cape, which I wanted to visit before the sun went down. This place is said to be a hidden power spot on Awaji Island, and there is an observation deck where you can get a panoramic view of the magnificent ocean. Especially at dusk, you can see the beautiful orange and pink sunset that has been selected as one of the 100 best sunsets in Japan. I had this view all to myself from the observation deck! It was really amazing♪ 📍Location: Myojin, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture Then, on the way back to Honshu, I stopped by the cafe "Lazy Inn." and enjoyed some delicious sweets♪ The sunset from the second floor of the shop was also attractive! It's also nice to enjoy Awaji beer! 📍Location: 2623-3 Ei, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture From start to finish, it was a relaxing island trip with a spectacular location♡ #Awajishima #Tokushima #IslandTrip

📍Sushi Yume All the sushi was so good that I visited for the second time! The Densuke Anago is the best. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also very calm and nice. 【INFORMATION】 Sushi Yume 📮261 Yamazoe, Minami Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture, 656-0121 🕐17:30-22:00 🗓️Closed on Tuesdays #0 Yen Travel Autumn
