Hitoyoshi: The Land of Ayu and Natsume's Book of Friends
In Hitoyoshi, there is a unique Japanese inn called Ayu no Sato, which is conveniently located near the fireworks display site, offering visitors a unique viewing experience. When the fireworks bloom, others are still outside, braving the crowds, holding small stools, and looking for the best viewing spot, while we, staying at this inn, can leisurely stay in the hotel lobby and enjoy the colorful fireworks feast. If you are lucky enough to book a river view room, it is like having an exclusive fireworks viewing box, sitting in the room, through the window, colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky, reflecting on the sparkling river, like a dream. However, it should be noted that river view rooms are extremely popular on the day of the fireworks festival, and you must book well in advance to seize this rare opportunity. Another important purpose of this trip to Hitoyoshi is to check in at Natsume-related locations. Before departure, I was full of expectations to collect 6 stamps to get the special offer, but unfortunately, the day before arriving in Hitoyoshi, I received an app reminder that the special offer was gone, which somewhat reduced the motivation to check in. In terms of travel, renting a bicycle is a good choice. It is highly recommended to rent an electric bicycle, as the check-in points in Hitoyoshi are widely distributed, and relying entirely on ordinary bicycles to get there consumes a lot of physical strength, especially in hot weather, electric bicycles can save you a lot of effort. Even so, relying on bicycles can only go to 7 check-in points at most, and the other check-in points are really far away, and it is really unbearable to ride in the hot weather. Cycling on the country roads is the most pleasant time of this trip. The breeze blows gently, the flowers and plants on the roadside sway with the wind, and the distant mountains are undulating, forming a beautiful pastoral picture. Every time you reach a check-in point, that familiar feeling will come to your heart. The scenes I once saw in the animation appear in front of me, as if Takashi Natsume, Nyanko-sensei, and those warm characters really live on this land, and this wonderful feeling of animation coming into reality is intoxicating. Hitoyoshi, this charming small town, not only has the comfort and convenience brought by the Ayu no Sato Japanese inn, but also the feelings and emotions of the Natsume's Book of Friends check-in tour, as well as the beautiful natural scenery along the way, every place is worth savoring, making people reluctant to leave.ExpeditionEnthusiast#103Staying at Suiranro in Hitoyoshi Onsen, Kumamoto Prefecture (November 2023)
In July 2020, the heavy rains caused the Kuma River in Kumamoto Prefecture to flood. This was a devastating disaster. Suiranro also suffered devastating damage, but was rebuilt and reopened in February 2023. This is the inn where Hitoyoshi Onsen originated. The "Mikage no Yu" hot spring, which continues to flow from the source no matter what disaster it faces, is a high-quality hot spring. Go Kumamoto.

#Spring0yentrip Wildflowers along the approach to a shrine quietly nestled in the mountains Reminiscing about my childhood with tears in my eyes_TI***v7[Japan🇯🇵] Hitoyoshi Ryokan Nabeya
#Spring0yenTrip I stayed at Nabeya in Hitoyoshi Onsen and had a truly satisfying time. After recovering from the heavy rain disaster in 2020, the new building has become a modern and sophisticated space, and the rooms overlooking the Kuma River were spacious and clean. In particular, the dinner of innovative cuisine using local ingredients was impressive, with its original ideas and careful cooking. In addition, the hot spring water is thick and flows directly from the source, and bathing while watching the flow of the Kuma River was a blissful moment. The warm hospitality of the staff was also impressive, and the greetings from the proprietress and chef were also memorable. Nabeya, where you can experience the nature and history of Hitoyoshi with all five senses, is a wonderful inn that makes you want to visit again.  TmakiCentennial Restaurant & Registered Cultural Property | Hitoyoshi Yoshino Ryokan
| Hitoyoshi Yoshino Ryokan. Hitoyoshi is a wonderful place (even though I haven't seen Natsume's Book of Friends). Situated by the Kuma River, it's a place of outstanding natural beauty and talented individuals. Unfortunately, it's also prone to flooding when the Kuma River rises. As mentioned in previous notes about Hitoyoshi Ryokan, the 2020 flood destroyed many hot spring hotels. Yoshino Ryokan was also reborn after more than two years of reconstruction. 📷Architecture & History Yoshino Ryokan was established in 1909 (Meiji 42) and has a history of over 100 years. It was originally founded as a restaurant, Yoshimoto Honten. Therefore, many elements, including the architecture and service, still retain traces of a traditional restaurant. There are 15 rooms in total, each with its own unique decor. We stayed in the Matsu-no-ma room, which was incredibly spacious for two people. It was a Japanese-Western style room with my favorite feature, an *engawa* (veranda) filled with a sense of the era. If you can book it, I highly recommend the Tsuru-no-ma room, which preserves the characteristics from 100 years ago. I also really like the large hallway at the entrance and the various tea rooms, which have a distinct Taisho-era atmosphere. Hot Springs The spring quality is sodium chloride bicarbonate spring. It's 100% natural hot spring water and slightly soft, leaving your skin feeling very hydrated after soaking. In addition to the large public bath, there are four private baths. Yamasemi is probably the richest among them. The other three private baths seem to have been renovated later and are very new, offering pleasant garden views. 🍙Cuisine As expected from a place that started as a restaurant, the food, while not particularly luxurious, is delicious, especially the *dashi* (broth), which is extremely flavorful. This meal alone is worth a repeat visit. 📍 180 Kamiaoi-machi, Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture I've recommended Hitoyoshi's *unagi* (eel) rice before; it's very tasty. Besides the most famous Kamimura, Shiraishi next door is also good. There are also various *sento* (public baths) ♨️ to explore. There are quite a few hot springs that may look run-down but will surprise you with their amazing water quality.WanderlustAdventures$555Visit Hitoyoshi in 1 day
#triptravelchina #hitoyoshitravel #japantravel 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered. Take you to visit the small town of Hitoyoshi in Kumamoto. This town is located south of Kumamoto, about 80 kilometers away. Because there was a major earthquake, people moved out, causing the town to be quite quiet. We arrived at the train station🚂 The highlight here is the clock tower, which tells the time like a samurai performance. This town has a long history, related to the Sagara family, and is a pilgrimage route for the Goddesses of Mercy or 33 Bodhisattvas Avalokiteshvara, consisting of places of worship in the Hitoyoshi Kuma region. All the statues are carved from wood, some are lacquered and gilded, carved into various postures, very beautiful.เที่ยวแบบทัย1Kumamoto # hitoyoshi #Kirishima Shrine #
Kumamoto 43 and 40 are quite close to each other, right 😅. Kumamoto has a beautiful sea and poetic Aso mountain. Autumn is the most suitable season to go because there is a long grass field where you can camp, what could be better. Winter is also beautiful in its own way.Nhiy1If you want to stay in a calm place, this is the place!
Location: Ryokan Suiranro Address: 2461-1 Onsencho, Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture Access: About 10 minutes by car from Hitoyoshi IC or Hitoyoshi Station Since this is a ryokan in the birthplace of Hitoyoshi Onsen, you might think it's clean, but everything was even cleaner than you'd imagine. The rooms are spacious and the view outside is elegant, so it's recommended for those who want to relax in a quiet place. The welcome drink was a yuzu drink that was so delicious you'll want to drink it over and over again. You can also rent an iPhone charger for free at the front desk, so you can rent one if you forget. #HongKongFreeAirTicket #Suiranro #RyokanかんざきJapanese home cooking Dokoro
#HongKongFlightEvent If you come to Kamakura, you must eat here!!! You can have a home-cooked meal while looking at the beautiful train tracks! It's a neat and cute space in a very pretty town. The rice was very delicious, and the grilled fish and small side dishes were all delicious!! I think I could have tried other types of fish. I ordered the grilled sea bream set and ate it all upㅎㅎ It's not salty and the seasoning is just right! I didn't order eggs, but everyone made meringue and ate it with rice~ I'm going to try it next timeㅎㅎ Above all, I loved seeing the Eden train passing by! There was a long wait, but I was lucky because I was traveling alone and got a seat right away and was able to eat first! The window seat had a train view~~ It was so nice!! If I had to wait, it was worth itㅎㅎ Stop by!! #JapanTravel #Japan #YoriDokoro조이져니1Aoi Aso Shrine, a National Treasure
Locally known as 'Aoi-san,' this shrine is characterized by its thatched roof. Reading the evaluation points of the designated national treasure, it was highly praised for its originality and high level of completion, reflecting the design of the Momoyama period. It also influenced other shrines with its unique sculptural techniques and distinctive worship hall style. Indeed, it was an architectural marvel. All the auxiliary shrines are related to the history of Hitoyoshi, so please make sure to visit. It is an essential spot for sightseeing in Hitoyoshi. 【Name】Aoi Aso Shrine 【Location】118 Kamiaoimachi, Hitoyoshi City, Kumamoto Prefecture 【Access】 About 5 minutes on foot from JR Hitoyoshi Station About 10 minutes by car from Hitoyoshi IC 【Parking】Available (free) Visit Date: November 2023ぷりんちゃんSagara Gokoku Shrine, surrounded by nature

This is a Soto Zen temple famous for a hanging scroll of a ghost, said to have been painted by the monk Jitsudoko, who founded the temple about 600 years ago. You can watch an explanatory video about the temple, and the hanging scroll of the ghost that can be seen at any time is said to be a replica.

Overwhelming! A must-visit thatched roof shrine designated as a national treasure
This is a historic shrine that was founded 1200 years ago. We were overwhelmed by the thatched tower gate that greeted us as we crossed the red bridge over the lotus pond. The worship hall also has a thatched roof. The three deities enshrined here are Takeiwatatsuno-mikoto, Asotsuhime-no-mikoto, and Kuninomiyatsukohayamikatama-no-mikoto.

You can eat fluffy and delicious eel, so you can feel that you are eating something good. This time I ordered a large unaju, which was just the right amount for me. There is eel on top, but I was impressed that there is eel inside. I went on a weekday this time and it was empty, but it seems that there are more customers on normal days, so I recommend going early. #Sakura2024 #KumamotoかんざきLast chance to ride a steam train in Japan
#2024Travel wish Knowing that the Japanese steam train Hitoyoshi would be decommissioned in March 2024, I took advantage of the last opportunity. Originally, there was a Kyushu JR Pass that allowed you to ride at the same price as the express pass, but because the seats were so popular, I bought the ticket directly. The moment the train arrived at the station, everyone ran to take a picture of the truck where the employees were loading coal. The 101-year-old Renji will also operate overtime on weekdays until March. Everyone should seize the last opportunity and book tickets one month in advance.

Aoi Aso Shrine is a national treasure. Locals affectionately call it "Aoi-san." My favorite energy spot is the sacred camphor tree in the back and the area where Amaterasu Omikami is enshrined. There is also a dragon god on the left side of the main hall. It is a rare dragon god from ancient times called Tenanami. I also recommend the nearby soba restaurant "Kai" for its delicious noodles! #nationaltreasure #aoiasoshrine #shrine #dragongodsakison
