Mie Prefecture 🌸Inabe City Agricultural Park🌸 If you are a lover of spectacular views, you may have seen this view in a book about spectacular views. The plum blossoms at Inabe City Agricultural Park are a spectacular collaboration with the Suzuka Mountains. When I imagined the view in the book, I was honestly a little disappointed that it seemed edited, but it was still beautiful✨✨✨✨ However, when I went there, the single mountain road on the way there was a huge traffic jam. #famousflowers #spectacularview #Mie Prefecture #spectacularview

🏖️Overview: Mt. Fujiwara is a 1,140-meter-high mountain that straddles Mie and Shiga prefectures, and is counted as one of the Suzuka Seven Mountains⛰️. It is also known as one of the 100 famous flower mountains🌼, and you can enjoy flowers throughout the year. There are many climbers, and there is an unmanned mountain lodge🏘️ at the 9th station, which is a great place to eat and take a break. From the summit, you can see a 360-degree panoramic👀 view of the Nobi Plain, Ise Bay, and Lake Biwa. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: We parked our car🅿️ at a nearby tourist parking lot, but it was almost full, probably because it was popular. On the way there, we climbed the Shohoji trail, but it was a series of steep climbs, and we were tired because we climbed to the lodge without taking a break😮💨. We had lunch there🌭. Around the lodge, it was like an adult field trip, and it was quite crowded with people. After that, we went to the summit. Wow, it's amazing 😍 The view is actually great 👍 360°❗️ I usually just take photos 🤳 when I get to the summit, but this time I took a rare photo using my smartphone 📱 video 📹 mode. I really recommend this place‼ ️ On the way back down, I took the easy Ogaido Trail. 📍Location: Fujiwara-cho, Inabe City 📍Access to trailhead: 🚃 550m from Nishi-Fujiwara Station on the Sangi Railway Sangi Line 🚙 11.1km from Taian IC on the Tokai Loop Expressway 21.4km from Kuwana IC on the Tomei-Han Expressway 24.3km from Sekigahara IC on the Meishin Expressway Parking🅿️: Ogaido trailhead parking lot: approx. 40 cars.

It is a small but cute shrine located in Inabe City, Mie Prefecture. There are two types of monthly goshuin that change every month, and there is also a special goshuin for each month. The goshuin has flowers and animals related to the month written on a colored background, and the name of the shrine is written in a very nice font. There is also a stand for taking photos of the goshuin, and each month is decorated with a decoration that suits that month, which is really cute. Also, every time I go, I wonder what kind of flowers and decorations they will have, as they change every month. I'm always excited. In spring, there are lots of cherry blossom decorations, in May, there are lots of carp streamers, and in summer, wind chimes are decorated. It's a shrine, but it's a fun place to go. On weekends, a food truck comes, so you can enjoy a meal while praying and getting your goshuin written.

I think it's a stylish restaurant with a great atmosphere☺︎ They're open both during the day and at night, and although I had lunch there, I'd love to go there at night too! You can choose from curry and set meals for lunch!!! They had a wide selection of food and drinks!!! There was a wait time, but you can wait in your car by filling out the form at the entrance and they'll let you know. The interior and toilets were very stylish and nice✴︎ They also sold locally grown vegetables inside the restaurant!! I'd love to go again😊 #MiePrefecture #KamigiShokudo #StylishLunch #Inabe

One day when we look back at the pictures we will see what our youth has been through, what places we have gone to, who will dare to let us hold on to our dreams again, giving us reason to continue on.

After a long time, the trips to discover new places and new experiences will be found, so that we can see that our lives still have many interesting things, from which we will appreciate this life more and always try.

If you want to go somewhere, you should plan carefully. It will make our trip more meaningful and memorable. I want the next relay trip to have my whole family, so I am planning this trip.
