Patisserie Mon Plaisir Takasaka Main Branch It's located in Saitama Prefecture, and it's not too sweet, it's cute, it's stylish, and when I go to buy it as a gift, I always buy one for myself too! That's how delicious it is. There's also a Yamaya nearby, so I end up buying some wine too 😅#gourmettrip #gourmet

Handmade Soba Mitsuno I stopped by this restaurant for lunch, hoping to try Higashimatsuyama gourmet food. This udon and soba restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from Higashimatsuyama Station. The address is 2-2-36 Honmachi, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture During busy times, you will have to wait outside or wait a while after ordering. I recommend visiting when you have plenty of time, as they have a seasonal menu that is very satisfying. You can also order a side dish with soba noodles. There are some tasteful items, such as furniture, so I was able to spend a relaxing time. #summertrip#gourmettrip

Located at Hiroshima, Japan. After seeing the near commercialism of Hiroshima this was so well done in showing the real effect on the community and the recovery from such dire event. Factual and to the point, shows the true horror and total destruction that an atomic bomb produces. If you have not been to this, you should feel duty bound to visit if in the area. Well worth a visit to understand history a lot better. The horrors of war is terrifying and should act as a good warning to us. #givethanks #givethanks

Cherry blossom season is here! It's the perfect time to visit Kaminuma Park. Enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossoms in Kaminuma Park with this guide. 🌸 Cherry Blossom Viewing • Night Cherry Blossom Viewing: During the cherry blossom season, the "Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, and the cherry blossoms are lit up at night. The illuminated cherry blossoms and their reflection on the water are truly spectacular. • Flower Raft Viewing: The cherry blossom petals dance in the wind and fall on the water to form "flower rafts", which is very romantic. • Surroundings: The surroundings of the park are quiet, making it perfect for enjoying the cherry blossoms while taking a leisurely stroll. It's different from the crowds at Ueno Park in Tokyo. 🌸 Cherry Blossom Festival Period The Cherry Blossom Festival at Kaminuma Park is usually held from late March to early April every year. The specific dates vary depending on the cherry blossom blooming situation of the year, so we recommend checking the official website of Higashimatsuyama City and related SNS for the latest information. 🌸Transportation • Public transport: Take the Tobu Tojo Line to Higashimatsuyama Station, then walk for about 15 minutes to Kaminuma Park. • Car: There are parking lots around the park, but it may be crowded during cherry blossom season. 💡Tips for enjoying cherry blossoms • Avoid crowds: If you want to enjoy the cherry blossoms quietly, we recommend visiting on weekdays or early in the morning. • Participate in the cherry blossom festival: During the cherry blossom season, various events such as cherry blossom festivals and photo exhibitions are held. Check the event schedule in advance to enrich your cherry blossom trip. 📸Photography advice • Best shooting spot: The reflection of the cherry blossoms on the banks of the swamp is a feature of Kaminuma Park. We recommend using a wide-angle lens to capture the full view of the cherry blossoms and the water surface. • Night view shooting: When lit up at night, you can use a slow shutter to capture the flow of light of the cherry blossoms. 🙋Check out the new information for travel guides for the cherry blossom season in Japan, as well as the cost of independent trips and private tours. #Saitama Prefecture #Cherry Blossom Festival #Japan Travel

Reservations are required (same-day reservations are also OK) I walked in without knowing, but there was a seat available, so I was able to eat there. The staff were extremely friendly. I chose from three lunch menu items and paid first. I chose from keema curry, doria, and salad bread, and chose a drink and dessert for 1,980 yen including tax. The salad bread was beautifully colored and had focaccia on the bottom. The dressing was so delicious that I asked the staff and they told me it was a dressing with grated onion. I'd like to try it at home. The view from the window. It's the best. The staff's service, the deliciousness, the view, and the flowers make this a great cafe. Please be sure to visit. You can go out to the garden from inside the store. It also has an atelier that holds flower shops, select shops, and workshops. A spring market will also be held in the garden of Garden & Cafe Planas. There were a variety of stylish flowers, so I bought a potted plant. When the cherry blossom season comes, the cherry trees behind the building are in full bloom, and the view is even more beautiful. #Spring 0 yen trip #Saitama #Higashimatsuyama #Cafe #Garden terrace #Lunch #Reservation required #Cherry blossoms

Yakyu Inari Shrine in Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 A shrine founded in 712 (5th year of Wadou). The peony garden began in 1923 (12th year of Taisho) when the first president of Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. donated peonies, wisteria, and pine trees to celebrate the completion of the extension of the Tobu Tojo Line between Sakado and Higashimatsuyama. The spacious garden of about 3,500 m2 is home to about 1,300 peonies and a magnificent wisteria trellis. The beautiful scenery can be seen from mid-April, and it is not only a place of relaxation for locals, but also attracts many photographers. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈ •• ✼ ꕥShrine name: Yakyu Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-5-14 Yakyu-cho, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚉Higashimatsuyama Station → approx. 6 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Yakyu Inari Shrine #Wisteria #Shrine tour #Shrine

#Sakura2024 Orimotoyama Park is a park full of natural beauty where you can enjoy the stunning view of cherry blossoms in full bloom. Walking through the park, you can see birds singing, flowers blooming, and people admiring cherry blossoms everywhere. The atmosphere is lively and peaceful. The most amazing thing is the Meilin area with a stream flowing through it. The banks of the stream are lined with blooming cherry trees, which complement the clear stream and create a picturesque natural landscape. I wandered here for a long time, immersing myself in the peaceful embrace of nature, which was like the supreme visual feast in life.

#2024wish It's so much fun! Before going there, I was expecting it to be pretty small and to get around in about 2 hours at a stretch but it's huge. You could just enjoying walking around the place but there are loads of things to do. The admission price is cheap and the animals seem happy and well looked after. As well as the animals there are other things to do like the adventure playground, shops and some really good food vans as well. I am going to recommend it to everyone! In 2024, I want to visit this place again.

Yakyu Inari Shrine in Higashimatsuyama City. Nootbaa became famous during the WBC. His mother is from Higashimatsuyama City, so Yakyu Inari Shrine has also become popular along with Nootbaa.😉 From the name Yakyu (arrow bow), the shrine has a connection to baseball⚾️, and there are votive plaques and charms in the shape of bats and home bases available.✨ Especially at this time of year, the wisteria flowers are in full bloom, and I was surprised that they were the most fragrant I've ever seen.😳 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Founded in 712 (Wado 5). During the Heian period, Taira Tadatsune, the lord of a castle in Shimousa Province, rebelled and Minamoto no Yorinobu of Kai Province was sent to suppress the rebellion. At that time, while praying for victory at Noku Inari Shrine, he witnessed an arrow-shaped cloud flying towards the enemy camp. Believing this to be a divine blessing, Yorinobu attacked the enemy camp and took control. After reporting his victory, the shrine was rebuilt and its name changed to "Yariyumi Inari." ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Yakyu Inari Shrine ꕥAddress: 2-5-14 Yakyu-cho, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚃Higashimatsuyama Station → 4 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Yakyu Inari Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour #Saitama Tourism #Saitama Trip
