#AutumnTrip I went to Aonohara Auto Campsite in Kanagawa Prefecture! It was the end of October, but the autumn leaves at the overnight campsite were well underway and it was beautiful🍁 There is an entrance fee and a fee to pitch a tent, but it's a reasonable price. It's very easy to use as it is equipped with a kitchen, washing area, showers and toilets. The river flows gently, so it's easy to play with children. It was a clear, warm autumn day, so we enjoyed autumn camping by going into the water a little and looking for fish🍁 〜〜〜〜 〒252-0161 Midori-ku, Sagamihara-shi, Kanagawa 918-1 Aonohara 〜〜〜〜〜 #AutumnLeafViewing #Camping #ChildrenGoOutings #Glamping

▷ Pleasure Forest Illuminion Located close to Lake Sagami in Kanagawa Prefecture, the theme park Pleasure Forest is home to the famous Illuminion illumination.

When it gets dark, the mountain slopes and attractions are beautifully lit up. There is also a space where you can get snacks, so you can enjoy a whole day by playing during the day, eating at night, and then going to see the illuminations. ▷ Recommended ways to enjoy Take the lift and look down on the illuminations from above! When you ride the lift, you can see the beautiful illuminations from a high place. There is also a Ferris wheel, so it's nice to look down on the sparkling Pleasure Forest from there. #ThemePark #Illumination #Kanagawa #SagamiLake #CoupleTrip #Christmas #ChristmasIllumination #BreathtakingView

I went to see the Sagamiko Light Show, which is known as one of the top three light shows in the Kanto region, and it truly lives up to its reputation. This time, I didn't get to ride the cable car or the Ferris wheel, not because of a lack of time or long queues, but simply because I didn't want to ride them alone. #SagamikoLightShow #LifeInJapan #RomanticLifeRecorder #WeekendGetaway #TopThreeLightShowsInKanto #TopThreeLightShowsInJapan

Having visited Tokyo frequently over the past two years, I've discovered many hidden gems that are both fun and lesser-known. Around Tokyo, there are several places favored by locals that are perfect for couples, families, and day trips. Japan's autumn foliage is particularly stunning, with the leaves reaching a breathtaking climax, painting these hidden spots in vibrant colors. The addition of nighttime light shows makes the illuminated foliage even more spectacular. Often, people ask me about alternatives to Disneyland for family-friendly amusement parks in Tokyo. My usual response was a blank, but this fall, my friend and I discovered a place that's perfect for families and young people alike: Sagamiko Resort! Sagamiko Resort is vast, with multiple areas offering thrilling experiences, day-use hot springs, and family-friendly activities. It provides a magical and romantic escape from urban life. For a half-day visit, try the 'Muscle Monster,' Asia's first large-scale climbing project. The arena, with its three levels and rooftop observation deck, stands impressively on a mountain top. As night falls, the most exciting light show begins. While Japanese people enjoy fireworks in summer, winter is for light shows. Sagamiko Resort's light show is one of the top three in the Kanto region, featuring new highlights each year, encapsulating a year's worth of happiness in its dreamy lights, attracting many visitors. 🚄 Transportation from Tokyo to Sagamiko Resort: Sagamiko is not far from Tokyo. Take the Keio Line from Shinjuku Station to 'Takao Station,' then transfer to the JR line towards 'Kofu,' 'Otsuki,' or 'Kobuchizawa' and get off at 'Sagamiko Station.' From there, take a bus from bus stop number one to 'PleasureForest Station.' The one-way trip takes about an hour and a half. #TokyoTravel #SagamikoResort #JapanLightShow

The Sagamiko Light Show features approximately 6 million LED bulbs, surpassing any other light show in the Kanto region. Besides enjoying the scenery, visitors can also enjoy rides like the carousel, Ferris wheel, bumper cars, and other attractions. Most of these rides allow infants to ride along. 📍Location: Held at Sagamiko Forest Amusement Park in northern Kanagawa. 🚌Transportation: You can reach Sagamiko Forest Amusement Park from Tokyo by public transport or by driving. If you rent a car to explore the countryside, it takes less than 10-20 minutes to drive from the nearby interchange to the amusement park. However, be aware that there is usually traffic on weekends and holidays. The nearest station is JR Chuo Main Line's Saga Station, an 8-minute walk away. There is a direct bus from Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal, with a one-way trip taking about 1 hour and 15 minutes. 🕐Time: Early November to April. Tips: Since Sagamiko Forest Amusement Park is a bit far from major cities, consider staying overnight in a quaint cabin or cottage nearby, some of which have open-air decks and barbecue facilities. You can buy meat and vegetables to grill at the resort's shop. If you plan to stay overnight at the resort, take the opportunity to leisurely enjoy a hot spring bath. There is also a camping tent area available. #ExperienceALightShowInACity #LightShow #NightTourNewLandmark #Kanagawa #Doraemon

Starting from November 3rd and ending in May next year, I was lucky to catch it! The light show begins at 4 PM daily, with adult tickets priced at 1900 yen (subject to change). The park operates until 8 PM. The Doraemon light show is located at the top of the mountain, and they offer a free chairlift for easy access. Route: Take the JR from Shinjuku to Sagamiko Station, then take the Lake 21 bus to the Pleasure Forest stop. It's a 5-minute walk from there. Be sure not to get off at the Sagami Park stop like I did, as I ended up wandering on the opposite side of the lake and had to walk half an hour up a mountain road (though the sunset view from the bridge was quite beautiful). #Doraemon #DoraemonNobitaEarthSymphony #Sagamiko #JapanOffTheBeatenPath

As Christmas approaches, let me introduce you to a light show just an hour's drive from Tokyo - the Sagamiko Light Show.

The whole experience is very romantic, perfect for couples and families! The best part is that you can bring your pets, highly recommended for dog owners! #JapanTravelGuide #TokyoTravelTips #JapanTrip

The Sagamiko Resort Illumination featuring Sumikko Gurashi is a winter event you shouldn't miss this year. The theme is super cute, focusing on the beloved Sumikko Gurashi characters. Last year, the theme was Sailor Moon, and it was so captivating that it left visitors wanting more. To make the most of your visit, it's best not to arrive too late. Although the parking lot is large, if it gets crowded, you might have to walk a bit to reach the entrance. We recommend arriving around 3 PM, especially if you're bringing children. Consider purchasing the play and admission combo ticket, which is 2800 yen for adults and 2200 yen for children. If you only want the admission ticket without the rides, it's 1800 yen. After 4 PM, the cable car is free, and it's a must-ride experience. You can enjoy the rainbow Sumikko Gurashi lights, and the ride is long enough to fully appreciate the view. Inside, there's a Paddington Bear playground perfect for kids, offering great photo opportunities and fun for children of all ages.
