"Akasaka Izumi" According to the "Akasaka Kyu-ki," Akasaka Izumi is an ancient spring, which was first cultivated in 1781 in search of a spring.

📍Bake & Cafe Mogura, Ehime Prefecture The interior of the shop is gray and antique-style, and it looks as if decades have passed since then. The handrails on the stairs look quite old, and the retro atmosphere is like something out of a fairy tale, and it's enchanting. A welcome drink is prepared near the entrance of the shop, and you take a glass and move to your seat. You'll feel like a European lady. It feels special, doesn't it? Bake & Cafe Mogura's lunch menu consists of two types, "rice lunch" and "bread lunch", each of which costs 1,480 yen. This is a recommended restaurant for dates and stylish girls' nights! #0 yen trip January 2025

#HotelAccommodationEvent If transportation costs are included, it would go up to 1,500 yen, but even considering that, I was satisfied because the zoo was so well organized. There were animals that are not commonly seen, such as otters, pandas, and servals, and there were also many reptiles. And above all, each animal was well managed.

#2024wish I went on Sunday. There were a lot of people and it was very lively, and what surprised me most was the cheap entrance fee. If it's nearby, it's a zoo you'll want to visit as often as you like with your kids. The grounds are very large and you can see many famous animals. The children were very excited to see animals that can't be seen at other zoos, such as cassowaries, kangaroos, and emus. Some of the feeding experiences were limited in number and location, and some were offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so we couldn't do anything with them, but we enjoyed just watching them. Feeding the hippos is especially impressive, and I think it's worth the effort to get a numbered ticket. Also, be sure to watch the orangutan walk on a tightrope. Children will love it.

Store name: Tobe-yaki Pottery Museum Address: 83 Miyauchi, Tobe-cho, Iyo-gun, Ehime Business hours: 9:00AM-5:00PM (Closed on Wednesdays) \\Points// Tobe-yaki is pottery made mainly in Tobe City, Ehime Prefecture. It has a long history, dating back to the mid-Edo period. It is also designated as a traditional craft. There are many cute white, round-shaped vessels, and each kiln has a slightly different style. This place is highly recommended because you can choose from works by various kilns. There is also an experience corner on the second floor, where you can experience hand-twisting and painting. Prices are relatively reasonable, and even tea bowls can be purchased for around 1,200 yen. I think it would make a great gift. #Domestic travel#Tobe-yaki #Tobe-yaki Pottery Museum #Ehime trip #Pottery tour #Tobe #Couple trip #Family trip
