A lovely city that takes dumplings as a tourist selling point | Utsunomiya Miyazaki fried dumplings [Qingyuan] Address: 1-23, Izumi-cho, Utsunomiya, Izumi-cho, Higashi-machi, 1F Opening hours: 10

Nikko Moriyama Shrine is a shrine standing in the mountain of Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The official name is the second mountain shrine (). However, in order to communicate with the second idyllic mountain community in Utsunomiya City, the name of the place is often added, which is called "Nikko Ekiyama Shrine". This shrine was founded in the first year of the Shenhuo Jingyun (767). The style of the shrine's architectural structure is the right-made style of stone-based wooden structure. The main worship of the gods is the three mountain gods of Nikko: Dajigui, Tianxinji, and Miyoshi Gaoyan, collectively known as the Great God of the Second Mountain (the sacred god was given to the "Five Five" in 836, and in 869 Was given to the "two ranks" of God.) Because the shrine is adjacent to the Toshogu Shrine, and is also located in the foothills of Nikko Lianshan, according to the "local slogan" derived from the fusion of Japanese Shintoism and Buddhism, the mountain god of the Mt. "Everything is expensive," also stands for "Avalokitesvara"; the mountain god of Fungfeng Mountain is "Tian Xin Ji Ming", which also stands for "Amitabha"; the mountain god of Taro Mountain is "Miso Yanhiko" and also stands for "Ma Tau" Guanyin." The routine ceremony day is April 17th of each year, and it is also the day of the Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is said that the entire Utsunomiya is built around the Wakayama Shrine. The shrine is the city center. The shrine is free, but if you want to go in, you have to climb a long staircase. In Japan, the shrine stairs should go on both sides. It is said that the middle is for the gods.

Otani Museum, this is a name that sounds a bit boring. But he is very popular in Japan, and movies, popular band MVs, small concerts, high-end press conferences for international brands, etc., will choose here. This is actually a magical unnatural cave. This was originally a quarry. Since 1919, local people have discovered from a hole that the stone is rich in resources and good in texture. It is suitable for reprocessing and began to dig. It is said that the underground mining site has an area of about 20,000 square meters. The deepest place is 60 meters. There are more than 200 similar quarries in the vicinity, the size may be different, and now they are basically abandoned and flooded by mountains and rivers. From the data, it is also possible to hold a wedding here! However, according to the curator's introduction, it is a pity that it is difficult for foreigners to make an appointment for such a wedding ceremony.

From the brochure you got at the Utsunomiya JR station, you will find a map of the jazz bar! Watanabe Watanabe, the "father of the Japanese saxophone" who grew up in Utsunomiya, brought a strong jazz atmosphere to the city. Without this booklet, you absolutely can't think of the more than 30 large and small jazz in the small towns on the streets after the sunset. There are not many foods available in more than 30 jazz bars. If you want to solve the dinner together, you are recommended to come to this Free Flight. We are all surprised that the dishes in this bar are so good, and no wonder my friend said. This is a restaurant that was delayed by the bar's sideline business. Of course, the cocktails recommended by the bar are also very good. You can also order non-alcoholic drinks without drinking. The store also deliberately gave us a few foreign silver to show off the stunts of a large ice hockey for a few seconds.

In the summer, the temperature inside the grotto is much lower than the outdoor, and the moisture inside the cave can often see this smog. Hey, this smoke is really bad, I dont have a tripod, I will watch it. The scene will be spectacular.

Utsunomiya is also full of tourist attractions and has a lot to see! First of all, Otani-ji Temple is famous for being able to see white snakes, and it is enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere 🌀 The Heiwa Kannon is also a spot not to be missed, and you will be overwhelmed by the size of the Kannon statue! In addition, Futarasan Shrine has an interesting fortune-telling slip, and a small gyoza charm will come out of the gyoza-shaped fortune-telling slip 🥟 At Otani Kannon, you can be moved by the powerful Kannon statue and spend a relaxing time 💫 When you visit Utsunomiya, you can enjoy a fascinating place where history and modernity are fused together! 📍Location: Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture #0 yen trip February 2025

#getgoing2025 I visited Matsugamine Coffee Building in Utsunomiya on a quiet weekday afternoon, and it was the perfect place to relax. The café has a calm, peaceful atmosphere, with soft music and a comfortable vibe that made it a great spot to unwind. I ordered their ricotta cheese pancakes, and they were fantastic! The pancakes were light and fluffy, and the ricotta cheese gave them a rich, creamy texture. The banana topping was a perfect match, adding a natural sweetness that made every bite enjoyable. **Why I recommend Matsugamine Coffee Building:** 1. Quiet, serene ambiance—perfect for a peaceful tea time. 2. Delicious ricotta cheese pancakes with a perfect banana topping. 📍Address: 2 Chome-8-3 Matsugamine, Utsunomiya, Tochigi 320-0807 ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Tokyo #Japan

Located near Oya-ji Temple and Heiwa Kannon, this facility has shops and restaurants where you can buy local products, as well as food trucks. As there aren't many shops in Oya, this is a convenient place to buy meals and souvenirs while sightseeing in Oya. They also sell sweets made with Tochigi strawberries. At the beginning of the year, there were also many craft stalls. #DomesticTravelRecords #CommercialFacilities
