in Osaka and Kyoto

I went to Osaka and Kyoto. There are many delicious foods and good places, so I’d like to introduce Osaka and Kyoto.

First, I will introduce Osaka. I visited Doutonbori in Nanba. This is downtown in Osaka, so there are many kinds of restaurants and shops. You can enjoy the Osaka food and shopping. There are two restaurants that I visited. The first is Wanaka. This is a very popular Takoyaki restaurant and you can enjoy Osaka-specific Takoyaki. It is not crispy like a Gindako and you can eat melty Takoyaki. The Wanaka is not in Tokyo, so I recommend this Takoyaki. Please try it !!

The second is Kushikatsu Daruma. This is a popular kushikatsu (pork cutlet) restaurant. You can eat freshly fried cutlets that are very hot. And we share the sauce with everyone, so we have to promise that no double dipping. When we eat kushikatsu, we should dip the sauce one time. It is interesting culture.

                                                                                     

Next, I will introduce Kyoto. I went sightseeing while wearing a kimono. There are many places to rent a kimono in Kyoto, so you can easily rent a kimono. It costs is about 5000 yen. It is a little expensive, but you can have a good experience with a friend. And you can also good take photos while wearing kimono. Let’s try it !!

New way of sightseening in Hokkaido

I went to Hokkaido, and I stayed Furano. What do you imagine about Hokkaido? For example, you can imagine a Shiroi koibito, lamb and seafood. But today I would like to introduce an unknown tourist spot, not such a famous thing.

First, there is Aoiike. It takes about 20 minutes by a bus from Biei Station. This is a blue lake.Why is the blue? It is because,the Biei River is mixed with water containing aluminum to create a colloid. The colloid reflects to the sun and looks blue.So this day was a lucky day. It looked very blue.It was nice view. 

Next, I ate Butabaradon.This is a pork bowl. It takes 10 minutes by a car from Obihiro Station. First, I thought just pork bowl, but it is different from the pork I always eat. This tasted special. A lot of pork is on the rice and a pork was very soft and the secret sauce very well with rice. Finally It cost is 780 yen. It is very cheep. If you go to Obihiro, I want you to eat it.

Next, I took a balloon in Furano.The balloon goes up early in the morning. I really wanted to sleep but it was very fum.It cost is 2700yen. It was very experience becuse I had never been in a balloon.

Finally, It is ice cream. There is the Naitai farm. You can take by a car, because its located in the Naitai Plateau. And this is farm, so you can enjoy eat ice cream with cow and nice view.

Japanese Culture Travel In Gifu

I would like to introduce traditional spots in Gifu, where you can feel Japanase culture.
First, I visited Hidatakayama. It takes about 15 minutes by walk from Takayama Station. This is an old town, and you can feel the old Japanese atmosphere.  And there are cafes and resutaurants, so you can also enjoy walking and eating.

 This day was a very hot day, so I found a shaved ice store. The store name is Ooiya. I odered a green tea shaved ice. It was very filling and cold in my mouth, but the green tea was rich flavour, so it was tasty. There were also strawberry and hojicha flavors.

Next, I visited Hidanosato. There are 30 Gassho-style houses and a museum of old  houses. Gassho-style is a house to withstand snow,so you can see old houses of snow country.You can also enter the house. And you can experience old Japanese games. There are stilts and water guns, a top in japanese coma and japanese kendama. Especialy I was intarested in water guns. This is made of bamboo. It was difficult because you need power to push water.

When I was young, I often played with these toys, so this reminds me of my childhood!!

Go here and remember your childhood while feeling Japan.







In Nagano

I visited Nagano, so I would like to introduce my favorite places in Nagano.

First, There is Shiraitonotaki. This is a famous waterfall in Nagano. Why do you think it is a famous place?! The reason is there is a long wide waterfall. It’s height is 3 meters and horizontal length is 70 meters, so it’s like a curtain of water! You can relax with  negative ions.

Second is Shigenoya. It takes 30 minutes by car from Shiraitonotaki. This is a soba restaurant but not a normal soba restaurant , because it’s on the prefectural border between Nagano and Gunma prefecture. You can eat soba while having fun on the border.

Third, It’s Kumano temple. This is also on the located in prefectural border. There is a strange tree, because the hole in the trunk of the tree is shaped like a heart. It qas cute tree.
