#FuriTabi I had banh mi at the Chiryu branch of "Huong Viet Vietnamese Cuisine" in Chiryu City 🥖 The restaurant had a homey atmosphere, and the interior that gave off a Vietnamese vibe was impressive ✨ Banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich, with various ingredients sandwiched between French bread 🐹 This time I ordered a banh mi with the shop's recommended ham sandwiched between them 🪄 First of all, the texture of the bread was exquisite, crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, and I was amazed by the quality from the first bite 🇻🇳 It reminded me of my trip to Vietnam... 📕 The ingredients include plenty of juicy ham, and you can also consume fresh vegetables 🥑 This is a dish that I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to experience the authentic taste of Vietnam in Japan ✊🏻💐

Chiryu Shrine Festival or Chiryu Festival is an important event that decorates in early summer. The main festival and the festival during the Matsuri are held every year on May 2nd and 3rd. This festival has a long history dating back to the Edo period (1653) "Nakamachi Festival Book" and is characterized by Bunraku and Karakuri puppet performances on floats.

Chiryu City has flourished as a transportation hub since ancient times, and is famous for the Kamakura Kaido built in the Kamakura period, the Ikegoi Carp Gate, the 39th post town on the Tokaido in the Edo period, and for its horse market. Traces of the Tokaido from the Edo period can still be seen in the city. In the Edo period, it was written as Chiryu (carp in the pond), and the furigana in the historical Kana usage was “Chirifu”. Chiryu Park is famous for its irises, which were given as gifts by the Emperor and Empress Meiji, and this is the main reason why many people visit this festival every year. In addition to the beautiful flowers, you can enjoy various cultural events, tea parties, take photos, and see traditional “karakuri” dolls. Delicious food is also available at the park’s shop. 🗓️Schedule of Shiryu Festival 1. Shiryu Matsuri Festival 2/5/2024 - 3/5/2024 2.

I visited Chiryu Shrine in Aichi Prefecture. The information board states that Chiryu Shrine is one of the leading shrines on the Tokaido. It is one of the three major shrines on the Tokaido (Mishima, Atsuta, and Ikorifuna) and flourished as a temple town. Ikorifunajuku, which flourished around the shrine, was also a bustling post town on the Tokaido 53 Stations, and the temple town that stretches to the south of Chiryu Shrine still retains faint traces of the old Tokaido, where Ryounji Temple is located. It is now located under National Route 1 and the elevated National Route 155, so I couldn't see the shrine while passing by, and passed it by without stopping, but the area where the old Tokaido was located has a charming atmosphere that preserves the history of Ikorifunajuku, with the remains of Chiryu Castle, Ikorifuna Daimyojin all-night light, and nostalgic old town houses with blackboard walls. Within the shrine grounds is the Tahoto Pagoda, a nationally designated important cultural property. It is a structure from the Muromachi period and is very worth seeing. The other structures were constructed from the late Edo period through the Showa period, but the shrine building layout in Owari style, which is rare in the Mikawa region, has led to it being designated as a national registered tangible cultural property. It's definitely worth a visit! #tourist spots with a sense of history #tourism in Aichi Prefecture #visiting shrines

A small community shrine, but with a very good atmosphere, quiet, cool air, is a spot to take pictures with changing leaves in early December, when the leaves change color to their fullest. Most Japanese grandparents like to walk for exercise in the evening, and some take their dogs for a run in the early morning. It is a beautiful sight that can be seen with the eyes and experience traditional Japanese culture, traditions, and lifestyle, which makes foreigners like us who come to live in Japan fall in love with the charm of Japaneseness like this. #TravelJapan #ThaisInJapan #TravelJapanByYourself

The early summer rainy season is the time when the Iris "Hana-shobu" blooms everywhere. In Chiryū City, the Iris Festival "Hana-shobu" is held in Chiryū Park in mid-June, with fun and entertainment throughout the weekend. While elsewhere in the world, the name "iris" is used to refer to any flower in the species family, Japanese irises have specific names for the most popular varieties, such as "Hana-shobu" with yellow near the base of the petals, "Ayame" with intricate petal patterns, and "Kakitsubata" with fine white petals. 📍Chiryū Park 知立公園 (西公園) https://maps.app.goo.gl/DQiNvpB23wWHmxMi6?g_st=ic #JapanTravel #Shrine #JapanTravel #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelAbroad #Japan #JapanTravel #JapanTrip #Travel #TripMoments #ThaiPeopleInJapan #TravelNagoya

One of the best shrines in Tokaido and on the information board Chiryu Shrine is counted as one of the three major shrines of Tokaido (Mishima, Atsuta, and Ike-Koi-Funa) and flourished as a temple town. Ike-Koi Funashuku, south of Chiryu-jinja Shrine, still remains the traces of the old Tokaido, where Ryounji Temple is located. It is now located under National Route 1 and National Route 155, so we did not see the shrine when passing by and did not stop. But in the area where the old Tokaido stood, there are ruins of the castle and an old well. Daimyojin night lights, old townhouses reminiscent of blackboard walls, and there is also a koi pond. #NagoyaTravel #JapanTravel #TravelJapanByYourself #TravelAbroad #japan #japantravel #japantrip #travel #tripmoments #shrine #placestovisitjapan

Chiryu Shrine is the second shrine in Mikawa Prefecture, and it is said that in the third year of Kasho (850 AD), Jingu-ji Temple was built on the ground and a pair of pagodas were built. The existing Taho-to Pagoda is 3 kilometres in size, with 2 round pillars at the back, which are used as raiko pillars, and a tiled roof. As an architectural remains of Jingu-ji Temple, it is a valuable item throughout the country. During holidays or weekdays, there are always people visiting and praying at the shrine, because in addition to the shrine, there is also a park near the shrine where we can sit and rest in a cool, quiet, and magical atmosphere. #japantrip #japantravel #travelabroad #traveljapan #traveljapanbyyourself #placestovisitjapan #thaipeopleinjapan #travelnagoya #travel #tripmoments #shrine

Shiryu Festival 知立祭 Each float, which is 7 meters high and weighs 5 tons, is brought from five cities to participate in the festival. At the Hommatsuri Festival held every two years, the floats roll through the streets as if they are about to crush the eaves of houses one by one. The floats head to the shrine to the sound of festival songs called "Kamimai" and performances of bunraku and karakuri on the floats. In the following year's Aimatsuri, there are no bunraku and karakuri performances, but instead, the floats are beautifully decorated to dedicate to the shrine. #TravelJapan #TravelJapan #ShiryuFestival #知立祭
