Let's travel to Gifu, full of autumn and delicious flavors✨ First, head to Gifu's gateway, the Tokaido Shinkansen Gifu-Hashima Station✨ The area around Gifu-Hashima Station is an area where business hotels and rental car companies are concentrated. Gifu is mainly traveled by car✨ Make sure to arrange a rental car✨ The platform is on high ground, and it's also a great spot to get a panoramic view of Hashima City👍 #autumntrip

It is just a few minutes' walk from Hashima Station. The wisteria trellis is beautiful and it is well worth the trip just to see it. The best time to see it is just after Golden Week every year, but because of the heat this year the flowers seem to have bloomed early. There are many local senior citizens' groups and families with children, so if you are planning to visit now, it is better to wait until after Golden Week.

Let me share some tips for traveling on the Shinkansen✨ First up is the local Shinkansen station 'Gifu-Hashima.' This station is only served by local trains. 👑 Recommended Point ① 👑 Although it's not a large station, it's surprisingly convenient! You can reach Osaka in about 55 minutes and Tokyo in about 1 hour and 30 minutes✨ 👑 Recommended Point ② 👑 If you book a reserved seat, you can travel comfortably seated. When reserving your Shinkansen ticket, I highly recommend opting for a reserved seat✨ Since it departs from Shin-Osaka, make sure to book early to secure your reserved seat😊 👑 Recommended Point ③ 👑 The station kiosk offers local specialties for sale✨ Of course, the Tokai region is famous for dishes like miso katsu and eel bento✨ However, my top recommendations are the 'Temari Sushi Bento' and 'Miso Katsu Sandwich'! The Temari Sushi Bento is a must-try item that often sells out! Definitely give it a taste✨ The Miso Katsu Sandwich is a reliable choice for deliciousness✨ 🌸 Gifu-Hashima Station features two platforms: one for Tokyo-bound trains and one for Osaka-bound trains. It's a clean and elevated station with an open view, making the arrival of Shinkansen trains quite thrilling✨ 🚇📍 Location: 645-1 Fukujucho Hirakata, Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture 🗺️ The area around the station includes hotels, rental cars, and Meitetsu trains, so transportation is very convenient.
