2025.2.23 I was actually planning to go snowboarding in Nagano, but due to the cold weather, I went to this southern plum grove! The best time to see the plums would have been this week or next week, so I'm glad I changed my plans and came today! I bought some plum juice as souvenirs, and some plum wine for my mom! I was also a little interested in the plum yakitori restaurant, but it was so popular that people were buying several bottles each, and there were quite a few people in line, so I gave up! I was also interested in the plum-flavored fried chicken! I'll definitely try it next time!! #PlumGrove #WakayamaTrip #WakayamaTourism

What is Shirasaki Marine Park? ! It's like the Aegean Sea of ​​Japan. A photogenic spot with a beautiful contrast of blue and white 🪧🩵 A spot where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue sky, azure sea, and pure white limestone. From the observation deck at the end of the stairs and the path surrounded by white limestone, you can see the magnificent view of the sea and white rocks that spread out before you. This limestone, formed by coral and shells that have hardened over a long period of time, is a rare sight created by the power of nature, and it gives you the impression of stepping into another world. At dusk, the scenery changes dramatically, and the sunset sinking beyond the horizon is also a beautiful sight. After the sun sets, the sky is filled with stars, and if the weather is good, you may be able to see shooting stars and the Milky Way. . . 🌠 At the roadside station in the park, you can enjoy shirasu donburi and the famous soft serve ice cream, and the meal while looking at the spectacular view is exceptional. In the summer, sunflowers bloom in full bloom, and it is also popular as a spot that looks good on social media👏✨️ The scenery of the coastline before visiting is also beautiful, and it is a perfect spot for a driving course🫰🩵🩵🩵 #0 yen trip January 2025
