📍Location: 1-25-4 Rinku-cho, Tokoname-shi, Aichi 479-0882 🕰️Business hours: Mon-Fri 9:30-17:30 Sat-Sun 9:00-18:00 When I have time to come back from a trip, I have lunch at Kanefuku Mewatai Park. Take the Meitetsu train from Centrair and get off at Tokoname Station. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from there. Inside the park, there is a museum where you can learn about the history and how to make mentaiko, a food court where you can eat rice balls, rice bowls, pasta, pork buns, soft serve ice cream, and more, all made with freshly made mentaiko, and a mentaiko direct sales store, but what I always buy is the "Limited quantity mentaiko french bread" that goes on sale around 10-11am. To be honest, it's tastier than the bakeries around here!! ! At first, I didn't pay much attention to mentaiko because I thought it was rice, but one day a friend recommended it to me, so I bought it and was shocked! ! It's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and it's filled with a lot of produced mentaiko 💕 It's irresistible for mentaiko lovers! ! After eating a lot of local food on a trip, the first Japanese meal I had was mentaiko! ! I was so happy ✨ This time, I bought "Mentaiko French" and the limited-edition "Hokkaido raw cod roe rice ball" and was very satisfied. I couldn't finish all the mentaiko French, so I took some home and had it for lunch the next day. With the spirit of "the trip is not over until you get home," I always make a detour on my way home 😋 #Centrair #Tokoname #Tokoname lunch #Mentaiko #Mentai Park #The trip is not over until you get home

The room is clean, the staff is lovely and friendly, and the service is good.

There are tea trees along the road that are blooming beautifully.

This is the 4th Tokoname Festival where all the floats around town are brought out to be paraded. Although I didn't get a chance to go with them at the seaside area, getting to spot them moving towards there was a pleasant surprise on my last day in Japan. I certainly hope that more people would know about this and visit them so that they can preserve this tradition forever!#tokoname #matsuri #travel #festivals #100waysoftravel #100waystotravel
