2025 Teshikaga Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#ItinerarySharing #100 Ways to Travel Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is often chosen as the starting and ending point for European cross-border travel because of its direct flights. This free trip to Spain is based on Amsterdam as the entrance, and a 3-day, 2-night city tour is planned. After the trip, we will fly to Barcelona, ​​Spain. Day 1: Taoyuan-Amsterdam-Walking in the city-Windmill Village Day 2: One-day tour of Giethoorn-Dinner in Amsterdam Day 3: Canal Flower Market-Central Pier-Barcelona [Must-see attractions] 1. #Zaanse Schans: The windmill village closest to Amsterdam. Take the train from Amsterdam Central Station and it takes 20 minutes to arrive. Then walk along the river bank for 15 minutes to see the colorful and cute windmills. In addition to windmills, there are also Dutch specialties such as cheese and wooden shoes, which are really fun to take pictures, visit and buy, and are very suitable for a half-day trip. 2. #羊角村 Giethoorn: This fairytale town, known as the Dutch version of Venice, is filled with simple pastoral scenery. Rivers run through it, and residents rely on boats to get in and out. When you come here, you must experience a boat ride or a walk along the crisscrossing riverbanks. It is very pleasant and simply a paradise. Giethoorn is located in a remote area. You need to take a train from Amsterdam Central Station to Steenwijk Station, and then transfer to bus No. 70. The one-way trip takes about 2.5 hours, so joining a one-day tour group is also a good choice. 3. #水坝广场Dam Square: Located in the heart of Amsterdam, Dam Square is a 5-minute walk from the Central Station. It has a variety of restaurants, cafes and well-known department stores. To the west is the magnificent Royal Palace of Amsterdam, to the south is Madame Tussauds, and to the east stands the National Monument. Take a leisurely stroll along the canal and admire the lovely Dutch-style spires along the river. The famous red-light district is also nearby. 【Must-eat food】 1. Fret Point: Located on the Old Church Canal Street, this Dutch French fry specialty store offers more than a dozen special dipping sauces, including mayonnaise, ketchup, tartar sauce, mustard sauce, curry sauce, etc. However, the most classic way to eat Dutch French fries is with mayonnaise! Very special taste, the fries are freshly fried and crispy, you can take them out to try. 2. Restaurant Vlaming: A local pub near the famous tourist attraction Anne Frank House. The service is friendly and the food is of high standard. I came here after seeing the recommendation on the Internet. It was the first time I ate pink sheep pig. The meat was so tender. It’s hard to imagine that pork can be cooked like this! The steak, risotto, salad and dessert were all very good, the lighting was beautiful and the atmosphere was great. After the meal, you could take a walk along the canal, which was nice. 3. Wagamama: An Asian restaurant in Amsterdam Central Terminal Station. After only two days of eating Western food, I couldn’t wait to try Asian food, so I chose this one nearby. I saw that there was Gua Bao on the menu! I ordered it without hesitation. Although it's not as authentic as the Taiwanese flavor and the braised pork belly isn't tasty enough, it still helps relieve my homesickness. At least the appearance is 100 points. [Accommodation recommendation] #hotel2stay recommends staying in Sloterdijk, which is 2 stops away from the airport and 1 stop away from the central station. The transportation is very convenient and it is right on the edge of the city center. The room rate is cheaper than in the city center. However, there are many school districts and hospitals nearby, so it is relatively quiet and not as lively as the central station and the city center. Hotel2stay offers apartment-style rooms, which are approximately 20-30 square meters in size and equipped with basic kitchen appliances and a dining table. They are very suitable for families. A double room costs approximately NT$5,000 per night, which is a good value for money. 【Photography and check-in spots】 1. #sloterdijk: The rainbow walkway outside the train station is very similar to the rainbow road in Ximending. It is very eye-catching and photogenic. I started taking photos as soon as I got out of the station. With the station as the background, standing on the rainbow walkway to check in and take photos is super fashionable and cool, guaranteed to be a great photo for the internet! 2. #Prinsensluis: Bridge 60 over the Prince's Canal. It's a great place to take photos of the canal, with bicycles and flowers as the background. Especially at night when night falls and the lights come on, the night view is even more romantic. 3. #bloemenmarkt: The beautiful canal flower market is a great place to take photos, especially during spring when the tulips are in full bloom. There are also many high-quality cheese shops here, which is a great place to buy souvenirs. [Tips] A must-have for traveling in Amsterdam: the GVB public transportation pass, which is available for 1-7 days and costs from NT$350-1596. It allows unlimited rides on GVB trams, buses and subways, which is very convenient. #Amsterdam #AmsterdamTravel #AmsterdamFood #ItinerarySharing #100TravelWays

Lake Kussharo in Hokkaido is known as a place where swans come to visit. It is a very large lake, and tourist spots are dotted all over the place. One of them is Sand Bath. As the name suggests, hot springs bubble up from the ground here. Therefore, even in winter, the surface of the nearby lake hardly freezes over, and there were many swans in the vicinity. There are parking lots, toilets, and souvenir shops in the vicinity. Please enjoy Sand Bath, whose scenery changes greatly depending on the time of day and the weather. #DomesticTravel #Hokkaido #HokkaidoTrip #LakeKussharo

Magic moment on the journey✨ Spent an unforgettable afternoon with the swans🦢 Hokkaido 10-day tour 🇯🇵 My favorite NO.1 attraction is here #KusharoLake filled with swans This place is not actually our must-visit attraction.

Kawayu Onsen is a hot spring resort located along the Senmo Main Line in Hokkaido. This hotel is located very close to Kawayu Onsen Station, which can be said to be the gateway to the area. It is within walking distance from the station, so it is very convenient for train trips. The hotel itself is a little old, but the abundant hot spring water and delicious food, mainly Mashu sea bream (which is said to be tilapia farmed in hot springs) farmed using the hot spring water, will satisfy you. This is probably a top-level choice for those who want to thoroughly consider cost-effectiveness. ・Hotel Parkway Address: 3-2-10 Kawayu Ekimae, Teshikaga-cho, Kawakami-gun, Hokkaido Access: 3 minutes walk from Kawayu Onsen Station Parking: Yes #Hot spring #Hot spring hotel #Kawayu Onsen #Hokkaido trip #Winter trip #Snow scenery #Cost-effective hotel

Mt. Iou near Kawayu Onsen in Hokkaido is called Atosanupuri (naked mountain) in the Ainu language. The smoke spewing out and the smell of sulfur filling the air are spectacular 😙 You can walk very close to the fumarole and see the yellow sulfur crystals. Kawayu Onsen is a super acidic spring containing this sulfur, one of the few volcanic springs in Japan ♨️ It's a skin-beautifying spring that also dissolves dead skin cells 👍 Please stop by 😊 #Breathtaking view

Lake Mashu is the clearest lake in Japan and the second clearest in the world after Lake Baikal 😄 It is also registered as a Hokkaido Heritage 👍 The blue lake, known as Mashu Blue, is mysterious. The autumn leaves 🍁 are starting to change color little by little. A must-stop spot for a drive in Eastern Hokkaido ✌️ #AutumnTrip #BreathtakingView

#Overseas Travel #Hokkaido #Japan Travel Transparency is the best in Japan😎😎 The world's second most transparent lake after Lake Baikal｜Lake Mashu Because there is no river flowing into the lake, the water level rarely changes throughout the year. The lake is clear and has few waves. The transparency is the best in Japan. When the weather is clear, the blue lake reflects the mountains, which is called "Mashu Blue" 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Due to its geographical location, Lake Mashu is often shrouded in mist. This is also one of the characteristics of this lake🤩🤩🤩 Must-visit attractions for Beihai travel✅✅✅ address Mashu Plains, Teshikaga Town, Kawakami County, Hokkaido

Seeing the Swan Chu Lulu Lake on the shore of the Kussharo Lake is the largest lake in the Akanmo Week National Park. There are several hot springs on the southeast side that can be bathed. In winter, the lake will freeze, but because there are hot springs in the ground, some of the high-heated ice melts, and four to five hundred swans inhabit each year. First come to the sand soup. There is a hot spring pouring out of the sand at the lakeside. If you are interested, you can dig a pool to make an open-air hot spring. Although the weather was good, the wind blew very cold, and almost thought that the swan would not be able to skip this place, and it was hiding on the other side. The nearby store can buy salt-free popcorn to feed the swan. Then go to Gome Hot Springs. This open-air hot spring facing the Kussha Lake has been cleaned regularly by locals. The dressing room is divided into men and women. The pool is one, with a rock partition in the middle. You can wear a towel or bathrobe to soak. Looking at the scenery of the distant mountains is very beautiful, the swan is swimming around, but the winter is too cold, quickly pat the swan, wrap the clothes on the body, no courage to make hot springs.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Lake Kussharo is located in Akan-Mashu National Park in Hokkaido, Japan, and is the largest caldera lake in Japan. Lake Kussharo has a unique flavor in winter. The air is filled with a cold breath, but it also attracts many migratory birds from Siberia to live here, adding vitality to this quiet lake. There is a small shop by the lake that sells a variety of Hokkaido specialties, and you can also buy popcorn and feed the swans yourself. When I watched swans from a distance I thought they were very graceful, but I didn't expect they were so ferocious when fighting for food. #HokkaidoTravel #HokkaidoAttractions #JapanTravel #JapanAttractions

#SongkranTravel In Japan, it's not just big cities or beautiful snow. But quiet nature like this is just as good. We came to Sunayu Lake Kussharo A freshwater lake in the middle of a valley in Hokkaido. You can sit in an onsen, relieve the cold, and chill. The view of snow covering the lake, clear water reflecting the mountains, and white swans swimming next to it. Let me tell you that the atmosphere is super good, perfect for chilling out. For anyone visiting Hokkaido during winter, I recommend stopping by here one day. I guarantee that you'll be fully recharged. 📍Address: Sunayu Lake Kussharo, Hokkaido, Japan #SunayuLakeKussharo #KussharoLake #HokkaidoTrip #TravelJapan #ReviewJapan #HokkaidoLake #onsenjapan #JapaneseNature #winterinjapan #japanwithbystay #travelwithbystay

193-6 Kussharo, Teshikaga-cho, Kawakami-gun, Hokkaido It is on the way from Lake Kussharo towards Teshikaga city and Lake Mashu. The location is near the Wakoto Peninsula, and if you continue straight from Lake Kussharo, you will come to an intersection with a traffic light, next to where only the roof of a gas station remains, so it may be easy to get lost. I had a soft serve ice cream, which was very delicious. I ate too much for breakfast, so I didn't buy anything, but there were many other delicious things available, such as fried chicken.
