Oashigawa River in the mountains of Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture 🌍🌿 This is the place I went to for the first time last year! As you can see, the water was really clean and clear, and it was so beautiful! 🤍 It's definitely best to go on a sunny day ☀️ It was sunny in the morning, but the weather suddenly turned bad in the afternoon and it started raining ☂️ Since it's in the mountains, the weather often changes suddenly, so I recommend checking the weather forecast carefully! 😂👍🏽 Many parking lots are available for rent for a certain amount per day, so it's safe to come by car 🚗 You can really feel the nature, so please go! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #fallingforfall #beachlife #beachgirl #traveller #travelholic #backpacking #backpacker #trip #lovetravel #beach #backpacker #backpack #worldview #traveler #spooktaculartrip #beachlife #summervacation #river #nature #tochigi #japan #Tochigi #Japan #river #nature

This shrine is located next to the factory direct sales store of the famous dacquoise barley workshop Roa. The barley beauty is also enshrined here. You can't help but be entranced by the gentle atmosphere of the barley beauty playing the biwa. If you're at Barley Workshop Roa, why not stop by here? Address: 3-1 Otsukicho, Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture #Shrine

I climbed the hill on my bike! This is a great spot to look out over the surrounding area from the ridge. Depending on the weather, you can see the towering Mt. Nantai. After going through the tunnel, the road starts to go downhill and you will soon reach Lake Chuzenji, so it feels like this is actually a mountain pass and you can enjoy the feeling of having climbed up by bike. #FreeSpot #Nikko #BreathtakingView

Iwashita's New Ginger Museum Located at 1-25 Honmachi, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, this museum has exhibits related to Iwashita's new ginger, sells Iwashita products, and has a cafe. It's a spot where you can enjoy free admission. The nearest station is Tochigi Station, and it's a 12-minute walk away, and the road is flat, so it was easy to get there. #Tochigi #rainy day spot #summer trip

i love the way i live😍🎶 #happynewyear

#cherryblossom25 After the cherry blossoms fall, Ashikaga Flower Park in Tochigi continues to bloom beautifully with a vibrant display of other blooms. We were especially captivated by the cheerful pink flowers lining the paths, standing tall and bright under the soft spring sky. The colourful garden and the visitors who came to admire it all, truly captured the joy as spring slowly came to an end.

#Spring0yenTrip I visited an area of ​​Tochigi City lined with storehouses. Here, old storehouses have been renovated into shops and cafes, allowing you to relax in the historic streetscape. The texture of the storehouse walls and the shape of the roofs retain their traditional feel, and just strolling around makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. In particular, at the cafe that was converted from an old storehouse, I was able to spend a relaxing time enjoying dishes and sweets made with local ingredients. The town is also dotted with quaint alleys and historic buildings, giving it an atmosphere like a movie set. Tochigi City's is a fascinating place where history and modernity blend together well.

Iwashita's New Ginger Museum, which can be reached on foot from Tochigi Station in Tochigi Prefecture, is a gag town with a ginger motif? Ginger = ginger Ginger = shrine So there's a ginger shrine🫨 There's a room where ginger sleeps, and the bookshelves in that room are full of mysterious books🫨 You can take photos inside a giant Iwashita's New Ginger package, or take photos wearing a 5m-tall new ginger headgear, and there are plenty of spots that you don't know if they're photogenic or not! And what's more, admission is free Open from 10:00 to 18:00 Closed on Tuesdays (except all day) and during the New Year holidays Is it really free?! There's a full lineup (all related to ginger), so please go and laugh~😂 #Iwashita's New Ginger Museum #Tochigi #Tochigi Tourism

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been a post town on the Nikko Reibeishi Kaido road since the Edo period. It was also a commercial city in northern Kanto as a wholesale town that prospered through boat transport during the Edo period. Even now, the banks of the Uwa River that flows through the city and the main street of Kuranomachi are still lined with heavy black-painted storehouses and white-walled storehouses. The storehouses are said to be among the oldest in Japan. This is a record of a leisurely stroll along the charming walking path along the Kuranomachi street, feeling the history. · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • • Access 📍13-1 Fujimi-cho, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 328-0043 📍Tochigi Kuranomachi Free Parking for Visitors 〒328-0036 11 Muromachi, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 📍About 7 minutes on foot from JR Tochigi Station, about 500m #Domestic travel #Girls trip #Tochigi Prefecture #Tochigi trip #Tochigi sightseeing

I made a reservation the day before and used this hotel on short notice to go to the Watarase Reservoir and the Koga area. It included a breakfast buffet, had a large public bath, and there was a cancellation, so I got a non-smoking single room on the top floor, a spacious semi-double bed, the building was very clean, and the front desk staff were all kind and comfortable. The blue jinbei was on a shelf above the closet next to the door. The Yomiuri Shimbun morning paper was free. The cost performance was very attractive, and since I arrived late and left early, and took a bath around 7am, it was great that it didn't feel crowded even during the three-day weekend. I would definitely use this hotel again.

#0yentravelFebruary2025 NHK Taiga drama "Berabou" The protagonist Tsutaya Juzaburo is the man who introduced Kitagawa Utamaro, who is said to have a deep connection to Tochigi City, to the world.

There are three exhibition corners: "Utamaro and Tochigi," "Tsutaya Juzaburo and Tochigi," and "The Changes in Tochigi Town." In the "Utamaro and Tochigi" corner, you can see the kyoka hymns of Tochigi and related works, such as Tsuyotei Tokunari and Zenno Kihei IV, who had a deep connection with Utamaro.

Why not visit my favorite city, Tochigi?! There is a river running through Tochigi, so you can stroll around the city in a calm atmosphere. There are also many buildings and museums to enjoy. I highly recommend it for a leisurely sightseeing trip. #0yentravelautumn

It may look like something completely different, but it's a proper ginger museum. The museum is packed with things to do, including visiting Iwashita's ginger shrine, visiting Shinshoga-san's room, and taking photos on the ginger wall. The shop also sells penlights, so ginger fans should definitely get one. I honestly don't get it, but I had a blast.

Mount Taihei is located in the southern part of Tochigi Prefecture. The entire mountain has about 4,000 cherry trees, and the roads on the north side are also lined with cherry trees. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the two-kilometer-long cherry blossom tunnel is fascinating. When you come here to enjoy the flowers, you can also taste the three famous products of Mount Taihei: meatballs, grilled chicken skewers, and tamagoyaki. At the foot of Mount Taihei, Taizan Temple has a 360-year-old weeping cherry tree planted by the mother of the fourth shogun Tokugawa Ieko. #springplace2024 #cherryblossom
