🌸15/02/2024When we visited, it was in full bloom, and this year it bloomed earlier than in previous years. 🌸The Kawazu cherry blossoms on both sides of the Kawazu River are in full bloom. A whole row of pink cherry blossoms is quite beautiful and romantic, and there are also golden rapeseed flowers in full bloom. Today might be 🌸because the weather forecast said it would rain, so there was no traffic jam when I arrived in the afternoon. There were a lot of people but it wasn’t crowded. 🌸If the weather is good, it is recommended to come early during the Sakura Festival, because there will be heavy traffic and crowds of people. It is recommended to go out early to avoid traffic jams. 🌸In addition, Kawazu holds the Kawazu Sakura Festival every year during the flower viewing season. One of the programs is the night cherry blossoms. From 6pm to 9pm every night, some cherry trees will be illuminated by lights. 🌸In addition to the beautiful Kawazu Sakura, there are many stalls and food. #Tokyo Attractions

When I went to Yuya Onsen in Aichi, I went to the free foot bath near the station♨️ Hokekisen foot bath👣!!! Yuya Onsen is a hot spring that was opened 1,300 years ago, and it is called the Hokekisen foot bath because of the legend that Rishu Sennin, who built Horaiji Temple, entered it👀 You can enjoy the hot spring water directly from the source for free...!!! It was cold outside, so the temperature was about 40-41 degrees, which made it very easy to enter. 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ✔️Recommended points〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 ⚫︎You can enter the hot spring foot bath for free♨️ ⚫︎If you're lucky, you can meet the mascot cat🐈! ? ⚫︎There is an extremely affordable hot spring stand with 100 liters for 100 yen.

Introducing the breakfast at Hazu Gassho in Yuya Onsen, Aichi!!! Of course, I was happy that there were many side dishes to go with the rice, but the white rice cooked in a clay pot and rolled omelet were delicious...!!! It made me feel happy from the morning...🤤 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ✔️Recommended points~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ⚫︎They make grated daikon radish on the spot!? The grated daikon radish on top of the rolled omelet is grated by yourself on the spot, which was an experience I've never seen at other inns, and it was fun 🤤 ⚫︎Freshly cooked clay pot rice 🍚 They prepare freshly cooked clay pot rice for you in time for breakfast!!! There were four bowls for two people, but it was so delicious that we finished it in no time!!! The rice is very delicious at this inn, so if you stay here, I recommend staying with dinner and breakfast included 🥹🧡 #Spring 0 yen trip #Hadugashou #Yuya Onsen #Delicious inn food #Breakfast

The room we stayed in at Hazu Gassho in Yuya Onsen, Aichi. Introducing the Japanese-Western room for two!!! This is an inn that only accepts five groups per day, so we rarely meet other guests in the hallway, but the rooms are also separated, so we were able to stay very quietly🫶 The room I stayed in had two rooms, a Japanese-style room and a bedroom, and it was spacious and comfortable even for two people!!! I basically stayed in the Japanese-style room, but I wanted to spend more time lazing around in bed, so one night wasn't enough~🥹 It was also nice that the drinks in the refrigerator in the room were free to drink~!!! There are other rooms with open-air baths, so next time I'd like to try a different type of room🤤 #Spring0yentrip #Hazugassho #YuyaOnsen #Gasshostyle #Japanese-Westernroom #Roomintroduction

Introducing the dinner I had at Hazu Gassho in Yuya Onsen, Aichi 🥢 Everything I ate was delicious, but... The one I enjoyed the most was this↓↓↓ ⚫︎Amazake aperitif🌾 It was made only with rice and water, and it was the most delicious amazake I've ever had in my life, so I'm wondering if I should buy it online. ⚫︎Sashimi🐟 Of course the sashimi was delicious, such as Kinuhime salmon, but the sashimi soy sauce called Irizake was so good that I bought it at the shop and took it home!!! ⚫︎Hourai beef sukiyaki hotpot style It was a dish that sukiyaki lovers can't resist🤤 It had a gentle sukiyaki taste, and I want to make it at home too...!!! Dinner was served at the venue, but since there were only five groups staying and the seats were spaced apart, it was nice to be able to enjoy conversation and food without worrying about the people around us!!! #Spring0yentrip #Hazugassho #YuyaOnsen #Delicioushotelfood #Dinner

#Spring0yenTrip Nagashino Castle is surrounded by a quiet river and trees, and it is so peaceful that it is hard to believe that a fierce battle once took place here. As I walked from the station, the first thing I saw was the castle ruins stone monument and a well-maintained park-like space. There are not many remains, but the remains of the dry moat and earthworks are well preserved, and as I walked, I naturally thought back to the Sengoku period. At the nearby museum, there were exhibits about the musketeers and the battle between the Oda-Tokugawa allied forces and the Takeda forces, and it was interesting to be able to concretely imagine what it was like at the time with maps and models. It is not a flashy tourist spot, but it is a place where you can quietly immerse yourself in history, and I felt that it was worth taking the time to visit.

Here are some photos of the private rock open-air bath at Hazu Gassho in Yuya Onsen, Aichi~🪨 *Because it is built above the source of Yuya Onsen, it is a medicinal bath that uses mulberry leaves instead of hot spring water♨️ 〜〜〜〜〜 🪨Rock bath 〜〜〜〜〜 Like the cypress bath, it is about 41 degrees, so it is easy to enter and perfect for a long bath!!! The bathtub is larger than the cypress bath, and it is so spacious that it seems like it would be spacious enough for four people!!! You can also bathe while looking at the river flowing in front of you, and the view was great🌱 There are two washing areas here as well, but it is completely outside, so it is cold in winter and hot in summer, so I recommend washing your body in the cypress bath🫶 On a sunny day, if you bathe before or after breakfast, the sunlight hits the water and it sparkles and is very beautiful, so I recommend bathing on the day you check out!!! #Spring 0 yen trip #Hazugassho #Private open-air bath #Medicinal bath #Rock bath #Open-air bath

Hazuki Reception Room, Yuya Onsen, Aichi Prefecture. Today I took an hour for a day trip to the hot springs. I really enjoyed it.

#timetotravel Chiiwa Gorge (乳岩峡) is a valley and a most visited tourist spot in the Aichi region, it is a large white limestone cliff with a height of 670 meters, located on the Chiiwa River of Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture. The cliff has a nice half-mile long trail of weird rocks that was designated a natural monument in 1934, with a sparkling emerald-green clear stream and amazing caves. A mountain stream with very clean water, passing through a tunnel of huge rocks, with large and small caves, and a natural stone gate called Tsutenmon Arch.

This is Yotsuya Senmaida in Shinjo City, Aichi Prefecture. The famous rice terraces have clean water and fresh air. When I went, the rice had already been harvested, but if you go before the harvest, there will be lots of rice. It seems that vocational school students are also growing rice.
