Visited during off-peak so d shopping is leisure n comfy. Many big brands around n there r different bargains to attract. Visit for d bargains n not a specific brand/model, it beats shopping at d malls. There r 2 food courts which offer affordable food options JPY 1000-2000, including 7-11. Walkway between station n buildings aren't covered. Will need brolly during rainy season.

Parking is 3 hours free for 2000 yen spending. Lots of shops. International brands. Discount is around 30 percent. There is sea side strip to see the view. Pretty nice before heading to the airport l.

It is a very nice outlet with lots of shopping opportunities. I was able to shop nicely at furla, cosmetics company store, versace and swarowski. They had good deals on top of the sale prices. Would highly recommend.

20251031 - premium outlet mall that can be accessed by train or shuttle bus from the airport. Besides both local and discounted brands, there are also other normal stores nearby. Most shops offer good discount, and more with the discount voucher you can scan at the information counter. Managed to get some exclusive design bags that are only available in Rinku at good prices.

Rinku Town Premium Outlet is much bigger than I expected and such an easy place to shop. They have a good mix of popular labels and smaller niche brands, and the prices are quite reasonable — you can easily spend the whole day here without getting bored. The food court is also worth a stop. A simple rule works perfectly here: if you see a long line, the food is almost guaranteed to be good. I happened to visit during the Osaka Art Fireworks, and it made the experience even more memorable. The weather by the seaside was cool and refreshing, and the fireworks were stunning. If you’re lucky enough to catch the show while you’re here, don’t hesitate — it’s absolutely worth watching.

Rinku Preium outlet is a fantastic shopping destination near the Kansai International Airport. The outlet mall is huge and offers an impressive variety of stores from high end luxury brands to popular sports labels, along with shops selling kitchenware, household appliances, cosmetics. It’s an excellent place for shopping and casual browsing as well. The dinning options are varied and the view of Osaka Bay add a beautiful scenic touch to the shopping experience.

Premium Outlet shpping centre in Rinku town. 5 minute bus ride from Kansai (KIX) airport. There is a bus that leaves either way every hour and can be caught for 300 yen. About a 8 min walk from closest train station, passing through another outlet centre. Mall is spread over 2 levels and 2 buildings. Has alot of local and foreign branded stores. Has free wifi, small food court and another area containing several restaurants. Various discount vouchers can be obtained from their website. QR codes on posters throughout the centre can be scanned to access the website.

Great oceanic view, chilly and windy. Close to premium outlets and restaurants.

Being a coastal town, Rinku boasts a number of parks scattered all around. This particular one, Rinku Park, is one of the most beautiful and serene park that one could envisage. Overlooking the sea towards Kansai airport as well as the bridge, the park has many amenities and different spots for you to enjoy the scenery. It is well kept and very clean, with lush greenery providing shades. A must visit if you ever stop by Rinku town!

Nice beautiful park! Great place to just take a minute, watch the planes land and takeoff, and see the sunset. It's never crowded, which adds to the calmness of the area.

It was amazing view. My three daughters and I fully enjoyed there. There is calm even though there is close to a couple of highways and a shopping mall.

Nice place to play with your kids or just relax .

Cosy oark and great sunset view

Good place to stay before fly everywhere.

Beautiful area! Nice to visit for the day or to camp overnight.

Very nice. Good place to swim for forigners. Didn't mind a tattoo or two. No necklaces and a hair net was provided for free. Kinda pointless when I'm hairy like a monkey. :)

Really great location. We arrived after store closed so didn't see fun times on a sunny day. Great photo opportunities with big vista and dam in the background.

We only had a lunch there. The food is of exceptional high quality.

One of my favorite place ever!

An impromptu stop and was glad to see the dam

This Is Where Jin Sakai Meet Sensei Ishikawa

Bought tickets off StubHub, had to get the QR code converted to a ticket at 7/11 but otherwise an easy and painless process. The stadium itself was remarkable, with a fervent crowd, fantastic food, and inexpensive prices. So glad we took the time to see a game here. The train lets you off steps from the stadium, absolutely worth adding a game to your itinerary if you can.

This was one of the best sporting events I’ve ever been to. Whether you’re into baseball or just love a good crowd and atmosphere, a Hanshin Tigers game is a must. The energy in the stadium is wild — nonstop chanting, singing, and support from both home and away fans. Everyone’s into it the whole game. You’ve got beer girls running around with mini kegs on their backs, noodle bowls, takoyaki, sushi, skewers — everything you could want for game snacks. We got lucky with seats behind home plate, in the shade, but we met a couple who were out in the outfield and had to bail halfway because of the heat. So if it’s a day game, just a heads up that shade makes a massive difference. The stadium’s super easy to get to — the train drops you right at the entrance, and there’s an official store right at the front (was way too packed when we went, line out the door). Still, there’s heaps of merch stands and fan gear inside the stadium and along the walk in. Overall, such a fun day. If you like sports even a little bit, definitely make this part of your Japan trip.

My family sat in the "Foreigner's" section and where both welcomed and blown away with the atmosphere, Team Chants as well as the attention to comfort and accessibility of the stadium. The food options were plentiful and diverse, my kids had a lot of fun trying different options from what they are used to at home in the San Fransisco Bay Area. We had a truly unique and awesome experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting from out of the country. Our ticket included a program, rally towel, bats for cheering (you clap them together during chants), and upon entry we got commemorative pins and a fan (for $59 a ticket!)

First time in Osaka. First time at a tigers game. What an unbelievable experience me and my son will cherish forever. The passion of the fans is simply amazing!

For any baseball fan, this is a must visit. The environment surpasses most stadiums in the US. The noise from the visitors section in the corner reminded me of soccer stadiums around the world. Never expected curry at a baseball stadium, but it was delicious. The beer girls were never far away for a refill. We also enjoyed the museum before the game, although you need a translator on your phone.

Very fun experience watching the Hanshin tigers! The stadium is full of energy and extremely buzzy and was easy to get to from the city. The food options are great (strongly recommend the long potato’s with cheese). Note: stadium seats are very small and even closer together. My partner is 6’2” and his knees were in the back of the person in front of him. All part of the experience! For people who are a bit larger, just be aware of the seating situation for your own comfort!

First off, Hanshin Koshien Stadium is a must-see on game day for any baseball fan and more so for a Tigers' fan. The energy is unlike anything you see back stateside with non-stop support to the players during the entire game with chants, singing, cheering, and the like. Plenty of great food and drink options. Just one warning, the rows to get to your seats are narrow so be careful and know you may not be getting up for food or bathroom breaks without risking a hazardous crossing from Indiana Jones (all in jest, but seriously).

I was impressed visiting this mall for the first time. It’s so wide and huge. I can stay here for a day hopping different branded boutique, there’s also many choices of food in food court needless to say fine dining on the upper part of the building. There’s Izumiya department store inside, supermarket and cinemas. Great to spend a day with a family. I can have all I need in one stop.

The former Hankyu Braves baseball team's home ground, Nishinomiya Stadium, was located on the southeast corner of Nishinomiya Kitaguchi Station. The general commercial facility built at the end of 2008 is now Nishinomiya Gardens. Naturally, the site is vast at 753,474 square feet. It is the largest in western Japan and the third largest in Japan, and it is difficult to go around in one day. The core store is Nishinomiya Hankyu Department Store, Izumiya, Toho Cinema, but there are many other specialty stores, hospitals, walking paths, etc. A moving walk is also installed, which can be reached without an umbrella, possible spending a relaxing time. It is barrier-free and elevators for a wheelchair are prepared, suitable for couples and families, regardless of age.

The Good: Big mall with unique boutique stores and shops from clothings, home deco, sports wear to food categories that you don't see in malls around Osaka. There's even a rooftop garden where live performances are scheduled. To be improved: Takes about 5-10 minutes to walk from Nishinomiya hankyu train station. Would be more friendly for elderly and disabled if there was an on ground escalator.

Everything in one place. Food, clothes, electronics, toys, furniture; even a cinema! Very convenient. Also, they have a store for foreign foods on the 1st floor if you want to have a taste of home. Whatever you need to do, you should be able to find it at Nishinomiya gardens.

A wide variety of brand stores; The public areas are equipped with plenty of free sofas where people can relax; Most impressively some public areas remain open even at midnight.

Best place for enjoyable shopping. They are various kind of shops their. The top floor is best for relaxing.

Large scale shopping mall catering all comers. Big department store and supermarket at either end, great cinema, lots of specialist stores in between on each of the 5 floors.

Very convenient location between T1/T2 and they have great deals! You can choose room type, also 2 choices from 3 options(i.e. Shower, meals, or drinks) I used their shower, it was great service before the night flight. (minimum amenity and it's ok, there was mold though).

The place is clean, cozy and quiet perfect for relaxation and for those working or studying. Has different rooms that caters to different needs, they have area for sleeping, cubicles for those who are working. Had Spaghetti for breakfast and coffee from the vending machine. Staff are very welcoming and respectful.

This place together with the other three in Osaka most probably a rip-off. This place is only a shower better than Kongo. Our Osaka experience is exceptional and we will come back to the City of Osaka but not in Nodoka unless it will have a new management. Pray Priority Pass will read our review.

An option for a relaxing lounge outside the airport and security gates. Free hot and cold drinks included. Private room available for around 30000yen per person on a week day. Suitable for longer waits at airport as seating at departure section before security is almost non existing.

This is a review for the Narita airport 24hr Nodoka cafe. I landed quite early in the morning and had heaps of time before my hotel checkin, and found this cozy spot to freshen myself up before the long ride to the city so I don’t have to smell like recycled airplane air. Clean showers with spacious and quiet space so I got to do some work and admin like figuring out how to turn on my eSIM! Totally recommend to have a quick stop here and shower, get your thoughts together and adventure into Tokyo!!

Nice place to freshen up yourself before boarding. You can get to shower and have a meal. The beef curry is not bad, rice is nice and curry is good. There’s very little beef though.

The only reason I'm giving a 4 star rating is because the private lounges don't have a screen / curtain to cover the entrance. It was a bit awkward to see across into other private lounges. Otherwise it was clean and well maintained. I didn't really eat food here, so can't comment on it. It was ¥4,800 for a 6 hour private lounge. The toilets were clean, and had access to drinks machines for free.

I went to during the summer festival in July. Had a nice home town feeling, lots of food, activities and beautiful lights set up in the shrine! Recommend coming to a special event like this, but

Nishinomiya Shrine is always a wonderful place to visit and well worth your time if you are traveling between Osaka and Kobe. It is only a short walk from Nishinomiya Station, making it easily accessible by foot. We visited during the 7-5-3 festivities, and many families were taking commemorative photos with their children dressed in formal attire, adding a beautiful cultural touch to the visit. The shrine grounds feature a pleasant walking path leading to the main shrine, while the garden and ponds create a soothing natural atmosphere. Overall, it’s a peaceful and refreshing place to visit. You can even enjoy a traditional snack by purchasing a dango and tea set, finding a bench, and taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Beautiful shrine that worships Ebisu (god of fortune). Definitely a power spot, you can feel it when you step into the shrine grounds. Do note that the shrine services close at 5pm.

Awesome place! It's a gorgeous shrine about a seven minute walk from the station. It's definitely worth the time to check out, especially at the end of September. The shrine has a huge festival and the portable shrine is taken out for a walk around Osaka.

The Nishinomiya shrine is known for the headquarters of Ebisu: the god of wealth as the enshrined deity that blesses prosperity. Its main event is the Tokaebisu held on 10th of Jan every year where men run to win the title of Fukuotoko (lucky man). It's a three days event where the surrounding streets are blocked off and stalls are set up around the shrine. During this time, people come to return their old lucky bamboo and get a new one to wish for prosperity in their business. Otherwise, it's an everyday local (but big) shrine. Also strongly recommend coming by train during the event as the parking lots around the area jack up their hourly rates during Tokaebisu (and they're not any cheaper normally either...).

A very peaceful and quiet place absorb Japanese culture and sit amongst the garden and pond. Entry is free and there are very little crowds. Watch the koi , feed the Koi and just contemplate the world or read a good book.

A lovely tranquil place to go and get out of the busyness of everyday life. A place to connect with nature and with God. Spacious, parking available and just a really nice oasis. Stop in!

very peaceful in the northern side of the park. south side has a lot of people. perfect for picnic. nearest super mart is in the station so go there before u get out of the gate. there is no trash can at the park:)

Wow. This is a great spot to view blossoms. If you're from Tokyo. This spot is like nakameguro but better and without the crowds... Also places to sit! It's great. Don't miss this area during blossom season while in Kobe

Beautiful uncrowded path along the river with lots of blooming sakura. Not full bloom yet as of 4/30/25, but getting close!

One of the best spots for Hanami (watching cherry blossoms) in Kobe/Ashiya. Shukugawa is a pretty long river and there are numerous trees along both sides of it. There are chairs, and also flat ground to sit and enjoy the river, Sakura trees and also the fresh air.

We went there for Sakura Lunch. The place is good and beautiful. River is well maintained. The the public toilets were not in good shape.

Magical place try to come here every year. Best place to do Hanami! 10 out of 10 recommend!

If the whole world is crowding around osaka castle or kyoto for the sakura blossoming season, it is wiser to make your way to shukugawa park. Here, you have peace, serenity, and lesser tourists. A park for the locals. A small hidden secret.

Nice farmer's market. The restaurant had very good food. Another shop was selling excellent onigiri (rice balls).

Visited around lunch hours of a weekend in Oct. Need to queue up for parking. You can shop local produce including chestnut, sake, handicraft and snacks etc at the shop. The restaurant offered chestnut rice etc and other Japanese sets like udon, soba, katsu, etc. but again you needed to queue up by writing your name and no. Og guests at the entrance. I loved the katsu which was crispy outside. After the meal, I also tried the softserve with chestnut sauce. Yummy.

Public toilets available and a cafe with a local produce shop. Only stopped for a short break.

ok

With the weather this year, not so many fresh veg available this year...

Great farmers market for fresh veggies and local souvenirs

A place you should drop by. You can meet various kinds of local things there.

Stopped by on the way from Kyoto to Miyazu. The strawberry is sweet, lots of dessert that is a must-buy. Get some sake for enjoyment at night during the trip.

This michi-no-eki is at the same place as PA with separate parking. Many food options. Free wifi. After opening hours, there’s only one 24-hours toilet which is the accessible toilet.

Lovely service area with lots of shopping~

Drink, eat, shop, pee, rest. Drive. It has pretty much everything you would expect from a service area. Large parking lot.

Very good place to relax. Lots of food, drinks, and many more being sold here.

New & relaxing stop for highway driver, also with a dog playground

Interesting place for visitors to drop by. It sells not only snacks but local souvenirs.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Amazing Shopping Experience at Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets! If you love shopping for great deals in a beautiful and relaxing setting, this is the place to go! Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets offers a wide selection of both international and Japanese brands at discounted prices. The layout of the outlet is spacious, clean, and feels like a mini resort, making it enjoyable to walk around even if you're not planning to buy much. There are plenty of well-known brands like Nike, Adidas, Coach, Kate Spade, Onitsuka Tiger, and even luxury options like Prada and Gucci. I was especially happy to find great deals at Uniqlo and The North Face. The atmosphere is calm and not too crowded, even on weekends. The food court has many delicious options, and there are clean restrooms, helpful staff, and lockers for storage if needed. The views of the surrounding mountains also add to the relaxing vibe. Access from Kobe or Osaka is easy via bus or train, and there’s even a shuttle from Sanda Station. Highly recommended for tourists and locals alike! Be sure to come early and wear comfortable shoes — you'll want to spend hours here!

Easy access car parking, many shops. not much people & the food court is quite good. There is a park for kids

​I had a great time at this outlet! It's huge and has an awesome mix of well-known international brands and popular Japanese shops. The layout is really beautiful and relaxed. Pro-tip: head to the information center for a special coupon code to get an extra 5% off (bring your passport for tax free)

This is a large, outdoor outlet with a huge variety of goods and brands. The weekend can get a little crowded. Parking is free. If you like shopping, this is a great place for you, but be prepared for a lot of walking. There is also a very big Aeon mall right across the street, so you can easily spend the whole day in this area.

I decided to take a taxi from my hotel to Kobe Sanda Premium Outlets, which took about an hour. The outlets were spacious with no waiting lines and a great variety of stores to browse. I especially appreciated the lack of crowds, which made for a relaxed shopping experience. In terms of pricing, I wasn’t sure if there were significant savings compared to premium outlets in California, even with the tax credit. Language barriers were a slight challenge as many shop staff couldn’t assist in English, but Google Translate was helpful. The Moncler store stood out with its wide variety of items, clearly designed for Japan’s colder weather—much more diverse than what you’d find in California. Dining options were excellent. I had ramen with fried rice, and both were absolutely delicious. For the taxi ride back to the hotel, I learned you need to call for one at stop #4, and it usually arrives within 15 minutes. Overall, it’s a great outlet for stress-free shopping and tasty food, though some additional savings would have made it perfect!

🚶‍♀️ Step-by-Step Directions: 1. Inside JR Shin-Osaka Station, go through the Central Gate (中央改札口). This is the 3rd floor. 2. Take escalator to 2nd floor. Head toward Exit 4 3. After going out Exit 4, you’ll walk across a short pedestrian bridge. 4. At the end of the bridge, go down the stairs. Once you reach the bottom, make a slight right turn and continue walking straight. 5. In a minute or two, you’ll see a covered bus stop on your left with signs that say: 神戸三田プレミアム・アウトレット行き (Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlets)

There were definitely plenty of shops and the place looked very clean. The prices are not super low unless there is a sale, but it can be worth it if you find something you really like. All of the food spots and the outlets were packed, so expect a lot of people around.

Accidently deleted the castle photos. if you are a castle fan and I'm the area its a nice walk up to the top. You can see the entrance and stone walls and a museum at the top of the mountain showing the history of the castle. The main part of the castle is no longer there you can only see the ruins and a little temple. The view of sasayama is really nice. There is a nice walk going around the old castle location. Free parking is down along the river. If you cross the bridge and go down the little path away look to your left and there will be a big field near the river. you can park There for free and enjoy the walk I enjoyed it and if I was in the area again I would visit again.

Beautiful location set in the mountains! Well worth walking from the station if you have time some good sights along the way 😀 The town it self is nice too!

Although the majority of the buildings have not been rebuilt the information offered within that which has is undoubtedly worth the price of admission. Walking along the castle walls gives a clear view of the entirety of tamba-sasyama city and it's surrounding environs. Upon entering the rebuilt administration building you can see the history of the castle and its military importance many years ago. The only information available in English is the video history of the castle which has been subtitled in English, this gives a rather in-depth view into the castle's planning, construction, and importance historically. The other wing of the building consists of rooms decorated with traditional art and armor, and during my visit, a show of bonsai. I strongly recommend purchasing the ticket that will allow entry into all four historical sites in the surrounding area.

A good deal to get the package ticket for the four museums for 600 Yen. They are all close to each other, and individually quite small so can easily be covered in a few hours. Not very much to see here as most of it has been rebuilt. Acknowledging it is a former site of castle. And some nice views from the garden.

The rebuilt main building was nice to be able to walk through and understand how Japanese Daimyo lived in the 17th century. The video presentation was also helpful to understand how and why the castle was built. I recommend to anyone visiting the area to walk the entire outer moat and visit the shops along the way.

nice place but small. Just took me around 10 mins to finish

I entered from the back, on the old, large, grassy stairs. I thought about the people from back in the day who walked on these steps. We had to walk up the old stone steps as well! The steps are large and uneven, so please be careful. People worked hard to build those stairs, so appreciate every step. A lot of the castle is no longer standing, but you can see a replica of it in the museum. The is also a video that plays with English subtitles. I was able to learn a lot about the history of this castle! Walking through the museum and seeing the different types of rooms was nice. I imagined myself as someone who lived in the castle while walking. I appreciated the rooms and architecture of the building. Outside behind the museum, there is a shrine and overlook. Go outside and enjoy nature if you can.

We visited Tojoko toy kingdom yesterday. It was very sunny and we enjoyed various kinds of attractions in the park. Here is a theme park specialized to toys. Therefore, the park is very suitable for young children and family. Since restaurant is designated in the park. We don't have to warry about lunch issue. And we can access here from JR Shin Sanda by free bus transportation. Without a car, we can enjoy it. Just a recommendable park for your daughters and sons. Please enjoy. PS Battle event of Bayblade burst was held in the park. It may be planned regularly in the park. If your children or you have any interest to the Bayblade burst, I recommend you to go here with your favorite Bayblade. In addition, please check the rule in advance. Good luck.

This is my second visit. My kid was 2 years during my first visit. Now, 4 years old. We had a great time. Depending on your kid's interest, you may decide to skip buying the unlimited pass. Worth a visit.

It is absolutely a wonderful place to take young kids (ages 2-11 or so). They will love the rides, and if you go on an off day (we went on a Monday) you can get the place practically to yourself. The employees are all fantastic, and so hospitable there. They do need to give the place a facelift, because it is showing its age.

Huge place plenty of attractions with a 2k ticket fee per adult. It has also a few stored where children can play with trains and cars. I just missed a bit of facility maintenance (wrecked walls and some dirty toy statues) but in general it is a very recommended park for your kids

Nice staff, but a tad run-down. Kids (3 and 4) had fun, though not much they could really do, ride wise. The play rooms kept them the busiest. All and all, just Okay.

The place is ok, you'll pay to get in then keep paying for any rides your want to get on. The water park is just big enough for the kids to have fun. Both places are not maintained and show their age.

I didn't go on any rides, mostly just let my daughter play with a bunch of toys. Its best to think of it as a way to try out today and see if you want to buy them for your little one. Wire pricey though

Has kids friendly restroom

large area with 7-11 and Starbucks plus various eateries and local produce/souvenirs/snacks

Very nice Starbucks, nice bathrooms as well. One of the better SA we have seen so far.

Has all you need in a rest stop. Clean toilets and food available for a quick bite.

Good stop midway between mizushima and Osaka

there was nothing place. but it was good sience! I donot think that want to go to there. AKAHUKU was very good food!

Good place for rest

Such a fabulous place to visit on Awaji Island! Incredibly picturesque, with pond, flowering plants, multiple structures, tea ceremony. Tickets for tea ceremony. Large grounds. 2nd parking lot across the street. Kakurai kiosk with original tea ceremony ceramic work (near tea ceremony). Cafes across the street, beach 5 minutes away.

My friend said its the oldest temple in Japan and its belong to the caesar family. There is a very old japanese cedar tree that age over 900 years. Consist of many tree and now only left 2 trees. The shrine itself age almost 1500 years. Beside the history itself there is nothing to see here.

Said to be the oldest shrine in Japan (and the roots of the Japanese nation). But even if it’s not, it’s lovely here. Come and be inspired by nature, find peace and pray.

Afternoon few days before the equinoxes alone with the east west tori gates

Not crowded, you can also feed turtles

Historical shrine worth to come. Regrettably political poster beside.

For people interested in Japanese mythology, this is a must-see. It's a small shrine, doesn't take long to see, and there's a good atmosphere. It's a 30m drive from the highway, but it's a pleasant drive. Of you want to start your stamp collection there, their booklet is beautiful.

It's a nice tourist place in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto. Entering the place is free but they have a museum so you need to pay for couple of hundred yen, if I remember it correctly it was 300 yen, not that expensive. The place represents an old town in Japan which was quite a nice experience. It is on a hill so we saw Fukuchiyama town from the top! The place was so serene when we visited.

Before Fukuchiyama Castle, there was Yokoyama Castle, a fortress of the Yokoyama, the local ruling family. Akechi Mitsuhide, the samurai who subjugated Tamba, rebuilt the fortress using state-of-the-art castle-building techniques of the time, and renamed it Fukuchiyama Castle. There used to be many structures here, including a three-layered four-storied castle tower and expansive Ninomaru Palace. However, these were taken down one after another, following the abolition of feudal domains in 1871. All that remained was a stone wall between the raised foundation and castle keep, a well called Toyoiwa-no-I, and a guard station. The castle currently standing was reconstructed over a period of three years, and construction was completed 1986. The interior is used as the Fukuchiyama City Folk Museum. The castle park also contains the Fukuchiyama Sato Taisei Memorial Art Museum. Exhibits there are centered on works by the late Sato Taisei, a master of Japanese-style painting.

The whole city of Fukuchiyama is simple small and beautiful! This castle is lovely and the parks gives it a nice green touch, during rainy weather there’s not much to do but on a better day it would be fun to visit!

Love the castle grounds but all the exhibitions inside are in Japanese only.

Beautifully reconstructed castle. The original castle was built in 1579, and abandoned in 1873. It was rebuilt in 1986. Inside the castle are displays of building materials, the Akechi clan, and Kutsuki clan. The only downside is that there is no English translation in the museum.

Beautiful castle in a beautiful city. At Fukuchiyama castle, you have a complete, 360° unobstructed view of the entire city, and there are no tall buildings near the castle. The castle is filled with historic and cultural items and is well worth a visit. You are likely to spend 30-45 minutes here.

Fukuchiyama Castle is an underrated "attraction" in Japan and Kyoto! Beautiful with deep history.

Quite a big rnr stop, with wet market food, vegetables, food court and japanese restaurants. Nice outdoor seating area

Nice rest stop. Food court for quick food, I think there's also some restaurants. Souvenir shopping, bentos, lots of produce and bakery goods too. When I stopped by there were a couple stalls selling drinks and fresh corn outside as well.

An interesting highway stop that has a mini historic museum. The shop carries all sorts of goods like a supermarket.

Nice spacious parking lot, good option for for food and souvenirs. Has vending machines for hot and cold beverage. Clean toilets

Very clean toilets, nice variety of food. Fair prices.

If Hachís Kita ski resort would be a F1 motor race, and I would be an F1 car. Here I would pit stop for fueling

The roast beef sandwitch is only 550yen and provides great taste.

Himeji Castle is one of those places that really lives up to the photos. The white castle looks absolutely striking as you walk up to it, and the grounds are peaceful and easy to enjoy. The inside involves a bit of climbing with steep staircases, but it’s worth it to see the wooden interior and the views from the top. It’s a genuinely pleasant place to visit, beautiful, well-kept, and full of history. Tips: 1. We entered around 9 AM, and that turned out to be a great decision. The crowds were still light, so it was easy to walk around and take photos. 2. Spending about 1.5 hour feels just right without rushing.

Amazing historic castle. Do not miss this one- very beautiful and the grounds are just as pretty. I went right at opening and there were no crowds but as I was leaving it was starting to get busier so go earlier to avoid them. Spend the extra 50 yen when buying your ticket online to get access to the gardens as it’s well maintained and beautiful, with koi fish in many of the ponds! One of the highlights of my Japan trip.

Are you looking to get you steps in? This castle has you covered. Go back in time and imagine the sights and sounds, the views the people before you must have seen from each different level and window. The timber work was amazing. If you are in the area it's worth a look. We got the pass to the garden as well. Great afternoon.

Himeji castle is well preserved. Its easily accessible from Himeji station by a walk of 20 mins. Entry fee for the castle is 1000 yen but since I had JR west pass, i got a discount of 20%. I visited during September month, the weather was bit hot. Post entry gate, I was lucky to find a free english tour guide Hideyo, she explained the history of Himeji castle and should all around the castle with minute details. I really enjoyed visiting this castle

Please Read below if you are wanting to learn about this castle and what it meant to japan. This castle is amazing and is one of the BEST places I had seen in 2 weeks. My experience is 2 part, the first part was the castle which is awesome. The second part was you NEED is a guide to take you through the gardens and castle. It was very inexpensive for the history lesson I got about the castle. This was the most important part. Our guide Nobu, was amazing and was by far the thing that made the tour so amazing. Please use Nobu who has a ge eral passion and love for Meiji castle.

A must see in the Osaka / Kobe region. Impressive Castle ! Nice: You can climb up (steep staircases) the whole casle tower (need to take off shoes). When buying tickets: Do buy the combination ticket with Koko-en garden. Several themed Japanese gardens, some of them are a revelation in the art of gardening. Garden is some 200 m left of the main entrance (street)

Himeji Castle was amazing. It is best to visit in the morning getting as much natural light as possible. It is possible to do a trip to Himeji as well as going further to Hiroshima on the same day using the Shinkansen. Be warn it will be an early morning to do both trips in a day. From Himeji Train Station it is an easy 10-15 minute walk to the castle grounds. There are many shops and places to grab a quick breakfast or lunch depending what time of the day you arrive. Wear comfortable shoes since it's a gradual incline to the main castle keep. Be very aware you will have to climb steep staircases once inside the castle. We recommend bringing portable rechargeable fans, because you will sweat climbing the stairs. The views are very beautiful from the top. This excursion can be done in under 4 hours from the train station, up to the castle, and back to go to the next destination.

Much more pleasant and peaceful than inside the castle. Don’t miss it. There’s a tea house inside but it’s currently closed. Maybe bring or apply before coming some bug repellent, otherwise you’ll probably get bitten. Our tickets to the castle included the entrance to the gardens, and I believe most do.

We visited the garden on a saturday in autumn right after we went to himeji castle. Just like the castle, the garden felt extremely crowded. Most of the flowers and ponds in the garden are nicely arranged and well maintained. However, due to it not being one open garden but it being separated into multiple smaller "compartments", we didn't get the calm, serene feeling we usually got at other gardens and parks in japan.

Very beautiful garden that is easy to navigate and even has a recommend route to finish efficiently. Lots of wonderful fall foliage at this time and lots of ponds and small streams. There is the option for a combo ticket with himeji castle, so I recommend that option so you can hit both on the same trip

Marvelous gardens near Himeji-jo castle. Several separate Gardens linked together with great landscapes, glimpses of Hinegi castle on the distance and lovely water features with a vast variety of koo fish connected by walkway stones. Theybalso had an impressive ichibana exhibit when we visited.

While Himeji Castle is of course impressive and worth seeing, for me the real highlight was Kōko-en Garden right next to it. It’s beautifully designed, with different sections that each have their own character — ponds, small waterfalls, and perfectly kept greenery everywhere. Peaceful, scenic, and a perfect place to slow down after visiting the castle.

I have been to Himeji Castle 4 times, and I had never been to Koko-en. This time I made the effort to explore the gardens and I was impressed. I took one of my favourite photos here, with a golden Koi causing the water to glisten in the sun.

Very pretty Japanese garden, which looks amazing during our November visit due to the autumnal colours. It's much bigger than I expected, with several sections to walk around. There was a tea room where you enjoy green tea and sweets, but we didn't have time for this so not sure what it was like. If you get a combined ticket for this garden with the Castle ticket, it's only ¥50 extra than the castle alone!!

Lovely views from this ancient ruin. You can take the cheap shuttle bus between the station and the ruins. It only runs each hour. Be prepared for lots of steep walking. Allow a couple of hours minimum.

I left at 08:00 and arrived around 10:00. Beautiful sights, but didn’t get the sea of clouds. If you want to see them, get there at 06:00 to 06:30!

I’d recommend going to observation deck 1 on the opposite side of the castle instead. From there you can see a panoramic view of the castle surrounded by clouds. If you hike all the way to the top you can also see the sea of clouds over town in the early morning. You don’t need to come before sunrise to see this effect! Photos in this review are from observation deck 1.

Take a bus from Takeda station to the Takeda ruin stop and you have to take a 20mins hike up to the entrance of the ruins where you can purchase your ticket with a machines. Recommended that you bring 1000yen or coins for the bus rides, bigger notes are okay for the ticket but not the bus. Be prepared to walk alot up and also inside the ruins, to exit the ruins it’s using stairs but they are pretty steep. We came abit too early for the cherry blossom and too late timing for the clouds, so you can plan your trip for it but expected a crowd at those peak periods too.

Absolutely fantastic spot that reminds me of Machu Picchu on its ruins layout and perched atop a mountain. The bus from the visitor centre departs with quite a wide gap in timing so do time it well if you are visiting, else walking or taxi is the only option. The bus takes you near, but still an uphill walk for 900m is still required. As you walk uphill, there's a turn left where the signboard says not to enter from, and that is actually the exit point. Technically if you go through there, then it's free entry? As there is no ticket checks within the ruins itself. However, the ticket price is not at all hefty and I will recommend that we all do our part to preserve this fantastic monument. At the end of the monument, you can see a sweeping view of the Takeda town below.

A few days ago, I travelled with my family to visit the "Takeda Castle Ruins" in Asago-shi, Hyōgo-Prefecture-Japan. It's a bit of a drive from Kyoto, about 21/2 hours to be precise. There are a few options available on maps, and we opted for driving most of it through the countryside. Time-wise, it hardly made a difference. About halfway in, we stopped at an udon restaurant for lunch. Our first stop was high up on NR 163; it's a winding road to the top and easily accessible by car. On the top, there is a spot from where you can see Takeda Castle Ruins. The distance to the castle is just under 3.00 kilometres or 1.8 miles. I used a 70-200 telelens with a 2X extender. The weather was not at its best, with slight rain and dark clouds; still, it was a fun experience. Of course, the prime time to shoot a legendary picture is in late autumn when there is fog in the morning. There is a second spot that is very popular with photographers. Located on the opposite side of the castle, you'll need to hike up between 10 and 30 minutes. There are three observation spots, with number one the hot place and the highest. Because it was getting dark, I opted for the third observation spot. The shooting distance to the castle is just under 2.00 kilometres or 1.2 miles. There is a path, but it is steep and rugged. This area is famous for its clusters of cherry trees during the sakura season. I definitely would like to go back in autumn to see the castle in a sea of clouds.

Took the train from Osaka station, it was quite a long train journey but the views from Takeda castle ruins made me forget about it. A special memory, lots of green and beautiful views of the landscape. Very powerful spot for the spiritually aware. For the fit like me, you can run up it in 20mins. Great exercise & the beauty at the top will rewarding. Best time to visit I was told was really early morning spring, when the whole mountain is covered in mist.

The most magical place I've ever been to. You take the ropeway up to the stop. You can either take a bus or hike your way up. I would recommend to walk your way down after taking the bus up. This place is so serene and calming.

The Engyoji temple is a significant Buddhist temple located on Mount Shosha in Himeji. The temple complex is huge but main parts to cover are the Maniden, Jogyodo, Daikodo, Jikido. You can dedicate an ema for wish fulfilment at Maniden. The Maniden can be reached via a walk up the mountain from the ropeway station. The walk up is around fifteen minutes and has many Kannon statues on the way. Or you can take a shuttle but it comes at some intervals. Majority of the important places to visit are located within five to ten minutes of walk. But also except for Mani den, many of the buildings are not open for public.

Take bus 10 from Himeji Bus station to Ropeway stop to Engyoji Temple. Scenic view of Himeji along the ropeway up to the temple. Entrance ticket price is 500 yen. I suggest walking up to Maniden and Daikodo-Jikodo-Jogyodo (Scenes of the Last Samurai movie by Tom Cruise) and taking the bus back to the ropeway (500 yen for both ways or one way. You can make paymemt by cash at the entrance or while boarding the bus). Nice place to spend a morning walk. It can get hot and warm in the later part of the day in summer so prepare to drink more water and wear a hat. Check the timing of the ropeway and bus back to Himeji station. You could also inform the driver if you would like to visit Kokoen Garden or Hemiji Castle as there is a bus stop outside Kokoen Garden. This route is better as after visiting the castle, you will be nearer to Himeji main station and can get a late lunch along the streets.

The cable car ride up to Engyō-ji was great, and I really enjoyed the nature and peaceful atmosphere once there. The temple complex is beautiful and feels wonderfully calm — a nice contrast to the busy city below. Only downside was that Google’s route planning for the way back wasn’t the best, but the visit itself was absolutely worth it.

Mt Shosha, Himeji, is stunning. Impressive complex, spent about 2 relaxed and very enjoyable hours there. Stunning mid-Nov autumnal scenery. Well worth the visit. Bus direct to cable car which runs every 15mins. Van drives up to shrines for those needing it. Walk to shrines is pretty, uphill but not difficult.

Wonderful despite the rain. Took the bus to the ropeway. Gondola takes 4 min. Paid 1000 yen (500 for temple and 500 for shuttle). You could walk 20 min instead of using the shuttle. You will need to remove your shoes to enter temples. Overall, it was nice and glad we had a guide.

Very beautiful temple on the top of Mt Shosha. The Rodeway up is affordable, entrance is 500 yen, and they have a little bus to traverse temple grounds for not much more.

One of the best waterfalls in the west side of Japan. Recognized as the top 100 waterfall.

I love the surroundings ambience, hearing water flowing makes you relax and refreshing 😍😇💪🏽

Please dont go there. Its a long drive to see a small waterfall.

Powerful waterfall!!

(Translated by Google) It's close to the parking lot and takes less than 5 minutes to walk. It has been selected as one of the ``Top 100 Waterfalls'', so it was better than I expected, with a well-maintained area, toilets, and a park.The waterfall itself is less than 50 meters high, so there is a lot of water, and although it is a direct waterfall, it is a wonderful waterfall. did. There are waterfalls in the surrounding area, so you can enjoy a variety of things, so you can spend all day taking photos around this valley. There are places in the surrounding area such as Tadashiki Bridge that have deteriorated and cannot be passed, so you need to be careful. (Original) 駐車場からも近くて歩くこと5分もかかりません。「滝100選」にも選ばれているので四阿/トイレ/公園など整備されていて、期待以上の滝でしたし滝自体も50m弱の高さから水量もあり直瀑ですが素敵な滝でした。周辺にも滝があり色々と楽しめるので、この渓谷周辺で一日中過ごせて撮影出来ますね。只し木橋など劣化して通れない場所も周辺ですがありますから注意は必要ですね。

(Translated by Google) Amataki Falls is close to the parking lot, so it's easy to get to. If you continue along the mountain path from Amataki Falls, you'll reach Hakotaki Falls. Hakotaki Falls is quite impressive. It's just the right distance for elementary school children to walk! It's full of negative ions, and the chirping of the birds is soothing. (Original) 雨滝は駐車場から近いので行きやすいです。雨滝から更に山道を進むと筥滝にたどり着けます。筥滝はなかなか迫力あり。 ほどよい距離で小学生の子も歩けました！マイナスイオンたっぷりで、鳥のさえずりにも癒されます。

(Translated by Google) This is a very large and beautiful waterfall. Because it was the rainy season, the water volume was high and impressive. [Explanation below] Amataki Falls, Tottori Prefecture's largest waterfall, was selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Waterfalls in 1990. The 40-meter waterfall over the Fukuro River, which flows from Mount Ogino, is surrounded by virgin forest and the sight of the gushing water cascading down is truly impressive. There are 48 waterfalls, large and small, in the surrounding area, all of which can be viewed in their natural state. In October 2010, the San'in Coast Geopark was certified as a member of the UNESCO-supported Global Geoparks Network, and Amataki Falls is part of the Oginoyama area. You can observe the rare and beautiful topography here. Since ancient times, this area has been a sacred place of training and worship, and in the past, a "waterfall visit" ceremony was held on August 1st of the lunar calendar. Today, the Waterfall Opening Festival is held every year on the first Saturday of June. With the magnificent waterfall as a backdrop, the region's traditional performing art, the Inaba Umbrella Dance, and religious ceremonies are performed. There are walking paths and gazebos leading up to the waterfall, where you can enjoy the autumn foliage and the fresh greenery of early summer. (Original) とても大きく美しい滝です。 梅雨入りしているので水量が多く迫力がありました。 【以下説明】 平成2年に日本の滝百選に選定された鳥取県一の大飛瀑の雨滝。 扇ノ山から流れ出す袋川にかかる落差40mの滝で原生林に囲まれた場所とあふれ出んばかりの水量が落ちる姿は迫力満点です。周囲にも大小48もの滝が存在し、いずれも自然のままの滝を見ることが出来ます。 2010年10月、ユネスコが支援する「世界ジオパークネットワーク」へ「山陰海岸ジオパーク」が加盟認定され、この雨滝は扇ノ山エリアに属します。貴重で美しい地形を観察することができます。 古来より霊場として修行・信仰の場所となっていたこの地ではかつて旧暦8月1日には「お滝まいり」が行われていました。現在は毎年6月第１土曜日に「滝開き祭」が開催され、壮大な滝をバックにこの地方の伝統芸能である「因幡の傘踊り」や神事などが行われています。 滝付近までには、遊歩道や東屋があり、秋の紅葉、初夏の新緑を満喫できます。

(Translated by Google) I am a 59 year old woman. I am suffering from spinal stenosis, plantar fasciitis, and hip joint discomfort. At the orthopedic clinic, I have been prescribed painkillers and patches, but the painful symptoms that cannot be cured with just that alone have helped me maintain my quality of life and be able to go to work thanks to the techniques of the director and staff. We also provide medical insoles and shoes that are suitable for the patient. Anyway, the atmosphere inside the hospital is always warm and soothing. My son, who is a high school student, also helps with posture correction. Please take care of our staff as well. Thank you for your continued support. (Original) 当方59才女性。 脊柱管狭窄症、足底腱膜炎、股関節の違和感でお世話になっています。 整形外科では痛み止めと貼付剤の処方を受けていますが、それだけでは治らない辛い症状を院長先生やスタッフのみなさまの手技でQOLを保ち、仕事にも行けています。 患者に合った医療用インソールや靴も用意してくださいます。 とにかく院内の雰囲気があたたかくいつも癒されています。 高校生の息子も姿勢矯正でお世話になっています。 スタッフのみなさまもどうかご自愛されてくださいませ。 今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

(Translated by Google) At my first visit, I was suffering from pain when using my wrist, but now that my wrist has healed, I am coming back for lower back pain. I had so much pain from my waist to my back that I couldn't sleep with my head up, but I went to Shiro Usagi for a massage, and now I feel much better. During the massage, I was always impressed by the staff as they carefully relieved the areas that really hurt. Now, although it only hurts occasionally, I go for massages and waterbeds regularly. The water bed is so comfortable that I want to sleep forever ☺ I'm really glad that a friend in my neighborhood told me about White Rabbit when my wrist hurt ☺ (Original) 初診は手首の使い痛みで通っていたのですが、今では手首治って腰痛で通ってます。 腰から背中にかけてむっちゃ痛くて、上向いて寝れないときが続いていたのですが、白うさぎさんに通いマッサージでほぐしてもらい今ではだいぶ楽になりました。 マッサージで、本当に痛い所を丁寧にほぐしてもらい、スタッフさんの手神!?って、いつも思ってました。 今では、たまに痛くなる程度ですが定期的にマッサージとウォーターベットに通ってます。ウォーターベットも、ずーと寝ていたいぐらい気持ちよいです☺ 手首が痛い時に近所の友達に白うさぎさん教えてもらって本当に良かったです☺

(Translated by Google) I couldn't open my mouth wide, so when I went to see a doctor, I was told that I had temporomandibular joint disorder. After taking medicine and waiting for two weeks, I looked for this osteopathic clinic, and since the reviews were good, I hurriedly went there for treatment. Correspondence over the phone was smooth. From the first session, the pain disappeared and I felt more relaxed, and my body posture gradually improved. The overall massage was great (actually everything was great!!!). Everyone was very responsive, listening carefully and providing advice. I would like to take care of you until the end, and I would like to continue coming here with peace of mind. It really helps me❗ (Original) 口を大きく開けなくなって、医者に見てもらうと顎関節症と言われました。２週間薬を飲んで待った後、この整骨院を探して、評価も良かったため急いで治療を受けにすぐ行きました。電話での対応スムーズでした。第一回目から痛みもなくなり楽になり、身体の姿勢もどんどん良くなって来ます。全体的なマッサージが最高です(実は全て最高でした！！！)。皆さんの対応もすごくて、丁寧に話を聞き、相談してくれました。このまま終わるまでお世話になり、安心して、通い続けたいと思います。本当に助かってます❗

(Translated by Google) Thank you for your help in correcting my straight neck. This is a very trustworthy osteopathic clinic because they carefully and carefully interview patients and check their general condition in order to provide treatments that are tailored to each individual. The explanations during the examination were very easy to understand, using photos and other information. Both machines and hands are used for the treatment, and I felt a significant change even after just one session, so I'm looking forward to seeing the correction course complete! The massage and water bed that relaxed my whole body felt so good! The clinic was clean and the staff were all friendly, so I was able to relax and not feel nervous. There is a large parking lot, and reception is open until late, so depending on the day you can go after work, so it may be a good choice for those who value ease of access. (Original) ストレートネックの矯正でお世話になりました。 一人一人に合った施術をするためにしっかりと慎重に問診や全身状態の確認をして頂けるので、とても信頼できる整骨院です。 診察時の説明も写真等を使っており、大変わかりやすかったです。 施術は機械も徒手も使われており、私は1回でもかなり変化を感じたので、矯正コース終了時が楽しみです！全身をほぐすマッサージとウォーターベッドはすごく気持ちよかったです！ 院内は清潔でスタッフさんも雰囲気の穏やかな方ばかりだったので、変に緊張せずリラックスさせてもらうことができました。駐車場が広く、遅くまで受付しており日によっては仕事終わりに行くことも可能なので、通いやすさ重視の方にも良いのではないでしょうか。

(Translated by Google) I went into the hospital knowing that the cause was sudden pain in my lower back, but the doctor couldn't give me an answer as to which course was best. I didn't know what the treatment was going to be like, and I had been told that some of the pain was coming from body distortion, so I thought that if I chose the whole body course, it would balance out my overall health. It was a pain, but it barely touched my lower back and had no effect. Did you arrive at the conclusion to perform this procedure after listening to the patient's concerns and giving instructions to the staff? I don't think there's any point in giving everyone the same treatment. I was shocked to hear that I would need 12 to 17 treatments at a cost of 5,000 yen each to see significant improvement. I think it's good for people who don't like being jerked off, but that treatment is not included in the full body course. The treatment was performed not by the doctor who diagnosed the patient, but by the staff, who guided them to the massage machine and then gave them a manual massage. I don't feel like it's working at all, either immediately after the treatment or after a few days. I think it might be effective for people who sit for work or who have chronic stiff shoulders. I learned a lot. (Original) 原因が腰で突発的な痛みだとはっきりとわかってる状態でかかりましたが、先生からはどのコースが最適という回答が得られませんでした。どう言った内容の施術をされるのかわからない＋身体の歪みから来てる痛みもあると言われたという前提があった為、とりあえず全身コースを選べば全体的にバランスを取ってくれるのかと思い選びましたが原因の腰には殆ど触れない上効果無し。患者の悩みを聞いた上でスタッフにも指示を出してこの施術をするという結論に行き着いたのでしょうか。全員に同じ施術したって意味が無いと思うのですが。大幅に改善するには一回あたり5000円12〜17回の施術が必要と言われて驚愕しました。ゴキゴキされるのが嫌という人には良いと思います、その施術は全身コースでは行われません。施術も診断した先生ではなくスタッフさんによってマッサージ機械に誘導された後人力マッサージされといった感じです。効いてる感じは施術直後も数日してからの好転反応を得ても全くありません。普段から座ったまま仕事であるとか、慢性的に肩が凝ってる人には効果的なんじゃないかと思います。大変勉強になりました。

(Translated by Google) My lower back pain was so severe that it hurt even when I coughed, so I went to see a doctor. I am now so grateful that I have recovered to the point where I no longer feel any pain. The inside of the hospital was very beautiful and clean, and there was a kids' space, so I felt safe bringing my kids there. The hospital director and all the staff were very kind, so it was very easy to visit the hospital. (Original) 咳をしても痛いほど腰痛が酷く、受診しました。 今では痛みを感じない程回復し、とても感謝しています。 院内はとても綺麗で清潔感があり、キッズスペースもあった事で子供を連れて行っても安心でした。 医院長先生をはじめ、スタッフのみなさんがとても親切だったこともあり、とても通院しやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) Thank you for your help with postpartum pelvic correction. It was my first time going to an osteopathic clinic, and I had the impression that it would be a closed-off place, but I was pleasantly surprised by how open and new the equipment was. Above all, I feel at ease because the director and other staff members are kind and courteous. It is also very helpful that the receptionist watches over the children (infants) during the treatment. The procedure is almost painless. I only feel a slight tingling sensation from the ultrasound, and the staff members ask me if it hurts. The massages and water beds are so comfortable that you might fall asleep. I believe that pricing is also set from the patient's perspective. I'm still in the hospital so I don't know if it's 100% effective, but the pain in my body is gone or reduced, and the strain is getting lighter. Overall, I'm glad I went. (Original) 産後骨盤矯正でお世話になっています。 整骨院へ行くのは初めてで、何となく閉鎖的なイメージだったのですが、開放的で設備も新しめの物ばかりでイメージが覆りました。 何と言っても院長先生をはじめ、スタッフの方々が親切丁寧な対応をされていて安心します。また、施術中は受付の方が子ども（乳児）を見てくださるのも大変助かっています。 施術はほとんど痛みを伴いません。超音波で軽くピリピリするくらいですし、スタッフさんが「痛くないですか？」と気にかけてくれます。マッサージやウォーターベッド等は心地よいので寝てしまいそうなほどです。 料金設定も患者の立場に立った設定がされていると思います。 まだ通院中で効果は100%は分かりませんが、身体の痛みが無くなったり軽減したり、しんどさが軽くなったりしています。総合的には通って良かったと思っています。

Soooooo beautiful with Sakura blooming! Just be prepared to have tough walking

Really nice castle garden. The parking was a bit confusing. But lots of cherry trees. There were just starting to bloom when I got there.

3/26 now!

Late March, early April is the best time to visit this place for to see the beautiful Sakura blooms. You will enjoy it

The atmosphere of a sakura matsuri is back in full swing!

Winter Hours adjusted to 5pm closing

Really wonderful

Lovely shrine with a lot of rabbit statues which has a huge burden to carry stones of wishes and hopes.

Very cute shrine with a unique flavor. It’s said to be closely related to the myth of the marriage between Okuninushi and Yagami-hime, so it’s a shrine famous for seeking marriage. And it,s close to the coast and the beach and has an excellent view.

It’s a nice spot right next to the ocean. My friend really wanted to go. So we stopped by and she got a really cute charm. It is a shrine for lovers to see if it will last. People put stones on rabbits stamped with a kanji. I don’t remember exactly which kanji but it is something about a lasting relationship. Definitely worth a quick visit

A very cute temple with lots of rabbits, i wouldn't say not worth it but with the beach in the front quite pleasant to spend half of the day to walk along the beach after temple visit. in between temple and the beach is rest area where you can have some refreshment or meal and of course buy some local produce and souvenirs or have a cup of coffee！

Hakuto (White Rabbit) Jinja is a Shinto #Shrine in #Tottori. It is the setting of the myth of the White Rabbit of Inabane. It is one of the nicest #Shrine l have ever seen. It is believed that the Shrine's power is to relief from burns and other skin conditions. The shrine is located in a very peaceful pond in the forest with Mitarashi pond where ducks were swimming peacefully.

Great Shinto shrine in Japan. This shrine has sacred atmosphere. Many rabbit ornaments and Shrine groves like "Totoro's Forest" are impressive!

nice place , cute littke cat , lucky to saw a rainbow
