We visited Nasu Garden Outlet on a Saturday, and it wasn’t crowded, which was great! There was plenty of parking space, and we were able to park just a few steps from the entrance, making it super convenient. While there weren’t too many shop options, it still had all the well-known brands. Overall, it was a pretty decent experience!

This outlet is great for walking with your pet. I particularly think the Nike store is fantastic for anyone looking for good, cheap sneakers. There are many on the shelves compared to other Nike outlets. The photo posted of the La Boheme restaurant is wonderful, sophisticated atmosphere and very good food.

I love this outlet mall. Because it is one level only, it’s quite big. Prepare to walk for long distances. Besides that, lots of brands and products are available at a very reasonable price. Food selection is also good. To get here, the best option is still by car. If you are a visitor coming to this place can be quite tricky.

The atmosphere is relaxed, with many brands and food products to explore.

While this outlet mall is conveniently located near Nasushiobara Station, international travelers might find it somewhat lacking. The selection of luxury brands is very limited, and even popular brands like Nike have a restricted range on offer. However, the mall is extremely pet-friendly. You can dine with your pets on the terraces of restaurants, and they are allowed inside if you carry them. There’s also plenty of space for dogs to run around freely. That said, the quality and variety of the products might be a bit disappointing, especially if you’re used to shopping at outlets abroad. Overall, Nasu seems more suited for enjoying the great outdoors and local cuisine rather than for shopping.

Really big shopping garden with lot of famous branded outlets, you can find clothes, foods, vegetables and some sweets. also can find rare items for gift like blue berry honey. so it's good visit if you have a extra time like 1-2 hours. price is very reasonable for almost everything

I went there on a free shuttle bus from Nasushiobara station. If you want to get there, try to check it on thr website for the schedule. It snowed the day before I came (on 28th Dec) so snowed all the place. This time every brand is on big sales with many famous brands. Got nice stuffs for my holidays. They also have restaurants and convenience stores in case you are lost in the maze of shopping stores. :)

We visited early on the morning of Sunday, November 17th, during the fall foliage season. The news had reported that this weekend was ideal for viewing the leaves, and by the time we were leaving, there was a line of about 50 cars outside the parking lot. The autumn colors were visible around the large suspension bridge. Although this year's foliage season was quite late, it seemed that all the visitors were enjoying themselves.

It was a nice little spot for a quick photo. We didn’t actually cross the bridge, but ended up spending more time at the nearby local shop instead. It was clean, well-organized, and had a great selection of local products.

Require a ticket to walk the bridge. In spring, you can still see the cherry blossoms. The view is stunning as you walk across the bridge.

A less known tourist spot but worth the experience. Neatly nestled in the Shiobara valley and prefectural forest, off season is the best time to visit if you want this place for yourself. Supposedly it is famous for marriage proposals. And its easy to understand why - because if the partner says yes, one would feel like settling down in the valley & if the partner says no, one would feel like living the life of a recluse in the valley.

The time I was there was not the right time to watch the red leaf. Other than the red leaf there is nothing special as the road station. To cross the bridge is not so expensive and certain exercises can be done.

To cross the bridge you have to buy a ticket, around ¥300. Nice place to enjoy the Autumn leaves. Crowed in season. Free parking with several shops around. When the free parking is full, ¥100 parking also available.

A must visit place if you go to Nasu. It’s beautiful during autumn and picturesque..!! The length of the bridge is 320 metres, is the largest pier-less suspension bridge in Japan. Magnificent views of the Shiobara valley can be seen from the bridge. In autumn, the bridge commands enchanting views of the foliage reflected on the lake. Officially listed as a “Sacred Place for Lovers”.

Road station michi nari the place that everyone gonna visit during going somewhere. 1 restaurant there 1 cafe (gelato) 1 bakery and some ice cream restaurant ourside. Lots of people there and really bad driving since everyone wants to park there car. Supermarket there is cheap tho. Especially vegetable!

Nice place to take a break and buy local veggies, fruits and some good fresh (recommended) milk .

Old Edo outlook from outside. Some interesting food shops inside. Nice to stop by for a few pictures and fish shape waffles.

Good place to stop for omiyage. Excellent fruits and vegetables. Some meat products, great natto.

It was closed right now due to its renovation however you can still use loos.

Big parking lot. Clean washrooms. Safe, convenient.

Good quality veggie store.

Nice little place with a heritage site you can visit (paid), a cafe/restaurant and a farmers market. You can visit the park, parking and toilet for free.

Very new and clean. Not as many vegetables available as some older places. Everything looks to be good quality.

Update (August 2021): Recently opened up the rice bag we got during our visit two months ago and IT HAD BUGS!!! 😫😫😫 lots of lively black bugs writhing with cocoons on the sides of the bag. This should not happen. It was quite disgusting. Be careful of buying rice here. Former post from June 2021: Good area to get some veggies and plants! Have a bite to eat and take a walk on the former residence of Ambassador Aoki and his family.

I like this place.

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful building with some shade, and the sunflowers were in full bloom. It's the perfect place to take a break during a drive at this time of year. The store sells fresh vegetables at relatively low prices. The eggplants and bitter melons are large, and the asparagus is also fresh. What surprised me most was the corn. It was incredibly sweet and rich. It seems to be a variety called Sunny Chocolate. I'd go back just for this. (Original) 綺麗な建物で木陰もあり、ひまわりも綺麗に咲いてました。この時期ドライブの休憩に最適です。 店内は、新鮮な野菜が比較的お安く売ってました。 茄子やゴーヤが大きい。アスパラも瑞々しい。 何より驚いたのが、とうもろこし。 めっちゃ甘くて濃厚でした。 サニーショコラって言う品種らしい。 これだけのためでも、また買いに行きたいです。

(Translated by Google) Visited in the evening. Locals have complained about the increased prices since the renovation, but the selection is generally quite good, and I like the fact that prepared foods and bento boxes are half price. The store is clean, and if I have the chance, this is a roadside station I'd like to visit again. I bought bento boxes, eggs, etc. I missed the soft serve ice cream, so I'll save it for next time. (Original) 夕方訪問 地元の方はリニューアル後高くなり、不満の声も有るようですが、中々総合的に品揃えも良く、総菜や弁当が半額になるところも好感を持てます。店舗も綺麗ですし機会が有れば、また立ち寄りたい道の駅です。弁当、卵など購入。気が付かずスルーしたソフトは次回に。

(Translated by Google) Location: Located along the route to Nasu Kogen, this area also sells local agricultural products and goods. Environment: There is a rest area, a farmers' market (local farmers selling their produce on-site), and a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Local wines, milk, and dairy products are also available. Local desserts, sweets, candies, and cookies are also available. Local handicrafts and souvenirs are also available. There is also a small restaurant serving meals made with local ingredients. Pre-cooked bento boxes are available for purchase and can be enjoyed in the rest area. Essential roadside rest stops are provided: restrooms and tourist information. The area is bright and clean; please make sure to rest and shop here. Nearby are the former Aoki family residence, Nasu Villa, and N’s YARD (Yoshitomo Museum of Art, Nara). Ample parking is available. (Original) 地理位置：去那須高原會經過的地方，也是販售當地農產品、商品的地方。 環境：有休息區、農產品販售區域（當地農家現地販售）、蔬果鮮花樣樣有。地酒、當地牛奶、乳製品品項多。還有當地的甜品點心糖果餅乾。具當地特色的手作品和紀念品。 還有一家小餐廳，使用當地食材製作的餐點。 有熟食便當，可購買後到休息區享用。 有道路休息站必備的功能：廁所和旅遊交通資訊。 場地明亮乾淨，請大家務必到這邊休憩和購物。 旁邊有舊青木家那須別邸和N’s YARD(奈良美智美術館） 停車場車位多。

Ryuka Falls is a beautiful waterfall with a very fairytale scenic road to get there. It's especially beautiful during autumn. The total lenght of the route is roughly 700m-1km. It's rather easy hike and accessible for any age. There is also parking available 150-200m from the starting point.

Just a simple 15-20min hike but the sceneries were breathtaking 😌 I spent too much time taking pictures that I missed the bus I was supposed to ride on lol

We came this place for hiking and enjoy the call breeze of the forest during last autumn,and I hope we can have time for any seasons to complete the whole year round and the falls is so nice.

Beautiful spot. Required a short hike to access the main falls but even the most novice of hikers wouldn’t struggle. More of a walk than a hike. Makes for a very relaxing stroll with beautiful scenery to enjoy the whole way along.

Free to enter, free to park. Forest walk through many waterfalls to this one tall waterfall

A most amazing place! Wonderful landscapes, well worth the walk! Was very lucky to be there at the right season, Autumn! Not so easy walk as claimed, but not impossible too! And a free car park at the start! Very popular, and quite busy! Plan to go early....

If you go for the little hike its worth the sights the water fall. The path may be a bit slipy

Natural, scenic, peaceful place: lush greenery, cool mist, relaxing atmosphere. There is a viewing platform (“Kanbakudai”) and from the parking lot some stairs → then further path down to the waterfall basin. Free admission.

This place was amazing! Short walk, suzushi tenki! Family all took our shoes of and dunked our feet in. Wow, late July and the water was sooo cold! Our daughter found a frog, frog attached.

Fantastic place deserved a super 5 star rate! The water fall, stream, greenery is the piece of art by nature. Definitely a pleasant place to visit in spring and summer season. Only 3min’s walk to the waterfall, good to access and less difficult walking.

Free parking and entrance and there’s a lovely cafe near it.

A great little excursion from our hotel (Epinard Nasu). We had it to ourselves, and loved the beautiful sound of the water as well as the rich green surroundings.

Nice place to visit when you travel around Nazu area. Free parking available. There is a staircase to go down and have a close look.

Beautiful and quite a short walk from the parking area, so that's a real plus for me.

I don’t know what else do they have in here but it’s beautiful and peaceful hearing the sound of the river . Once you reach the middle of the bridge you will feel it swinging 🙃 there’s a parking in there and when you reach the end of it there’s a stairs going up (i forgot what it is i think it’s a visitor’s center) i don’t know what it means and we didn’t go there .

The view is ok

Enjoyed the hike!

beautiful sight

(Translated by Google) 11/9 The leaves were turning red and it was the perfect time to see them. The foot bath at the foot of the bridge was very hot from the source, but the water was quite lukewarm where you put your feet in. I was grateful that it was free to use, along with the toilets. (Original) 11/9 紅葉が進んでちょうど見頃の時期でした。橋の袂の足湯、出てくるところの源泉はとても熱々なんですが、足をつけるところはだいぶぬるくなっています。 トイレとともに無料で利用出来てありがたい。

Cross the suspension bridge and reached to the top to see the beauty of Mikaeri Falls

(Translated by Google) I arrived before 6am There are two stairs to go down, a steep staircase and a smooth staircase. I went down by the sliding stairs. Is it because it's morning? The suspension bridge didn't have any special features and it was a beautiful scenery. eagle? hawk? was on the railing of the bridge, and I felt like I was in the middle of a mountain. I was so tired from the steep stairs on my way home. If you are confident in your legs and hips, go for it. (Original) 朝6時前に着きました 降りる階段は2箇所有り、急階段と滑らかな階段 降りるのは滑ら階段で降りました 朝だからかな？吊橋は特に特徴が有る訳でもなく綺麗な風景でした 鷲？鷹？が橋の手すりに居て、なにか山の中って感じをしました 帰り急階段、すっごく疲れました 足腰に自信が有る方はどうぞ

(Translated by Google) We were able to view the waterfall from below while taking a canoe experience. It was a beautiful waterfall that reflected the green of the trees. (Original) カヌー体験にて滝を下から眺める事ができました。木々の緑が映えて美しい滝でした。

(Translated by Google) I visited here on the recommendation of the Shiobara Dam Management Office. You can see it immediately after crossing the suspension bridge, but the gentle path was closed and the only way to get there was via the steep course. The distance is short, so it's easy for those with no worries about their legs or back. (Original) 塩原ダム管理事務所の方の勧めで訪れました。 吊り橋を渡ってすぐ見られますが、緩い道が閉鎖していて、急坂コースからのみになっていました。 距離は短いので、足腰に不安が無い方なら簡単です。

(Translated by Google) There are two courses to get down to the suspension bridge. Gentle course and steep course The gentle course is an old road that is detoured and not well maintained. The handrails were rotten and it was surprisingly difficult to walk on. The steep course descends all at once to a stream, so it's quite steep, but I felt safer on this route as it had solid iron pipe handrails and paved steps under my feet. Free parking. Waterfalls and suspension bridges are also free. There is a toilet in the parking lot. I want to come during the autumn leaves season! (Original) 吊橋まで降りるコースはふたつ。 なだらかコースと急コース なだらかコースは遠回りであまり整備されていない旧道。手すりも朽ちていたり、意外と歩きにくい。 急なコースは、一気に沢まで降りるので、かなり急だけど、鉄パイプの手すりもしっかりついていて、足元も舗装された階段になっているので、こちらの方が安心だった。 駐車場無料。滝や吊橋も無料。駐車場にトイレあり。 紅葉の時期に来てみたい！

(Translated by Google) Visited on December 31st, and the leisurely course appears to be currently closed to traffic. So, choose one course for good legs. Although the drop is steep, it only takes about 20 minutes round trip to reach the Meiji no Taki Observation Deck, so it's not too tiring. Compared to the Great Suspension Bridge, this one has a more natural scenery, and best of all, it's free. I went during a gust of wind, so the bridge was shaking and it was quite a thrill. However, it seems safe to carry 360 people, so don't worry. (Original) 12/31に訪問、ゆったりコースは現在通行禁止の様。なので、健脚コース１択。 落差は激しいが回顧の滝展望台までなら、ゆっくり見ても往復20分程度、そんなに疲れない。 大吊橋と比べるとこちらは自然を感じさせる景観、何より無料。 突風吹き荒ぶ時に行ったので橋が揺れてかなりのスリル感。 でも360人が乗っても大丈夫らしいので安心。

(Translated by Google) The suspension bridge shakes and is thrilling, but if you go to Nasu, you can't miss this place. I recommend forest bathing during this time of fresh greenery, but I'm sure the autumn leaves will also be beautiful. The suspension bridge is also free and I like being able to enjoy nature. (Original) 吊り橋が揺れてスリリングですが、那須へ行くならここは外せないです。 新緑のこの時期も森林浴が楽しめてオススメですが、紅葉も綺麗なんだろうなと思います。 吊り橋も無料で、自然が楽しめるのが好きです。

Very nice view of the mountains around. Refreshing site!

(Translated by Google) We went on the last day of the Obon holiday. There were hardly any people there. The views were amazing!!! <<<<<But it was pretty tough getting there! >>>>>> First of all, the winding mountain slope to the parking lot was steeper than I expected. From there, it was a brisk 15-minute adult walk to the entrance to the marsh. Recently, there have been bear sightings in Nasu-Shiobara, so there were concerns about bears. The path from the parking lot to the marsh required pushing our way through quite a bit of overgrown grass and trees, which was quite challenging, and even the bears were scary. I highly recommend going with as many people as possible and bringing bear bells and other bear protection gear. Also, since it rained until morning, there were some muddy spots. The worst part was right after leaving the parking lot. Your shoes will seriously get dirty there, so be sure to check the weather the day before! Also, there are some areas along the way where there is a lot of grass, so it's best not to go on short notice. However, once you overcome these difficulties, a beautiful view unfolds before you! Be sure to prepare and be careful! (Original) お盆の最終日に行きました。 人がほとんど居ない。景色最高！！！ <<<<<けど、行くの割と大変！>>>>>> まず、駐車場まで山のくねくね坂道思ったよりもあった。駐車場ついてから、湿原の入り口まで大人の早歩きで15分。 最近は那須塩原では「熊の出没」もあるため、熊の心配とあるし、駐車場から湿原までの道のりが割と草や木々が生い茂っている中をかき分けて行く必要あるため、結構大変だし、熊の心配もだって怖かったです。 なるべく、多くの人で行くことと、クマ避け鈴やクマ対策のグッズなど持って行くことを強くお勧めします。 また、この日は朝まで雨だったこともあり、ところどころぬかるんでいるところありました。一番酷かったのが駐車場出発してすぐのところ。ここはマジで靴が汚れるので、前日の天気と要チェックです！！ あと、道中は草が多いところあるのでハーパンでは行かないほうがよい。 けど、そんな困難を抜けた先に綺麗な景色が広がっていました！準備して気をつけて行ってください！

(Translated by Google) It takes less than an hour to walk slowly around the boardwalk from the parking lot. It's best to avoid sandals. If possible, it's a good idea to bring long pants and a bear bell for safety. There aren't many people, so you can enjoy the area at your own pace. Parking is free and there are also toilets. (Original) 駐車場から木道をぐるっとゆっくり一周しても1時間かからないぐらいです。サンダルはやめといた方が良いです。できれば長ズボンと熊よけの鈴もあった方が安心だと思います。人も少なくゆっくり楽しめます。なお、駐車場は無料でトイレもあります。

(Translated by Google) The boardwalk is well maintained and easy to walk on. However, sneakers are required. I visited on June 28th, and only a few Nikko Hemerocallis flowers were blooming. (Original) 木道で整備されていて歩きやすい。 但し、最低スニーカーは必要です。 6/28に訪れましたが、日光キスゲはポツポツしか咲いてませんでした。

(Translated by Google) There were several cars in the parking lot, including a group of hikers. I was wearing sneakers, but I was lightly equipped and didn't have a bear bell, so I followed the people ahead of me as I descended. I descended to Komoriishi and walked to the observation deck. The weather was nice, and the sky and scenery were beautiful. I'm glad I came. (Original) 駐車場には数台の車があり、登山者のグループもいらっしゃいました。 スニーカーこそ履いてはいましたが、軽装備で熊鈴も持っていなかったので先に歩かれている方を追いながら降りていきました 子守石まで降り、展望台までを歩きましたが 天気が良くて空と景色の美しく、来て良かったです

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday lunchtime at the end of May. If you don't go along the hiking route, it takes about 30-40 minutes to go around the whole circumference. I literally had the place to myself, and since I was in an area with no mobile phone coverage, I felt like I was the only person in the world. When I looked over at the pond, I saw a huge number of tadpoles that had hatched. It was such an impact that the image will stay burned into my mind for a while. (Original) 5月末の平日昼間に訪問しました。 登山ルートに入らなければ一周3-40分くらいで廻れます。 文字通り貸切状態で、携帯会社の圏外エリアなのもあり、世界に私一人しかいなくなってしまったような体験ができました。 ふと池に目をやると、おびただしい数のオタマジャクシが孵化していました。インパクトのあまり、しばらく光景が脳裏に焼きついて離れなさそうです。

(Translated by Google) Morning, October 30th A short walk from the parking lot leads to Numagara Marsh. It's not a very large marsh. There's a boardwalk. It was just the time of year when the leaves turned red. There was frost on the boardwalk in places. (Original) 10月30日朝 駐車場から少し歩くと沼ッ原湿原 あまり大きくはない湿原 木道が整備されてる ちょうど草紅葉の時期だった 木道に゙は霜凍ってるところもあった

(Translated by Google) There isn't much space to park your car, so it can be difficult during autumn leaves and long holidays. Also, there are places where it is difficult to get to the parking space when the road is narrow and people pass each other. There is Kotaro Chaya next to the parking space, where you can get tea, coffee, and food. (Original) 車をとめられるスペースは少ないので紅葉や大型連休の時は大変です。又　駐車スペースに行くまでの道が細くすれ違うときは大変な場所があります。駐車スペースの脇に小太郎茶屋があり、お茶やコーヒー、食事をとれる場所があります。

(Translated by Google) I visited this place after being recommended by the inn where I was staying. Apparently there are many stories behind it. The tea shop is doing well, taking advantage of the mountain stream's topography. Considering that the Nasu area is full of beautiful mountain streams, is it really worth going out of your way to visit?... (Original) 泊まった宿の方に勧められて伺いました。 色々曰くはあるそうです。 お茶屋さんが渓流の地形を活かして上手く営業されてます。 那須一帯が素晴らしい渓流に満ちていることを踏まえるとわざわざ行く価値はあるかというと。。。

(Translated by Google) It's a nice place, but if you come by family car or luxury car on the narrow mountain gravel road, it's hard to pass each other and there's a lot of traffic. Even during the tourist season, wouldn't it be better for the store to have someone standing at the entrance (maybe a security guard) and restricting the number of cars entering when the store is full? I'm scared that my car will fall off a cliff. The parking lot fills up quickly, and if you don't stop, you have to park on the side of the road, which causes another traffic jam. I don't know what jurisdiction (prefecture, country, store, etc.) it will be in, but if the store says it's open from and until what time, and everyone comes there, I wonder if this place is the store's. (Original) いいところなのですが、狭い山の砂利道でファミリーカーや高級な車で来ると、すれ違いが大変で大渋滞してます。観光シーズンだけでもお店の方が誰か上の入り口に立って（警備員さんでも良いと思います）満車の時は入る車を制限した方がいいのではないでしょうか？崖から車が落ちそうで怖い。駐車場もすぐいっぱいになってしまい、停まれないと路肩に停めるので、それでまた車が思うようにすれ違えず渋滞。どこの管轄区域（県や国、お店など）になるのか分かりませんが、店側が何時から何時までオープンと書いていて、そこにみんな来てるならここの場所はお店のなのかなぁ。

(Translated by Google) A driver who seems to be a beginner blocks the road by parking on the side of the road, then there is more parking on the side of the road, completely blocking the road. You will be at a loss for what to do on the weekend. It's not a problem of clutter or scenery, it's hell. (Original) 初心者と思われるドライバーが道を塞ぐ路駐→その後に更なる路駐で、完全に道路封鎖。週末は途方に暮れるでしょう。団子とか景観の問題では無く、地獄。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place. You can enjoy the clear stream without having to eat dango at a teahouse. However, be careful as you will have to go down a mountain road that is only wide enough for one car to get to the site, so if an oncoming vehicle comes, one of you will have to back up the steep mountain road to a wider area, so it is recommended for beginners and those who are not confident in driving. It's better to stop. Also, this mountain road is extremely rough with an extremely steep slope, and low-height cars will scrape the bottom and spoiler of the vehicle. (Original) キレイなところです。 別に茶屋で団子食べなくても清流を楽しめます。 ただ要注意は現場まで車１台分しか幅のない山道を下るので、対向車が来るとどちらかが広い場所まで急勾配の山道をバックしなければならず、初心者や運転に自信がない人は止めた方がいいです。 またこの山道はとんでもない急勾配の上にかなりな悪路で、車高の低い車は下周りやスポイラーを擦ります。

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful and soothing space if you can avoid the crowds. In summer, the breeze from the mountain stream feels good. However, now that the coronavirus has subsided, please be prepared to find a parking space and wait in line for the teahouse on Saturdays and Sundays. You have to go down a steep unpaved slope, but motorbikes, cars, and dogs come rushing in. (Original) 人混みを避けられれば美しくて癒される空間です。 夏は渓流の風も気持ちよい。 ただしコロナも一段落したおかげで土日は駐車スペースの確保と茶屋の順番待ちは覚悟してください。 未舗装の急坂を下りなければなりませんが、バイクも車もワンちゃんもガンガン入ってきます。

(Translated by Google) I went during the summer season. It was very hot on the way, but the wind seemed to be blowing only here so it was very pleasant. However, people who are easily bitten by mosquitoes should be careful. (Original) まさに夏な時期にいきました。道中はとても暑かったですが、ここだけ風が吹いてるようでとても気持ち良かったです。 ただし、蚊にさされやすい人は注意ですね😅

Free parking and entry. The area has beautiful scenery all year round, but the autumn is the perfect time to visit to take in the breathtaking sights along the journey and in the area. This is a place I would recommend for everybody.

You must come here to see maple leaf

Beautiful, even i didn't visited it in the best season, I could appreciate beautiful views

The view was absolutely stunning. Love the red maple trees. Its a must go place.

the area is run down the city in. falling apart not worth the visit

Wish I went a week later (I went Oct 28) for better colors.

Very au

We entered during the botan matsuri, when there was an entrance fee of 500 yen. Immediately felt it was worth the price, as we received tea and Japanese sweets as a service. We enjoyed the sweets while watching the temple from the garden. Afterward, we walked up a small mountain at the back of the graveyard, which was a great experience. It was quiet and the air was refreshing, and at the end, there was a bell you could ring. In the graveyard, the peonies were in bloom. Additionally, we ran into a large troop of wild monkeys, that were eating fresh flowers from the graves. The monkeys were not afraid of people and you could see them at a very close distance. We also saw a wild honey badger. The area itself is also very beautiful. Would absolutely recommend.

(Translated by Google) History of over 830 years. In the precincts of Myoun-ji Temple, an ancient temple of the Rinzai sect, various types of peonies are blooming in red, pink, purple, white, and yellow 𑁍𓏸𓈒 Myounji's Peony Festival was safe and I made it in time 💦 Held from May 8th to May 31st Apparently there is also a matcha tea ceremony on Saturdays and Sundays! 2024.5.23 (Thu) 8:28 (Original) 830年以上の歴史。持つ臨済宗の古刹.妙雲寺の境内に赤、ピンク、紫、白、黄色様々な種類のボタンが咲き誇っています𑁍𓏸𓈒 妙雲寺のぼたんまつり、滑り込みセーフで間に合いました💦 5月8日～31日迄開催です 土日は抹茶席もあるようですよ！ 2024.5.23(木)8:28

(Translated by Google) I went there because the Peony Festival had started, but unfortunately, most of the flowers were still in bud and not in bloom. So I plan to visit again during the event. As for the location, it had a very clean atmosphere. (Original) ぼたんまつりが始まったので行って来たのですが、残念ながらほとんどつぼみのままで咲いてませんでした。なので開催期間中に、再度訪れようと思います。場所的には、とても清らかな雰囲気のとこでした。

(Translated by Google) There was a small waterfall and a big cedar tree, which was very relaxing. I walked to a little higher in the temple grounds, but it seems there are good views from there. (Original) 小さな滝や大きな杉があったりと心癒されました。境内の少し上の方まで歩いて行きましたが、そこからもっと上には見晴らしのよい場所などがあるようです。

(Translated by Google) When Golden Week begins, Myounji Temple's Peony Festival begins. Park your car at the free municipal parking lot and pay 500 yen at the entrance of the shrine grounds. The peonies are already in full bloom. After praying at the main hall and dedicating 300 yen of votive tablets to protect against evil spirits, climb the stone steps of the Peony Garden while enjoying the cool breeze full of negative ions from Tokoraku Falls to the left of the main hall. The peonies that Mr. Danka had painstakingly cultivated continued all the way to the cemetery, and when we came down after praying at Heikezuka, which is associated with Myoun-ji Temple, the water was flowing through the grounds, and the thatch and wisteria were also beautiful. It was a nice walk with the refreshing May sun and the faint scent of flowers. (Original) ゴールデンウィークが開けたら妙雲寺のぼたんまつりです。市営の無料駐車場に車を停め、境内の入口で500円払います。ぼたん既に見頃です。本堂にお参りして、厄落としの絵馬300円を奉納したら、本堂左の常楽の滝のマイナスイオンたっぷりの涼風に吹かれ、牡丹園の石段を登ります。檀家さんが丹精込めて育てた牡丹は墓地まで続き、妙雲寺ゆかりの平家塚にお参りして下って来ると、境内を遣り水が流れ、躑躅と藤も風情があり綺麗でした。爽やかな五月晴れとかすかな花の香りに良い散策となりました。

(Translated by Google) Myounji Temple is full of things to see. In addition to ``Joraku Falls,'' which I was most looking forward to, there are other temples that make me wish I had done more research before coming. The Japanese restaurant where we had lunch There is a Sanmon gate between Matsumoto-san's restaurant and Matsumoto-san's parking lot. Matsumoto-san's lunch is reasonably priced and delicious, so I highly recommend it. The following is a quote from Wikipedia. This is the origin of Myoun Zenni in the early Kamakura period. Zenni Myoun is said to be the younger sister of Shigemori Taira, and after the defeat in the Genpei War, she fled to this area and built a hermitage, which is the origin of this temple. The main image of Shaka Nyorai is called Taira no Shigemori's Nenjibutsu. The area around Shiobara was burnt down during the Boshin War, but this temple was able to avoid being destroyed. Main Hall - March 31, 1993 Designated as a tangible cultural property by Nasu-Shiobara City Palace - March 31, 1993 Designated as a tangible cultural property by Nasu-Shiobara City The interior of the main hall is divided into an outer hall where the general public worships and an inner hall where Buddhist statues are placed, and a palace is located within the inner hall.

It looks like Fukushima prefecture is at the end of the bridge, but I've never been there. (Original) 深山ダムは、栃木県でも奥深い所にあるダムでダムの天端道路を追加して道なりに進んで行くと写真の通行止めの橋に辿り着きます。橋の先には福島県になる様ですが行けた事が有りません。

(Translated by Google) Miyama Dam Park is located casually on top of Miyama Dam.

My wife told me, but do you have good memories? (Original) 深山ダムの上にさりげなくある深山ダム園地。山菜取りに行く人以外はなかなか来ないような場所ではありますが、深山ダムを見下ろせる景色になります。昔、ここからの風景を油絵に描いたことがありました。妻からは・・・と言われましたが、良い思い出です？

(Translated by Google) Park in the plaza next to the dam and walk up some stairs to the top of the mountain. You can see the dam. There is also a small rest area where you can sit and eat.

When you go to the back, there is a small memorial stone with the names of those who lost their lives in the construction of the dam written on it.

Feeding fishes is love

Good

(Translated by Google) 2025.5 This shrine is located on the grounds of the villa where General Nogi lived after the Sino-Japanese War. I have visited Nogi Shrine in Tokyo several times, but this is my first time here. Unfortunately, the villa where General Nogi lived was burned down twice in suspicious fires. The current building is a reconstruction. General Nogi is represented in various forms, including paintings, photographs, and statues. General Nogi had a gentle appearance as a soldier, and has a gentle image of showing samurai compassion to his enemies in real life as well. However, he was not good at war, and two of his own children were killed in the Russo-Japanese War under his command. He also served as the president of Gakushuin University, and excelled in both literature and martial arts. There is a villa behind the shrine, but it was burned down in a suspicious fire and is now a reconstruction. [Deities] Nogi Maresuke, Nogi Shizuko [History] Emperor Meiji passed away on July 30, 1912, and on the night of September 13, when his funeral took place, the couple repaid the Emperor Meiji's blessing by committing suicide. On the day of the funeral of the Shogun and his wife, which was held at Aoyama Funeral Hall, local residents who remembered their virtues held a distant worship ceremony at their villa. At the ceremony, Tezuka Genki, the chief priest of Otawara Shrine, who later became the first chief priest of Nogi Shrine, proposed the founding of a shrine to enshrine the spirit of the Shogun as a god of earthly virtue, and with overwhelming support from those in attendance, the decision was made to establish the shrine. August 28, 1914 A proposal to establish a shrine was submitted June 16, 1915 Permission given by the Minister of the Interior: "The shrine should be considered a prefectural shrine" March 6, 1916 The main hall and worship hall were completed April 12, 1916 The deity was transported by train from the main residence and enshrined at 8pm April 13 Grand ceremony held to celebrate the enshrinement (Original) 2025.5 日清戦争後に乃木将軍が閑居した別邸の敷地内にある神社。 東京の乃木神社は何度か参拝していますがこちらは初めてです。 残念ながら乃木将軍が暮らしていた別邸は2度の不審火で焼失しています。現在建っているのは復元されたものです。 絵や写真、像など色々な形で乃木将軍があります。 乃木将軍は軍人としては風貌が優しげであり、実際にも敵にも武士の情をかけるような優しいイメージ。ただ戦争は下手でご自身の指揮のもと実子のお二人も日露戦争で亡くされています。 また学習院の学長も務められた文武とも秀でた方でした。 神社裏手に別宅がありますが、不審火などによる焼失で現在は復元された建物となります。 【御祭神】 乃木希典命、乃木静子命 【由緒】 明治45年7月30日明治天皇が崩御され、そのご大葬が行われた9月13日夜、ご夫妻は殉死を以て明治天皇のご聖恩に報いられました。 青山葬儀場で行われた将軍ご夫妻の葬儀当日、ご遺徳を偲ぶ地元の住民は別邸において遙拝式を斎行しました。その場で後に乃木神社初代宮司となる大田原神社の手塚元氣宮司は、将軍の神霊を土徳の神として祀る神社の創立を提議し、参列者の絶大な賛同を得て神社創立が決定しました。 大正3年8月28日 神社創立の議を提出 大正4年6月16日 内務大臣より許可「社格ハ県社ト心得ヘシ」 大正5年3月6日 本殿、拝殿が竣功 大正5年4月12日 ご神霊が本邸より列車でご動座、夜8時にご鎮座 4月13日 鎮坐奉祝大祭斎行

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine on Sunday. A beautiful stream flows through the grounds, which feels very cool. The main hall is relatively new and modern. Behind it stands the restored villa of General Nogi, surrounded by trees and a pond, which gives the impression of being a place of relaxation for local people. Taking a stroll amongst the green trees was a very pleasant experience. (Original) 日曜日に拝殿させていただきました。 綺麗な小川が流れており、とても涼しげに感じられます。比較的に新しいのか、近代的な本殿でした。裏手には、乃木将軍の復元された別邸が建立し、樹木や池に囲まれており、地域の方の憩いの場になっているような気がしました。 緑の樹木の中を散歩すると、とても気持ち良く感じられました。

(Translated by Google) The road leading away from the shrine is now residential on both sides, but I imagine that in the past, people probably glided along this road on horseback. First, there's a cute duck at the temizuya (water purification fountain). Behind the main shrine, there's a mountain path you can walk around, which is very cool. Ducks and carp welcome you in the swamp. It's not the prettiest swamp, but the green water is nutrient-rich. There are several types of goshuin (temple stamps), and one type (1,000 yen) can be written in your goshuin book. The others cost 500-1,000 yen. There is parking, toilets, and vending machines available. (Original) 神社から延びる一本道、今は左右住宅街だけど、おそらく昔はこの道を馬で滑走してたんじゃないかしらと想像しながら。 まず、手水舎がかわいいアヒル。 本殿裏はぐるっと山道散歩できるようになっていてすごく涼しい。 沼ではアヒルと鯉がお出迎え。けして綺麗な沼ではないけど、栄養たっぷりなグリーンウォーター。 御朱印は数種類あり、御朱印帳に書き入れ可能なのは1種類（千円） 他も500円〜1000円 駐車場、トイレ、自販機あり。

(Translated by Google) This shrine commemorates General Nogi, who, during a period during the Meiji era, left the military to work as a farmer in this area, and enshrines the shogun and his wife. The shogun later returned to his duties and became a hero of the Russo-Japanese War, and committed suicide after the death of Emperor Meiji. In the shrine's treasure museum, you can see a photograph of the shogun's expression, which reveals a gentleness hidden within his stern demeanor. Nogi Shrine is still beloved by many, and continues to draw many visitors. The grounds are lined with illustrations of General Nogi, a wide variety of fortune-telling slips, and information on Shichi-Go-San pilgrimages, creating a friendly atmosphere. Behind the grounds is Nogi Park, and General Nogi's former residence remains on the banks of Shizu-numa Pond. (Original) 明治時代の一時期、軍を離れてこの地で営農に勤しんでいた乃木将軍を追悼し、将軍夫妻を祀る神社。 その後復職した将軍は日露戦争の英雄となり、明治天皇の崩御の後、殉死を遂げることになります。 神社の宝物館で見る将軍の写真には、厳しい中にも優しさを秘めた表情が見受けられます。 今も多くの人に慕われ、参拝者の絶えない乃木神社。境内には乃木将軍のイラストや多種多様なおみくじ、七五三詣りの案内なども並んでいて、親しみやすい雰囲気もあります。 境内裏には乃木公園があり、静沼のほとりに乃木将軍の旧宅も残されています。

(Translated by Google) I didn't have much time, so I went for a walk before checking out and moving to my room. It's quite far away. It's a secular shrine, but it's fun. I was able to get a fortune even before the sales counter opened at 9am. There were only 300 yen ones with a free gift, so they were expensive. I also donated 5 million ryo. (Original) 時間がないので部屋移動チェックアウト前に散歩してきました。地味に距離あります。 俗に傾いた神社ですが、かえって楽しいです。 9時の売り場オープン前でもおみくじは引けました。おまけ付きの300円のやつしかなくて高い。 他に500万両も寄進してきました。

Cross the suspension bridge and reached to the top to see the beauty of Mikaeri Falls

(Translated by Google) I arrived before 6am There are two stairs to go down, a steep staircase and a smooth staircase. I went down by the sliding stairs. Is it because it's morning? The suspension bridge didn't have any special features and it was a beautiful scenery. eagle? hawk? was on the railing of the bridge, and I felt like I was in the middle of a mountain. I was so tired from the steep stairs on my way home. If you are confident in your legs and hips, go for it. (Original) 朝6時前に着きました 降りる階段は2箇所有り、急階段と滑らかな階段 降りるのは滑ら階段で降りました 朝だからかな？吊橋は特に特徴が有る訳でもなく綺麗な風景でした 鷲？鷹？が橋の手すりに居て、なにか山の中って感じをしました 帰り急階段、すっごく疲れました 足腰に自信が有る方はどうぞ

(Translated by Google) We were able to view the waterfall from below while taking a canoe experience. It was a beautiful waterfall that reflected the green of the trees. (Original) カヌー体験にて滝を下から眺める事ができました。木々の緑が映えて美しい滝でした。

(Translated by Google) I visited here on the recommendation of the Shiobara Dam Management Office. You can see it immediately after crossing the suspension bridge, but the gentle path was closed and the only way to get there was via the steep course. The distance is short, so it's easy for those with no worries about their legs or back. (Original) 塩原ダム管理事務所の方の勧めで訪れました。 吊り橋を渡ってすぐ見られますが、緩い道が閉鎖していて、急坂コースからのみになっていました。 距離は短いので、足腰に不安が無い方なら簡単です。

(Translated by Google) There are two courses to get down to the suspension bridge. Gentle course and steep course The gentle course is an old road that is detoured and not well maintained. The handrails were rotten and it was surprisingly difficult to walk on. The steep course descends all at once to a stream, so it's quite steep, but I felt safer on this route as it had solid iron pipe handrails and paved steps under my feet. Free parking. Waterfalls and suspension bridges are also free. There is a toilet in the parking lot. I want to come during the autumn leaves season! (Original) 吊橋まで降りるコースはふたつ。 なだらかコースと急コース なだらかコースは遠回りであまり整備されていない旧道。手すりも朽ちていたり、意外と歩きにくい。 急なコースは、一気に沢まで降りるので、かなり急だけど、鉄パイプの手すりもしっかりついていて、足元も舗装された階段になっているので、こちらの方が安心だった。 駐車場無料。滝や吊橋も無料。駐車場にトイレあり。 紅葉の時期に来てみたい！

(Translated by Google) Visited on December 31st, and the leisurely course appears to be currently closed to traffic. So, choose one course for good legs. Although the drop is steep, it only takes about 20 minutes round trip to reach the Meiji no Taki Observation Deck, so it's not too tiring. Compared to the Great Suspension Bridge, this one has a more natural scenery, and best of all, it's free. I went during a gust of wind, so the bridge was shaking and it was quite a thrill. However, it seems safe to carry 360 people, so don't worry. (Original) 12/31に訪問、ゆったりコースは現在通行禁止の様。なので、健脚コース１択。 落差は激しいが回顧の滝展望台までなら、ゆっくり見ても往復20分程度、そんなに疲れない。 大吊橋と比べるとこちらは自然を感じさせる景観、何より無料。 突風吹き荒ぶ時に行ったので橋が揺れてかなりのスリル感。 でも360人が乗っても大丈夫らしいので安心。

(Translated by Google) The suspension bridge shakes and is thrilling, but if you go to Nasu, you can't miss this place. I recommend forest bathing during this time of fresh greenery, but I'm sure the autumn leaves will also be beautiful. The suspension bridge is also free and I like being able to enjoy nature. (Original) 吊り橋が揺れてスリリングですが、那須へ行くならここは外せないです。 新緑のこの時期も森林浴が楽しめてオススメですが、紅葉も綺麗なんだろうなと思います。 吊り橋も無料で、自然が楽しめるのが好きです。
