Ouchi-juku Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
A Must Stop for all Travelers
Ōuchi-juku is a small village located in Aizu, Fukushima. This place is rich in history. It used be a rest stop for travelers during the Edo Period. Now, it has transformed into a very famous tourist spot. There are travelers from all over the world, eating soba and drinking ramune.
Ōuchi-juku is famous for their soba noodles and mochi. The pairing of these two dishes is considered as a feast. They also serve grilled freshwater trout, pickles, and much more!
Fukushima Old Village
#2024wish It's a sort of japanese postal or post town of the olden days. Basically a pit stop for merchants, travellers, nomads of the Edo period in Japan.
Houses lined up on both sides of a wide street - mostly providing food and accommodation. Now serving as a tourist attraction, these houses are preserved as exhibits or converted into restaurants and souvenirs shops.
It's a pleasant sight, nothing more than that to be honest. The surrounding area is just a town neighborhood. It would probably be more of a spectacle in the winter.
Ouchi Juku Old Village
Ouchi-juku is a former post town established around the 17th century and also registered as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings by the Japanese government. The streets lined with thatch-roofed houses are reminiscent of the Edo period , and displays showing the details of life in those times down to the utensils and hearths help visitors imagine what life was like during its heyday.

Oze National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
oze national park 🏞️ 🌺
#timetotravel
Located 150 kilometers north of Tokyo, Oze National Park is one of the closest national parks to the capital. The national park is a wonderful hiking destination centered around a large highland marshland, the Ozegahara Marsh.
Much of Oze remains snow-covered into May, but from late May to early June, the hiking season starts with a highlight: the blooming of the mizubasho flowers, known in English under the rather unfortunate name of skunk cabbage. The past winter saw more snow than usual, and the timing of the flowers was slightly delayed compared to the average year.
Feeling tired lately? These healing places are worth a visit
Go to a hot spring hotel and experience ultimate service.
📍Kumamoto
The misty hot springs, delicious food, can warm our bodies, while the gentle laughter and warm human feelings can warm our hearts. Why not take a warm and heartwarming trip to a luxurious hot spring hotel?
A large bamboo forest covering over 10,000 square meters, with tens of thousands of bamboo trees and hundreds of red leaves, is where the Asu Bamboo FUE is located in Kumamoto Prefecture. Each room has a uniquely designed private hot spring pool, allowing you to blend in with nature and leave behind all worldly troubles.
In all rooms, there is coffee and graphite. On a sunny afternoon in the bamboo forest, wearing a beloved yukata, grinding a cup of rich and fragrant coffee for oneself is truly delightful.
In addition to the private hot spring pool in the room, Bamboo FUE also has four different styles of rental hot spring pools: the Bamboo Forest Bath surrounded by bamboo leaves and red maples, the cave outdoor hot spring like a secret base, the Aono Bath accompanied by a mini waterfall, and the Sasabune Bath full of the fragrance of Japanese cypress.
Be healed by the blue at the seaside.
📍Kagoshima
Located in Kagoshima, Higashikagawa Beach is a dreamlike and irregularly appearing scenic white sand beach that can only be reached by boat or jet ski.
This is a stunning white sand beach known as the "phantom scenery" and rarely visited by tourists. To see it, you have to rely on luck completely - it only appears during specific periods of the year when there are several major ebb tides from spring to summer.
Clear and emerald sea water, sandy beaches with patterns resembling mountain ridges, and beautiful and dreamy star sand, this is nothing short of paradise. Although located at the southernmost tip of Kagoshima, it is also easily accessible from Okinawa. The official website of Ton Island will announce the low tide period, so remember to plan ahead.
Experience the natural grandeur of Mt. Osore.
📍Gunma
Located at the junction of Gunma, Niigata, Tochigi, and Fukushima prefectures, Oze National Park boasts the largest high-altitude wetland area in Japan. With magnificent scenery and rare views, it is truly a hidden treasure of nature.
And because of the vast territory and numerous landscapes here, it is difficult to see crowds of people, making it a good place to escape during the long holiday.
One of the most rare and precious landscapes in Waseda is the more than 400 shallow ponds scattered throughout the area, where rare wetland plants such as lotus and yellow sedge grow, forming a stunningly beautiful scenery. The entire area has been designated as a special natural monument.
The entire National Park can be roughly divided into three areas: the "Osawa area" with vast wetlands such as Osawa Hara and Osawa Numa, as well as famous peaks such as Foshan and Suigaku; the "Aizu-Jukai area" where you can see the blooming of the Shirakami cherry blossoms all over the wetlands near the summit of Mt. Jodake in Aizu; and the "Tashiroyama and Taishiyama area", where you can enjoy the famous mountain top wetlands of Tashiroyama and the colony of ferns. Different routes lead to different scenery.
Nikko Kaido Route Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Hanami Roads
#cherryblossom2024
The most beautiful road in Nikko
Cherry Blossom Alley was built for noble members of the Tokugawa clan on the way from Tokyo to Nikko. There are about 1,500 sakura trees, many small temples and shrines. Walking along the alley is a pleasure.
We recommend it
Enter the Tosegu Shrine
Visit Rinno-ji Temple and Futarasan-jinja Shrine
Drive to the Kagon Waterfall and Lake Chuzenji a few bus stops from the Tosegu Shrine
It is interesting
Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the road to be built in 1617 to ease the way to the Toshogu Shrine
Sakura trees grow for 16 kilometers along the road
How to get there
Buses run to Nikko district from Utsunomiya Railway Station. The trip will take about an hour and a half, depending on the traffic and the place where you decide to get off.
When to go there
In spring, during the cherry blossom season, the alley turns into a place of amazing beauty, wonderfully framing the entrances to the sanctuaries and temples of the Nikko district. In autumn, it is worth seeing the splendor of Cedar Avenue, intersecting with the alley.
On the pink path
Nikko Kaido Alley is considered one of the best places in Japan to admire sakura. The trees are densely planted along the road and create a real blooming tunnel above it. Sakura blossoms in Tochigi in early April — a little later than in Tokyo.
