Oiwa Shrine
A historic shrine mentioned in the Hitachi no Kuni Fudoki, one of Japan’s oldest written records. Ritual artifacts from the late Jomon period have been excavated from Mt. Oiwa and the shrine grounds, and it is said to have been revered as a sacred place where deities dwell for Approx. 3,000 years.
Oiwa Shrine has such an incredible spiritual vibe. The moment I walked in, I instantly felt calm and quiet inside.
Palace Hotel Tokyo
This upmarket stay boasts one of Tokyo’s most memorable addresses: "1-1-1 Marunouchi”. With direct underground access from Otemachi Station and within easy walking distance from Tokyo Station, rooms here promise the utmost in ease and access whether staying for business or for play. Its prime setting overlooks the lush greenery of the Imperial Palace gardens and scenic moat waters.
Super close to Tokyo Station, so the location is really convenient, but it's not noisy at all. All the restaurants are top-notch, so you can have a great meal even if you don't feel like going out. 😌
Hotel Mahoroba
Set in the coveted Noboribetsu Onsen, one of Japan’s most renowned hot spring resorts formed by volcanic activity around 10,000 years ago, Hotel Mahoroba offers a luxurious retreat surrounded by lush mountain scenery.
The indoor and outdoor baths have such a great vibe! The open-air bath at night is especially relaxing. There are over 30 types of hot springs—you can soak until you feel like you're about to float away! 🤣
Lunch House Mitoya
Our diner has been around for a long time and is popular amongst students and businessmen. The stir-fried vegetable and meat in brown sauce meal set is the most popular item on the menu. For people who have a large appetite, we recommend the chicken cutlet meal set.
I had a meal here and thought the taste was okay, but nothing really stood out or wowed me.
Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter
The traditional streets of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter feature white walled warehouses, grid pattern walls, Namako-kabe, and rows of weeping trees, creating a beautiful and charming townscape. This harmonious and historic scenery is very popular with tourists.
If West Lake in Hangzhou is famous for its ancient Chinese riverside willows and boats, then the Kurashiki Bikan area is like a classic Japanese drama set. Every photo looks like a postcard—absolutely beautiful!
