Colorful Town Gifu
A large shopping center in Yanaizu-cho, Gifu City, operated by the Toyota Group. Its standout feature is the Auto Mall, which brings together five Toyota and Daihatsu new-car dealerships under one roof alongside around 130 specialty stores, restaurants, cultural facilities, and a movie theater.
Thanks to Toyota, there are lots of newly released cars on display here.
Koshu Yume Kouji
"Koshu Yume Kouji" was born as a new landmark in Yamanashi. It is a reproduction of castle town of Kofu during the Meiji to early Showa era and is full of the atmosphere of ‟Little Edo”.
The shops here are lined up in an old-fashioned architectural style, giving off a really nostalgic, retro vibe.
Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park)
This vast park was established on the former site of the Nagakute site of the Expo 2005, a World Expo held in Aichi. The building, which was used as a guesthouse and reception hall during the exposition, has been converted into the Expo 2005 Memorial Hall, where more than 300 items donated by foreign pavilions are on display. Those who actually visited the Expo back then will feel nostalgic.
I'm so excited for the opening of the Ghibli theme park!
Fushimi Inari Taisha
The head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines found throughout Japan, Fushimi Inari Taisha is worshiped for blessings including abundant harvests, business prosperity, household safety, recovery from illness, and the fulfillment of wishes. It was founded in 711. Its best-known attraction is the Senbon Torii, a tunnel-like pathway of vermilion torii gates behind the main shrine.
Took advantage of a quiet moment to snap some photos while there was no one around.
