Colorful Town Gifu
A massive shopping center run by Toyota Automall Development Corp., located in Yanaizu-cho, Gifu City. The main attraction here is the“Automall”, a showroom of automobiles from Toyota and Daihatsu, along with movie theaters and 130 specialty stores for fashion, house décor, food, culture and more.
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
It is the head shrine of about 30,000 Inari shrines which are traditionally familiar throughout Japan and the god is worshiped for bountiful harvests of grain, business prosperity, the safety of households, recovery from illness, and wish fulfillment. This shrine was established in 711 AD.
Took advantage of a quiet moment to snap some photos while there was no one around.
