Wow, staying at Kararako was such a luxurious yet understated experience! They even have a beauty salon. The best part was the restaurant, supervised by the Michelin-starred Kyoto chef from Higashiyama Yoshihisa. You really have to stay here at least once!

The hot springs here are right by a lush, natural stream valley. Since this area is also known as a hidden onsen gem, you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every season—and soak in the annex hot spring too ♨️ It’s a “beauty bath,” so your skin feels great!

I love hot spring inns like this, surrounded by nature and forest. The open-air baths, guest rooms, and lounge all look out onto the woods. The hot spring here is 100% natural, and it's famous for boosting circulation and making your skin feel amazing!

So comfortable! The staff were super friendly. The hotel has a quiet, luxurious vibe, and the rooms are spacious and cozy. There's a large public bath and a garden with a Kyoto feel. The breakfast buffet had so many options—I was really satisfied!

Kumano Shrine is famous for blessings of good luck and relationships. The most unique thing here is that you can touch the two-headed sacred snake to pray for love and safety. You can also wash your money here for good fortune—it's really special!

Aikido is a great experience for women—it's a martial art that doesn't rely on brute strength. It really helps you feel healthy and happy, both physically and mentally. I highly recommend it for women to try!

Kaga Yuzen is all about hand-dyeing, just like painting a picture! Even if you're not confident in your drawing skills, you can make a beautiful original handkerchief, kind of like coloring in a book. It only takes about 60 minutes to finish one. Such a great experience!

The bright colors and patterns on the kimono are one of Kanazawa's traditional crafts. Here, you can learn about how they're made, watch live demonstrations, and shop for products. The best part is, if you book in advance, you can join in on these hands-on activities. Highly recommended!

You can try out and learn traditional Kaga-nui embroidery here! I made a DIY keychain, hair accessory, and some other cute little items. I picked up lots of new techniques and ended up with some beautiful decorations. The embroidery process was smooth and really enjoyable—highly recommend!

They offer all kinds of healthy drinks made with vinegar. Thanks to the local climate, Fukuyama is a great place for brewing black vinegar.
