When visiting Nagoya Castle, don't forget to stop by the nearby Kinshachi Yokocho! The food district has two areas: the Muneharu Zone outside the East Gate and the Yoshinao Zone outside the Main Gate, each with its own unique character. This time, I visited the Muneharu Zone. It's just across the street from Exit 7 of Shiyakusho subway station, so it's very convenient to get to. The streets have a strong Edo-period atmosphere, with local Nagoya cuisine, souvenirs, and specialty snacks. It's a great place to grab a bite and take a break after visiting Nagoya Castle. Stroll around, enjoy the food, and experience Nagoya's culinary appeal!

Himeji Castle
This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.
來到姬路城，終於親眼看到這座日本知名的世界遺產！一開始遠遠望去，就被它潔白又壯觀的外觀吸引住了，搭配晴朗的藍天，整個畫面真的很美。
姬路城又稱為「白鷺城」，因為城堡外牆潔白，整體造型就像白鷺展翅一樣優雅。近距離欣賞，更能看見一層層交錯的屋簷、精緻的建築細節，以及高高聳立的天守閣，完全展現日本古代城堡的特色。
原本以為只是來看看城堡、拍拍照片，實際站在城下欣賞，才真正感受到它的氣勢與歷史感。尤其在陽光照射下，白色城牆顯得格外耀眼，怎麼拍都好看！
不愧是日本代表性的名城，來到兵庫縣姬路市，這個景點真的不能錯過！

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connects Honshu and Awaji Island. It is known as the world's longest suspension bridge, with a total length of 3,911 meters and a distance of 1,991 meters between the two main towers. Together with the Onaruto Bridge, it connects the Kansai area to Shikoku, and is a popular tourist route.
這次來到舞子公園，最期待的就是近距離欣賞明石海峽大橋！還沒走到橋下，遠遠就能看到這座橫跨海面的巨大吊橋，實際站在眼前時，真的覺得比想像中還要壯觀，忍不住一直拿起相機拍照，怎麼取景都好看！
明石海峽大橋又有「珍珠橋（Pearl Bridge）」的美麗暱稱，連結本州與淡路島，是世界知名的長跨距懸索吊橋。
高聳的橋塔、延伸至遠方的鋼索，搭配一望無際的海景，整個畫面非常有氣勢。尤其站在橋下往上看，更能感受到它驚人的規模。
當天一邊欣賞大橋，一邊吹著海風，感覺特別舒服。看著船隻從橋下經過，海面與橋身交織成漂亮的風景，讓人不自覺想多停留一會兒。
這座橋不只是連接本州與淡路島的重要交通建設，也是神戶非常具有代表性的地標。來到舞子公園，真的很推薦安排時間好好欣賞，親眼感受這座世界級吊橋的魅力！

Maiko Park
Maiko Park opened in 1900 as the first prefectural park in Hyogo Prefecture. This park also serves as a gate for Akashi Kaikyo Bridge or “Pearl Bridge,” the world’s longest suspension bridge, attracting many tourists from Japan and abroad.
On this visit to Maiko Park in Kobe, what I was looking forward to most was seeing the world-famous Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in person! After getting off at JR Maiko Station, you can reach the park by walking across the pedestrian bridge, so it’s really convenient.
It wasn’t until I actually walked up to the bridge that I realized it was even more spectacular than I had imagined! The enormous bridge stretches across the sea, with the long suspension bridge extending far into the distance. Looking up at it from underneath, you can’t help but marvel at what humans are capable of building.
That day, I took a leisurely walk along the coast, admiring the bridge and feeling the sea breeze. With the vast ocean view in front of me and the sound of the waves in my ears, the whole setting felt very relaxing. It didn’t have the noise and bustle of the city, giving it a much more laid-back and carefree atmosphere.
If you have time, I highly recommend walking along the Marine Promenade. You can enjoy views of the Akashi Strait from different angles and experience the unique feeling of walking on the bridge.
This is truly a great place to slow down and appreciate the beautiful scenery. Rather than rushing to take photos and check in, I preferred feeling the sea breeze, looking out at the ocean, and enjoying the relaxed pace unique to Kobe’s waterfront.
