Jozankei Gensen Park is near the Jozankei Onsen district and is a nice little spot for a walk and a rest. Its most distinctive feature is the free footbath. When your feet get tired, you can sit down and soak them in the warm hot spring water. It feels so warm and comfortable, especially in cold weather!

Nezameya
Nezameya, located right next to a torii gate at the entrance of Fushimi Inari Taisha's rear path, has been serving food since 1540. Its name is said to have been given by the famous Toyotomi Hideyoshi. While visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha to pray for his mother's health, Hideyoshi sought a place to rest. This establishment, open early in the morning, was the only available option. Pleased with being able to enjoy tea, Hideyoshi named the eatery “Nezameya,” inspired by his wife’s name, Ne-Ne.
NEZAMEYA—I ordered inari sushi and eel rice this time. It was a simple meal, but very satisfying! The tofu pockets around the inari sushi had a sweet flavor and were filled with fragrant vinegared rice. They were easy to eat in one bite, with just the right balance of sweet and savory.
The eel rice was another highlight of the meal. The grilled eel was fragrant, with a slightly charred aroma on the surface. The fish was tender, and it tasted better and better with the piping-hot white rice underneath!

Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm
At the base of the majestic Mount Yotei lies a vast ranch, nestled in the beautiful and bountiful natural environment of Niseko. Here, with a commitment to quality soil and grass cultivation, dairy cows are meticulously reared. The process is comprehensive, spanning from the nurturing of the cows to the production of fresh milk products.
At Takahashi Dairy Farm, of course you can’t miss the farm’s popular treats! This time, I got a milk ice cream cone. It was full of rich milky flavor from the first bite, but it wasn’t too heavy and went down very smoothly.
The ice cream had a dense, smooth texture, and the rich milk flavor slowly spread through my mouth. You could taste the natural creaminess in every bite. Eating it at the farm, surrounded by pastoral scenery, made it feel even more like a relaxing vacation.
