Enjoy the Edo period atmosphere at Hanyu SA (upbound)

#EnjoyJapan I stopped off at Hanyu SA (inbound) on the Tohoku Expressway! There is an area called "Onihei Edodokoro" that recreates the streets of Edo, and it really feels like you've traveled back in time to the Edo period! I was impressed by the attention to detail in the structure of the buildings, signs, and even the lanterns... It was fun to take photos, and the food menu had a real Edo feel to it, making a break during your trip all the more enjoyable! ⸻ Basic Info Hanyu Parking Area (upbound) / Onihei Edo-dokoro Location: 1686 Miroku Goken, Hanyu City, Saitama Prefecture Access: On the Tohoku Expressway (upbound) heading towards Tokyo Features: SA where you can enjoy Edo-period townscapes like a set for a period drama / Full of gourmet food and souvenirs ⸻ English Summary Stopped at Hanyu SA (upbound) on the Tohoku Expressway — it’s themed like an Edo-period town called “Onihei Edo-dokoro”.
