In Himi city, Toyama prefecture, you can encounter the world of Fujiko Fujio. In the shopping district near the station, there is Manga Road with its Ninja Hattori-kun and other objects, which can be enjoyed by both adults and children, so it's fun to take your time walking around the town and take photos. My personal favorites are the postbox and Fukuzo Moguro's Smile Bench. #FreeSpot

📅 Travel Itinerary Day 1: Kanazawa Day 2: Himi City, Takaoka Day 3: Toyama 🏨 Accommodation: JAL City Toyama 🍴 Food Spots: Uogashi Shokudo, Himi Fishing Port Fish Market Restaurant 📌 Useful Information: Kanazawa City is compact, so you can enjoy it all in one day.

I recommend renting a car to get around.

Discovered a hidden gem of an activity! You don't have to go to Sri Lanka to let your kids experience a dreamy seaside little train! On this trip to Amaharashi Coast, what the kids remembered most wasn't Mount Fuji, but the colorful little train that slowly chugged along the blue coastline with a "clack-clack" sound! Paired with a cozy hot spring inn stay, this journey was full of the romance and healing vibes straight out of an animated film. 🎨 How to turn a train ride into an art education class for kids? This train itself is a toy and a work of art! Train treasure hunt: The JR Himi Line trains have at least 3 different painted themes (Doraemon, retro carriages, etc.). Waiting with your little one and collecting "how many different colored trains you see" is super fun. Sound map: Let your child close their eyes and listen to the sound of waves, the friction between the train and tracks, the wind, and the station's "ding ding ding" bell, creating a sound memory of the trip. Photography initiation: Give your child an old phone or a kids' camera, and let them freely capture the sea, rocks, and flying birds through the train window. 🚉 Not just Amaharashi Station! These small stations also hold surprises If you have a rail pass, you can totally enjoy a spontaneous "station hopping" trip. Shimao Station: There is a small seaside park with fewer people and wide-open views, perfect for a quiet picnic (if you don’t mind the cold). Himi Station: The final stop. Inside the station, there is a huge Doraemon manga wall and souvenir shop. You can exit the station to visit Himi Fishing Port Market and experience the local lifestyle. Stamp collecting: Many stations offer free travel commemorative stamps. Bring a small notebook for your child to collect stamps as treasured travel mementos. 👨‍👩‍👧 My "Train + Hot Spring" deep relaxation itinerary • Morning: Depart from Takaoka Station on a favorite painted train. Don’t get off at Amaharashi Station; ride directly to the final stop, Himi Station. • Noon: Enjoy an authentic seafood lunch near Himi Station. • Afternoon: Take the return train and get off at Amaharashi Station for an in-depth visit. After seeing Mount Fuji, you don’t have to wait long before catching the next train back to Takaoka. • Evening: Stay at a hot spring hotel in Takaoka or Himi, wash away the chill in a hot bath, and enjoy a delicious kaiseki dinner. 🛋️ Healing accommodation recommendations: Onyado Nono Takaoka Onsen: A modern Japanese-style business hot spring hotel, excellently located right in front of Takaoka Station. The natural hot spring large bath is very relaxing and offers great value. Himi Villa Choon: A private villa-style accommodation with stunning sea views, perfect for families renting the whole place, featuring a kitchen and living room with flexible space. Amaharashi-kan: The closest Japanese inn to Amaharashi Coast. Although the facilities are older, it has a strong nostalgic atmosphere. Some rooms face the sea directly, truly the "front row seat." 🎒 Pre-trip checklist: Transport apps: Download "Transfer Guide" and Google Maps in advance. Warmth essentials: Heat packs, thermos (hot water available at stations and on trains), neck warmer. Snacks and toys: Prepare some small snacks, sticker books, or picture books to pass time on the train. Camera battery: Make sure your phone and camera are fully charged; there are too many beautiful scenes along the way to stop shooting!

Say hello to Moutiers-au-Perche 🇫🇷🌳—a hidden slice of Normandy countryside perfect for slow travel, chill vibes, and unforgettable backdrops. The coolest part? Think wide-open meadows, fresh-air hikes, and surprise photo ops (the local cartoon art installation is an Instagram dream) with rolling hills fading into the horizon. It’s a whole new level of “get-outside” energy! Top Spots to Visit: 1. The Cartoon Figure Meadow: Snap a pic like a pro in front of the quirky cartoon statue—clear sky, green grass, and those soothing Perche hills. It’s easy to find right near the main road (check Google Maps for ‘Cartoon Meadow, Moutiers-au-Perche’) and best visited around midday for blue-sky lighting. 2. Himi Port-Inspired Eats: OK, so you won’t actually find Japanese seafood in this French village, but channel Himi vibes by grabbing ultra-fresh local trout from the Marché du Terroir. It’s open Saturdays (Address: Place de la Mairie, 61400; morning until 1pm). 3. Scenic Alpine Walks: Perche isn’t the Alps, but you CAN catch dreamy hilltop views by hiking the Circuit du Patrimoine (trailhead near the village church). Bring a picnic and enjoy local cheese with sweeping farmland panoramas. Travel Tips: - Getting Around: Local buses from Nogent-le-Rotrou, but renting a bike or car (use trip.com for bookings and routes) gets you more freedom. - Food: Don’t skip the bakery—try a fresh tarte aux pommes from Boulangerie Langlois (Route de Rémalard, open 7am–6pm except Sunday). - Cash: Bring euros; many small shops are cash-only. - Weather: Sunny days are epic for photos (especially outdoor installations and open meadows). #FrenchCountryside #NormandyTrails #MoutiersAuPerche #HiddenFrance #TripComTravel

Highlights of the itinerary: Experience the extreme freshness of the Ice-Mide Fish Market, taste the winter-exclusive cold sturgeon, and try the local-exclusive delicacy of white shrimp. Capture the beautiful photos of indoor Japanese food and feel the atmosphere of Japanese fishing port life from a distance! A must-visit experience at the Ice-Mei Fish Market This time we focus on the Hyoumi Fish Market, authentic local breakfast recommendations, definitely not as simple as just a bowl of "seafood rice bowl". This is the place where fishermen auction their catch in the morning, and the only restaurant in the Hyomi Fish Market is caught on the day, killed and cut, especially in December, the cold amberjack is in peak season, melting in the mouth, rich in oil, every bite is fresh and sweet! The menu usually includes sashimi platter, sturgeon sushi, grilled items, etc. Most of the shops have a bit of an old-fashioned Japanese atmosphere, the table seats are clean and comfortable, and the photos are excellent. Eat enough to take a walk around the market, the shop is full of fishing nets and catch signs A must-try recommendation for sashimi of cold sturgeon Hyomi specialty cold sturgeon is plump in winter, but be sure to find a shop that says "locally caught" to feel the invincible sweetness and tenderness in the mouth. The menu usually sees "sashimi of anchovies", "anchovy sushi" and "squid thinly sliced". I highly recommend trying the sashimi platter, served with freshly ground mustard from the market. A local delicacy - white shrimp In addition to amberjack, there is also an authentic delicacy called "white shrimp", which is extremely difficult to eat abroad. It was a very mini white shrimp, surprisingly. Restaurant recommendations 📍Hyomi Fish Market Address: 1-1 Chuo-cho, Himi-shi, Toyama Prefecture Opening hours: 06:00-14:00 (morning is recommended for the freshest catch) Indoor food photo tips Most restaurants in the market are softly lit, suitable for shooting colorful sashimi and sushi. It is recommended to use a little natural light to focus on the oiliness of the fish meat, or you can put the menu on the desktop into the camera to create a textured food blockbuster. Practical tips 1. December is the peak season for cold sturgeon. Many restaurants have limited supply. It is recommended to inquire in advance. 2. Fish market seating is limited and you may have to queue on holidays. 3 It is recommended to wear warm clothes, even if it is colder indoors. Transportation information The nearby parking is spacious and driving is very convenient. #Hyomi Food Notes #Winter Limited Amber #Local Food Exploration #Toyama Trip #New Experience at Japanese Fishing Port #Hyo Mian Fishing Market

#CommentCircle Himi Beach Recommended as a tourist spot in Toyama Prefecture

Enjoy the bounty of the sea at Himi Fishing Port, a natural fish tank 🐟 An exquisite trip to Toyama Bay Himi Fishing Port in Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, is a fishing port that is called a "natural fish tank" because more than 150 types of fish are landed throughout the seasons. It is a spot where you can enjoy the bounty of the sea with all your senses, such as watching the lively auction that starts at 6am and a restaurant where you can enjoy fresh seafood bowls ✨ When I actually visited, I was surprised by the bustle of the port and the freshness of the fish! The "Himi Pickled Chirashi Set Meal" I had at the wharf restaurant was a perfect combination of seafood pickled in sweet soy sauce and vinegared rice, making it a memorable dish for my trip 🍣 It is about a 20-minute walk from JR Himi Station, or about an 8-minute drive from Himi IC on the Noetsu Expressway 🚗 You can enjoy seafood gourmet with your partner, watch the morning auction alone, and of course there are many spots you can enjoy for free! It's also perfect for an absolutely free trip 🎉 Why not go on a trip to Himi Fishing Port to experience the sea and human activities? 🌊 #Domestic travel #Couple trip #Solo trip #Absolutely free trip #Toyama trip #Himi Fishing Port #Seafood gourmet #Morning auction experience #Natural fish tank #Absolutely free trip
