Summer in Japan can truly be hot and humid but what can make it bearable is visiting sunflower fields. One of the best places to enjoy the view of hundreds, if not thousands, of sunflowers is Himawari Village ひまわり村 located in Tsubata City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Every year, dozens of volunteers come to plant sunflower seeds to create a flower maze for people to enjoy in the summer. Talk about a great community activity!

#getgoing2025 I was thoroughly impressed by the buffet breakfast at The Garden House restaurant. The extensive selection featured both Western and Japanese dishes, including unique offerings like clam chowder and a variety of pickles. A standout was the hotel's signature "fu" French toast, prepared fresh at the live kitchen station. The quality and variety of the food were exceptional, making it one of the best breakfasts I experienced during my trip in Japan. The attentive staff and pleasant ambiance further enhanced the dining experience, setting a positive tone for the rest of the day.

#getgoing2025 Stayed overnight while in Kanazawa between Kyoto and Tokyo. Nice hotel, maybe a bit overpriced, but location is great for the train. Was able to walk over and drop off our luggage before going out to explore the city. Spoke English very well and were very helpful with making a reservation. Lobby is very nice, were a little annoyed that we had to pay a cover for the relatively empty bars upstairs even though we were guests at the hotel, but maybe thats standard in Japan.

Japan Automobile Museum or Old Car Museum is located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Chiba City. This museum is the oldest automobile museum in Japan, located in Ishikawa Prefecture, Chiba. Originally, it belonged to Mr. Shoso Maeda, who collected his own cars. Later, he collected more cars, which eventually became a museum. The building of the museum is in a European style, built since the Meiji period. The museum's documents state that there are almost 500 cars here, from the 1900s (Meiji 34) to the 1970s (Showa 45). Inside, there are old cars from before the war that did not have engines but were pulled by people, which we have only seen in dramas, but these are real, European cars used during the war, strange cars, beautiful luxury cars, historical cars, but the car that everyone must come to see is the Rolls Royce that Princess Diana rode in when she visited Japan. There are also tuk-tuks from Thailand... tuk-tuks use Daihatsu engines... It is exciting that our tuk-tuks are also in a museum in Japan. In fact, in Chiba, there are many other interesting tourist attractions. And it is also a place that the tour may not take you to. If you are interested, try to find information and travel together. Traveling by car is probably more convenient. But for us, this time was so much fun that in addition to visiting beautiful views, we also got to visit rare museums. #TravelAbroad#travel

Missing Hokkaido, encountering the love and cravings of the city of Nanzhaocheng southerners, the northerners will never understand. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the winter hotel discount for the recovery after the earthquake in Hokkaido, so I arranged the itinerary to the mountains and Toyama, in order to see the village of Hezhang, which was crushed by snow. From Fushan to the World Heritage Wuyi Mountain, you must take a ride. You can take the Kaohsiung World Heritage Site for free on the Hokuriku Takayama JR Pass (no first-come-first-served reservation). This vehicle can directly reach the Hezhang Village of Wuyi Mountain and Hezhang Village of Baichuan Township. The correct way to open is to take the Tokuyama / Kanazawa Takaoka Train Station and change it to Kagawa, Takaoka, Takayama, Mt. But Sophie likes to take the train and thinks that it is smart to think that it is possible to shorten the time from the Gaogang train station to the city end and then change the time. Unfortunately, the Hokuriku Takayama JR Pass does not support the city line. The ticket is added and there is no place to go to Wuyi Mountain on the bus stop on Sunday. The next shift is too long, so I plan to visit Shijo-cho. But unexpectedly harvested the secret of the Northland Snow. The quiet town, the young boy running in the snow with shorts and shorts, the house covered with snow and the white smog after hanging, no matter how the composition is, it is a beautiful scenery.

Japans pottery history has a long history, so its the first time its so close to watch and make it yourself. In the pottery hall, the teacher personally taught the production process, and the technique was exquisite, but I was trembled, which may be a sense of alienation from the new craft. In fact, the clay is much stronger than I expected. After half an hour, I saw a special appearance and left a special surprise. I look forward to the moment when I mailed back to China. , , The unique pottery artist will also make a pottery dish every year to record the theme of the year, romantic but yet cute. Artisan spirit, here, expressed in an intimate yet temperature-free form.
