At Tojo Lake, centered around Kamogawa Dam, you can enjoy fishing and boating on the lake. Depending on the season, you can also fish for smelt and small sweetfish. I visited in search of retro pedal boats, but most people were there to seriously enjoy the water sport of fishing. The pedal boats were quite old, providing good exercise. The scenery was beautiful and it was a lot of fun. Highly recommended. ✱----------------------------------------------- Name: Tojo Lake BIGBITE Location: 25 Kurodani, Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture Access: About 7 minutes by car from the Chugoku Expressway "Hyogo Tojo" IC Business Hours: 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM (varies by season) Closed: Open year-round (except for the end of the year) Fees: Leisure boat for 30 minutes, Adults 500 yen, Children (elementary school students) 300 yen, Free for children under 6 years old Visit Date: November 2024 -----------------------------------------------✱

Wild Duck, a small coffee shop in the forest in Kato, Hyogo Prefecture This shop is open from breakfast. Recently, they have also opened a bakery, so bread lovers should definitely stop by. This time I ordered a croquette, but they have a wide variety of menu items and the shop is spacious! Above all, it's great value for money! For a reasonable price, you can get full from soup to salad and main course. There are plenty of ingredients such as konnyaku, corn, and onions under the croquette, so I recommend going there hungry! ~From the official website~ 1468-3 Ohata, Kato, Hyogo 673-1325 TEL.0795-46-0547 #HyogoTourism #trip #summertrip #domestictravel #drive

I'm glad I was born, I'm so glad I met you.

Hyogo Prefectural Harima Central Park Located in Shimotakino, Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture, with a total area of ​​181.7 hectares, it is one of the largest urban parks in the prefecture. The bridge that connects the first parking lot to the park is a pony Warren truss bridge, called "Banchu Omoide Bridge," which was relocated from the Kobe Electric Railway overpass. The steam locomotive C56135 is on display as a preserved car, but it is not possible to enter it.

The impeccably aligned buildings and gates across the expansive grounds are a sight to behold, and the atmosphere shifts the very moment you step inside. A crisp, profound serenity fills the air, making you naturally want to stand a little taller. The temple grounds are meticulously maintained, leaving a lasting impression of refined, effortless beauty. The architecture, perfectly harmonizing with the vast sky above, brings a sense of deep calm simply by walking through the area. While you can sense the presence of others, there is no noise—just a quiet passage of time that invites you to reflect and connect with yourself in the silence.

“Who says you have to hike 2 kilometers uphill to visit Kiyomizu-dera?!” As someone with bad knees and a lazy spirit, I finally found this hidden no-hill route. Just 1 minute from the drop-off point straight to Kiyomizu-dera’s Niomon Gate! The entire route is flat with no uphill climbing, perfect for kids, wearing kimonos, or elderly travelers! 👇 -🌸 Super easy key point: Take a taxi! ⚠️ Important tip 🚖 Taxi drop-off location ➡️ 📍Chawan-zaka You can download the international version of Didi in advance or show the driver the photo. The white signboard is the drop-off spot. ❷ After getting off, walk straight for 50 meters → you’ll see the vermilion Niomon Gate ⛩️ on the left. ❸ Avoid crowds: Try to arrive before 8 AM to enjoy the Kiyomizu stage all to yourself! ▶️ Want to explore the old streets on the way back? Descend gently from Kiyomizu-dera’s side gate via Kiyomizu-zaka. You’ll find lots of unique shops along the way, super fun to browse and delicious to eat 😋 ▶️ For the energetic: Hidden route through the secret tea house street in Ninen-zaka, fewer people and great photo spots! ⚠️ Taxi fare from Kyoto Station to Kiyomizu-dera is about 1500 yen. ⚠️ Return: There is a taxi waiting area at the scenic spot entrance, or a 5-minute walk to the “Kiyomizumichi” bus stop. > Lazy person’s essence: trade money for time! If you’re traveling with three or four people, splitting the cost isn’t much more expensive than taking the subway or bus. > Save an hour of uphill effort, very friendly for kids and elderly with mobility issues.

Hello. Today's post is about a golf trip to Kobe. The place I would like to introduce is Tojo Golf Club, located in Hyogo Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese golf. Although I have played 2-3 rounds a month in Korea and visited many different golf courses, Tojo Golf Club is truly good enough to be in my top 10... The turf maintenance, landscaping, service, scenery, and clubhouse are all top-notch. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a golf trip to Osaka. For reference, I understand that on weekdays, the price is around 100,000 won including meals. #Kobe #Osaka #Golf #JapanGolfTrip

#Osaka Attractions The Kobayashi Farm is planted with colorful crops everywhere, shining charmingly in the sun. I followed the signs and came to an area open to tourists for picking! I excitedly picked up the picking basket prepared on the side, stepped into it, and began to carefully select the most vivid crops like a child! Just as I was picking, an enthusiastic farmer came over and kindly introduced the planting conditions here to me. 👨�🌾 He talked endlessly about the growth characteristics of crops, which gave me a better understanding of these lovely fruits. I listened attentively, feeling the strong rural atmosphere and the farmers' love for the land. At Kobayashi Farm, we tasted the freshest and most delicious crops and experienced the leisurely and carefree country life. This is truly a rare pastoral paradise. #小林农园 #采体验
