Located in Tokushima City, Wada Noya has been insisting on using natural materials for 400 years to make Apot-produced "Saki no-yaki cake". The smoky glutinous rice crust is served with red bean filling, and a cup of pure and rich tea is served. Although there are other branches in the city, the reason I recommend going to the Wada Noya main store is that the store’s four seasons are full of character and only this store is not located in the mall. Visiting in the spring we were able to view the cherry blossoms and the White Silk Falls and the staff were very warm and hospitable, which was a very enjoyable experience. 🕰️Opening hours: Closed on Thursdays, 10:00-17:00, no appointment required 📍Address: , as shown in the picture recommended to go together after visiting the Apo Ball Hall 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: Indoor, there is also a souvenir area 💰Average consumption per person: about 1000yen 💞Reason for recommendation: You can enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea

📍Peonies at Jinguji Temple Jinguji Temple in Tonari-cho, Awa City is famous as the "Peony Temple". Colorful peonies bloom in the garden, some of which are over 70 years old. Approximately 130 kinds of colorful peonies are planted in the garden. The best time to see them is around the end of April every year, and a nice fragrance fills the grounds. The colorful peonies bloomed beautifully, and many people enjoyed the gorgeous peonies. Jinguji Temple is also the family temple of former Prime Minister Takeo Miki. Take this opportunity to visit! #0yentravelFebruary2025

📍Treehouse Forest The "Machizukuri Future Conference" was established with the aim of revitalizing the area around Shopping Plaza Hours, the commercial core of Awa-cho, Awa City. After drawing up a grand design for the business they would be working on, the first thing they did was to create a children's playground that makes use of nature. To date, they have completed two tree houses, two small houses, a forest library with a slope, a wheelchair-accessible kitchen garden and paths, and a swing with handrails and backrests. Based on diversity, it was created with the desire to create a park that everyone can enjoy, whether they have disabilities or not, foreigners, the elderly, or children. This fairy bookcase was so cute that it became a hot topic on social media. #0yentravelFebruary2025

#fallishere Akizuki Castle Ruins is a famous tourist spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves and known as Little Kyoto. The cityscape and scenery are very stunning during fall. The maple leaves were in brilliant colours. Everything looks so beautiful. We enjoyed our little stroll around the town, soaking ourselves into the beauty of nature. Highly recommended for nature lovers and those who want to engulf themselves in a little bit of “historical” Japan.

#Japan Attractions #Tokushima #Shikoku #Japan Travel #Overseas Travel This time we went to Kumagai Temple in Tokushima Prefecture, which is the eighth temple and belongs to the Koyasan Shingon sect. This mountain gate is ranked first among the 88 temples pilgrimage in 🇯🇵 Shikoku Journey ☝🏻, the reason is that its view is the most beautiful, if you come in spring, this will also be the famous cherry blossom blooming place 🌸! Although this time is autumn, but I feel that Kumagai Temple is really macro✨ Especially the red design of the Topo Pagoda, the architectural design is very characteristic. He is waiting to be the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. He needs to walk up the steep stairs before going up to the Grand Hall, but I believe that shows more sincerity 👍🏻 Chapter 8: Pumingshan Zhenguangin Kumagai Temple 📍771-1506 Maeda 185, Toseiji, Tosei-cho, Awa-shi, Tokushima Prefecture
