#JulyGoodPlace2025 #Karuizawa #ErailwayBento #Toge no Kamameishi Honpo #Usuitoge A rest stop located in Usuitoge, famous for railway bento and Initial D. Many car lovers come here to have a look and go to Karuizawa for vacation. The Usuitoge in Initial D is based on this place, and the first railway bento is also sold here. At the beginning, people wanted to eat some hot bento, so they used clay pots to serve it, and clay pots could be taken back as souvenirs. #RailwayBento #Michinoeki #RestStation #InitialD

After Nakanotake Shrine and Myogi Shrine, we visited a shrine on the border between Gunma and Nagano prefectures. The soba is delicious, but the best is the "Ganso Chikara Mochi." It's so tasty you'll be amazed at how soft and chewy it is! There is also terrace seating, so you can enjoy lunch while looking at the view. A luxury you can only experience on a holiday. There is also an observation deck. Looking back, you'll see the shrine right nearby. Inside the shop, there is a souvenir corner where the Yatagarasu are having a meeting (^^) ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Shige⃝no⃝ya⃝ 🚗 Karuizawa Station → 10 minutes ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Shigenoya #Usui Soba #Original Chikara Mochi #Usui Pass #Tourist Spot #Gourmet
