Sanda Travel Guide 2026: Top Attractions, Local Food & Travel Tips | Trip.com

Where to Watch the 2026 World Cup | Tamachi & Mita: Irish Pub "Murphy's" Tamachi — A Pre-Match Stroll Through Zojoji Temple Outer Garden & Shiba Park Plot 4 Observation Deck.

Starting from the Mita Exit of JR Tamachi Station, head first to the Zojoji Temple Outer Garden—take in the black-lacquered gate, the ginkgo-lined paths (absolutely stunning in autumn), and the main hall's gilded bronze roof gleaming in the sunset. Next, head up to the Shiba Park Plot 4 Observation Deck for a side view of Tokyo Tower. Afterwards, head down to Murphy's Tamachi: a classic wood-paneled Irish pub pouring fresh Guinness on draft with just the right broadcast volume. You can also easily get there from Shibakoen Station on the Toei Mita Line; it's incredibly convenient if you're staying at a business hotel in Shibaura or Tamachi (like the Mets chain). One night while watching an England match, an IT consultant sitting next to me who had just clocked out from overtime joked, "The bell at Zojoji is more punctual than the kickoff." I highly recommend this spot for anyone "catching a game while on a business trip"—Zojoji offers a fleeting sense of the ancient capital, while Murphy's provides an English-speaking fan community without the hassle of detouring to Roppongi. Elegant, laid-back, and efficient—perfectly capturing the vibe of Tamachi.

[Hyogo / Sanda] A Traditional Folk House Cafe Nestled in a Lush Forest.

🌳 Fukiage no Mori 📍 Sanda, Hyogo (A 6-minute drive from Sanda Station) A charming, historic residence tucked away in the woods. The vintage interior created a comforting and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere🌿 This time around, I ordered: ・Forest Obanzai Set (1,800 yen) ・Seasonal Mini Parfait (1,000 yen) ・Strawberry Milk Shortcake Shaved Ice (1,500 yen) 📝 The "Forest Obanzai Set" changes its menu every month. I love being able to enjoy a little bit of several different side dishes☺️ The set included: · Tamago Kake Gohan (Raw egg on rice) · Fluffy shrimp cutlet · Lotus root & hijiki seaweed deli-style salad · Chawanmushi (Savory steamed egg custard) · Homemade sesame tofu · Spring cabbage & wakame seaweed miso soup · Pickles For the Tamago Kake Gohan, you can choose between a fluffy meringue style and a regular style. I went with the fluffy one this time🥚✨ The airy meringue was so light, and the natural sweetness of the egg really stood out. All the obanzai (traditional Japanese side dishes) had a mild, comforting flavor and offered great variety. It was unique and memorable to find udon noodles hidden inside the chawanmushi☺️ The sesame tofu was also incredibly smooth and delicious. For dessert, I got the seasonal mini parfait, which is exclusively available to those who order the obanzai set🍓 Despite the name "mini," it was surprisingly generous in size◎ It was a luxurious treat featuring both strawberry mascarpone and Jersey milk ice cream, topped with homemade strawberry syrup, custard, and even slices of homemade pound cake. The mascarpone ice cream was definitely my favorite☺️ The locally grown Sanda strawberries were the perfect balance of sweet and tart, too. The limited-time "Strawberry Milk Shortcake Shaved Ice" was massive and totally show-stopping🍧 It looked absolutely adorable! It featured milk-based shaved ice drizzled with Asuka Ruby strawberry syrup from Sanda. As I dug in, I found crunchy crumbles and other tasty surprises hidden inside✨️ . . . . Time seems to slow down inside the cafe, creating a laid-back vibe where you can just relax and take in nature. The view of the greenery through the windows was incredibly soothing🌳 It's a very popular spot, so it was quite bustling. I made sure to book a table beforehand this time. Just a heads-up, advance reservations are only accepted for the 11:30 AM seating◎ You can get there by bus from Sanda Station, but they have a parking lot, so driving might be the easiest option🚗 It’s the perfect spot for a lazy afternoon enjoying lunch and sweets surrounded by nature. This is definitely a cozy cafe I’d want to revisit every season🌿 . . . . 📌 1013 Miwa, Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture ⏱ 11:30 AM - 5:00 PM 🗓 Closed on Wednesdays & Thursdays 🚗 Parking available . . . . ⁡

[Hyogo] A lovely cafe surrounded by nature

I went to a restaurant called "Uwanosora" in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture! 📍1891-27 Sue, Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture It was a wonderful restaurant surrounded by nature! The interior was calm and cozy! I had a healthy lunch packed with vegetables and a mini strawberry chiffon cake for dessert! It was a wonderful time eating delicious food while soothed by the cute interior and the beautiful view from the window! Apparently, you can sometimes get in without a reservation, so I recommend making a reservation beforehand!
