I tried the 'Kiaji (Golden Horse Mackerel)' from Numajima for the first time. On this day, there were also Ebisu Sea Bream, Octopus, Bluefin Tuna, and Live Abalone from Awaji Island.

Onokoro Shrine is a sacred place that cannot be missed in mythology. In the "Creation of the Land Myth," Izanagi and Izanami used the Heavenly Swallowtail Spear to stir the tide from the Heavenly Floating Bridge, and the tide dripped from the tip of the spear and piled up to form "Onokoro Island." It is said that the most likely candidate for Onokoro Island is Numashima! It is also interesting that the shape of the island is like a magatama. On Numashima is the name of the shrine. To get here, you have to climb a long flight of stone steps. The view is as if it is stretching up to the sky. The main building and the main hall are simple, but this actually creates a simplicity, and there is nothing unnecessary, making it feel clean and neat. If you go a little further inside the shrine, you will find stone statues of Izanagi and Izanami. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Onokoro Shrine ⛴Numashima Port →🚶‍♀️About 13 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Jigyo Shrine #Onokoro Shrine #Shrine Visit #Power Spot #777 #Hyogo Tourism

Suddenly! I wanted to go and see Shikoku! First, here is a record from Tokushima. Places visited ①Naruto whirlpools ②Otsuka Museum of Art ③Awa Odori ④Chinese noodles "Inotani" ①Naruto whirlpools Ride a boat into the whirlpools! The sea breeze is pleasant, and you can see the whirlpools up close. You won't get wet. Be careful if you get seasick. You can see the whirlpools from the bridge. ②Otsuka Museum of Art Famous paintings from all over the world are gathered here! ③Awa Odori A theatrical version of the dance style where they show you a demonstration and dance with you! ④Chinese noodles "Inotani" A ramen shop with a line-up! Exciting and thrilling The flavor of the meat is soaked in, and it tastes like nothing I've ever eaten before! I ate it up in no time, and it was a lick! #Tokushima #Tokushima gourmet #Whirlpools #Otsuka Museum of Art #Awa Odori

Apparently the whirlpools are impressive in the spring, and as it was my first time I was a bit worried about the swaying, but I enjoyed it! There aren't many buses, but I was able to take the free shuttle bus to the observation deck and roadside station, where I could buy a delicious lunch and souvenirs, so I was very satisfied ^_^ There are also buses from Kobe, so even if you don't have a car, it's a great day trip, so I recommend it. #food #greatview #Awajishima #whirlpoolcruise #familytrip #coupletrip

\Awaji Island's #Otama-negi 🧅/ Awaji Island's famous spot "#Otama-negi" 👀 The onions, which stand out against the grass, sea, and blue sky, are bigger than you'd think! There are tables with sliced ​​onions around, and even a truck with onions on it 🚚 It was a holiday so I couldn't do it, but apparently there's also an "onion UFO catcher"...! (I wanted to do it... I regret it...) Deliver it with onions! #photogenicspot #AwajiIsland #Otama-negi #WesternJapan

Deities: Izanagi-no-Mikoto, Izanami-no-Mikoto Jointly enshrined: Kikurihime-no-Mikoto, also known as Kukurihime-no-Mikoto I'm sure you've all heard of these names before. Yes, this is Onokorojima Shrine, the sacred place where the Japanese gods were born. ⛩️✨ According to the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, in the ancient Age of the Gods, at the time of the creation of the land, the two gods stood on the Heavenly Floating Bridge and stirred the ocean with the Heavenly Spear, and the water that dripped from the spear naturally solidified and became an island, which is Onokorojima. The two gods landed on this island, built Yahiroden, and first built Awaji Island, and then one after another developed the Great Eight Islands. It is written that the two gods then landed on this island, built Yahiroden, and then built Awaji Island, and one after another developed the Great Eight Islands. The shrine enshrines the two gods Izanagi and Izanami, known as the gods of matchmaking and safe childbirth. These two gods are also the parents of Amaterasu Omikami. The 21.7m-tall vermilion-painted torii gate, erected in March 1982, is an eye-catching sight. #Remote Island Travel #Shrine #Breathtaking Views

The breakfast at Awaji Hana Hotel was delicious✨ They also catered for allergies, and served grilled fish instead of tamagoyaki✨ The free food rice balls were made with freshly made piping hot rice.

Minami Awaji City on Awaji Island is a great place to start sightseeing.

The room was very spacious, and the bed was also very comfortable😊 There were very few amenities, and they were all things that women do not need. Bring a hairbrush, lotion, cotton swabs, cotton, etc. with you~🤟 #Hyogo Prefecture #Remote Island Trip #Awaji Island

I visited England Hill, a farm park located on Awaji Island!!! The area is rich in nature with plenty of blooming flowers! It was beautiful! There are also many playgrounds for children and animals to see! The koalas and capybaras were adorable! You can enjoy meals there too, making it a great place to spend an entire day! It's very spacious, so you'll be walking a lot!

There was so much food that I couldn't finish it all—super satisfying! Additionally, we were lucky enough to stay on a day when there were fireworks, and we could see them right from our room. It was absolutely perfect! The staff were very polite and attentive, making the experience even better.

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #stunningview Post: On the eastern edge of Shikoku, Tokushima pulses with rhythm and nature. Known for its vibrant Awa Odori dance festival, dramatic whirlpools, and sacred mountains, this underrated city offers a soulful blend of tradition, movement, and raw natural beauty. I started with the city’s most famous cultural experience—the Awa Odori Kaikan. Here, I watched (and even joined!) a lively performance of the traditional dance, where locals in colorful yukata moved to the beat of shamisen and taiko drums. The joy was infectious—it’s no wonder the August festival draws crowds from all over Japan. Next, I ventured out to Naruto Strait, home to the legendary Naruto Whirlpools. Standing on the glass-floored Ōnaruto Bridge Walk, I gazed down as the tide spun massive whirlpools below—a spectacle of nature’s force. For an even closer look, I took a whirlpool sightseeing boat that brought me face-to-face with the swirling sea. Back inland, I climbed Mount Bizan, the green peak that watches over Tokushima City. From the summit, I saw the Yoshino River winding through town, and in the distance, the Pacific meeting the sky. At dusk, the city glowed softly, peaceful and unhurried. Tokushima is also a gateway to the Shikoku Pilgrimage. I visited a few of the nearby temples along the 88-temple route—each one calm, ancient, and deeply grounding. And let’s not forget the food: I savored a bowl of Tokushima ramen, rich with pork broth and topped with sweet-simmered pork belly and a raw egg. Comfort in every bite. Best Time to Visit: August for the Awa Odori Festival, or spring and autumn for beautiful weather and quieter temple visits. Helpful Tips: Wear comfortable shoes if visiting pilgrimage sites—some involve hiking. Book Awa Odori performances in advance during festival season. Try yuzu-flavored local treats—this citrus is grown locally and adds a zing to sweets and drinks.
