#100 Ways to Travel Kyushu Takeo's famous scenic spot #米fun山楽园, in addition to the sea of ​​azaleas and ship-shaped rocks, the most eye-catching is #teamlab's surreal light and shadow scene #神 resides in the forest A Forest where Gods Live. Because I stayed at the Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel, I was able to enter and exit the exhibition for free. As soon as you step into the dark hall, the lighting is like a hundred lights in a row, filling the entire space. Reflected by the mirrors on the four walls, it is infinitely magnified, high and low, unevenly distributed, like countless sky lanterns rising into the sky, and the lights It will produce changes and sounds with every move of the person, just like a dream. The teamLab exhibition is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. This time we mainly visited the four indoor exhibition areas: #echolightforestwithspiral The glass lampshade from Burano Island is used to cover the entire space, with layers of light and dark flashing, which is the reception area of ​​the check-in lobby of the aforementioned hotel. #forgottenrocks Among the ruins, there are 20 luminous crystal rock pillars standing diagonally, flickering on and off like breathing, as if walking into an alien's secret base. #graffitinatural The creatures living in the abandoned public bathhouse are various creatures described by visitors, like ribbons of light and shadow dancing and spreading. #flamelightsculpting Through the collection of point lights, a flame sculpture of a three-dimensional object is created. The flames burn more intensely as people get closer. It is like a dream and transcends reality. I admire teamLab for designing such a wonderful light and shadow environment according to local conditions. Don’t miss it when you visit Mifuneyama Rakuen Garden. teamLab: A Forest Where Gods Live - GC Exhibition period: 2024/7/12-11/4 #JapanTandian #KyushuAttractions #Mifuneyamarakuen #teamlab #神 resides in the forest

#100 Ways to Travel Takeo Shrine Address: Takeo 5327, Takeo-machi, Takeo City, Saga Prefecture If you also like to visit shrines, I recommend you to visit Takeo Shrine in Saga. The official website of Takeo Shrine reads: "Our ancestors felt the gods in every operation of nature, believed that gods existed in all things, and worshiped them and to pray to the gods to protect themselves from the wrath and to thank nature for its blessings. Especially large trees and rocks are considered sacred and used as objects of faith." Transportation strategy: Takeo Shrine is located in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture. Take the JR Limited Express Seagull from Fukuoka JR Hakata Station to JR Takeo Onsen Station. Those taking the bus can go to Hakata Bus Terminal or Nishitetsu-Tenjin Expressway Bus Station to Saga Bus Terminal, and then transfer to a local bus. After arriving at JR Saga Onsen Station, you can take a tour bus or walk to Takeo Shrine. You can also rent bicycles outside the station. Takeo Shrine is located about a 10-minute walk from the famous Takeo Library and can be visited together. Going up the stairs, the stone pillars and the mottled stones give off a sense of etherealness and time. After passing through the "Ni-no-Torii" (二ノtorii), there are two cypress trees side by side on the right hand side, which is called "Couple Hinoki". The roots of these two cypress trees intersect, and they are joined together at the middle branches. Therefore, they are considered to be able to protect good relationships, not only in love, but also in various aspects such as between people, work, and money. All kinds of fateful relationships. A rare white shrine in Japan, the main enshrinement is Takeuchi Sukone, the longest-lived god in Japan. It is said to be able to pray for military luck, good fortune and the elimination of misfortune. It is said that during a certain victory in the war, a white bird happened to land on the shrine. The locals believed that the white bird was a symbol of victory and luck, so they painted the outer walls of Takeo Shrine white. On the left side of the shrine, there is a sacred tree torii gate, leading to the 3,000-year-old sacred tree. The trail leading to the nanshu is lined with maple trees, and as you walk further inside, it becomes a bamboo forest towering into the sky. At the end is a tree that is over 3,000 years old and is the seventh largest sacred tree in Japan. It is 30 meters tall and has a trunk circumference of 22 meters. Chi, the hollow in the tree body and roots is said to be as big as 12 stacks of tatami. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you fully appreciate the insignificance of human beings. In these thousand years, we are just a circle of years on the annual rings of the nan tree. The sacred tree is still growing and expanding. What is special is that there is a hollow in the tree, which is said to be the prototype of the tree hole in My Neighbor Totoro. In this nearly arc-shaped space, it is surrounded by a dense forest, forming a huge energy space. When you come here, you must feel the sacred space and silence, and listen to the sounds of nature. # Takeo Shrine # Takeo Onsen Station # Saga # Big Nanshu # Shrine # Kyushu # Japan # familytravel #神木

#IndoorGoodPlace I believe that many tour groups and independent travel plans on the market will include exciting fun activities, food and leisure exploration, crazy shopping at Outlets, exploration of historical cultural relics, etc., so as to understand the local culture, enrich life experience, and relax the body and mind; but are there any Have you ever thought about arranging an itinerary that integrates into local life, allows you to slowly experience the local culture, and also gives tourists the feeling of traveling? This is to arrange a visit to Kyushu, Japan [Takeo City Library]. This is a library located near Kyushu Shinkansen Takeo Station. The architectural design is simple and a bit fashionable. The library has a reading area, a study room area and a coffee room area. , is similar to an ordinary library; and it is as quiet as visiting an exhibition hall. You can calm down and visit the architecture, read a local book, and look out the window to see the sun-drenched mountain scenery and a feeling of tranquility and spiritual cleansing. I believe that this [Takeo Library] has also attracted many local people and tourists to come and experience it, understand the architectural design of the library and borrow books to increase their knowledge. Therefore, the library has divided photography areas to avoid disturbing people who are concentrating on reading. . In addition to this library, there is also a children's library next to it. The library is like two worlds. The sounds of children's play and the sounds of parents' education fill the library, creating a different experience. How do you plan your trip? Will you also arrange quiet time to visit Takeo Library to increase your knowledge and experience? #日本kyushutakeo #TakeoCityLibrary #100 Ways to Travel # around the world

For art lovers who love digital art and great ideas, you must have heard of or visited the work of the world's most famous digital art team, teamLab. This time, I will take you to see the largest scale work of teamLab that I have ever been to. The exhibition area covers a large onsen hotel, an abandoned onsen, old buildings, and a wide area in the forest for you to see in a very impressive and magnificent way at Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel in Takeo Onsen, a peaceful tourist attraction in the Kyushu region. The main exhibition area of ​​teamLab this time is divided into several zones. There are both the hotel building and the forest. I will gradually tell you about each part. Let's start with the journey. The closest major city that we can take a plane to is Fukuoka. From the big station, Hakata station, take the train to Takeo Onsen station. It takes 70 minutes, then take a bus or taxi for about 5-10 minutes to arrive at the hotel. For those who are not staying, you can buy tickets at the hotel for 1,200 yen. The first highlight on the hotel side is the lobby. ‘Forest and Spiral of Resonating Lamp’, a large lamp installation welcomes you from the first step. The lights will change colors in a cool atmosphere for us to sit and take pictures before walking to see other works in Zones A and B (there is a map when you go). Each work will have a large exhibition room in the main building and continue to the old building zone that looks like an abandoned onsen hotel has been fully renovated. ‘Megaliths in the Bath House Ruins’, a giant sculpture that looks like a pillar planted in the abandoned onsen area, playing with lights and beautiful art patterns. I must say that this piece is very enjoyable to take pictures of. There are so many things for us to see and play with. In addition, there is a walkway in the abandoned building with lights on both sides. There is ‘Living Crystallized Light’, a water mapping plate with light and sound that vibrates and makes sounds when we step on it. ‘Light Sculpture of Flames’, a large cube-shaped work that plays with light like flames swaying in the middle of a dark room. And many more interesting pieces Come to the forest side, the largest area of ​​the event is divided into zones C, D, E, F, gradually opening after sunset. Zone C, which requires the darkest, will open last after 7 pm. And there is a must-see spot, ‘Drawing on water’, which will be a performance on water. There will be a rowboat stopping in the middle of the water before koi fish and lines of light swimming around until they shine for us to see at intervals. There is a tea room in the middle of the forest, mapping flowers onto each teacup. When lifted, the petals will spread out beautifully. There is a cool digital waterfall and many other interesting spots that you can walk around for a long time.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's such a famous hotel🥺✨ It is also known for its "Rakan no Yu" sauna, which was awarded the Sauna Chelan. Mifuneyama is said to have been formed by uplift from the Ariake Sea 3 million years ago. Mifuneyama Rakuen, a nationally designated monument located there, was created during the Edo period. When you open the hotel door, in the lobby you will find the art work "Forest and Spiral of Resonating Lamps in the Forest - One Stroke" by TeamLab, which is displayed in different colors depending on the season. Until November 5th, TeamLab's "Forest Where Gods Live" is on display. The outdoor work is divided into an indoor work at Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel and an outdoor work that goes around Mifuneyama Rakuen. The indoor work can be viewed only from the evening. The indoor work can be viewed from 11:00. The weather was bad, so I only stopped by during the day to see the indoor artworks (hotel area, ruins area), but there was an art space that made use of the ruins as it was, and the scale was huge, so it was worth seeing🫢 As I thought, TeamLab seems to have more foreign visitors𓏗𓏗 Next time, I'd like to see the outdoor artworks in the gardens of TeamLab that are integrated with nature I bought the viewing ticket directly at the hotel🎫There are also tickets that include a day-use sauna◎𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄𓊆𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒𓊇 From the official website Weekdays ¥1200 Weekends and holidays ¥1600 ¥700 (indoor works only) 𓊆𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒𓊇 From the official website Indoor works 11:00-22:30 9/11-10/8 19:00-22:30 10/9-11/5 18:00-22:30 𓊆𝐴𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𓊇 From the official website 4100 Takeo, Takeo-cho, Takeo-shi, Saga Prefecture 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄 𓐄#winter trip #hot spring #solo trip #trip #saga #saga prefecture #saga hotel #saga trip #domestic trip #teamlab #sauna #hotel with sauna

Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel is home to Rakan no Yu, which has won the Grand Prix in the Sauna Cheran for three consecutive years. Needless to say, the sauna is amazing, with an immersive feeling that makes you feel as if you are one with nature. The men's and women's baths are switched only in the morning, so I recommend staying overnight. The hotel building itself is a little old, but it is kept clean, and the room was simple but comfortable. The collaboration with teamLab was unexpectedly fun. The experience started with checking in the lobby, where a fantastic space filled with many hanging lamps spreads out. You are immediately drawn into a surreal world. The presentation, which made use of the facilities in the hotel, such as the former large bath, was very ingenious. Of particular note was the projection mapping of Mt. Mifune and the entire garden that spreads at its base. I was amazed at the idea of ​​projection mapping the mountain itself. The fantastic space that blended nature with the latest technology was created, and it was very enjoyable. I heard that the azaleas in the garden are wonderful, so I would like to visit during azalea season next time. #Mifuneyama Rakuen Hotel #TeamLab

Transportation-JR Takeo Station has a free shuttle bus during the night festival Park Background - Mifuneyama Rakuen was built in 1845 in the late Edo period and is located in the mountains west of Mifuneyama in Takeo City. It is said that this Japanese garden was built by Shigeyoshi Nabeshima, the 28th lord of the Takeo domain, over a period of three years. The name "Mifuneyama" comes from the fact that the mountain on which the garden is built resembles a ship from the Tang Dynasty. Mifuneyama Rakuen is a famous tourist attraction in Saga, with a vast park and rich mountain scenery. It is a famous autumn maple viewing spot in Kyushu; the red maple leaves in autumn present a strange and beautiful sight like fire under the illumination of lights at night. The autumn leaves festival held from early November to early December is Japan's largest nighttime light-up event for viewing autumn leaves. Period: End of November (keep an eye on the official Facebook page for real-time updates on the autumn leaves) Time: 8am to 10pm during the night festival (lights turn on at 5:30pm) There were many visitors during the night festival, so it was really hard to take photos. But the red leaves offer a different experience under the projection of special lighting effects. In addition to the maple forest 🍁, there are also ginkgo trees 🍂 #Japan Attractions

If you've been to a teamlab exhibit, you know what to expect. What makes this one special is the location. The park is beautiful with different venues spread everywhere. Some pieces resemble others featured in different locations, e.g. the pound where the carps projections are feels like the one in teamlab Planets in Tsukiji, Tokyo. That said, the location itself gives a different vibe to the pieces. Wear comfortable shoes and be careful when walking around as the place can be quite dark in some places. There are 2 gates and one opens 1 hour later, at 20:00. I would suggest entering earlier so you don't have to rush to see everything.

#cherryblossom25 If you’re in Kyushu these days, make sure to visit Takeo Onsen and enjoy the cherry blossoms there! We were fortunate enough to witness the cherry blossoms in full bloom at Takeo Onsen, which became our perfect spring escape. 🌺 This year, many who followed the earliest cherry blossom forecasts found themselves as "cherry blossom refugees" – me included. 🌸 Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see the blossoms at some of the more popular spots we visited, like Kumamoto and Mifuneyama Rakuen, which didn’t meet our expectations. 😅 However, thanks to some helpful advice from fellow travelers on social media, we decided to change our plans and head to En'yoji Temple in Takeo, after seeing glowing reviews. When we arrived, we were absolutely delighted! 🎉 The cherry blossom tunnel at En'yoji was in full bloom, creating a beautiful canopy of pink blossoms. 🌷 The only exception was a few trees near the mountaintop gate, which hadn’t fully bloomed yet. The rest of the cherry blossoms were absolutely stunning, and many visitors had driven over to take photos. We also passed by two incredible cherry blossom forests on our way, but due to time constraints, we only managed to visit Suzaku Shrine, which was also beautiful. 🌳 If you have time, the Kawara-koshi Castle Ruins across from the Suwaku Shrine also has gorgeous cherry blossoms, so don’t miss it! 🌼 If you're near Takeo Onsen or planning a trip to Kyushu, definitely add this spot to your list! It’s a peaceful, less crowded destination to enjoy the stunning cherry blossoms. 🌸 #travel
