2025 Hyogo Prefecture Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I visited a bakery called 'ameen's oven' in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture! 📍 6-18 Wakamatsucho, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Villa de Coan 1st Floor Despite being in a residential area, it was a cute shop surrounded by trees! Inside the store, there were delicious-looking hard breads lined up. There was also a cafe, but this time I took out some bread! When I reheated it for breakfast, the more I chewed, the more delicious it became! The bread filled with red bean paste had a surprising burdock flavor, which was an unusual combination but very tasty!

📍Address: 68 Honmachi, Himeji City 🕰️Opening Hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Last entry at 4:00 PM) 💞Recommended Reason: Also known as White Heron Castle, Himeji Castle is a Japanese national treasure and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in Japanese history. 🗓️Itinerary: After having breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we headed to Himeji Castle. Initially, we planned to spend two to three hours exploring the castle, but we ended up staying until the evening to watch a light show that was happening that day. The combination of the old castle architecture and the lights made for a unique experience. In the evening, we went to try the famous Kobe beef. The beef had a rich flavor and only needed a little salt to taste amazing. It was truly a perfect day.✌🏻

A hidden Himeji specialty founded in 1974! It was also featured on Bananaman's Sekakuna Gourmet🍲‼️ The great thing about this place is that you can eat both yakiniku and hot pot! First, you eat the yakiniku as an appetizer salad instead of the main course, and then... The main course is hot pot! (lol)🤭🍲 What a happy combination! And it's delicious but not expensive at all! Do you feel like having hot pot or yakiniku? ! If you're on the fence, don't hesitate to come here! If you've been there, please share your comments~🎵 📍 89 Nishinomachi, Sanzaemonbori, Himeji, Hyogo 670-0940 #HyogoTourism#HimejiGourmet

#AustraliaFlightEvent This is Roan run by a Korean-Japanese president. There are many Korean-Japanese living in Himeji, and this Roan is a bit like a love room(?) I found out that the people sitting at the table were all Korean-Japanese and international students. The meat was moderately sweet, and it was really good to eat it with warm rice, and they gave me lettuce, so I ate it like a wrap, and also with rice. They also serve pear for dessert.

#Travel itinerary #Japan #Japan travel #Sea 🇯🇵 Nakayagi + Eigashima, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan A small fishing village called Nakayagi (中八木) and Eigashima (江井ヶ島) can be reached in 20 minutes by Sanyo Akashi Electric Railway from Akashi, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. It is not well known to tourists. If you have traveled to Japan many times and are looking for a special place, I highly recommend this place. Also, this is where my maternal grandmother was born and raised, and I visited this place with my grandmother, so I visited it again during this trip to Japan. Now, let me introduce you to a half-day trip to Nakayagi and Eigashima 💚 📷 2-5 Nakayagi (中八木) If you take the Sanyo Akashi Electric Railway from Akashi and get off in 20 minutes, you will arrive at the small seaside village of Nakayagi. It is quieter than other tourist destinations in Japan, so it is a great place to take a walk and feel the Japanese townscape. 📷 6-7 Yagiiseki Park 八木遺跡公園 Nakayagi is a town adjacent to the sea, so the coastal walking path is very well-maintained. You can enter the ocean walking path through Yagiiseki Park (八木遺跡公園). This park is also a beautiful park where red camellias bloom until mid-March. 📷 8-10 35-minute walk from Nakayagi to Eigashima It takes one train stop from Nakayagi to Eigashima, and 30-35 minutes on foot. If you visit in March, take a walk while enjoying the beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. It is good to walk along the ocean walking path, but on the day I visited, it was so windy that I walked inside the town. 📷 11-13 Eigashima (江井ヶ島) Eigashima Beach is beautiful with blue sea and blue sky. There are also people who do windsurfing, and it is a very quiet place. It is my grandmother's hometown that I came to with my grandmother 7 years ago. I sit on the beach and look at the sea of ​​Eigashima that sparkles and looks calm, but makes waves. This is the half-day trip course of Nakayagi and Eigashima. If you are looking for a special Japanese travel destination, come here 💙
