As there are signs of a warm winter this year☁️, the cherry blossom forecast time is about a week earlier than last year, but the current data is not very important and can be used as a reference for the time being. - There are 6 rounds of predictions in total, and in the past, there was still a gap between the final flowering period and the first round of predictions. Of course, if you are worried about the soaring airfares and hotel prices during the cherry blossom season, you can act now. 💭Based on current speculation and past experience, the Kanto/Kansai region is scheduled for late March🌸, which is still reliable!

#getgoing2025 We booked for two nights stay at Marriott at Lake Biwa where the hotel was located at a strategic site oversee the lake. With a short distance, a mall was nearby where shopping and dining found easy. We drive a bit further vis the Biwa Bridge and arrived at another town with many shops and mall where food outlets and shopping took place. We drove along the lake and reached many tourist's attractions. We had a good time staying at this hotel with awesome view over the famous lake. The facilities inside the hotel was justified for a five star yet the hog spring kn basement floor adjoining the hotel block was a bit disappointed as if was constructed in basement level with no windows or looking outside, a confined space for hog springs was not my cup of tea in Japan. Besides, both accommodations and service was up to standard.

👍West Japan Shinkansen: an excellent experience of nostalgia and modernity When traveling in Japan, taking the Shinkansen is always something to look forward to. This time I specially experienced three classic trains of the West Japan Shinkansen. From the nostalgic to the modern, each journey was impressive. Whether it was the design of the carriages or the comfort of the ride, they all showed the extraordinary charm of the Shinkansen. 📍700 Series Railway Star: Nostalgic comfort From Okayama to Himeji, I took the 700 series Railway Star train. Although this train has been in service for many years, its nostalgic atmosphere makes people feel a unique sense of comfort. The seat design is simple and elegant, and the scenery outside the window flies by while the train is running at high speed, making people feel deeply about the development and history of Japanese railways. The 700 Series makes journeys relaxing and enjoyable with its smooth ride and spacious seats, making it an ideal choice for passengers who love retro style. 🩷500 series Hello Kitty train: dreamy visual enjoyment From Himeji to Shin-Osaka, I was very lucky to ride the dreamy 500 series Hello Kitty train. The decoration of this train is undoubtedly eye-catching. The exterior of the train is covered with Hello Kitty patterns, and the interior compartments are also filled with cute Hello Kitty elements. From the seats, car windows to headrests, even small items are Hello Kitty themed, making people feel like they have entered a fairy tale world. Throughout the journey, I was attracted by the details of the carriage from time to time. It was not only a transportation journey, but also an immersive visual enjoyment. 🎉N700S series trains: the ultimate experience of modern technology On the last leg of the journey from Shin-Osaka back to Okayama, I took the latest N700S series train. This train represents the technological crystallization of modern Shinkansen. It not only has a streamlined appearance, but also has a modern interior design. The seats are spacious and comfortable, and they also have advanced charging facilities and Wi-Fi, allowing me to stay connected during the trip. The silent design of the cabin made the entire ride very quiet, allowing me to get excellent rest and relaxation during the short journey. 🚩Recommended: Diversified West Japan Shinkansen experience The West Japan Shinkansen trains have various styles, from the nostalgic 700 series, the dreamy 500 series Hello Kitty trains to the modern N700S series, allowing passengers to enjoy unique ride experiences at different points in time. Whether you are a history buff, a Hello Kitty fan, or a traveler pursuing a sense of technology, you can find your favorite train here. If you have the opportunity to travel to Japan, taking the West Japan Shinkansen will definitely be an unforgettable journey. I strongly recommend that you personally experience these diverse and surprising train journeys. Such a rich riding experience not only makes people feel the unique culture of Japanese railways, but also makes every journey more interesting. It is definitely worth collecting as one of the highlights of the trip. 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Comfortable and fast travel, diverse and distinctive ride experience 💞Recommendation reason: You can take a variety of trains and explore the beautiful scenery of Western Japan 🗓️Itinerary: Pay attention! ! ! ! ! The Kansai Wide Area Pass "cannot" be used on the Sanyo Shinkansen! Therefore, if you want to go to Tokyo, you need to transfer to the oncoming train from Shin-Osaka. To avoid being charged a high fare difference~ #日本traintrip #cost-effective experience #comfortable and fast shinkansen #diversified train experience #nostalgia and novel experience #pink train #worth recommending #100 ways to travel

📍Explore diverse scenery: JR West Kansai Wide Area Pass five-day trip For this trip, I chose to use the JR West Kansai Wide Area Pass to embark on a five-day rail journey. The railway network in the Kansai region is very complete, and the flexibility of this Pass allows me to easily take different express trains and travel around cities and villages of all sizes. Although the price of this free pass has increased to 12,000 yen, its affordability and convenience made it an ideal choice for my trip. 👍The speed and comfort of express trains Using this Pass, I first took the much-anticipated "Super Hakuto". This limited express train is fast and has spacious carriages, allowing me to arrive in Tottori quickly from Osaka. The beautiful mountain scenery and scenery outside the train window The coastline makes the journey particularly pleasant. Then, I also took the "Haruka" limited express to Kansai Airport. The train's streamlined design and modern feel made the entire journey efficient and comfortable, especially suitable for air passengers. After that, I boarded the "Maizuru" and "Hashidate" express trains to go to beautiful towns along the Sea of ​​Japan. The high-quality services and scenery provided by these trains are quite stunning. The rural scenery they pass along the way makes people feel like they are in a movie scene. Every time I take the express train, I enjoy the smooth ride and the elegant environment inside the train, which makes the trip full of pleasant expectations. 🎉Convenience of new express trains In addition to limited express trains, I was also impressed by JR’s new rapid trains. Although these trains do not have the luxury features of express trains, they are fast, frequent and have spacious carriages, making them a good helper for moving between cities. Whether you are heading to Kyoto, Osaka or Kobe, the new express can arrive quickly, saving a lot of transportation time. 📍The rural charm of Tango Japan Railway One of the most unique experiences on this trip was riding Tango Japan Railway. This is a small train with only a single carriage. It shuttles through the Japanese countryside, allowing me to fully feel the unique charm of Japan's pastoral style. The train travels at a slower speed, but it also gives me more time to appreciate the countryside scenery along the way, blending in with the local natural environment, as if the whole world has slowed down. 👍Pass price increase is still worth recommending Although the price of the Kansai Wide Area Pass has risen to 12,000 yen, its high cost performance is still impeccable. Not only could I take an unlimited number of trains in five days, but I could also plan my itinerary however I wanted, which made the journey more flexible. If you plan to explore Kansai and surrounding areas, this Pass is definitely a recommended choice. The whole journey made me deeply appreciate the convenience and diversity of Japanese railways. Whether it is a city express train or a country train, every trip is a new experience. The Kansai Wide Area Pass offers great transportation flexibility and is the perfect companion for exploring this beautiful region. 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Comfortable and fast travel, diverse and distinctive ride experience 💞Recommendation reason: You can take a variety of trains and explore the beautiful scenery of Western Japan 🗓️Itinerary: It is recommended to choose Okayama as the starting point, because Okayama can be said to be connected in all directions with this pass. The entire trip can be taken in a straight line to Kyoto and then leave from Osaka, or return to Okayama. It is recommended to take unreserved seats on limited express trains, as they do not occupy seat reservations, save time and are more comfortable. #日本trainTravel #JR西 Japan #Pass Travel #Convenient, comfortable and cost-effective #Experience the beautiful scenery outside the window #Experience the special train #Very worth recommending #100 ways to travel

It's a very special experience Traveling alone is a great option for me You can see the beautiful sunset as you land really lucky The humanities and history here are also very charming. I don’t know why Kansai always attracts me deeply I like the customs and customs here very much I also like to make friends here without any hindrance. Maybe a simple greeting wouldn't hurt

Japanese Kansai Kyoto Hanshin, antique and modern Japanese anime and manga culture, is suitable for a five- to seven-day trip. Day1: Wakayama, Cat🐱Wind Train, It's best to catch the black tide market to see the slaughtering fish🐋 show. 🕰️ Performance times: 11:00, 12:30, 15:00 Day 2: Uji Matcha Country Experience, Kobe Port Shopping🛍️ Day3: Gassho Village, Miyama-cho, Arashiyama, Kyoto, Moon Crossing Bridge, Bamboo Forest🌲 Trail Gassho Village is located in the northern part of Kyoto, the place is more remote, it is easier to reach by car 🚙🚘. If you have traffic difficulties, you can focus on Arashiyama for a day trip and take a small train🚂 to enjoy the scenery. Tickets for the mini train must be booked in advance or there will be no space. The season of cherry blossoms🌸 and autumn leaves🍁 is even more popular. Day 4: Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine⛩️, Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, Nienenzaka, Sannenzaka, Yasaka Shrine 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Kyoto Ancient City, Shimizuzaka entire street is characteristic souvenirs, and tatami mode Starbucks coffee☕️ Day5: Shopping in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, food sweeping in Dotonbori The most famous is octopus roll 🐙, but be careful when comparing prices, the prices of different stalls vary greatly. [Tips] 1. Kiyomizu Temple Kyoto Ancient City Day Trip, it is recommended to walk downhill from Kiyomizu Temple to Yasaka Shrine⛩️, if you walk from Yasaka Shrine to Kiyomizu Temple, it is uphill. Also arrive earlier at Kiyomizu Temple to avoid crowds. 2. You can experience a day in a kimono, recommend Okamoto kimono shop, to make an appointment in advance to ensure that a clerk can help you wear a kimono at the time of arrival 💞Reason for recommendation: Experience the flavor of ancient Japanese culture. 📍Address: 546-8 Higashi-6-chome, Gojobashi, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto 3. It is necessary to go to the toilet before wearing a kimono, and pay attention to your diet, otherwise wearing a kimono to the toilet is very troublesome. 4. You can purchase a day pass via Keihan Tram, which makes it easier to travel between Kyoto and Osaka than taking the JR Kintetsu to visit the attractions around Kyoto Kiyomizu Temple, which stops at major tourist attractions.

Kansai includes areas of Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga, Mie, Nara, Wakayama, and Hyogo. Going to Japan to play Kansai is mainly to Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. Kansai is the birthplace of Japan, and the intensity of historical sites is the highest in Japan. The most famous in Osaka is food and shopping. Especially for food, Kansai people often use the saying "Osaka eats down" to describe the prosperity of their eating culture. For shopping, Osaka is home to two of Kansai's most prosperous business districts Namba and Umeda. In Kyoto, you can see ancient buildings with thousands of years of history, and you can also see the costumed geisha on the street of the garden. You can also experience the highest level of authentic Japanese Kaiseki cuisine on behalf of Japanese cuisine. I bought the quaint water-cut porcelain. Today, Naras live sign is a group of small deer that are stocked in the city. They gather between Nara Park and the mountains and are friendly with people. It is the most attractive place in Nara. The birthplace of Japan: As the birthplace of Japan, Kansai is a place of worship for countless Japanese culture lovers. Whether it is "the ancient capital of Kyoto" or Japan's first capital, Nara, you are the ancient capital of the soul of Japan. Shrine Temple: The concentration of temples in Kansai is the first in Japan, and it has become a treasure trove of religious culture and architectural travellers. The world's kitchen: Kansai has never lacked food. Only Osaka, the world kitchen, is enough to make people eat down, not to mention the traditional Kyoto cuisine, Uji's matcha flavor.
