2025 Midori Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

The Watarase Keikoku Railway connects Kiryu City in Gunma Prefecture and Nikko City in Tochigi Prefecture. The total length is 44.1 kilometers, along the Watase Gorge, and the journey takes about 80 minutes. This is a very typical private railway route in rural Japan. It can be said to be a railway designed for transportation for residents in the mountains and has a history of about one hundred years. As you can imagine, it once faced the risk of being abandoned in the 1990s, but was later successfully transformed into a tourist destination and preserved. The Watarase Valley Railway is picturesque, with peach and cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, deep green in summer, colorful in autumn, and heavy snow in winter. These days, cherry blossoms and peach blossoms are in full bloom at the stations along the line, dotted with yellow rapeseed flowers and purple flowers, making the scene as colorful as an oil painting. Many small rural train stations in Japan plant cherry blossoms. There are many famous "Sakurami Stations" from north to south, but there are very few stations like the Watarase Keikoku Railway where cherry blossoms and peach blossoms are so large-scale. It is a blooming scene that is like an explosion of colors, and it becomes a must-visit place for tram photography enthusiasts every spring. Transportation: Take the Tobu Railway train bound for Ota from Kita-Senju Station in Tokyo, then transfer to the Watarase Keikoku Railway at Kiryu or Soro Station.

#Tokyo Attractions Caomu Lake is a picturesque lake. Especially in autumn, the lake scenery attracts many tourists to appreciate it. The lake sparkles, and the surrounding trees change with the seasons, presenting a colorful beauty. The clear water of Caomu Lake and the hills surrounding it, when autumn comes, the leaves turn yellow and red, contrasting with the lake surface and forming a magnificent natural picture. Take a stroll by the lake, enjoy the cool breeze, and feel the tranquility and beauty of autumn. In addition, there are many viewing points around Caomu Lake where visitors can quietly appreciate the autumn scenery of the lake, or enjoy a picnic with friends and family to enhance their mutual affection.

It’s been a nice fly with you from Philippines to Tokyo

I heard that there are sunflowers planted in Midori City, Gunma Prefecture, that bloom just in time for autumn, so I went there! As of the end of September, about 80% of the flowers were in bloom. It was a weekday, so there weren't many people there, but it seems like it will be crowded on weekends. There is parking space, but it is limited in number. There is a mountain to the west of the sunflower field, so the entire field starts to be cast in shadow after noon. To take beautiful photos, I recommend visiting in the morning on a sunny day. There is also scaffolding set up, as shown in the third photo, so you can take photos from a high position. #sunflowerfield

It takes more than two hours to get there from Tokyo. The access is quite bad and photography is prohibited inside the stadium, so I was reluctant to go, but the round girls said it was okay to take photos, so I went. The wind is blowing down from Akagi, so it's not uncommon for the wind to blow at around 10 meters per second.
