I went to the "Yanize Suspension Bridge" in Totsukawa Village, Nara Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ Japan's longest suspension bridge✿ﾟ❀.(*´▽`*)❀.ﾟ✿ Surrounded by mountains, the view of the Totsukawa River flowing below is spectacular♡Kyaa (∀〃(〃∀)Kyaa♡ There are wooden boards laid out at your feet, but you can't stand on the net at the edge The sign "No more than 20 people allowed on" makes you wonder if it's fragile? It makes you feel scared ( ；´Д｀)Heehee Also, since it's a suspension bridge, it does sway quite a bit (｡>﹏<｡)💦💦 But it's nice to walk in the air with such a spectacular view (ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)♡ 🏍Yanize Suspension Bridge🏍 Address: 65-2 Uenoji, Totsukawa-mura, Yoshino-gun, Nara Prefecture Opening hours: 24 hours Admission fee: Free #Domestic travel #Nara Prefecture #Totsukawa-mura #Yanase suspension bridge #Nara trip #Nara sightseeing #Nara trip #Amazing view #Suspension bridge #Japan's best suspension bridge #Touring #Scenery

Yunotani Senkei, located in Totsukawa Village, Nara Prefecture, is a hideaway-like inn for adults where you can relax in a completely natural hot spring, which is poured from a 570-year-old spring without adding water, heating, or circulating filtration. It is located in a very quiet place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so you can relax both body and mind. Photos 1-3 are of the large public bath (taken with the permission of the facility). The sound of the babbling brook nearby is also soothing. [Photos 4-5] The view from the large public bath to the guest rooms. [Photo 6] The entrance to the guest rooms. All nine buildings are independent detached buildings. The moment I stepped inside the building, I was surprised to be greeted by the aroma of hot spring water wafting through the air. [Photos 7-8] This time, I was able to stay in a suite! As expected, it was very spacious and comfortable. [Photo 9] All drinks are free to drink. [Photos 10-12] The indoor bath and open-air bath in the room. Both are completely natural hot springs, with no water added, no heating, and no circulating filtration. As a result, the water is very hot, and needs to be adjusted with cold water. (Photo 13) An ultra-luxurious dinner! A variety of Japanese dishes made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients from the Kii Peninsula are served in beautiful tableware, making it a delight to both taste and look at. (Photo 14) Earthenware pot with matsutake mushrooms and other mushrooms from Totsukawa. I was surprised at how many matsutake mushrooms were included! (Photo 15) This is a rare type of wagyu beef called "Mikumano beef," of which only about 100 are shipped out each year, and the meat just melted in my mouth! (Photo 16) Salt-grilled sweetfish from Totsukawa. Personally, I often find the smell of sweetfish to be a problem, but this wasn't the case at all and was absolutely delicious! (Photo 17) For dessert, we had pear compote. [Photo 18] Breakfast was also delicious! Since dinner was heavy, I felt that they had been considerate in providing me with something easy on the stomach in the morning. I was able to fill my stomach with high-quality food and relax in the soothing hot springs... it was a very fulfilling stay. #tripAccommodationReport

Although it has a hotel in the name, it is actually a cafe where you can eat delicious food while looking down on the Toro Gorge valley. The building used to be an inn, but the fourth generation owner renovated it into a cafe, so the name remains a hotel. It is certainly quite old-fashioned lol There is also an observation point of Toro Gorge next to the hotel👀 Reservations are required for meals, and some dishes require reservations 3 days in advance📞 It's a pain, but it's definitely worth it❤️ . . . 📍Toro Hotel Cafe 🗺️ Nara, Japan 🕑11:30- 💰¥2000 #tripfood #cafehopping #greatview

#FuriTabi This time, I came to offer my thanks with my cousin from Tokyo. This was my fifth visit, but my first formal visit. I first came to Tamaki Shrine four years ago, and since then, the flow of my family has changed dramatically. Please come and visit the shrine. Please note that for formal visits, men must wear a suit, and women must be dressed in a similar outfit. I wore a navy blue dress. It is better to wear something with sleeves, not sleeveless. 📍Address: 1 Tamakigawa, Totsukawa-mura, Yoshino-gun, Nara Prefecture 647-1582

The Yagi-Shingu Line is the longest bus route in Japan, stretching 169.85 km from Yamato-Yagi Station in Nara Prefecture to Shingu Station in Wakayama Prefecture. It has 168 stops, and the journey takes an amazing 6 hours and 30 minutes from the start to the end. It boasts the longest travel distance in Japan among routes that do not use expressways. Along the way, you will pass by Tanize Suspension Bridge, the longest suspension bridge used for daily life in Japan, Totsukawa Village, the largest village in Japan, the World Heritage Site "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range," and many hot springs that are known only to those in the know, so you will never get bored of enjoying the scenery along the way. In addition, if you ride the entire Yagi-Shingu Line from Yamato-Yagi Station to Shingu Station on the same bus, you will receive a commemorative gift. Ride the entire longest bus route in Japan and get a souvenir to remember your trip. #bustrip

#japantripTamaki Shrine is a sacred place that perfectly fits the phrase "a place you can only go to if called by the gods." Its deep history and mysterious atmosphere give a unique charm to visitors. The journey to the shrine is like an adventure crossing the mountains, and once you arrive you are enveloped in a sacred atmosphere. Once you visit, you will never forget the special atmosphere, and you will want to return again and again. However, because it is a sacred place, it is required to pay respect and quietly purify your mind.
