📍Hanakanuki Valley In Ono, Takahagi City, Ibaraki Prefecture Access: 44 minutes on foot from Wano Iriguchi bus stop/Ibaraki Kotsu ✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲✲ Famous spots for autumn leaves in Ibaraki From Kotakizawa Campsite along the valley, the view near Shiomitaki Suspension Bridge is spectacular Shiomitaki Suspension Bridge is about 60m long The branches of the trees growing along the river jut out from both sides to form a gorgeous green tunnel. I was soothed by the murmuring of the Hananuki River and the green maples shining in the sunlight. The parking lot isn't very large, so I think it will be very crowded during the autumn foliage season. #Ibaraki #Kitaibaraki #Hanakanuki Valley #Green Maple #Autumn Leaves #0 Yen Trip

#cherryblossom25 Hananuki Valley is a total hidden gem. It’s not one of those polished parks — it’s wild, raw, and ridiculously scenic. Picture this: a suspension bridge dangling over a lush river gorge, with cherry trees blooming along the banks and mist rising between the cliffs. I went early in the morning, and there were only a few hikers around. The trail is peaceful, with little wooden footbridges and moss-covered rocks lining the way. I took one of my favorite #cherryblossom25 photos from the red bridge — pink petals, deep green forest, and that foggy mountain air that just hits different. It’s great for solo travelers or couples looking to slow down and breathe. Bring hiking shoes and snacks, and get ready for a sakura experience that feels untouched.

#Overseas travel Akihabara visit review - Otaku's mecca, the mecca of otaku culture! **#Overseas travel #It's the best #Travel plan #Overseas travel #Japan travel Akihabara** is one of the neighborhoods with the most unique atmosphere in Tokyo. It's a place where you can feel Japanese subculture most strongly, such as animation, games, electronics, figures, and idol culture. ⸻ 📍 Things to do in Akihabara 1️⃣ Shopping for anime, manga, and game goods Akihabara is full of specialty stores selling anime and game-related products. ✔ AmiAmi → Figures, a variety of goods, and relatively cheap ✔ Animate → A good place to buy official goods ✔ Mandarake → A lot of used figures and limited edition products 🔹 Impressions: If you actually go around, the prices of the same products can be different in each store, so it's important to compare. If you like figures or limited edition goods, you'll lose track of time! ⸻ 2️⃣ Exploring electronics & retro games ✔ Sofmap, Yodobashi Camera → You can buy the latest electronics and game consoles ✔ Super Potato → Sells retro game consoles and classic game software 🔹 Impressions: It's better to look at the latest electronics at large stores like Yodobashi Camera, and if you're looking for retro games or rare products, stores like Super Potato are more interesting. ⸻ 3️⃣ Maid Cafe Experience When you think of Akihabara, you can't miss out on maid cafes. ✔ @Home Cafe → The most famous maid cafe, friendly service ✔ Maidreamin → Anime-like atmosphere 🔹 What I felt: The staff were so friendly that they seemed like they jumped out of an anime. You can take pictures or make special orders (e.g., "cute picture omelet rice"), so you can enjoy it without feeling pressured even if it's your first time. However, the prices are a bit on the expensive side. ⸻ 4️⃣ Akihabara's unique atmosphere & street exploration ✔ On weekends, it's a car-free street (pedestrian paradise, 歩行者天国) → There are a lot of cosplayers, so there's a lot to see ✔ Game center (Taito Station, Sega Akihabara) → Popular with crane game and rhythm game enthusiasts 🔹 What I felt: Just walking around Akihabara is a very unique and fun place. On weekends, the streets are filled with cosplayers, making the atmosphere even more lively, and the arcades are filled with people playing the latest rhythm games or crane games. ⸻ ⛅ What's disappointing? ❌ Some stores are often expensive (comparative shopping is a must) ❌ It may be difficult to move around during peak hours due to the large number of tourists ❌ Maid cafes offer average food quality compared to the price ⸻ 🎯 Overall - The best travel destination if you like subculture! Akihabara is not just a shopping area, but a place where you can experience the essence of Japanese subculture firsthand. It is a must-visit mecca for those interested in otaku culture, with various elements such as anime, games, figures, electronics, and maid cafes all gathered together! ✔ Highly recommended for anime & game nerds! ✔ A place worth visiting if you want to experience a different side of Tokyo!
