#CanadaFlightEvent #JapanTravel #OverseasTravel #Matsuyama Uchiko Village, which is only an hour away from Matsuyama, can be visited as a day trip. 🏠 There are no people and it is quiet, so it is a good place to rest comfortably. There are places worth visiting, such as Kamahaga House, the History and Folklore Museum, and Goshoji, which are included in the Matsuyama Free Coupon. If you have time left during your trip to Matsuyama, I recommend a day trip to the nearby area!

📍Uchiko Town A nostalgic landscape spreads before you, as if you had traveled back in time. Uchiko was a town that prospered from the late Edo period to the Taisho period through the production of wood wax. The streets of Yokaichi and Gokoku still retain a strong trace of that time. Traditional townhouses and wealthy merchants' mansions stand side by side along the 600m street, just as they were back then. If you take a leisurely stroll, you'll notice the pale yellow earthen walls. These walls are made from local soil. The contrast between the white plaster and the yellow ochre creates a unique, warm landscape. It shows different expressions depending on the time and season. #0yentravelFebruary2025

#New York Flight Ticket Event I went to the small city of Uchiko from Matsuyama Uchiko used to be a prosperous town with many old memories, and I stayed in a two-story house that was renovated from an old warehouse. There is a living room, a small garden, and a bathtub on the first floor, and a bedroom on the second floor It was cold because it was an old house, but it was a cozy and warm place where I really enjoyed my stay A two-story house costs 180,000 won per night, and it seems like 4 people can sleep comfortably I recommend Uchiko Cocoro #It's the best #Uchiko accommodation

ㅇ#New York flight event This is the first time I learned that Japan is famous for wax! It was written that they export a lot of wax and make a lot of money, so I wondered if there were that many reasons to use wax? But I was surprised to see that wax is in various things I use, from cosmetics to crayons, more than I thought. ㅎㅎ

#New YorkFlightEvent This is a place I visited with a free coupon for Koreans. It was a place where you can see Japan's past at the Uchiko Museum of Commerce and Lifestyle! In between, dolls were decorated to look like real people, and it was a little creepy because they were so realistic. Hehe There was even a recorded voice in the middle, and it was a place that surprised me at first.

#NewYorkFlightEvent A cute dessert shop on Uchiko Street! The packaging was so good that it would be a good place to buy souvenirs. There were cute cat interiors here and there, and the shop itself was cute and pretty, so it was nice to look around. ㅎㅎ

#New York Flight Ticket Event I heard that many people use the walking pass to travel from Uchiko Station to Ozu Station to Shimonada Station, so I arrived at Uchiko Station. There were really no people, so I thought that this was the charm of a small city! It felt like I was in the countryside, haha It was a neighborhood with a great atmosphere and Japanese buildings.

It's a branch of the largest wax manufacturer in Japan...but it was a top-notch mansion💰 If this is the case for a branch, what about the main house🥺 It also doubles as a wax factory, so you can learn about wax making🌳 It was nice to hear from the guide, but it seems he's off on Wednesdays💤 I recommend visiting Uchikoza and the History and Folklore Museum (Museum of Commerce and Life) with a three-museum combined ticket. . . . 📍Wax Museum Kamiyoga Residence 🗺️Ehime, Japan 🕑9:00-16:30 💰¥500/Three-museum combined ticket ¥900 #FuriTabi #DomesticTravel #ShikokuTrip

Uchiko Town in Ehime Prefecture still retains its traditional streetscape. It prospered through wood wax production, and is still known as a producer of Japanese candles. At the museum, which uses talking dolls to recreate the life of the Taisho era, you can enter an old house and get a glimpse of how people lived in the past. 🤖 If you buy a joint ticket for the three museums, you can also enter Uchikoza Theater and the Wood Wax Museum Kamihaga Residence in the same town, so it is recommended to buy a joint ticket. . . . 📍Museum of History and Folklore (Museum of Commerce and Life) 🗺️Ehime, Japan 🕑9:00-16:30 💰¥200/Combined ticket for the three museums ¥900 #FuriTabi #DomesticTravel #ShikokuTrip

#Uchiko Yoneya#Garyusanso If you buy a JR walking course ticket in Matsuyama, you can use the train to go back to Matsuyama via Upiko Iyo-Ozu Shimonada as much as you want for a day. It costs 3,600 yen, but it's worth it. If you go to Uchiko, there is a theater that still performs Kabuki performances from the Taisho period. It's called Uchikoza. If you walk down slowly from Gosho, There is a restaurant called 'Yoneya', which is called the number one local restaurant. The menu selected by the restaurant owner's grandfather is Kaisendon for 1,700 yen. It tastes clean. There is a fork in the road between Garyusanso and Ozu Castle at Iyo-Ozu Station. I went to Garyusanso because of the time. It's good to stare blankly at the river, and the Japanese garden is so beautiful. You can see the sunset at Shimonada Station, but I didn't have a good day, so I just came back. In these areas, most restaurants are closed on weekdays. There are many places, so Prepare some snacks and go I got takeout from a hamburger place called 'sliver back' across from Iyozu Station I had a delicious meal at Shimonada Station
