Day by Day
Day 1
Umi-Hotaru via Tokyo Bay Aqua Line 海ほたる（東京湾アクアライン）
The Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line took approximately 20 years of research and 10 years of construction, and it opened on December 18, 1997. Its construction brought together state-of-the-art technology and expertise at the time, with numerous new techniques and methods developed and put into practice, earning it the nickname "the civil engineering Apollo project." Overcoming many challenges such as soft seabed conditions, natural factors like wind, tides, or earthquakes, as well as navigating ship traffic within Tokyo Bay and ensuring environmental conservation, the project was completed.
Spanning approximately 10 kilometers on the Kawasaki side as an undersea tunnel (the Aqua Tunnel) and about 5 kilometers on the Kisarazu side as a bridge (the Aqua Bridge), the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line features Japan's first offshore rest facility, the "Umihotaru."
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple 成田山新勝寺
Walk along the winding Narita Omotesando shopping street to reach Naritasan Shishoji Temple, a sprawling temple complex that dates all the way back to A.D. 940. ILmpressive architecture, a rich calendar of events and proximity to Naira Int’l. Airport make Naritasan Shinshoji Temple a worthy addition to any Tokyo layover.
Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is the headquarters of the Shingon Sect’s Chizan School, built by the great priest Kancho in 940. One of three major temples in the Kanto area dedicated to Fudomyo-o, the god of fire, Shishoji is visited by many worshipers each year.
Naritasan Park spreads over 165,000sqm. with breathtaking natural beauty through the four seasons.
Mito Kairakuen Garden 水戸偕楽園
Kairakuen is one of the most popular attractions in Ibaraki Prefecture. It was created in 1842 by the ninth lord of the Mito domain, Tokugawa Nariaki. Like a modern public park, the garden was designed not only for the feudal lord and his warriors to enjoy, but also for the public. It is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan, along with Kenrokuen in Kanazawa and Korakuen in Okayama. The view from the Rakujuro （楽寿）on the third floor of the Kobuntei （好文亭）is exceptional.
Besshunkan Plum Wine Museum (Mito) 別春館
Besshunkan is a museum of plum wine and sake attached to the headquarters of Meiri Shurui Co., Ltd. It is located about a 15-minute walk from the south exit of Mito Station and features exhibits of various tools used in sake production, as well as direct sales and tasting of products.
The name "Besshunkan" originates from a statement made by the second lord of Mito Domain, Mito Mitsukuni (also known as "Komon-sama"), who said, "In a cup, there is another spring," referring to the perpetual freshness found in a cup of sake.
Day 2
Hitachi Seaside Park 国営ひたち海浜公園
Hitachi Seaside Park is an expansive stretch of land on the Pacific coast that boasts a stunning array of flowers that bloom in all seasons. From mid-April to early May, approximately 5.3 million Nemophila bloom across a 4.2-hectare hillside. Nemophila is also known as Ruri-karakusaso in Japanese or baby blue eyes in English. This breathtaking sight is attracting attention from both domestic and international visitors. Nemophila is a delicate flower with blue or light blue petals, each about 2 cm in size, and it grows to a height of 10-20 cm.
In addition to the Nemophila, 32,000 bright red Kochia plants have become a representative feature of the Park. Starting from early July, under the summer sun, the lime-green Kochia plants grow vigorously, exhibiting their charming, round, and soft-textured appearance. In early October, they gradually transition from their summer green color to a beautiful gradient of green and red as they start to turn autumnal. The vivid red foliage that blankets the hillside in late autumn is truly a sight to behold.
Ryujin Suspension Bridge 竜神大吊橋
The Ryujin Otsuribashi Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge that stretches for a total length of 446 meters, with a central span (distance between the main towers) of 375 meters. It is one of the "largest in Japan" in terms of length for pedestrian-only suspension bridges. The bridge is suspended above the Ryujin Dam, which was built to impound the Ryujin River, flowing through the picturesque V-shaped valley.
The height from the dam's lake surface is 100 meters, and from the bridge, you can enjoy panoramic views of the changing seasons throughout the year.
Kashiwaya Hoten Usukawa Manju (Koriyama) 柏屋本店 薄皮饅頭
I wonder how many types of manju (steamed bun filled with sweet bean paste) there are throughout Japan. Among them, Kashiwaya's Usukawa Manju is said to be one of Japan's three major manju along with the "Ote Manju" (Ote Manju Ibeya - Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture), and the "Shiose Manju" (Shiose Souhonke - Tokyo). But, who named it that way?
The origin of manju lies in China. However, when you mention manju in China, it refers to buns made from wheat flour stuffed with lamb or pork, or sometimes steamed buns with no filling. But calling a bun with sweet bean paste filling manju is a unique aspect of Japanese food culture.
In the fifth year of Kaei (1852), the first-generation owner of Kashiwaya, Honma Zenbei, conceived the idea of making manju with plenty of sweet bean paste and thin skin at a tea house in the Koriyama-juku Post Town along the Oshu Kaido Road. His inspiration came from the belief that just as medicine is needed for illness, the healthy also require the warmth of the heart. Since then, that sentiment has been passed down to this day.
Koriyama’s Soul Food ‘Creambox’ 郡山名物「クリームボックス」
Cream Box? It's a confectionery bread originating from Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture, consisting of thick slices of bread topped with a milk-flavored white cream. It is said to have been first sold at a bakery called Romeo in 1976, and its taste is still supported by the citizens of Koriyama City even after nearly half a century. The shape and dough may vary depending on the bakery, resulting in an increasing variety of variations.
Lake Inawashiro 猪苗代湖
The waters of Lake Inawashiro have enchanted visitors for thousands of years. Its pristine surface reflects the towering presence of Mount Bandai and the expanse of the sky above, earning it the moniker 'Heavenly Mirror Lake.' As the fourth-largest lake in Japan, it holds a special allure. Inawashiro Town is renowned as the birthplace of Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, a celebrated Japanese bacteriologist of international acclaim.
Urabandai National Park 裏磐梯国立公園
The Urabandai Plateau, nestled at the base of Mount Bandai at an elevation of 800 meters, is a renowned highland resort area in Japan cherished for its breathtaking natural scenery. Beyond the iconic landmarks of Mount Bandai, Lake Hibara, and Goshikinuma (Five Colored Ponds), Urabandai unveils a tapestry of enchanting wonders. From mystical lakes to crystal-clear streams, the region boasts a plethora of scenic attractions that showcase nature's unparalleled beauty.
Day 3
Ouchijuku Post Town 大内宿
Ouchijuku, located in southern Aizu, Fukushima Prefecture, prospered during the Edo period as an important post town on the road connecting Aizu Wakamatsu City and Nikko Imaichi. To this day, traditional thatched-roof houses from the Edo period line the streets, and residents live in these buildings, preserving the architectural heritage of that era.
In 1981, Ouchijuku was designated as a nationally selected Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District. In order to pass on this precious village and post town landscape to future generations, the residents have created a community charter, adhering to the three principles of "not selling, not leasing, not destroying." They are dedicated to preserving the landscape and acquiring and passing on traditional thatched roofing techniques for the benefit of all.
Tsurugajo Castle 鶴ヶ城
The symbol of Aizu Wakamatsu City in Fukushima Prefecture, Tsurugajo Castle was built approximately 630 years ago. Officially known as Wakamatsu Castle, it was the first castle in the Tohoku region to be entirely enclosed by stone walls, and it boasted a magnificent appearance befitting a daimyo (feudal lord) under the Toyotomi government.
During the Boshin War of 1868, it gained fame as the "impregnable castle" that withstood the fierce attacks of the new government forces. With its distinctive five-story tower featuring red roof tiles, it is one of Japan's One Hundred Famous Castles. The interior of the tower has been converted into a museum, allowing visitors to delve into the history of Aizu.
Aizu Bukeyashiki （Samurai Residence）会津武家屋敷
The Aizu Buke Yashiki (Aizu Samurai Residences) is a historical theme park located within the reconstructed residence of Saigo Tanomo, a senior retainer of the Aizu Clan with 230,000 koku (a unit of wealth). This facility comprises historical buildings and museums, including designated Important Cultural Properties of Fukushima Prefecture. Among them, the Saigo Tanomo residence, with 38 rooms, is a particularly rare and unique reproduction of a senior retainer's residence, not just within Aizu but also nationwide.
The park also features a shop where you can find Aizu's renowned products and a restaurant serving local Aizu cuisine. It provides an opportunity to experience the history and culture of Aizu from the Edo period to the end of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Aizu Sazaedo Temple 会津さざえ堂
Aizu Sazaedo is a hexagonal three-story temple that was constructed in the 8th year of the Kansei era (1796) on Mt. Iimoriyama in Aizu Wakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Its formal name is "Entsu Sansodo" (円通三匝堂), and it is also known as the "Former Shosouji Sansodo" as designated in the Important Cultural Properties list. At that time, there was a temple called Shosoji on Mt. Iimoriyama, and the temple's head priest, Ikudo, designed this unique structure. In the past, the temple housed thirty-three statues of Kannon Bodhisattva arranged along a double helical ramp. It was believed that by visiting this temple, worshippers could complete the pilgrimage of the thirty-three Kannon images without leaving the temple grounds.
What makes this temple particularly unique in the world of architecture is its one-way design with entirely separate paths for ascending and descending, ensuring that numerous visitors can worship safely without encountering one another. This distinctive architectural style was recognized in architectural history, and in 1996, it was designated as a National Important Cultural Property.
Wappa-meshi わっぱめし
"Wappa" is a traditional Japanese cylindrical container made by bending thin sheets of wood, such as cedar or cypress. When food, such as rice and side dishes, is packed into a wappa, it's referred to as "wappa meshi."
Wappa containers made from wood have the unique property of absorbing moisture in a humid environment and releasing moisture in dry conditions. As a result, wappa meshi retains its rice in a fluffy, just-cooked state and remains delicious even when it cools. In addition to this, wappa containers are lightweight and easy to carry, making them a popular choice for everyday bento boxes. They are beloved not only for their functionality but also for the aesthetic appeal they bring, as they exude the delightful fragrance of wood and add an elegant touch to the presentation.

Tsubame Sanjo 燕三条
The Tsubame-Sanjo area is located approximately in the center of Niigata Prefecture and is well-known for its thriving production of cutlery, hardware, and Western tableware. While there is no specific city named Tsubame-Sanjo, the term is a combined reference to Tsubame City and Sanjo City. Originally, Tsubame was known as a town of craftsmen, while Sanjo was a commercial hub.
The transformation of the Tsubame-Sanjo area into a city of craftsmanship is largely attributed to geographical factors. Surrounded by the Shinano River, which has the highest annual water flow in Japan, and its tributary, the Nakano River, the area experienced frequent flooding. This hindered agricultural development, leading to the recruitment of craftsmen specializing in "wakugi" (Japanese nails) from other regions in the early Edo period. Metal industry flourished as a secondary occupation for farmers, and until the early Meiji period, 80% of the region's industry was dominated by the production of "wakugi."
Yahiko Shrine 弥彦神社
In the 5th year of Taisho (1916), Yahiko Park was established by the Echigo Railway Company in the 7th year of Taisho (1918) following the opening of the Sangu Line (now the JR Yahiko Line) between Yahiko and Iwamuro. It has since become Yahiko Shrine's outer garden and boasts an expansive area of approximately 40,000 square meters. Among them, the "Maple Valley" is renowned as a spot for autumn foliage. The view of the vermilion-painted Tsukimi Bridge combined with the autumn leaves creates a soothing atmosphere for visitors. In the evenings, the autumn leaves are illuminated, transforming the park into a fantastical world.
It is also well-known as a cherry blossom spot, with a long blooming period starting with Somei Yoshino in April and extending to the double-flowered cherry blossoms in early May. Visitors can also enjoy rare local cherry blossom varieties. As the season progresses from fresh greenery to azalea blossoms, you can also enjoy firefly-watching in Yahiko Park. Fireflies gathering near the clear waters enchant not only visitors to Yahiko Park but also those who come to observe them along the surrounding.

Sekijosan Saifukuji Temple 赤城山西福寺
The Saifuku-ji Temple in Mount Akagisan was founded in the late Muromachi period in 1534. What draws many visitors to Saifuku-ji is the intricate carvings, paintings, and decorative plasterwork created by Ishikawa Uncho inside and outside the Kaisan Hall, which is located next to the main hall. These works, produced by the master craftsman of the late Edo period, often referred to as "Japan's Michelangelo," Ishikawa Uncho, have been designated as cultural assets of Niigata Prefecture. These sculptures are so magnificent that Saifuku-ji is sometimes called the "Echigo Nikko Kaisan-do," rivaling Nikko Toshogu Shrine. While all of Uncho's works are worth seeing, the "Dogen Zenji Moko Chofuku no Zu" (Picture of Zen Master Dogen Subduing a Ferocious Tiger) is particularly impressive. Be sure to witness these masterpieces with your own eyes.

It is a historic structure, representing the concerted efforts of the Meiji government towards industrialization.
The most distinctive feature of the Tomioka Silk Mill is that the buildings, constructed over 140 years ago, have been preserved in excellent condition, retaining their original appearance from the time of establishment. This is a rare phenomenon globally, with no comparable modern silk mill existing outside of World Heritage sites.
During its time, the high-quality silk and sericulture techniques produced at the Tomioka Silk Mill spread internationally, contributing to the global development of the silk industry.

"Koedo" means a town that flourished like Edo or a town that evokes the Edo period. Even today, the charming streets lined with storehouses in Koedo Kawagoe continue to attract popularity, bustling with many people on weekends. Depending on the location, such as the "Ichibangai" street lined with storehouses or places with historical significance like "Kitain Temple" associated with the Tokugawa family and "Senba Toshogu Shrine," Koedo Kawagoe presents different expressions.
The symbol of Koedo Kawagoe, the Time Bell Tower, is said to have been initially built by the lord of Kawagoe Castle, Sakai Tadakatsu, between the years Kan'ei 4 (1627) and Kan'ei 11 (1634) in the current location of Tagamachi (present-day Saiwaicho). Since its creation in the early Edo period, the Time Bell has been informing the residents about the essential aspect of "time" in their daily lives.
