One day trip to Shizuoka prefecture centering on Mishima!

Only 90 minutes from Tokyo. In Shizuoka prefecture, there is a small river called Kakitagawa at the bottom of Mt. Fuji. It’s a short river only 1.2 km long total, but with its water so transparent, you can clearly see the bottom of the river.

Lake Biwa in Shiga ~Go on excursion of the lake district~

For six months after October, “The culture of water” campaign will take place in Shiga, especially around lake Biwa. Before the campaign starts, I decided to visit the eastern and northern sides of lake Biwa. The themes of my excursions are “water and life”, “water and prayer”, and “water and food”. I walked around, talk to locals, and ate local cuisine to re-discover the charm of this beautiful area and “The culture of water”.

Bacchus’s Trip in Tohoku “Seeking the Alcohol You Can’t Drink Anywhere but Here”

The trip to Tohoku’s gateway station, Sendai Station, takes about 90 minutes on the Shinkansen from Tokyo. If you walk a bit past Sendai’s main city area, you can find many delicious varieties of alcohol born from the rich nature of Tohoku. This time, I took a trip to both a distillery where you can sample whiskey for free and Miyagi Prefecture’s one and only winery.

Cycling along the Shimanto River in Kochi Prefecture!

What comes to mind when you think of Kochi? Sakamoto Ryoma or katsuo (skipjack tuna), perhaps? Or maybe it’s their plentiful sinking bridges!

About Me

I love hot springs because of both travel and drinking. Up to this point, I have traveled to over 30 different countries. Among them all, Japan shows off the four seasons, from in cities to the countryside. It has a wide variety of appealing points. I will be introducing to you a many of my recommendations from across Japan!

Hobbies/Likes: Traveling, baseball, drinking parties with friends, diving, movies
What I’m good at: Baseball, Making friends instantly

Where in Japan I recommend the most and why to travelers in Japan.: Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima prefecture. It has everything you could ask for in a trip to Japan. History, Traditional craftsmanship, Hot springs, Sake, Ramen and other Japanese delicacies.
Favorite memory from traveling in Japan.: Driving through the Hakkouda mountains. There were huge snow walls on both sides of the road and the road was packed with snow. It was more like skating than driving. I even saw a fox on that trip.
Must do activity for visitors to Japan.: Visit an Onsen (hot springs) in the Tohoku area for at least 3 days. I assure you that you will be refreshed physically and mentally.
