Speaking of spring in Tochigi, Ashikaga Flower Park is the place to go! The beautiful wisteria trellis, recognized worldwide, looks like purple curtains falling from the sky. A wide variety of wisteria, including large wisteria, double wisteria, white wisteria, and yellow ikibana wisteria, bloom in full glory, overwhelming the viewer. The wisteria is refreshing and elegant in the daytime sunlight, and transforms into a fantastic and romantic atmosphere when lit up at night. It's truly a flower theme park that you can enjoy all day long. The famous wisteria soft serve ice cream, which you often see on social media, is available right after entering from the main entrance, so I bought and ate it, but after that it was sold everywhere, so you may not need to rush to buy it at the main entrance...🍦 That's because if you buy it at the west entrance, you can take a great shot of the large wisteria and the soft serve ice cream (you can take a picture of the wisteria and the soft serve together)📷 So I recommend buying it at the west entrance! 🍦📷 Access🚃 About a 3-minute walk from Ashikaga Flower Park Station on the JR Ryomo Line. Easy access from the city center, about an hour and a half by train from Tokyo. The best time to see the wisteria is usually from mid-April to mid-May. It will be especially crowded during Golden Week, so it is recommended to go early in the morning on a weekday or at night when the lights are on. It's a must-visit spot for those who want to be soothed by the beauty of nature, as well as for taking great photos on social media. #DomesticTravel #TochigiTrip #AshikagaFlowerPark #TochigiTourism

#0yentravelFebruary2025 I had business nearby and landed in Utsunomiya for the first time. A one-minute walk away was a gyoza restaurant [Koran], which is one of Tabelog's top 100 restaurants 🥟🥟🥟 I had to go, so I waited in line for about 20 minutes. The menu only has gyoza, so the turnover is fast ♻️ So you can get in without having to wait too long 😉 There are three types of gyoza: fried, deep-fried, and boiled, but the deep-fried gyoza are limited in quantity so they were sold out 😮 We ordered fried gyoza, boiled gyoza, and oolong tea for two people. Adding homemade chili oil to soy sauce gives it a fragrant taste ✨ You can also customize the boiled gyoza to your liking with homemade chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper, etc. ♪ It was very delicious 🤭🩷 Takeout souvenirs were also sold at reasonable prices! 📍1-24 Honmachi, Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture #Utsunomiya #TochigiTrip #Tochigi #GourmetTrip

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been a post town on the Nikko Reibeishi Kaido road since the Edo period.

"Mini Kamakura at Sawaguchi Riverbed" certified as a Japanese Night View Heritage On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays during the period, hundreds of mini kamakura will be lit with candles, creating a fantastical world. Mini igloos are lined up at the Heike no Sato site, and at night they are lit with candles, warmly lighting up the whole village. When I went this time, I thought I would be able to enter all of the mini igloos. But no way? I didn't expect the area to be so small... It's a shame that it's only held on weekends, when there are a lot of people. It's almost impossible to get a photo without people in it, and it was quite difficult to take a photo of the mini igloo in the foreground and the igloo under the riverbed together.

It was a restaurant I would like to return to again. #0yentravel2025January #Tochigi #Tochigitrip #Tochigigourmet #Kinugawa #Hamburger #Hamburgershop
