Seaside station 🌊 This little unmanned station in Ehime opened in 1935 and is now a popular photography/tourist spot for being the only station in Japan closest to the sea. Iyonada Monogatari* is a scenic train that runs between Matsuyama Station and Iyo-Ozu /Yawatahama Stations via the Yosan Line (Aiaru Iyo-Nada Line) in Ehime Prefecture and it stops at this station. We didn't get to ride it this round as our schedule didn't align with the train's availability (only runs on weekends and holidays)🥺 Hope we'll have the opportunity to come back again next time 🙏 *Prior reservation is required If you time your rides well, you'll get to enjoy the beautiful sunset too. Full train schedule can be found online (usually once every hour). There is a small free parking lot next to the station for those coming by car. There's nothing around here except a mobile cafe (Shimonada coffee) that operates from 2:30~ 6:00pm 📍Shimonada station, Ehime Save thia post for your future Ehime trip! . . . . #ehime #愛媛 #愛媛旅行 #setouchigram85 #setouchi

Motomiya sai is celebrated a day after doyo no ushi no hi (土用の丑の日)- Day of the Ox and during this festival, rows of red paper lanterns can be seen decorated around Fushimi Inari Taisha. A mesmerising yet mysterious sight to behold especially after sunset as it illuminates the pathway leading to the main shrine. You'll immediately feel as if you've been transported into the spiritual world 😆 One of Kyoto's many unique summer festivals not to be missed! Fushimi Inari Taisha Motomiya Festival/伏見稲荷大社本宮祭 Hours: 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. (23 July) 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. (24 July) Admission: Free 📍Save this post for your future Kyoto summer trip! . . .

Good coffee, ambiance and service. Couldn't ask for anything more. 📝 For those of you who need your coffee fix when visiting Kyoto do save this post! Kyoto may be known for green tea but it's never short of good coffee options. 📍LOCATIONS: - Kurasu Kyoto stand (near kyoto station) - Kurasu Ebisugawa - Kurasu Nishijin Roastery @kurasujp @kurasu.kyoto Am I exaggerating? Maybe. But I honestly think their coffee is 💯 especially their matcha expresso. Perfect combo when you can't decide whether to have matcha or coffee. Just get both😆 . . #kurasu #kyotocoffee #kyotocafe #京都カフェ #kyotoeats #kyotojapan

Who else gets the #Bridgeton vibes whenever they see wisteria? 👀 . . Not a guide but a sneak peak of what I'll be sharing on KO-FI for my upcoming posts. Initially I wanted to compile a list of spots in Kansai you can enjoy wisteria which blooms after sakura but things didn't go as planned because not all of them bloom around the same time, plus sudden temperature surge and heavy rains also affected the flowers😅 have to try again next year! 🥺 Meanwhile enjoy some of the snippets💜 . . #Wisteria #藤 #関西旅行 #Kansai #Osaka #Shiga
