Yamato City Event Tourism Association
Jan. 4, 2024
Nice to meet you! We are the Yamato City Event and Tourism Association in Kanagawa Prefecture. Yamato City in Kanagawa Prefecture sits in the center of Kanagawa and had a population of 243,412 as of December 2023. It is designated as a Special City, a status for areas with populations over 200,000. In this first post, we introduce the many attractions and event information unique to Yamato City! ■■ Tourist information for Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture ■■ ◇ Izumi no Mori Centered on the Yamato water source, this vast park covers about 42 hectares—roughly nine Tokyo Domes. Protected through Kanagawa’s trust movement for nature conservation, it is designated as Kanagawa Trust Green Area and preserves rich natural environments. The park includes a Wetland Botanical Garden, Yamato City Folk House Garden, Fureai Campground (day-camp area), and the Yamato City Nature Observation Center "Shirakashi-no-Ie." At the Fureai Campground, you can even rent cooking and barbecue equipment for day camps free of charge. ◇ Jōhō-ji Temple Located near Izumi no Mori, this temple is one of the Busō Udoshi Kannon Pilgrimage sites, a Kannon pilgrimage centered on the South Tama area of Tokyo Metropolis and Sagamihara City in Kanagawa Prefecture. The quiet, soothing temple grounds bloom with cherry blossoms in spring and offer autumn foliage in fall. ◇ Fureai Forest Facing Izumi no Mori across the Tomei Expressway, Fureai Forest stretches as a woodland themed around water, greenery, and flowers. The park features a Herb Garden, Rose Garden, an Orchard at Higashikari green area, and Fureai Hiroba, offering seasonal delights throughout the year. ◇ Kakurinji Temple Founded in 1569 during the Sengoku period, Kakurinji is a Jōdo sect temple. A wide precinct beyond stone steps is one of its charms, and seasonal sights such as cherry blossoms and azaleas draw visitors. Every January, the temple hosts a traditional Daruma fair. ◇ Naval Air Facility Atsugi Naval Air Facility Atsugi, also known as Atsugi Naval Airfield, straddles Yamato City and Ayase City and covers about 507 square meters as a military airfield. Every April, the base opens to the public for the Japan–U.S. Friendship Spring Festival, featuring impressive aircraft displays, American food, live concerts, and more. ◇ Yamato Yutorinomori Park A beloved local park for sports and recreation, Yutorinomori divides into zones: Picnic Plaza with recreational facilities, a landscaped zone centered on lawns, and the Light Sports Plaza with tennis courts. Near the tennis courts, a barbecue area lets visitors enjoy casual barbecues (reservation required). Within the Picnic Plaza, Wanpaku Plaza features large multi-section playground equipment by age group and is popular with children. ◇ Yamato City Cultural Creation Base Sirius Opened on November 3, 2016, east of Yamato Station, Sirius is a new cultural hub. It houses an arts and culture hall, a well-equipped children’s reading room, music rehearsal studios, and a regional materials corner with exhibitions, offering many attractions. ■■ Event information for Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture ■■ ◇ Yamato Citizen's Festival Held every May, this popular festival attracts many visitors from inside and outside the city. The program includes stage performances and participatory, hands-on events, offering plenty to see and do. About 200 diverse stalls line the venue, and a parade runs for roughly 1.2 kilometers. In 2023, the festival returned after a four-year hiatus, attracting about 90,000 visitors over two days. ◇ Kanagawa Yamato Awa Odori One of the three major Awa Odori dances in the Kanto region, Kanagawa Yamato Awa Odori began over 40 years ago as a local shopping street event. Groups from across the country gather in colorful costumes to perform over two days, presenting an overwhelming spectacle. A summer highlight for Yamato City, the July 29–30, 2023 edition drew around 300,000 attendees. The official website of the Yamato City Event and Tourism Association publishes the Yamato Guide Map. Please check it out! (If you prefer a printed guide map, please visit the Yamato City Event and Tourism Association on the second floor of Yamato City Cultural Creation Base Sirius.)

Isehara Tourism Association
Jan. 4, 2024
Nice to meet you! This is the Isehara City Tourism Association. Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, lies in the center of Kanagawa and has a population of 101,495 as of December 2023. About one third of its total area is covered by forests and wilderness, making it a region rich in nature. It also boasts excellent access—about 60 minutes from Shinjuku Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line (Rapid Express/Express). In this first post, we introduce Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, focusing on its sightseeing spots! ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ Sightseeing Information for Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ ■ Mt. Ooyama / Oyama Cable Car / Daisenji Temple / Oyama Afuri Shrine Mt. Ooyama, at 1,251.7 meters and part of Tanzawa-Ōyama Quasi-National Park, is one of the most popular hiking spots in the Kanto region. In 2016 it was designated a Japan Heritage site. From the summit you can see the Sagami Plain and even Tokyo’s skyscrapers on clear days, and the mountain is listed among Kanagawa’s 50 scenic spots. ・Oyama Cable Car The Ōyama Cable Line, commonly called the Oyama Cable Car, is a 0.8 km cable car. With large windows to enjoy Ooyama’s nature, it provides easy access toward the summit. ・Daisenji Temple Daisenji sits on the mountainside and is also known as Mount Amefuri. In autumn the maple trees flanking the stone steps to the main hall turn brilliant red, making it a famous spot for autumn foliage. A “Momiji Festival” is held and draws many visitors. There are four types of goshuin (temple stamps), including a striking gold-letter special edition. [Access: Get off at Daisenji Station on the Oyama Cable Car, about a 3-minute walk] ・Oyama Afuri Shrine Founded over 2,200 years ago, the shrine enshrines the three deities Ōyamatsumi no Ōkami, Ooi-Kazuchi-no-Kami, and Takaokami-no-Kami. The main shrine sits at the summit of Mt. Ooyama, with the lower shrine located on the mountainside. The view from Afuri Shrine Station on the Oyama Cable Car, which earned two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, is a must-see when you get off the cable car. [Access: Get off at Afuri Shrine Station on the Oyama Cable Car] ■ Hinata Yakushi Officially named Hinatayama Hojo-bo, it enshrines a Yakushi Nyorai carved from a single block of wood and is one of Japan’s three great Yakushi temples. Until the end of the Edo period it was called Mount Hyūga Ryōzen-ji and served as a center for Hinata Shugendo, where monks practiced ascetic training in this sacred area. Every year in mid-September red spider lilies bloom around Hinata Yakushi and attract many visitors. Hinata Yakushi offers many sights starting with the Kongorikishi statues along the approach. The Hoden, built to store cultural properties, houses 23 historic Buddhist statues, including eight nationally designated items and two prefecturally designated items. The Yakushi-do, the main hall with its thatched roof, is also designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. ■ Isehara Tounoyama Ryokuchi Park The park and citizen green space together cover about 13 hectares, with trails and lawns where you can relax and enjoy nature at a gentle pace. The well-maintained paths make hiking enjoyable and safe even for small children. ■ Mitakeen This mikan orchard covers about 1 hectare and grows approximately 900 mikan trees. Mikan picking season runs from mid-September to around February. From mid-September you can pick early varieties such as Hinano-hime and Nitta No. 1, and from early October varieties like Miyagawa wase and Taguchi wase are available. From spring through summer you can also enjoy barbecues and vegetable-harvesting experiences. Because Mitakeen sits on the mountainside, on clear days you can enjoy views of Sagami Bay, Enoshima, and the Boso Peninsula. ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ Event Information for Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ Isehara City hosts a variety of events throughout the year. ■ Setsubun Festival Celebrities are invited and events are held at sites such as Oyama Afuri Shrine, Sannomiya Hibita Shrine, and Isehara Daijingu Shrine. [Held: the day before Risshun (the beginning of spring)] ■ Sannomiya Hibita Shrine Spring Grand Festival Hibita Shrine has been known as a power spot since the Jomon period. The spring grand festival features three colorful karakuri doll floats parading through town. Traditional folk kagura performances take place on the shrine grounds and are another highlight. Festival stalls line the streets—about 200 vendors in 2023. [Held: usually in April] ■ Painted Lantern Festival Handmade painted lanterns line Oyama Shinmichi (the bypass), creating a magical scene that lights the night. Lantern designs include Edo-period woodblock print motifs and popular characters. A stamp rally and other events are held during the festival. [Held: mid to late August every year] ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ Accommodation Information for Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture ─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─・─ Isehara offers inns, temple lodgings, and hotels tucked into quiet mountain valleys.

The bottle is a sunset scene from the top of the forest Ehime Prefecture. The silhouette on the right side of the photo is a shrine at the top of the mountain. On the front of the shrine is written "Ishidoyama Daigongen Women's Path", and inside the shrine is Ishido Kongo Zao Daigongen. The mountain you can see in front of you is Mt. Ishizuchi, the highest peak in Shikoku. In the majestic nature, the mind is cleansed and you feel reverent. It is an ancient mountain worship and the original scenery of Japan that we want to preserve for the future.

『Link More HIMEJI』 2023.11.30 pm9:03 Taken in front of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. I saw the light-up show of the commercial facility "Piore Himeji" in front of Himeji Station. The illumination on the wall vividly colors the city at night. The square in front of the castle is also lit up as a project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Himeji Castle World Heritage Site, and the illumination imitating matches, which is a local industry in Himeji, is shining. Sightseeing in Himeji at night is hot!

Higashiizu Tourism Association
Dec. 29, 2023
Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Videos, nice to meet you. We are the Higashiizu Town Tourism Association in Shizuoka Prefecture! Higashiizucho, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a town rich in nature on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula. Along the coast, six hot spring areas—Okawa Onsen, Hokkawa Onsen, Atagawa Onsen, Katase Onsen, Shirata Onsen, and Inatori Onsen—have developed the town as a hot spring destination. For this first post on Cool Japan Videos, we bring you a taste of what makes Higashiizucho in Shizuoka Prefecture special, including recommended sights and activities! ◎ Tourist information for Higashiizucho, Shizuoka Prefecture ◆ Izu Animal Kingdom (formerly Izu Biopark) Perched on a hill above Izu Inatori Onsen, this is a full-scale leisure park. Often called "Anikin," it is beloved by visitors. At Izu Animal Kingdom you can see animals up close and even enjoy feeding experiences with giraffes and tigers (including a white tiger)! The area around Restaurant Animal Kingdom is also part of the zoo, letting you dine while watching large predators. The park also includes an amusement area, sports facilities, a plum garden called Umezono, and "Dinosaur Forest," featuring various dinosaur sculptures. There are so many attractions that a full day of fun awaits. ◆ Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden This tropical botanical garden houses about 100 crocodiles across 16 species. Beyond crocodiles, it is the only place in Japan to keep the white-handed gibbon and the Amazonian manatee. The greenhouse uses Atagawa’s hot spring heat to grow roughly 5,000 tropical plants, including banana trees and tropical water lilies—an absolute must-see. Bananas and papayas harvested on site are served at the attached fruit parlor. ◆ Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road With its magical atmosphere, Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road was selected as one of the One Hundred Moon Views of Japan. "Moon Road" refers to the path of moonlight reflected on the sea surface. Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road ranked first in the "I want to visit" category of the Fujinokuni Angel Power Spot poll, voted on by Shizuoka residents. Some say wishes made at the Moon Road come true. The best time to see the Moon Road clearly is on and around the full moon. ◆ Lion Rock Lion Rock is a large rock at the water’s edge on the coast of Okawa Onsen. It is named Lion Rock because it looks like a lion lying down and roaring into the distance. You can see it while driving down Japan National Route 135. *Because you cannot park and view it, please avoid looking away from the road while driving.* ◎ Leisure and activity information for Higashiizucho, Shizuoka Prefecture ◆ Coastal town cycling The Higashiizu Town Tourism Association offers an electric-assist bicycle rental service. We provide full-day private plans and time-based plans. Enjoy a relaxed cycling trip while feeling the sea breeze. ◎ Event information for Higashiizucho, Shizuoka Prefecture ◆ Inatori Onsen Hanging Hina Doll Festival This traditional event at Inatori Onsen has been passed down since the Edo period. "Hanging hina decorations" are ornaments hung beside the hina doll display. These hanging decorations come in many shapes, including flowers, rabbits, peaches, purses, and the sanbanko (three-tiered pull). It is a popular spring event. ◎ Furusato tax-deduction (hometown tax) information for Higashiizucho, Shizuoka Prefecture Through Higashiizucho’s hometown tax program you can receive local specialties and more. A popular return gift is a stay plan at a hot spring inn with an exceptional location. We also recommend the regular delivery of luxurious seafood feasts and the branded dried Inatori Kinme red bream. Please check the variety of Higashiizucho specialties on each hometown tax site. Higashiizucho, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture, offers seasonal scenery, abundant hot springs, and delicious gourmet food—there is plenty to enjoy. We will continue to share tourist and event information here, so please stay tuned!
