This spring is said to work gently on neuralgia, chilliness, and poor circulation. The second floor of the hot spring facility is reserved for overnight guests. There are Japanese-style rooms, Western-style rooms, and Japanese-Western hybrid rooms, so you can choose according to group size and how you’d like to spend your time. There is also a self-catering plan without meals, which is popular for family gatherings when people return home and for trips with flexible plans. Reservations are available from Kumita Onsen’s official website. Day-trip bathing is also available in addition to overnight stays.

[A special one just for you ✨] It feels like gazing into a jeweler’s display case! This rumoured patisserie makes everyone’s eyes light up. Introducing Patisserie bianco nero (Patisserie Bianco Nero) . The shop name Bianco Nero (literally "white and black" in Japanese) is also the nickname of the Italian football team Juventus. True to its name, the chic interior is styled in black and white. Beautifully shaped cakes line the display case. They aren’t sliced cakes but individually crafted whole cakes. "We want to deliver a single special cake just for you," and "We want people to enjoy an entire cake filled with our feelings," the pastry chef says. The chef trained as a pastry chef under a French chef at a renowned Western confectionery shop in Shizuoka Prefecture. Deciding to live in a place rich in nature, the chef relocated and opened this shop in Miyoshi in May 2018. On this day, we spoke with a regular customer. "They’re like works of art—when you open the box everyone goes ‘wow’. The sweetness is restrained and the flavours are delicate. There’s no other shop like this," they said. The taste and beauty have built a reputation, attracting visitors who bring coolers from outside the prefecture and many customers from Hiroshima City. Customer gender is about evenly split between men and women. The cake selection changes frequently with the seasons and events. Come by to find your own special cake 😊 *Products and prices are as of the time of publication.* Patisserie bianco nero @patisserie_bianco_nero 📍 2-15-14 Tokaichi South, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture 📞 0824-53-1315 Hours: 10:00–18:00 *Closed when sold out* Closed: every Wednesday and the 1st and 3rd Thursdays Access: about a 3-minute drive from Miyoshi Interchange (Miyoshi IC) Parking: available Other: We recommend reserving the item you want.

A bowl to satisfy both heart and stomach 🍜 Introducing Nagomian, a ramen shop run by an owner who used to be a soba craftsman. The shop name reflects the wish that visitors will relax and take their time. 😊 The interior displays autographs from Carp players, making this a cozy ramen spot that fans visit. Most popular with men is the Miso Vegetable Ramen. Rich miso clings to medium-thick noodles, piled high with vegetables and topped with a large slice of chashu that whets the appetite. You can also request extra back fat and garlic, creating a powerful bowl that will be empty before you know it. 😋 Popular with women is the dashi-forward Kake Chuka.

The season of the sea of fog has arrived ✨ When you think of Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, the sea of fog comes to mind. As autumn deepens and mornings and evenings grow colder, this is the perfect time to see it. The whole town becomes wrapped in white mist, and a quiet time passes as if you were above the clouds. To enjoy the sea of fog, start with the classic Takataneyama. From the observatory, you can watch the mist slowly drift and the morning sun gradually breaking through. One of its charms is how the view changes from day to day. For a relaxed natural setting, go to Okadayama. From the mountaintop the mist spreads to the distant peaks, creating a calm, sea‑like panorama. At Tomishiyama, the contrast between the sea of fog and the mountain ridges is striking. Depending on the day’s weather and light, it reveals a completely different expression. The sea of fog is a special sight that appears only on mornings when weather conditions line up. That’s why the joy of encountering it feels all the more special. It typically takes about two to four hours for the fog to clear. The scene as the mist lifts is beautiful as well ♪ On chilly mornings, set your alarm a little earlier and come to Miyoshi. Why not see the spectacular views the fog creates in Miyoshi? *The photos are from past visits.* ◼ Takataneyama (Sea of Fog Observatory) *Images: 1–2* Address: Awaya‑cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: About 30 spaces ◼ Tomishiyama *Images: 3–4* Address: Yasuda, Kisa‑cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: About 100 spaces ◼ Okadayama *Images: 5–6* Address: Ueda‑cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: About 5 spaces

A Pleasant Lake Experience to Enjoy✨ Miyoshi is finally cooling down in the mornings and evenings, and the season to fully enjoy outdoor activities has arrived😊 This fall’s top recommendation is the “Ten-chan’s Haizuka Lake SUP Tour,” which we’d like to introduce😊 SUP stands for Stand Up Puddle. You stand on a board and paddle across the water, gliding smoothly in this popular activity. Even complete beginners, from children to seniors, can get up on the board quickly after a lesson.

Her careful teaching and radiant smile are highly praised, so even first-timers can feel at ease and enjoy themselves. Unlike the sea, you can relax on the calm lake surface. Surrounded by Haizuka Lake’s rich nature, you can savor a graceful stroll across the water🥰 Instruction proceeds at each participant’s pace, so few people fall into the water. Those who are determined to fall can keep trying challenging moves until they do! Since splashes may wet your hands and feet, please bring a change of clothes. You can change in a simple tent on site. Fresh water is prepared in a tank. If you fall in, you can rinse off inside the tent. “The leaves will soon be beautiful.

What is the heartwarming fall experience “Choudo Gari”? 💛 The highlight of the autumn outing season, Hirata Sightseeing Farm’s “Choudo Gari,” is a fruit-picking style where you exchange a ticket for the fruit of your choice. ♪ The key point is that you can take your time and enjoy fruit picking with no time limit. 🍇✨ At reception you receive a three-item set: ・a paper bag ・a ticket ・a farm map ! The farm map shows which fruits are available to harvest that day and how many tickets each requires, so head to the area that interests you. Harvesting scissors ✂️ and the like are provided at the entrance to each area, so you can come empty-handed. Staff will let fruits ripen to the perfect eating point, and you can eat chilled fruit right on the spot. 🍑 *On this visit we enjoyed a super-chilled peach♪* With so many fruits to harvest, it’s hard to decide which to pick!

Summer calls for this hearty steak bowl!😋 Thick layers of beef steak completely cover the rice, so you can’t see a grain! You can enjoy this talked-about steak bowl at Oshokujidokoro Nagadote in Minamihatajiki‑cho, Miyoshi City. The beef used is Tokachi Wakagyu(R), a branded cattle from Hokkaido. Only steers are served here. They are low in fat with a tender texture.😊 They sear high-quality meat boldly and season it with homemade steak sauce. The savory sauce is poured generously until the meat gleams, whetting your appetite! The rich sauce clings just right, spreading the juicy flavor across your mouth. "They pile it so high you can’t see the rice!" "It looks exactly like the photos!" — it’s been a hit on social media. Many visitors are amazed by its volume and taste. The rice is 100% from Kamisugi in Miyoshi City. Vegetables for small side dishes and salads also come from local farmers. They actively use Miyoshi’s fresh, delicious ingredients. Nagadote is run by second‑generation owner Mr. Takemoto. He wants guests to be delighted when they come. With that single-minded dedication, he spares no effort in preparation and even pays close attention to how each piece of meat is grilled — a key reason for the great taste. To ensure smooth service, customers choose their menu before entering. You place your order first, then take a seat. Since social media became popular, more customers have come after seeing the photos. They attract diners from inside and outside the prefecture and even international travelers. Beat the summer heat with Nagadote’s top pick — a stamina-packed meal!
