Shoshazan Engyoji Temple In the morning, I went to Shoshazan Engyoji Temple by bus from the bus terminal of Himeji Station. The bus I got on is as follows. Depart Himeji Station at 8:05,   Shoshazan Ropeway Line,  arrive at Shoshazan Ropeway at 8:37,  Fare Yen 280 If you go to Ichijoji in the afternoon like me, the one-day ticket for Shinki Bus (Yen 1,300 for adults, Yen650 for children) is a great deal (Yen 580 discount). There is also a set ticket for the Shoshazan Ropeway and bus (adults Yen1,420 , children Yen710). It will be a little profitable (Yen140 discount). For one-day tickets and set tickets, please contact the Shinki Bus Himeji Station Information Center (business hours, weekdays 8: 00-20: 00, weekends and holidays 8: 00-18: 00). You can also walk to Engyoji Temple from the Shoshazan Ropeway bus stop, but it takes about an hour on a steep mountain road. The ropeway will arrive in less than 5 minutes, so if your goal is notread moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 7 (Hyogo Day 1)

Wakasa Ichinomiya (Wakasahime Shrine) 6. “Sotomo Tour” pleasure boat 7. Obama Nishigumi   1. Imajo-shuku Honjin ruins In the morning, I moved from Fukui station to Imajō station and visited the site of Imajo-shuku Honjin ruins. The trains I boarded are as follows. Depart Fukui Station at 8:13, JR Hokuriku Main Line bound for Tsuruga, arrive at Imajō Station at 8:47, fare Yen 590 The site of Imajo-shuku Honjin ruins is a post town used by the Fukui domain when they changed their attendance. It is designated as a national important preservation district of historic buildings. The post town starts about a 3-minute walk from Imajō Station. The coin locker at Imajō station is free, so it’s great when we take a walk. Compared to the well-known post towns such as Ouchi-juku in Fukushima Prefecture and Tsumago-juku in Nagano Prefecture, the ruins of Imajo-shuku  have fewer old buildings and have a lesser atmosphere of the Edo period. On the other hand, there are few tourists, so we can take a leisurely stroll.read moreOctober itinerary in Japan Day 5 (Fukui Day 3)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1)

October itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Ishikawa Day 1) (Wednesday, October 20)   Table of contents 1. Move from Haneda Airport to Komatsu Airport 2. Komatsu no Mori 3. Natadera temple   I went on a trip to Ishikawa, Fukui, Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures from October 20th (Wednesday) to October 27th (Wednesday) for 7 nights and 8 days. This is the route that I proposed the itinerary idea in my blog on October 2nd. This itinerary was created from prefectures with a large amount of fish and shellfish that will be in season in October. Both Ishikawa and Hyogo prefectures were ranked 4th in the national ranking. In addition, for this trip as well, luggage such as clothing was sent to the accommodation in advance, and a “Hands-free trip (Luggage free travel) “ was carried out without carrying large luggage. “Hands-free trip” is easy while traveling, and it has also helped me to make effective use of my time. I sent the clothes I wore from my last accommodation to a laundry agency, so it was an easy trip without having to do the laundry.   1.
