Uemura Unagiya (Eel restaurant) The first meal of this trip to Kumamoto was at “Uemura Unagiya“. “Uemura Unagiya” is a long-established eel restaurant that was founded in 1908 and has a history of more than 100 years. It has also been selected as one of the “100 famous tabelog restaurants”. It is the only “100 famous tabelog restaurants” in Hitoyoshi City. The restaurant opens at 10 am and the opening time is very early. I entered the restaurant at 11:00 am, but there were already several pairs of customers sitting in their seats. I ordered “Uzaku (vinegared eel and cucumber)” (Yen 800), “Eel Liver” (Yen 1,000), and “small Unaju (broiled eel served over rice in a lacquered box)” (Yen 3,200) at “Uemura Unagiya”. The taste of “Uzaku” was above average, but the “liver of eel” and “shige of eel” were excellent. As you can see in the picture, the volume of “eel liver” was as large as 20 eels. I think it’s the first time in my life that I’ve eatenread moreMay itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Kumamoto Meal edition)

Summary of April itinerary in Japan ( Kochi, Ehime )

By ninjakotan

Summary of April itinerary in Japan ( Kochi, Ehime ) I traveled to Kochi and Ehime prefectures from April 18th (Monday) to April 21st (Thursday). On this trip, I was able to eat a lot of seasonal seafood such as first bonito of season and local dishes such as Uwajima Tai-meshi. In addition, I was able to visit many wonderful tourist destinations such as national treasures, national important cultural properties, and national Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings. This is the April Japan itinerary that I highly recommend to everyone. Here is a summary of this trip and some notes. As I repeat every time, this itinerary was also created with the purpose of “eating out seasonal fish and shellfish and local dishes.” Food is the highest priority, and tourist destinations are the second priority. However, I aimed to visit as many tourist spots as possible, such as national treasures, national important cultural properties , and national Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings.

April itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Ehime Prefecture) (Wednesday, April 20) Table of contents 1. Uwajima Historical Museum / Kabasaki Battery Site 2. Warei Shrine / Taga Shrine 3. Tensha-en Garden, Nanyo Gokoku Shrine, Kiya Ryokan 4. Uno-machi cityscape 5. Ozu cityscape 6. Uchiko cityscape 1. Uwajima Historical Museum / Kabasaki Battery Site In the morning of April 20th (Wednesday), I rented a bicycle at the Uwajima City Tourist Information Center “Shiroshita” and went around the city of Uwajima. I think that the rental cycle is the best because the distance for sightseeing in Uwajima city is too long to go around on foot and the number of buses is small for going around by bus. Uwajima City Tourist Information Center “Shiroshita” is a new facility that just opened in August 2021 at the entrance of Uwajima Castle. The rental cycle fee is Yen 2,000 a day for GIANT’s E-bike. The Uwajima Historical Museum has been relocated and used as a building built as the Uwajima Police Station in 1884. The light pink building creates a soft atmosphere that does not seem to be a former police station. The architectural style is pseudo-Western style architecture.

Although the Tottori Sand Dunes in winter had a little snow, it wasn’t completely piled up, so the scenery was not good.
