Masumida Shrine (旧字体: 眞淸田神󠄀社󠄁) is a Shinto shrine located in Masumida, Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture. It is a Shikinai-sha (名神大社) and the primary shrine (一宮) of Owari Province. The shrine was formerly classified as a Kokuhei Chusha and is currently listed as a Bekkaku shrine under the Association of Shinto Shrines. Masumida Shrine is the first shrine to be visited in Owari Province, known as the 'Ichinomiya,' and holds significant historical importance. The name of Ichinomiya City is derived from this shrine, highlighting its central role in the development of the area. The deity enshrined here is the grandchild of the deity worshipped at Ise Grand Shrine. The shrine is believed to bring blessings for career success, advancement, good fortune, protection from misfortune, and prosperity of descendants. Additionally, within the same grounds is Hatori Shrine, which is popular for blessings related to matchmaking and safe childbirth.

This is a vast park in the northern part of Ichinomiya City. Because it's Ichinomiya, the tower is 138 meters high. Various seasonal flowers bloom in the park, and when I visited in late April, the nemophila flowers were in full bloom. Many people bring their pets, so it's fun to take them for a walk or just spend the whole day walking around♪

one of my favorites here in japan is the delicious food, especially the ramen and ebi tempura they are super yummy, hopefully we will have more flights with trip.com :)

Nukisaki Shrine (Ichinomiya Nukisaki Shrine) is located in Tomioka City, Gunma Prefecture, and is one of Japan's oldest and most unique shrines. What sets it apart is its "downward entrance," a rare feature compared to the typical upward staircases of other shrines. The surrounding atmosphere is tranquil, with large trees lining the path, providing shade along the way. As you descend, you'll arrive at the majestic main hall of the shrine, which beautifully reflects ancient architectural styles. To reach Nukisaki Shrine, you can take the JR train to Nishi-Tomioka Station and then walk for about 10 minutes. Along the way, you'll experience the warm and friendly ambiance of a rural town. Another highlight is the stone lanterns and old wooden bridge, which evoke a sense of stepping back in time to the Edo period. A visit to this shrine is not just about making wishes but also about finding inner peace and reflecting amidst the serene natural surroundings and exquisite cultural heritage. If you're looking for a quiet and spiritually uplifting destination, Nukisaki Shrine is a must-visit spot for your next trip to Japan.

#cherryblossom25 Last year, I found myself in a cherry blossom "refugee" situation, but unexpectedly, my best sakura shot was taken right here in Nagoya! 🌸 Nagoya, often underrated as a cherry blossom city, has so many hidden treasures that are worth exploring. If you're still hoping to catch the last few days of full bloom, here are two must-visit spots in Nagoya for a spectacular sakura experience! 1. Kiso River Cherry Blossom Tunnel 🌸 Location: Kiso-gawa, Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture Access: Take the 11 bus from Ichinomiya Station on the Meitetsu Line and get off at "Sogo Sports Hall," then walk for about 5 minutes. This 2-kilometer-long pink corridor along the river is breathtaking! The cherry trees form a natural dome over the path, and when the wind blows, it's like a cherry blossom rain, with petals falling gracefully in the air—a truly magical sight. Whether you’re cycling or enjoying a picnic along the river, it’s a romantic spot that feels peaceful with almost no tourists around! Tips: I recommend coming after 4:00 PM to capture the sakura against the warm sunset light. The best time to take photos is after 5:00 PM, when the light is soft and gentle. 🌅 There are no convenience stores along the riverbank, so make sure to bring snacks and drinks in advance. 🥤🍪 The bus schedule can be a bit tricky, so be sure to check the Google Maps timetable to plan your visit accordingly. 🚌 2. Kōjū-in Temple: Zen-inspired Cherry Blossoms 🌸 Location: Kōjū-in Temple, Shōwa Ward, Nagoya City Access: From Gokiso Station on the Tsurumai Line, walk about 12 minutes. This hidden gem is a century-old temple tucked away in a quiet residential area. The shidare-zakura (weeping cherry blossoms) here are truly mesmerizing, and the temple’s Tang-style architecture blends beautifully with the blooms. You’ll also find the rare double-flowered red shidare-zakura, which makes for a stunning visual experience. My favorite spot in the temple is the Hojo Garden, where the cherry blossoms perfectly frame the kare-sansui (dry landscape) garden—a true Japanese aesthetic masterpiece! 🌸⛩️ Tip: Wear light-colored clothes for the best photo ops! 📸 2025 Flowering Forecast: Now through April 5th, so don’t miss out! 🌸 #travel

#cherryblossom25 The place is called Egawa Path (江川道) Address: 261 Higashikata-cho, Tsuzuki Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture Although it’s technically in Kanagawa, it basically feels like the outskirts of Tokyo! (Just a heads-up: compared to other lesser-known cherry blossom spots I’ve shared before, getting here isn’t as convenient — you'll need to take a train and transfer to a bus.) My route: I took the Tokyu Toyoko Line from Shibuya to Okurayama Station (about 30 mins), then transferred to a bus. But honestly — it’s beautiful and worth the trip! It’s quite a hidden gem for tourists, but still popular with locals, including nearby residents and some foreign expats. (Even at its busiest, it’s nowhere near as crowded as Meguro River!) Pro Tip: Try to go on a weekday to avoid weekend crowds. Best timing for sakura: Late March to early April. (If you know, you know — better to go a bit late than too early!) #travel

I went to the former orchid house, Flarie, in Naka-ku, Nagoya. I knew it existed for a while, but this was my first time entering. There is no admission fee, and once you pass through the entrance, you will find a spacious garden as shown in the photo. At the back of the south side of the garden, there is a small pond with benches around it, making it a relaxing place to rest like an oasis in the city. There is also a cafe in the garden where you can enjoy various soft drinks including coffee and snacks. The prices are not too high, even with the rising prices of various things, and you can enjoy a satisfying and well-balanced meal. Why don't you go and take a break? I recommend it! #NagoyaTourism #Cafe #PlaceToRest 📍Location: Osu

Sobue Town in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, is a popular spot with a spectacular view of golden ginkgo trees✨ About 10,000 ginkgo trees are planted, and in autumn the entire town is dyed a beautiful yellow🥹✨ The best time to see them is from mid- to late November, when the golden tunnel-like road feels like you're in another world!

#SummerGourmet A 5-minute walk from Owari Ichinomiya Station is Miya Fuwari, where you can eat fluffy shaved ice. I went there around 3 p.m., and I was able to enter without waiting. There are both tatami and table seats, and it is a very relaxing space. What I ordered ・Setouchi lemon shaved ice ・Mango puree The Setouchi lemon shaved ice was topped with lemon slices and was very refreshing and easy to eat. The mango puree shaved ice came with a separate mango sauce, which was very delicious when added to the sauce. It had a good fruit texture and was reasonably priced at less than 1,000 yen, so it was good value for money👏✨ Address: 2-19-11 Shinsei, Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture Atmosphere/Facilities: Relaxed and calm Recommended points: Good value for money, fluffy shaved ice Average price: 1,000-1,500 yen Rating: ★★★✰✰

#SummerFestival2024 The Ichinomiya Tanabata Festival held in Ichinomiya is a popular festival in Aichi 🎋 When you leave the nearest Ichinomiya Station, you will see Tanabata lanterns decorated and it is very beautiful. The festival venue is Ichinomiya City Honmachi Shopping Street, and it is fun to walk around eating gourmet food from the shopping street. By the way, I recommend a shaved ice shop called "Miya Fuwari" located a little off the beaten path, which is relatively empty and recommended! A cosplay parade is also held every year, so it is fun just to walk through the shopping street and watch people in cosplay ♪ Bon Odori is also held in front of the station, and there is a Bon Odori that includes many new songs, making it an event that even first-time Bon Odori can enjoy. Although there are no fireworks, it is a wonderful festival worth traveling from afar 🏮⸝⋆⸝⋆ Dates: 4 days from Thursday with the finale on the last Sunday of July #IchinomiyaCity #SummerFestival #Tanabata #Stall #ShavedIce
