[2025 Komono Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Aqua Ignis Kataoka Onsen (Updated Jul)

Kasaan Sanpororon Komono Branch A famous restaurant by Masahiro Kasahara inside Aqua Ignis Kataoka Onsen It's become easier to get there since the highway interchange was built Take off your shoes and enter the restaurant Their tai chazuke is famous, but they don't offer lunch sets during Golden Week, so I gave up and ate the ginger pork set meal for 1,450 yen and the sudachi soba for 1,400 yen. The prices seem a little on the high side The set meal comes with free rice and miso soup, which is nice (*☻-☻*) It's a famous restaurant, so the prices are on the high side It's fine if you eat there occasionally... I think it's not a good place for children... There was a line before, but it was empty. 7:30 to 9:30 Inside Aqua Ignis, 4800-1 Komono, Komono-cho, Mie-gun, Mie Prefecture #gourmet #gourmet #gw2023

Tsujiguchi Farm: A strawberry buffet farm located in Mie Prefecture, Japan 🇯🇵 During my one-year internship in Mie Prefecture, Japan 🇯🇵, I discovered a strawberry farm where you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet. The farm is clean and offers a wide variety of strawberries to choose from. I wanted to share this experience with everyone, especially for those visiting Nagoya. If you’re looking to enjoy a variety of strawberry types, you can easily travel to this location in just over an hour by train. Trust me, it’s worth it! At Tsujiguchi Farm, you can pick and eat strawberries buffet-style, with up to 22 different varieties 🍓. The farm is located within the Aqua Ignis resort in Komono, Mie Prefecture, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and mountain views. 📍 Must-try highlight: The farm offers 22 strawberry varieties 🍓, including the rare White Strawberry, which you can pick and eat as much as you want for 40 minutes. (I ate so much during those 40 minutes that I was completely full!) When I visited, the price was 2,600 yen, which I found very reasonable considering the variety and quality of the strawberries. They were sweet, juicy, and delicious across all varieties. Strawberry varieties available for tasting: Benihoppe, Akihime, Kaorino, Tochiotome, Moikko, Oi C Berry, Star Night, Tokun, Hoshi no Kirameki, Hoshiurara, Koiminori, Kannahime, Amaekubo, Berry Pop Suzu, Berry Pop Haruhi, Yotsuboshi, Tenshi no Ichigo, Shinku no Misusu, Pineberry, Mikunoka, Utano, Satsuma Otome. The picking season runs from mid-December to early June (I recommend booking in advance as slots fill up quickly. When I booked, I almost missed out because of the high demand from locals 😂). ⏰ Operating hours: 10:00 AM–5:00 PM (last entry at 4:20 PM) 📍 Address: Japan 〒510-1233 Mie, Mie District, Komono, 4800-1 Aqua Ignis ⛳ Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/27usf5k8UGa1HFwX6 How to get there: Take the Kintetsu Line from Nagoya Station to Yokkaichi Station.
