#0 Yen Travel I participated in the "Baby Ring-entering" event at the "Namdaimon Spring Festival" held at Renge-in Tanjo-ji Temple in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The sight of a baby wearing a decorative mawashi entering the ring in the arms of a sumo wrestler was both heartwarming and powerful, conveying the parents' hopes for their child's healthy growth. This traditional event lets you feel the warmth of the community and the depth of Japanese culture. Participating as a family was a memorable and valuable experience. It was a wonderful trip that I would like to visit again.  

#0 Yen Travel "Men no Koyama" in Tamana City is a famous restaurant that stands out in an area where tonkotsu ramen is the norm, and is known for its chicken bone-based ramen. The particularly popular "Kin no Ramen" features a clear soup that is an exquisite blend of chicken bones and Japanese-style dashi, with a slight sweetness and aroma that fills your mouth. The thin straight noodles go perfectly with the soup, and the aroma of the roasted pork also whets your appetite. During lunch time, you can get a set with boiled dumplings and ochazuke for an additional 100 yen, so you can enjoy it until the end without getting bored. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere with only counter seats, and it is clean and easy for women to enter alone. Please try this bowl of ramen from a talented restaurant that has been featured in Michelin.   

#Spring0yenTrip I spent a heartwarming time participating in the "Baby Dohyo-iri" ceremony held at Renge-in Tanjo-ji Temple in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The sight of the baby tying its small mawashi and climbing onto the ring was a heartwarming and special moment that made me feel the bond between family members. This traditional event is held to pray for the healthy growth of babies and good health, and I was able to pray for my child's growth while surrounded by the warm gazes of the local people. Combined with the solemn atmosphere of Renge-in Tanjo-ji Temple, it became an unforgettable memory.

#AccommodationReview "Tamana Onsen Hotel Shirasagi" ⁡ A hotel in Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture. ⁡ I stayed in a spacious Japanese-style room. I think it was about 12 tatami mats. The bath and toilet are separate. It's undeniable that it's old, but it was clean. ⁡ The hotel's large public baths include the "Shirasagi-yu" with indoor and outdoor baths, and the Greek-style bath "Parthenon", which is switched between men and women on even and odd days. There was a Venus in the "Parthenon". It's a shame that I couldn't take a photo of the bath. The water was smooth and made my skin silky smooth. ⁡ I had dinner in the large hall. Everything was very delicious and I was quite full. Breakfast was buffet style. The selection was small, but the freshly baked croissants were delicious. ⁡ The hotel staff were very friendly and the hotel was comfortable. ⁡ ⁡ [Tamana Onsen Hotel Shirasagi] 📍 730 Iwasaki, Tamana City, Kumamoto Prefecture 🕛 Check-in 15:00 Check-out 10:00 No holidays Parking available ⁡ ⁡ #Tamana Onsen Hotel Shirasagi #Hotel Shirasagi #Tamana Onsen #Kumamoto Trip #Kumamoto Tourism #Kumamoto Hotel #kumamototrip #kumamototravel #kumamotohotel

Tokyo, Japan. First time I travelled in summer heat, and the first time I stepped on the land of the rising sun. Walking distance from my hotel in Ueno, 10 minutes to Okachimachi, the food street and shopping in a 7-storey Uniqlo & GU store. One thing for sure I learnt to appreciate! Hotel’s face towel and a foldable umbrella! It’s my first and definitely won’t be my last! #Biginjapan #Travelbypom #summer2023
