At the four temples, Saidaiji, Kikoji, Toshodaiji, and Yakushiji, lotus flowers are lined up in early summer, called “Lotus Road”.
At the beginning he was 3 temples, but since 2018 Saidaiji has also joined.
The lotus flower in the early morning will wash your heart !

“Happy train” runs on the Nankai Electric Railway Kada Line.
The names are said to be “Sachi”, “Kai”, and “Nana”.
The interior is so cute, so it’s worth to the ride.
If you like single-track, laid-back local lines, I’m sure you’ll have fun!
By the way, you can hardly see the sea from the car window. lol

Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan.
The breathtaking fireworks that set off in the lake.
There aren’t many people, so I usually avoid it.
It’s very disappointing, but it seems to be canceled this year.
If it is held next year, I’ll do my best to go to the lakeside, maybe.

This Japanese sake bar is inside the station.
this is perfect for waiting for a train.
It’s a better deal if you drink ‘sake’ as a set.

‘ZENZAI’ is a traditional Japanese dessert soup made with azuki beans.
But, In okinawa, ‘ZENZAI’ is shaved ice.
Do not order it to warm you up !
The sweet red beans under the ice go well with the fluffy ice.
If you think azuki beans are too sweet, we recommend melting the ice while eating.

I took a break at the Japanese cafe in the Tempyo Umashi-kan.
‘ITTO-SEKI’ ice cream is a speciality of this cafe.
Cut this ice cream with a knife in the shape of a Japanese sword.
You can take the knife home with you, so it’s a good souvenir.

This ice cream was modeled after this tourist spot.

I came to Hinode Pier for the first time, but it was a bigger pier than I had imagined.
A harbor rather than a pier. It’s so beautiful place.
I can get to OSHIMA island by boarding the boat from this pier.
I want to go there next time.

I visited Haneda Airport International Terminal.
About half of stores were closed.
Many stores can’t use GOTO Travel ticket.
(See here for “GOTO Travel ticket” https://livejapan.com/en/article-a0004770/ )
I want the airport to return to its former daily routine soon.
