Japan is a country with many festivals taking place throughout the year; but it's during July and August that they're the most frequent and the most spectacular! 🤩

In this post we present the best summer festivals in Japan! 🎆

The biggest matsuri in August almost all take place at the same time, during the first week, in several prefectures in the Tohoku region.
So you're going to have to make some choices, but in any case, they're all really worth the diversions! 😁

And you, which festival would you most like to experience? 🏮

Finally we figured out how to ride the cuttest Hello Kitty shinkansen. Here’s our experiences on how to buy the ticket and ride on the train!

First, you must know where the destinations of the train hahaha. Well, Hello Kitty shinkansen rides between Hakata station (Fukuoka Prefecture) and Shin-Osaka station (Osaka Prefecture). If you drop off at the stops between these 2 destinations, definitely you will visit and travel around Kobe, Kyoto, Okayama and Hiroshima.

Second, you must know this secret that there are a lot of Hello Kitty trains with different cute decorations. But the most recommendation is that you ride on the Kodama 840 train (Hakata to Shin Osaka) or Kodama 851 (Shin Osaka to Hakata) whose especially car 2 called Kawaii! Room where has the cute decoration like you see in my pictures.

Third, since the Hello Kitty shinkansen ticket is also included in the JR Pass so I recommend you to purchase the JR Pass through us.

Hope you ride on this cute train soon!

All castles, including castle ruins, offer a glimpse into the rich cultural and historical tapestry of Japan. Beyond their historical and cultural significance, some of these castles also captivate with their scenic beauty. Here are four castles where you can experience both the history and picturesque landscapes of Japan!

🏯 Image 1: Kiyosu Castle in Aichi Prefecture
Once the historic stronghold of Oda Nobunaga, Kiyosu Castle is central to Japan's history. Renowned for its reconstructed majesty, it is considered a symbol of Kiyosu, with a museum showcasing its pivotal role in history. Explore relics, armour, and a tranquil riverside setting for a pleasant afternoon visit!

🏯 Image 2: Bitchu Matsuyama Castle in Okayama Prefecture
Perched near Mt. Gagyu's peak, Bitchu Matsuyama Castle is known as the Mountain Castle in the Sky! Its ancient ruins and granite-laden construction weave a tale of history, while the surrounding panoramic views elevate it to a majestic stance, capturing the essence of Japan's awe-inspiring beauty.

🏯 Image 3: Karatsu Castle in Saga Prefecture
Established in 1602, Karatsu Castle blends culture and nature with the surrounding coastal vista and tranquil pine grove. Initially without a tower, a later addition now houses a museum detailing Karatsu's rich history. As seasons change, the castle is adorned with cherry blossoms and wisteria against the scenic backdrop of the Genkai Sea.

🏯 Image 4: Takeda Castle in Hyogo Prefecture
The stunning Takeda Castle Ruins give the impression of floating in the sky when surrounded by clouds—a rare sight that can be witnessed during the early mornings of autumn and winter, given that the weather conditions are favourable. This enchanting phenomenon is definitely a view worth waking up early for!

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a unique and spectacular route through the Northern Japan Alps .

The main attraction of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is the magnificent scenery of the Tateyama Mountain Range, part of the Chubu Sangaku National Park. In spring, accumulated snow, especially around the upper sections of Midagahara and Murodo, form a majestic snow corridor whose snow walls reach up to 20 meters high. A section of the snow corridor around Murodo is open to pedestrians from April 15 to June 25.

Explore the serene beauty of Ginzan Onsen in rural Yamagata. Situated on a former silver mine, this destination offers a quiet retreat with a nostalgic feel. Far from the noise of the city, traditional inns line the riverbank, creating a peaceful getaway that’s worth the journey. The car-free town center enhances the tranquil experience so you can stay in one of the many inns, stroll the streets without the usual traffic worries, and immerse yourself in the local culture.

Ginzan Onsen’s ryokan proudly adhere to Japanese traditions, serving local dishes tailored to their mostly Japanese clientele. Surrounded by unspoiled rural landscapes, the town remains pleasant year-round. During long summer days, enjoy leisurely strolls in a yukata, while winter transforms the town into a magical scene with snow-covered buildings and soft gaslight glow. The Fujiya ryokan, a modern creation by architect Kuma Kengo, adds a contemporary touch without losing the connection to the past.

Escape the hustle and experience the charm of Ginzan Onsen, where time seems to slow down.

100th anniversary of the birth of Hachikō 🇯🇵🐾
The Hachikō statue in Shibuya is staged into a beautiful bedroom.

Hachikō belonged to Professor Eizaburo Ueno who lived in Shibuya and taught at Tokyo Imperial University during the early 1920s.

Every day, Ueno would walk to Shibuya Station with Hachikō and take the train to work. Once he was done for the day, he would take the train back and return to the station at precisely 3 PM. Hachikō would always be there waiting patiently to accompany the professor home.

One day, Ueno suffered a stroke and never arrived at the station. Hachikō went to the station every day for 9 years until his death in 1935.
