Goshikien is the only Buddhist theme park in Japan, with over 100 dolls lined up on a vast site. It's a mysterious space, with few people and a little creepy at dusk. It's more than enough space for a stroll. It seems you can stay overnight as well. 932-31 Ichinomawari, Iwatocho, Nisshin City Free #Autumn trip #Accommodation report

Heading straight to Toyota City. Due to time constraints, I skip visiting the actual manhole at Toyota Stadium and instead collect two manhole cards. There's a free exhibition showcasing hundreds of figures, which is quite enjoyable. After the free exhibition, I move on to Nisshin City. I take a taxi to Iwasaki Castle, a castle with a keep and a rich history, considered one of the most beautiful castles in Aichi Prefecture. Currently, admission is free, and there are no staff present. Despite this, the facilities are clean, and the keep is open for free, allowing visitors to climb up. It's truly a hidden gem. The castle is accessible by bus from Nagoya Hoshigaoka. On the first day, I return to my hotel in Nagoya using buses and the subway. Thank you.

Aichi Farm is located in a quiet residential area of ​​Nisshin City. This time, I went by train and on foot, but it seems that most people come by car. In the area like the Fureai Hiroba (admission fee 300 yen), you can feed and interact with sheep, goats, deer, capybaras, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. There are also other activities for both children and adults, such as horse riding, tractor trolleys, and mini excavators. For horse riding, there are ponies and larger horses, and adults can ride the larger horses. (Although there weren't many adults riding horses...🤣) When you come to the farm, the thing you definitely want to eat is the soft serve ice cream 🍦 It was rich and delicious, so if you go, please give it a try. There are food trucks and a barbecue area, so it was lively on weekends 🐃 🕰️Business hours: 9:00-17:00 　　　　　　　(Tuesdays closed) 📍Address: 977 Minamiyama, Yonenogi-cho, Nisshin-shi, Aichi 470-0111 #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Aichi #Ranch

Hakusan Shrine is located in the suburbs of Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. Hakusan Shrine itself is well known as a shrine for matchmaking, but in recent years, the shrine that has been attracting attention is the Ashiosha Shrine, which is located in one corner of the shrine grounds. When viewed from above, it is shaped like a foot, sandals, or socks, and when viewed from below, it has a beautiful streamlined shape made of wooden framework. It is a shrine for the feet, known only to those in the know in the sports world, as it enshrines a god who brings good fortune to the legs and hips, and a "pain-relieving stone" that is rumored to relieve foot pain when stroked. It is also known as the "foot shrine." A large votive plaque with prayers from the Japanese national soccer team was also on display. However, the architectural beauty is wonderful, so it is worth a visit even if you are not a soccer fan. Address: 519 Miyashita, Hongo-cho, Nisshin City, Aichi Prefecture Admission is free Access: Take bus 106 from Nagoya Station Meitetsu Bus Center in the direction of Aichi Gakuin University Mae, get off at the "Iwasaki Mitakeguchi" bus stop, and walk for about 15 minutes. About 40 minutes by taxi from Nagoya Station #Enjoy Japan #Aichi #Shrines and Temples #Amazing Views

When I asked my friend who came to visit me from far away what she wanted to eat, she said Ajisen! So I went there!! I'll give you an honest review! Store name: Ajisen Nisshin Takenoyama Store Customer demographic: 20s to 70s Points to note: Taiwanese ramen is so spicy that it's fiery🔥Drink the pitcher of water. Sweat comes out of every pore in your body. Makeup comes off. Be careful if you're going on a date or working in customer service the next day🧄▶️Improves metabolism! Was it because I sweated like a waterfall for the first time in a while, and did it flush out waste products? My makeup went on well the next day🤭🧄The power gave me energy! Warms you up from the core of your body☑︎Waiting timeSome people were already lined up 30 minutes before opening, but we lined up 15 minutes before opening, so we were able to get in smoothly! The staff said that they always open the shop 5 minutes before opening time. There are quite a few seats, but they fill up quickly. People who drink alcohol take a long time, but many people eat quickly and leave, so the turnover rate is good. The ramen came out 1 minute after ordering! ! 🫢 ☑︎Total for 3 adults and 1 child. Gyoza, chicken wings, fried rice, fried chicken. Taiwanese ramen x 3 and children's lunch. Total price: ¥5600 (tax included) (visited in January 2025). Cash and PayPay available. 📍Ajisen Nisshin Takenoyama Store 4-105 Takenoyama, Nisshin City, Aichi Prefecture 05617 3 3888 11:30-15:00/ 17:30-22:00 No reservations Closed on Tuesdays Free parking I stopped by on the way back from Ghibli Park. Ajisen has several stores in Aichi Prefecture, and they come to various events with a food truck, and they also have a store in Centrair! I wonder if the spiciness of Taiwanese ramen depends on the store? Oh, if you slurp the noodles in the wrong place with Taiwanese ramen, the spiciness will hit your throat 😂 and you'll choke 🤣 I've written a lot about it, but it's a really memorable restaurant 😊 #NagoyaGourmet #AichiLunch #Ajisen

There are quite a few things to see in Takenoyama. Although it's not very convenient to get to, it has a kind of otherworldly feel. After a long day of walking, I wanted to eat sushi 🍣, and there were actually three restaurants to choose from. I finally chose Choujiro. Choujiro is a little more expensive than Tokubei, but all the sushi is hand-pressed, and the serving style is different, with the sushi served on long plates. The fish is very tasty, especially the seasonal fish, which is very oily. I also tried the splendid alfonsino, which was very refreshing. I ate a lot of monkfish liver, which was delicious and cheap. We spent JPY 4,800 for two people, and we didn't order anything expensive, but we were very satisfied. You can spend as much or as little as you like.

#thingstodo Large castle with tons of places to sit and take photos at. There's few beautiful view of the city which is nice during the sunset. Sadly, there are no English instructions or signs so Japanese is needed. You can explore the remodelled Castle.A nice little castle, where a good samurai used to live. The bad samurai who lived in Osaka tried to kill the good samurai. Luckily the good samurai had many friends. They helped him commit seppuku, by giving him a very sharp katana and one friend took the task upon him to chop off his head . That's iwasaki castle, a symbol of friendship.

Iwasaki Castle Site Park This is a light-up event that colors Iwasaki Castle with lights that change into various colors. You have to do a self-temperature check before you can enter, so there was a line. Projection mapping images of digital art content were projected onto the castle tower of Iwasaki Castle, a symbol of Nisshin City and the site of the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute during the Sengoku period. It was very elegant and beautiful✨. I bought a 500 yen castle seal, which shows pictures under black light, as a souvenir. Reiwa 4, 2022, November 18th (Friday) to November 20th (Sunday), 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm Free admission Parking is free and the nearby parking lots were full, so there were spaces available about 10 minutes walk away. #Accommodation #ProjectionMapping #Castle #BreakingSight
