Hinode-machi

Hinode-machi, offering walks through the city as well as the mountains. Shrines, temples, and spiritual sites dot the woodland areas. At an elevation of 902 m, Mt. Hinode overlooks the Kanto Plain. The 80-year-old Shinonome Sanso inn with a wood stove and no gas or running water requires reservations to stay.

From Musashi-Itsukaichi to Hijimachi

From Musashi-Itsukaichi to Hijimachi

The atmosphere here is reminiscent of Beitou + Wai Shuangxi, featuring hot springs and a valley.
Many Japanese university students visit in groups to camp and barbecue, similar to our barbecue outings at Wai Shuangxi. It's a great way to socialize and enjoy youthful energy. XDDDD
Akiru Shrine

While there aren't many shops, the local shrine is quite well-known.

After a simple pilgrimage and visit, I went to have some soba noodles.

Finally, I get to enjoy some high-end noodle meal.
I supposed this is a famous local shop. Despite the lack of pedestrians on the street, there was a substantial queue at this shop.
The fried food options are also delicious

Taking a bus to Sakanaen

Taking a bus to Sakanaen

At the riverside, you can fish or wade in the water. Many families drive here to enjoy time with their children. Since we came for the experience and didn't drive, we opted for the bus as our mode of transportation. Perhaps because it's a quiet and simple town, and it's also a weekday, there were very few people on the bus—just us, haha.A few days ago, I already became the island owner, so this time, chartering a bus is a small matter.

Second day

Hot springs and milk

Hot springs and milk

After descending the mountain, I passed by another hot spring and soaked for a while to relieve my thigh muscles. My muscles were still aching. Seeing that the hot spring shop also sold milk, I immediately bought some to replenish myself. It was just like in the manga, where you drink milk after soaking in the hot spring.
Overall, it was quite an interesting experience.

I've completed this trip and truly encountered a lot of new things.
Overall, it was quite an interesting experience, haha. Although the process was a bit convoluted and strange, that's the charm of traveling.
Indeed, choosing the right travel companion is the most important thing when traveling! Because even if there are any unexpected incidents during the trip, you and your travel companion can share the experience together. Looking back, it's been a very humorous and interesting trip. XDDDD
