2026 Hinode Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

At the Starbucks on the second floor of AEON Mall Hinode, you can bring in up to three books from the adjacent Miraiya Bookstore and read them at your leisure. I sometimes come here to read in the morning on my days off. If I really like a book, I buy it. When you're done reading a book, you can return it to the designated shelf, and an attendant will check it for dirt before returning it to its original place.

#Tokyo Attractions Guangming Temple made me feel extremely peaceful.

#travelanywhere Beautiful views, fresh air. The little house for visitors was closed when we were there but the observatory was great. From here it is a very steep decent down to the Tsuru Tsuru onsen area.Great views Easy hike from Mt. Mitake.

#travelanywhere It's an easy and straightforward climb - my friend even as far as saying that junior high school students could easily hike this mountain (more like a hill though) without breaking a sweat. We started the trek from Itsukaichi station direction. The route is very well-marked and established. Can't believe this place is still within Tokyo's 23 Ward border. Nonetheless, a nice change of pace from work and gloominess after the Corona lockdown in 2020. The summit itself was quite small and quickly became crowded during hiking season. There's a bas-relief of the contour of the mountain itself on the summit. One can also trek further to other mountains next to it or even all the way to Mitake valley some kilometers away.

#Tokyo Attractions The Japanese garden of Tokoji Temple is exquisite and elegant, making people feel as if they are in an ancient Japanese temple. The garden is decorated with carefully trimmed pine trees, stone lanterns, ponds and arch bridges, and the scenery changes with each season, which is full of poetry. In spring, cherry blossoms are in full bloom and their petals fall in the wind; in summer, the garden is full of greenery; in autumn, the maple leaves fill the garden with red; and in winter, the garden presents a quiet world of snow. The design of the garden emphasizes the harmony and tranquility of nature, making people feel a sense of peace and tranquility. The architecture inside the temple is also full of traditional Japanese style, and the wooden structure and elegant decoration reveal a strong cultural atmosphere. Dongguang Temple also frequently holds various Buddhist ceremonies and cultural activities, attracting many believers and cultural enthusiasts to participate.
