We head to Le Pot-feu, a long-established French restaurant located on the second floor of Miraini, a one-minute walk from Sakata Station. This restaurant, which carefully prepares seasonal local Shonai ingredients, was founded in the 1970s. It is a famous restaurant that is said to have been the driving force behind the creation of the term "Sakata French." Lunchtime is 11:30-15:00 (last orders 14:00). The interior has large, open windows, and gentle light streams in, creating a space that will help you relax. They also have a children's plate! 📍Le Pot au Feu 📞 0234-26-2218 🕰️ Lunch 11:30-15:00 (last orders 14:00) / Dinner 18:00-21:00 (last orders 20:00) 📅 Closed: Wednesdays (open on public holidays) 📍 2nd floor of Miraini, 1-10-20 Saiwai-cho, Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture (right next to Sakata Station) #AbsolutelyFreeTravel

GREENITY IWATA is a hotel located at 2280 Iwai, Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture. It carries on the tradition of the approximately 50-year-old Iwata Grand Hotel while incorporating elements of modern lifestyle, aiming to become a symbol of Iwata and enrich the lives of people and the local community. The hotel features various facilities, including an all-day dining restaurant, a Japanese cuisine restaurant, teppanyaki, a lounge, a rooftop bar, hot springs and sauna, a chapel, and banquet halls. Additionally, there are two restaurants within the hotel: Rikka, which offers French cuisine using organic ingredients, and Tokiwa, which serves innovative Japanese dishes. The hotel's rooms are designed to provide guests with a comfortable stay, and some rooms are even equipped with private saunas.

Iwata Grand Hotel has been renovated and is now open as Grinity Iwata. If you are traveling by train, take a taxi from Iwata Station or Mikuriya Station. If you are traveling by car, take the Iwai Exit at the National Route 1 from the Tomei Iwata IC and the hotel is right there. The space is lovely from the entrance to the garden. The day spa also has a sauna loyly, making it the ultimate relaxing space. This time I had an Italian lunch for 5,000 yen, but there were other courses available. Next time I'd like to try the Japanese food. #DomesticTravel #ShizuokaTrip #LuxuryHotel @#DaySpa #Sauna #Loyly #GrinityIwata #EcoPaArena 📍Location:

#urbanwanderings visited on the first day of opening. It was a relaxing resort hotel. The sauna and hot springs are spacious and have a nice feel. The Cuban sandwich and cocktail I had at the bar were delicious,Also recommended is the open-air bath! The warm water allows you to soak in the water comfortably for a long time as a relaxing time after a refreshing bath. The Moor spring, which flows directly from the source, has a nice fragrance and I was able to spend a very luxurious time,overall this place is ok

I went to "Mitsuke Tenjin" in #Iwata City, #Shizuoka Prefecture ((((((っ･ω･)っ A shrine that Rin-chan also visited in "Yuru Camp" The shrine is dedicated to the spirit dog Shippei Taro, and there is a Shippei fortune-telling slip at the shrine office, so I tried it too ε٩(๑>ω<)۶з The result was great luck ⸜((˙꒳˙ ))⸝ ﾄﾞﾔｯ The first sentence was "Without looking back, charge ahead with single-minded concentration" I'm going to go on a spree with Shinobi-chan ꉂꉂ(>ᗜ<*) Next to the Shippei fortune-telling slip is a metal offering box that Rin-chan bought (〃艸〃)♡ The style is to put the fortune-telling slip money in there There was also a traffic safety charm that can be attached to the handlebars, so I bought one too ( ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ) There was a sacred dog shrine behind Mitsuke Shrine, so I stopped by there too. ｡｡"8-(*o･ω･)o TEKTEK 🏍Mitsuke Tenjin🏍 Address: 1114-2 Mitsuke, Iwata City, Shizuoka Prefecture Worship hours: 24 hours Shrine hours: 8:30-16:45 #Touring2024 #100TravelStyles #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeMotorcycles #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeSightseeing #ConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeTraveling #ShizuokaTouristSightseeing #ShizuokaTouristSightseeing #IwataTouristSightseeing #IwataTouristSightseeing #ShizuokaTouring #TouristSightseeing #TouristSpots ...Sightseeing #Shinobi-chan #SacredDogShrine #ShippeiTaro #YuruCamp #YuruCampHolySpot #YuruCampHolySpotsPilgrimage

I don't usually eat much ramen when I travel, but I'd like to introduce a tai ramen specialty restaurant that I'd like to visit again. ✨ They operate an izakaya that serves tai soba on weekdays and sushi and tempura on weekends. [Recommended points] ① They serve ramen in the morning! ! ▶︎They're open Wednesday through Sunday from 6:00 to 8:30. They're apparently very busy in the morning! ! ② The ramen is relatively light, so it's easy for women and children to eat! ! ③ They're also family-friendly! ! ▶︎If you make a reservation in advance, you can enjoy your meal in a tatami room. ④ The first anniversary was on April 4th, so they're holding an event until the 12th. ✨ ▶︎They're also holding a lottery for discount coupons that can be used on future visits! ! [Notes] They also have a second parking lot. ▶︎It's a little hard to find, but if you don't know where it is, the staff will kindly explain it to you! ! #Tai Ramen #Tai Soba #Iwata #Iwata Gourmet #Sakura 2024
