Byakugo-ji Temple in Hyogo Prefecture is one of the Kansai region's premier floral destinations, renowned for its spectacular Kyushaku wisteria. While it's bound to be crowded, what awaits you is a breathtakingly stunning wisteria landscape. This limited-time destination is absolutely worth the visit, even if you have to brave the heavy traffic to get there. ✔︎ Spectacular floral landscapes of Kyushaku wisteria ✔︎ Expect heavy traffic jams during Golden Week (GW) ✔︎ Still highly worth the visit · Blooming season: Early to mid-May. · Photos taken during GW 2025. · ------------------------------------------------ 🪻 Byakugo-ji Temple 📍 709 Byakugoji, Ichijima-cho, Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture 🚇 Approx. 10 mins by taxi from Ichijima Station on the JR Fukuchiyama Line 🕘 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (May vary during wisteria season) 💰 Adults: 300 yen · ------------------------------------------------ Flowers Spectacular Views Spot Spot Scenery with

A whole new world from the daytime. The most magical wisteria illuminations✨ ~Kyushaku Wisteria x Wisteria Tunnel~ A special wisteria spot you must visit at night: The "Kyushaku Wisteria" at Byakugou-ji Temple. When illuminated, the long, cascading wisteria vines emerge from the darkness, creating a magical scene that looks just like a curtain of light. The sight of the longest flower clusters (up to approx. 120cm) gently swaying is a masterpiece, and you can enjoy a completely different, "mature vibe" compared to the daytime. The illuminations run from around 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. And the other spot, a famous wisteria destination highly recommended for the daytime: Shirai Ohmachi Fuji Park. The highlight here is the sheer scale of the approx. 500-meter-long wisteria trellis, where you can experience the feeling of being completely enveloped by wisteria in the bright daylight. There might be a collaboration with carp streamers (koinobori) again this year! "Nighttime Magic x Daytime Splendor" I highly recommend this combination✨ The two spots are about an hour's drive apart (approx. 50km)🚗 It's absolutely perfect for a road trip during the wisteria season. ーーーーーーーーーー 📍Byakugou-ji Temple (Illuminations) 709 Byakugouji, Ichijima-cho, Tamba, Hyogo 📍Shirai Ohmachi Fuji Park (Recommended for daytime) 1008 Shirai, Wadayama-cho, Asago, Hyogo 🚗Distance: Approx. 50km (About 1 hour) ーーーーーーーーーー ✔ Byakugou-ji Temple truly shines at night ✔ Totally different vibes between day and night ✔ Hitting both in one trip guarantees 100% satisfaction!

Spreading endlessly overhead, the wisteria blossoms create a magnificent landscape that looks just like a sheer curtain of purple ✨ ⸻ 🌙 The Night Illumination is Highly Recommended Lit up after sunset, the wisteria takes on a surreal and magical atmosphere entirely different from the daytime. The vibrant blossoms glowing against the dark night sky are so incredibly beautiful that you'll find yourself completely mesmerized. The "25th Byakugoji Temple Kyushaku Fuji Festival" is scheduled to be held from Saturday, April 25 to Sunday, May 10, 2026. · The night illumination is planned for April 29 to May 10.

If you want a comfortable and uncrowded travel experience in Kansai, consider exploring Hyogo, also part of the Kansai region. Tamba City in central Hyogo Prefecture holds many surprises. Visit Kogenji Temple to admire the autumn leaves; this ancient temple, founded in 1325, is a famous spot for maple viewing in Hyogo. During the viewing season, fiery red maple leaves adorn the entire mountain, with temple halls and pavilions scattered throughout, exuding a strong historical charm. The uniquely designed mountain gate is a must-visit photo spot. The founding Zen master of the temple brought maple trees from Tianmu Mountain in Hangzhou, planting them around the temple. These are called Tianmu maples, characterized by small leaves and slender, drooping branches. The viewing period usually starts in mid to late October when the leaves begin to turn red, reaching full red color across the mountain in early to mid-November. The temple is open from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM from April to September). The address is 514 Hikura, Aogaki-cho, Tamba City. Come to Hyogo and enjoy a unique travel experience!

This is Amago Village. The address is 898 Daimyōsō, Aogaki-chō, Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture. You can experience catching amago fish by hand. Currently, the entrance fee is 500 yen. Rainbow trout fishing is also available; the entrance fee for that is 500 yen and includes one fishing rod. Opening hours are from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM (until 4:00 PM on weekends). I went on a tour this time, so I don't know the exact price, but I think it was the Amago Satisfaction Set Course. The Amago Satisfaction Set Course is 5060 yen (tax included). I'm not particularly fond of fish, but the freshly grilled amago was delicious, and the freshly fried amago and rice were also excellent. The building has a traditional Japanese house feel, so it has a great atmosphere and I highly recommend it! 😊 #AmagoCatching #AmagoVillage #TambaCity

Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture On the banks of the Kako River B&B Kurodouan Surrounding walking spots

#Best Vipassana Research and Fashion Show Stage 💞Recommendation reason: Travel in depth to explore the surrounding environment and attractions. I deeply discovered that this is a natural and good place. Purify your body and mind to explore yourself, get in touch with local culture exchanges or get in touch with nature to observe the ecological conservation of flowers and insects. From July 5 to August 4, set your own Vipassana research topic. 1. Self-healing: Take a walk along the Kakogawa River in the morning and evening 2. Observe the growth and location of the flowers and plants you encounter during the walk 3. Learn new interests such as knitting and singing balls Living here, I live a comfortable and happy life every day😃 Self-healing Because of the mental pressure of long-term unemployment (3 years) I have no life goals and feel like a zombie all day long, which leads to slippery consciousness and sudden loss of consciousness.

I visited a cafe called '(less)monoile' in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture! 📍549-2 Shimoogura, Kashiwabara-cho, Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture I went during the cherry blossom season, so I could see the cherry blossoms in full bloom from the window! When I arrived before opening, there were already people lined up at this popular spot! After waiting leisurely, I was told to choose any seat I liked, and to my delight, the most special seat was available! I enjoyed a blissful time eating delicious cake while gazing at the cherry blossoms through the window🌸 The owner and staff were kind, and the handmade furniture was adorable, making it a place I truly love!
