Chiryu Flower Festival (花じょうぶまつり)💐🪻 — traveler post in Chiryu

Chiryu Flower Festival (花じょうぶまつり)💐🪻

Chiryu City has flourished as a transportation hub since ancient times, and is famous for the Kamakura Kaido built in the Kamakura period, the Ikegoi Carp Gate, the 39th post town on the Tokaido in the Edo period, and for its horse market. Traces of the Tokaido from the Edo period can still be seen in the city. In the Edo period, it was written as Chiryu (carp in the pond), and the furigana in the historical Kana usage was “Chirifu”. Chiryu Park is famous for its irises, which were given as gifts by the Emperor and Empress Meiji, and this is the main reason why many people visit this festival every year. In addition to the beautiful flowers, you can enjoy various cultural events, tea parties, take photos, and see traditional “karakuri” dolls. Delicious food is also available at the park’s shop. 🗓️Schedule of Shiryu Festival 1. Shiryu Matsuri Festival 2/5/2024 - 3/5/2024 2.

Chiryu Shrine, one of the most famous shrines on the Tokaido — traveler post in Chiryu

Chiryu Shrine, one of the most famous shrines on the Tokaido

I visited Chiryu Shrine in Aichi Prefecture. The information board states that Chiryu Shrine is one of the leading shrines on the Tokaido. It is one of the three major shrines on the Tokaido (Mishima, Atsuta, and Ikorifuna) and flourished as a temple town. Ikorifunajuku, which flourished around the shrine, was also a bustling post town on the Tokaido 53 Stations, and the temple town that stretches to the south of Chiryu Shrine still retains faint traces of the old Tokaido, where Ryounji Temple is located. It is now located under National Route 1 and the elevated National Route 155, so I couldn't see the shrine while passing by, and passed it by without stopping, but the area where the old Tokaido was located has a charming atmosphere that preserves the history of Ikorifunajuku, with the remains of Chiryu Castle, Ikorifuna Daimyojin all-night light, and nostalgic old town houses with blackboard walls. Within the shrine grounds is the Tahoto Pagoda, a nationally designated important cultural property. It is a structure from the Muromachi period and is very worth seeing. The other structures were constructed from the late Edo period through the Showa period, but the shrine building layout in Owari style, which is rare in the Mikawa region, has led to it being designated as a national registered tangible cultural property. It's definitely worth a visit! #tourist spots with a sense of history #tourism in Aichi Prefecture #visiting shrines

A small shrine in the village of Chiryu. — traveler post in Chiryu

A small shrine in the village of Chiryu.

A small community shrine, but with a very good atmosphere, quiet, cool air, is a spot to take pictures with changing leaves in early December, when the leaves change color to their fullest. Most Japanese grandparents like to walk for exercise in the evening, and some take their dogs for a run in the early morning. It is a beautiful sight that can be seen with the eyes and experience traditional Japanese culture, traditions, and lifestyle, which makes foreigners like us who come to live in Japan fall in love with the charm of Japaneseness like this. #TravelJapan #ThaisInJapan #TravelJapanByYourself

Legoland Japan Resort

There are many interesting rides. Many restaurants in the theme park as well. It is easy to get to with subway. If there is a thing that needs to improve is that some shows need to have English subtitles.

We enjoyed a lot in this public aquarium! The dolphins show was particularly informative of the ecology of sea creatures.
