Saga Plum Blossom Viewing Spot – Mifunegaoka Plum Grove

Posted on by nicklee

While Fukuoka Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine boasts beautiful plum blossoms,
the Mifunegaoka Plum Grove in Takeo, Saga Prefecture, is equally stunning.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t great, and my photography skills aren’t the best, so please bear with me~

There’s a teahouse here. (It’s on the right-hand side as you enter; this photo was taken when I was leaving.)

Hokkaido Accommodation – JR Inn Asahikawa – Next to JR Asahikawa Station, Aeon downstairs, all rooms with Simmons beds, and a variety of pillows to choose from

Although JR is a transportation company, they have built many hotels next to major stations across Japan.
The JR Inn Asahikawa we stayed at this time may not be a five-star hotel, but it is stylishly designed, simple, and clean.
All rooms use Simmons mattresses and offer a variety of pillows for guests to choose from.
Additionally, it is conveniently located with an Aeon supermarket downstairs, making shopping easy, which is why it is loved by many.
