"Izumi Shrine⛩️" is located in "Suizenji Jojuen Garden", and Jojuen Garden is centered on the pool of Aso Mountain Spring. It is said that the spring in front of the shrine is the "water of longevity", and the water can cure all diseases and can make people live a hundred years, so it is called "water of longevity". Whether it can cure diseases and prolong life is unknown, but the water is indeed clear and the surrounding environment is beautiful, it is definitely worth a visit.

#JuneTravelSupport Japan is a country that makes you think “Ah, I want to go again…” after visiting it once! I’ll list some of the charming cities that I keep coming back to 🗾💙 🌃 Tokyo – It’s a new and fun city no matter when you go There are so many things to do in Tokyo, and they’re all different and fun, so once is never enough 😆 1. Shibuya and Harajuku are a fashion and shopping paradise🛍️ 2. If you go to Asakusa, you’ll feel the traditional feel 🎎 3. You should definitely go to Disneyland at least once 🎢 👉 Because of the constantly changing trends, it feels like you’re experiencing a new Tokyo every time you go! 🌸 Kanazawa - Simple and pretty Japanese feeling It's a little less famous, but it's a quieter and more leisurely city 1. Kenrokuen (one of the three major gardens in Japan!) It's really beautiful 🌿 2. If you go to Nishi Chaya Street, the atmosphere of the traditional tea houses is so pretty 🍵 👉 It's not crowded, so it's a good travel destination to heal quietly by yourself~

#Overseas travel Japanese city recommendations from someone who goes to Japan more than 3 times a year! 🇯🇵🤭 1. Fukuoka It's close to Busan and cheap! It's perfect for shopping! The flight time is short, so it's perfect for going with parents! 🧑🧑🧒🧒❤️👍🏻 2. Osaka There's Universal Studios, and the downtown area is well-developed, so it's great for playing! Personally, Osaka Universal Studios was the most fun of all the Universals I've been to! ❤️🥰 I recommend it as a good place to go with friends! 💓😍 3. Furano It's a city near Sapporo, about 2 hours away! I really recommend going around July It's a place where flowers are blooming really beautifully, so it would be nice to go with your mom or grandma 💐🌼🪻 If you're wondering where to go in Japan, refer to the three places above I hope you have a fun trip! ✈️

Here are some travel destinations in Japan recommended by someone who has visited Japan over 20 times! 🇯🇵😍 ☑️ Otaru Personally, this is my favorite city in Hokkaido! It's famous for movies like "Love Letter" and "Moonlit Winter." Winter in snowy Sapporo is absolutely stunning! ❤️😍 Although it's a small city, it's charming and has plenty of attractions to explore, so I highly recommend it. 👍🏻 ☑️ Miyazaki Among the Japanese cities I've visited, this is the one with the fewest Korean tourists! Miyazaki is more popular among Japanese locals than foreign tourists. 🫶🏻 Because of this, you can fully experience the authentic Japanese vibe. It's peaceful, affordable, and simply delightful. ❤️😍 ☑️ Noboribetsu Noboribetsu during autumn, when the leaves turn vibrant colors, is truly breathtaking! 🤭 Plus, there are many national parks, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers. Highly recommended! 👍🏻 If you're considering destinations other than Osaka or Fukuoka, I suggest checking out these places! 💓

#April Good Places 2025 Built in the early Edo period and inspired by the 53rd Tokaido, Kumamoto City’s traditional Japanese tour-style garden features pools of springs, fake mountains and delicate stone paths. "Izumi Shrine", "Inawa Shrine", and "Mizumaeji Shrine" are also historic gardens, which are lush greenery with the neatness and delicacy common in Japanese gardens. The most spiritual atmosphere in the garden is the “Izumi Shrine”, where as usual to be quiet and connected with the shrine’s energy. There is a saying in Japanese that is ~ Ah Hum's breath, which means that the two parties cooperate seamlessly and have a tacit understanding. The "ah" (あうん) inside refers to the 狛犬 whose mouth opens and closes in front of the shrine and temple. Actually, he doesn't look evil, he's very cute. There are many souvenir shops outside the door. The prices are not expensive. It is worth a visit.
