The "A Happy Pancake" beach on Awaji Island has become a popular Instagram spot due to its beautiful sea views and dreamy check-in installation art. The scenery here combines the azure blue of the Seto Inland Sea with the romance of the art installations, and every detail is stunning. Stairway to Happiness - A dreamy road to the clouds The pure white stairs extend toward the sky, with the boundless blue sky and the Seto Inland Sea as the background.

This villa offers a beautiful ocean view. I visited on a weekday with five friends for workcation. The spacious work space and fast Wi-Fi helped me get work done, and I also enjoyed the sauna and delicious food. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable, and my friend and I slept next to each other, but it didn't feel cramped at all. It can accommodate up to seven people. The villa is located on a steep slope, so I thought I would rent a small car if I were traveling with friends.

The paid bus is a route bus, but it covers the main tourist spots. Please check the timetable before departing and enjoy your bus trip. ◆Free shuttle bus You can visit the west coast, centering on Nijigen no Mori ◆Awakami Awahime Bus (Awaji City Life Tourism Bus) 500 yen per trip, 1,000 yen for a one-day unlimited pass #Bus trip 2024 #Awaji Island

The most beautiful happy pancake shop where you can’t help but be happy🥞🇯🇵 This Happy Pancake shop on Awaji Island has surpassed ordinary restaurants 🫶 and has become one of the must-see attractions on Awaji Island! 💫 Why? There are indoor and plenty of outdoor seats, and all seats are first-row 180-degree sea view seats🌊 Looking at the blue sky and super clear sea, it really feels like a vacation⛱️You can sit comfortably for an afternoon! All seats have sun umbrellas, and there is a small swimming pool outside (I don’t know if you can really swim in it, I didn’t see anyone swimming that day haha ​​🏊🏻♀️) The most crazy thing is that there are many beautiful coastal check-in spots, including the stairs to the sky, the giant sea-viewing swing, the bell of happiness, etc. 🌊💫 Happy Pancakes (Muffins🥞) are so delicious that I can’t say anything about it🙂↔️ The rich egg aroma and souffle texture of the pancakes! Add to that different flavors of toppings and cream/ice cream, and it’s really a perfect combination! 🤤 This time I chose the flavor that is limited to the main store on Awaji Island, paired with fresh strawberries🍓, it's very good♥️ 🥞A Happy Pancake Awaji Island Resort 📍 42-1 Ozaki, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture #GlobalTravel

While enjoying a drive on Awaji Island, I stopped by "Bentendo". This is a sweets shop that specializes in takeout. The interior of the shop has a simple and stylish atmosphere. And the display case is lined with delicious looking sweets. I couldn't decide what to buy, but I bought a mille-feuille, an eclair, and a cream puff and went home. But! I couldn't resist and took a bite of the eclair in the car (lol). The crust was crispy and super delicious! And the mille-feuille, which I was most looking forward to, was also exquisite, with a generous amount of creamy custard cream sandwiched between the crispy crust. I don't want to tell anyone about this sweets shop because I don't want it to become difficult to buy. Bentendo Direct Store ⚫︎Address / 3254 Shizuki, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture ⚫︎Closed / Sundays and Mondays (irregular holidays) ⚫︎Opening hours / 10:30-until stock runs out #Awaji Island Gourmet #Awaji Island Sweets #Awaji Island

Hyogo Prefecture in January 𓂃 ✍︎______________________________________📍S.CORRIDOR It's been a while since I last visited Awaji Island There are many villas with ocean views on Awaji Island, but this one just opened last fall As soon as you enter there is a spacious counter kitchen, and it's fun to wonder which plates to use. The kitchen is also more complete than any other villa. Next to the kitchen is a courtyard where you can enjoy the outside breeze and have a BBQ (the owner runs a famous yakiniku restaurant in Kyoto, so if you book a BBQ as an option, the meat is delicious). Next to it is the living room, where a projector and a switch are provided. Going up the stairs to the second floor are the bedrooms and bathrooms. There are three bedrooms and can accommodate up to 10 people. The mattresses were embedded so I was able to sleep comfortably and see the stars⭐︎The stylish bathroom is fully air-conditioned and the bathtub is small, but I'm so happy that there is an open-air bath. There is one toilet on the first floor and one on the second floor, which is very convenient◎The air conditioning was also quite good, and since it was winter, I didn't see any bugs◎Please bring your own bedding. There was ice, Haagen-Dazs, several types of drinks, cup noodles, and Starbucks coffee in the refrigerator◎ The building must have cost a lot of money, but I think the price is reasonable, so I highly recommend it. Let's take good care of this beautiful villa so as not to spoil it. The furniture, lighting, and custom-made glass make this villa a museum for viewing the sea. A beautiful view that seems like a painting awaits you from every space! It was so warm that it was hard to believe it was winter, and the waves were calm, so it was the best. I just spent the whole day looking at the sea, but it went by in a flash. I want to go again. There are also smaller villas in the series, so check them out. #Awajishima #AwajishimaTrip #HyogoPrefecture #WinterTrip #AccommodationReport #presiatravel #PresiaTravel

Name of restaurant: Hama Chidori Address: 2F Iwaya Port Building, 925-27 Iwaya, Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture Access: 2 minutes on foot from Iwaya Port This restaurant is located on the second floor of Iwaya Port Terminal, where the high-speed ferry Genova Line departs and arrives. They serve dishes using seasonal seafood. This time I ordered octopus and shirasu rice. The octopus is well-seasoned, so it's delicious to eat it as rice, but since it also has dashi stock, it's even more delicious if you eat it like ochazuke. If you have a little time before boarding the ferry, I recommend eating here. #domestictravel #gourmet #gourmetfood

#KobeTourism ~Happy Pancakes~ Awaji Island can be reached from Kobe by car or bus. Right now, Awaji Island is a very popular tourist destination. Happy Pancakes is one of the most popular. You can enjoy pancakes while looking out at the sea. With a foreign-like ocean view, you'll forget you're on Awaji Island. It's like being in a foreign country. The pancakes, which were full of fruit, were a little pricey, but the quantity was good. There are also photogenic spots, so you can enjoy not only the food but also the memories. You'll probably have to wait a long time if you don't make a reservation, so make sure you make one.

Hello! I'm Kansai Rider! In January, I went to Awaji Island, located in the eastern Seto Inland Sea! I'd like to share the charm of Awaji Island with everyone! Here's the route I took this time~~ 10:00 Akashi Kaikyo Bridge → Awaji Roadside Station → Onaruto Bridge → Uzu no Michi → Uzushio Roadside Station → Shiawase Pancake Main Store Awajishima Terrace 18:00 → Return to Osaka Sights 1. Awaji Roadside Station After all, this is the first stop you should visit after arriving on Awaji Island! After eating Awaji Island's famous raw whitebait bowl and looking at the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, it's the most comfortable way to start your full-fledged Awaji Island trip from here! Business hours: 9:30-17:30 (opening times vary by store) Gourmet: 750-1000 yen 2. Onaruto Bridge Promenade Uzu no Michi It's in Tokushima, but it's a place you definitely want to stop by at least once when you come to Awaji Island! A famous spot where you can watch the whirlpools from an observation deck 50 meters above the sea! The transparent glass makes it even more impressive! Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 Price: 510 yen for adults, 410 yen for junior and senior high school students, 260 yen for elementary school students The best time to watch the tides and the days they are closed are listed on the official website, so check it out! 3.

It's no exaggeration to say that you can buy onion-related souvenirs after eating, so isn't it the best? Business hours: 9:00-17:00 Burger: 770-1500 yen (limited quantity available) 4. Happy Pancake Main Store Awajishima Terrace After eating, getting tired from the day, and starting to get sleepy, a sweet dessert is the best!

One of them is "Takosen no Sato", a place you should stop by once when you go to Awajishima. It's sold directly from the factory, so you can see the process of how the cute takosen are made!

Yushikoku was converted from a red brick warehouse and is full of nostalgic atmosphere. This time we came during lunch time, there were not many people, only a few tables, and it felt more comfortable to sit in the spacious red brick building. The restaurant uses local ingredients from Awaji Island. Because Awaji Island is rich in onions, the signature dish is Awaji Island beef rice bowl. However, I didn't order it. Instead, I ordered the ceramic grilled beef set meal, which uses high-quality Awaji beef, Awaji onions and Awaji Island rice, and is served with 3 different seasonings. It costs less than 2,000 yen, is delicious and worth the money. The restaurant also has a specialty store for local products, which sells a variety of onion products. It is the place to buy specialties from Awaji Island. Address: 1-1-8 Shioya, Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture #Awaji Island

The grilled conger eel at Uomasu Fresh Fish Shop on Awaji Island is very delicious. You must try it when you come to Awaji Island. This time I went to Xingfu Pancake and passed by "Yu Zeng Fresh Fish Shop" on the way. Even on weekdays around 2pm, there are always Japanese people coming, all of them are here to buy grilled conger eels. Maybe because it was already afternoon when we arrived, the conger eels had already been grilled and the workers were packing up the grilling utensils. Even though the conger eel is frozen, it is still delicious😋😋😋. Next time, if possible, I will come earlier to eat freshly grilled conger eels.

Awaiting Hanasajiki Awaji Hanasajiki is a flower theme park located on Awaji Island, famous for its brightly colored flower fields. When we arrived at around 10 o'clock in the morning in mid-November, there were already quite a few Japanese people and Japanese tour groups visiting. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing that only a small part of the flower fields had beautiful flowers blooming. Instead, you can buy souvenirs at the direct-sale stores within the park.

Awaji Island is located between the main island of Japan and Shikoku. Awaji City has the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge to and from Kobe. Depart from Kobe and enter Awaji Island through the Akashi Strait. First we came to Awaji-michi Station, which is located right below the end of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. From here you can see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, and the scenery is beautiful. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is known as the world's longest suspension bridge, with a total length of 3,911 meters.

Kamenoi Hotel Awaji Island is a traditional Japanese-style inn offering one night and two meals. Located on the hill, with a superb sea view. The hotel provides traditional Japanese Yukata robes, which can be picked up in different sizes at the lobby. The hotel facilities show that the hotel has a history, but the hotel rooms seem to have been renovated. Although the hotel is a bit old, it is clean and comfortable. Dinner was a traditional Japanese dinner. The dinner was delicious and the last dessert was orange jelly. 😋😋😋The most unexpected thing is the free noodle soup starting at 9pm. I was a little hungry after soaking in the hot springs, so a thin bowl of noodles was just right. The texture of the noodles is similar to wonton noodles, like a bowl of non-spicy dandan noodles, and it tastes very good. Breakfast is a buffet in two sessions. I chose the second time period, 8:15-9:00. If you stay in a hot spring hotel, you need to get up early. #Japanese Hotel

This is a stylish restaurant on Awaji Island. The scenery is beautiful, and the sea breeze feels great. However, it's so crowded on weekends that it might be better to go on a weekday. It's a popular spot where you can relax from your busy city life. Please do give it a try.
