Tips for a Fun Shinkansen Journey with Local Food!

Let me share some tips for traveling on the Shinkansen✨ First up is the local Shinkansen station 'Gifu-Hashima.' This station is only served by local trains. 👑 Recommended Point ① 👑 Although it's not a large station, it's surprisingly convenient! You can reach Osaka in about 55 minutes and Tokyo in about 1 hour and 30 minutes✨ 👑 Recommended Point ② 👑 If you book a reserved seat, you can travel comfortably seated. When reserving your Shinkansen ticket, I highly recommend opting for a reserved seat✨ Since it departs from Shin-Osaka, make sure to book early to secure your reserved seat😊 👑 Recommended Point ③ 👑 The station kiosk offers local specialties for sale✨ Of course, the Tokai region is famous for dishes like miso katsu and eel bento✨ However, my top recommendations are the 'Temari Sushi Bento' and 'Miso Katsu Sandwich'! The Temari Sushi Bento is a must-try item that often sells out! Definitely give it a taste✨ The Miso Katsu Sandwich is a reliable choice for deliciousness✨ 🌸 Gifu-Hashima Station features two platforms: one for Tokyo-bound trains and one for Osaka-bound trains. It's a clean and elevated station with an open view, making the arrival of Shinkansen trains quite thrilling✨ 🚇📍 Location: 645-1 Fukujucho Hirakata, Hashima City, Gifu Prefecture 🗺️ The area around the station includes hotels, rental cars, and Meitetsu trains, so transportation is very convenient.
