This is the "Ancient Lotus Village" in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture! The ancient lotus (Gyoda lotus) that blooms in the Ancient Lotus Village is said to be called the ancient lotus because seeds that came out of a layer of earth 1,400 to 3,000 years ago in Gyoda City sprouted and bloomed!! In addition to the ancient lotus, there are 42 types of lotus flowers blooming here, totaling about 120,000 plants𖧷 It's very relaxing to see so many lotus flowers in the large garden♩ The lotus flowering period is scheduled to end in early August🕚 #Flower spot #Saitama #Gyoda City #Lotus flower #Lotus

The retro atmosphere is irresistible I had previously visited this place around 1pm, wanting to try their bread, but there was only one loaf of bread left, so I wanted to try again, and visited a little after opening time at 11am. Cars were coming in one after another, and you could see how popular it was. This time I was able to buy several of the cubed breads I was looking for and I was very satisfied!! Strawberry, chocolate, lemon tea, etc. When I cut it, the strawberry-colored bread was filled with chunks of fruit pulp and it was really delicious. My family loved it too😍😍😍 I'll definitely be coming back. Flower water basin events are being held all over Gyoda! This time, beautiful flowers were arranged as well. #Saitama #Gyoda #Day trip #Bakery #Very popular #Renovation #0 yen trip January 2025

The Guinness-certified world's largest rice field art, the pride of Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture Every year, a theme that symbolizes that year for Saitama (or Japan) is chosen, and a design is selected In 2018, the first year of the Reiwa era, the design was the Japanese national team players for the Rugby World Cup (Temporarily suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic) When it resumed in 2021, it was Kabuki In 2022, it was the soccer manga "Aoashi" In 2023, it was the movie "Fly Me to Saitama," which was self-deprecating about Saitama In 2024, it was "Ganbare Noto" In front of the rice field art stands the 50m-tall "Kodairen Kaikan" tower, and you can view the rice field art from its observation deck (400 yen fee, Paypay payment available) The rice is planted with the angle of view from the observation deck carefully calculated, so the design is visually natural. However, if you look at it from the ground, you won't know what it is at all (obviously). The observation deck is freezing cold, so you can enjoy the Guinness-certified rice field art while cooling off during the height of summer. By the way, it is a 360° panoramic observation deck, so if the weather is good, you can see Mt. Fuji (especially recommended in the winter evenings). The best time to see the rice field art is from July to August, and until around mid-October before the rice harvest. At the foot of the tower is a lotus pond where Gyoda's pride and joy, ancient lotus, and lotus from around the world are grown. The rice field season and lotus season overlap, so you can enjoy both. The park itself is a convenient size for a stroll, and it is also a walking course for dogs. The vegetables at the farm produce store at the entrance are fresh and very cheap, so I recommend them. #tripdomestictravel #saitamaprefecture #ricefieldart #guinnesscertified

~Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture~ Maetama Shrine ☑️It is also one of the three main venues for the Gyoda City Light of Hope Light-up. ☑️It has the feel of an old, solemn shrine.

Maruzukayama Kofun in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture Maruzukayama Kofun in Sakitama Kofun Park It is one of the largest circular tumuli in Japan, and is said to have the highest elevation in the Saitama Kofun Group. Its diameter is 105m and its height is about 19m. It is also known as the site of the siege of Oshi Castle, and part of the road to the tumulus is the remains of a levee called "Ishida Tsutsumi", where Mitsunari Ishida attacked Oshi Castle with water. The most beautiful time to visit this tumulus is when the cherry blossoms bloom. There are cherry trees around the tumulus and on top of it, so you can see a truly beautiful view from below and from above. Not only cherry blossoms, but also rape blossoms are in bloom, so the collaboration of pink and yellow is amazing! This area is also aiming to be registered as a World Heritage Site, and is likely to attract even more attention in the future. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥLocation: Maruzukayama Kofun ꕥAddress: 4834 Saitama, Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Fukiage Station → 🚏Industrial Road → Approximately 31 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Cherry Blossoms #Great Views of Cherry Blossoms #Cherry Blossom Spots #Cherry Blossom Season

Gyoda Hachiman Shrine in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 When Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and Yoshiie were conquering Oshu, they stayed here to pray for victory. It is said that they enshrined it at Samada Naka. After that, it became the main shrine of Oshi Castle, and in the Meireki era, it was moved to its current location. Flower water basin has been an initiative since the spring of 2020. You can see it all over the grounds! It is not a large shrine, but it is also known as the shrine of sealing. It has various benefits such as sealing away insects, cancer, various diseases, incurable diseases, and dementia, and the grounds were filled with many worshippers! ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Gyoda Hachiman Shrine ꕥAddress: 16-23 Gyoda, Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Fukiage Station → 🚏Shinmachi 2-chome → approx. 2-minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sightseeing #Gyoda Hachiman Shrine #Flower Water #Shrine #Shrines and Temples #Visiting a Shrine

Maetama Shrine in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 This shrine is adjacent to the Sakitama Tomb Group, and the shrine building is built on top of the tomb. The tomb is called Sengenzuka, and is 8.7m high and 92m in circumference. The shrine grounds include Asama Shrine, Meiji Shrine, Tenjin Shrine, and Inari Shrine! The Benten Shrine, surrounded by a pond, is also mysterious. The flower water basin was also beautifully decorated. It also seems that the shrine keeps cats, and I met a cat in a cage and a cat with a collar walking around the grounds. There are stone monuments scattered all over the place, making it a shrine that makes you want to stroll around. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Maetama Shrine ꕥAddress: Saitama 5450, Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Fukiage Station → 🚏Sangyo Road → approx. 23 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sightseeing #Shrine #Shrine tour #Shrine worship #Temple and shrine

The destination for many people who come to Japan must be #Mt.Fuji Me too 🗻 Last time I didn't go to Fuji because it was cloudy. This time I went back to Japan, I was lucky because the sky was clear. ☀️🌏 . We woke up early in the morning and traveled by train because we wanted to go on the clearest day. We went without booking anything, so we took the train, which is more expensive than the bus. It depends on your convenience, but I personally like the train feeling more. 🚃 🚆 Traveling from Shinuku Station 🚉 to Otsuki Station and then change to the Fujikyuko Line to Kawaguchiko Station Normally, everyone who reviews a trip around Mt. Fuji wants to take the Red Line to see everything. But when we went, we saw people queuing up and we were too lazy to wait. We talked to our boyfriend about walking together, it's easy, we don't have to stop at the landmarks, just walking and seeing Fuji is awesome. 💕✨🫶My boyfriend agreed, like us, as usual. While we were both walking and taking pictures There was a Japanese uncle who just came out of Lawson and asked what country he was from. When I told him Thailand, he spoke Japanese excitedly. He must have been to Thailand before and gave me 2 packs of Dorayaki. They were very delicious. I was impressed. I took pictures and ate here. I could eat right in Lawson. The atmosphere was great, the view was beautiful, and the people were lovely and very happy. 🥰😍 From Lawson, we looked to see where else we could walk. We saw that Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway was about 2 kilometers away. If I remember correctly, we went along the houses of the people and there were quite a few people queuing up, but the wait wasn't long. The cable car ride up was probably 950 yen per person for a round trip. I can't remember the exact price, but it was worth it. The view was great and the sky was clear and very welcoming. 🗻 This was the most memorable visit that I've ever had and I want to go back again and again.
