It takes about 15 minutes by Kintetsu Railway to reach Koriyama Station from Nara. Nara Koriyama is the famous "Goldfish Capital" in Japan and was a goldfish breeding area in the early years. Its history dates back to the Edo period, when goldfish were a symbol of luxury and were exported during their heyday. Koriyama Station Shopping Street and Yanagimachi Shopping Street are both the most lively places in the Kintetsu Koriyama area. There are many goldfish-themed products in the shopping streets, such as goldfish-related soda, goldfish cloth shops, goldfish restaurants, and goldfish pottery. If you have a one-day trip to Nara, in addition to visiting Koriyama Castle, you can also visit the shopping street. #Valentine's Day Destinations #JapanTravel #Nara #JapanFreeTravel #Goldfish

#JapanTravel 🎍 The area called ‘Nara’ is located in the middle of Osaka and Kyoto and is historically important! Let me introduce you to ‘Koriyama Castle’ that preserves the history of the old Heian and Edo periods and has been preserved for a long time! This is the castle of Hidenaga, the younger brother of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and although it is a small castle, it is a place where you can feel the atmosphere and history. It is a place that is constantly being restored, and the castle site is beautiful and the nature is superb. If you like history and archeology, I recommend visiting Koriyama Castle in Nara! 🖼️ It is a place with surprisingly beautiful views and scenery, and you can see the Heijo Imperial Palace site in Nara from afar!
