[Details] Yoro Valley 📍Otaki Town, Isumi District, Chiba Prefecture 🍁Autumn foliage spot I went to see the autumn leaves for the first time this year at the popular Chiba spot "Yoro Valley" 🍂 The combination of the red bridge and the autumn leaves is so beautiful that you can't help but take photos! It's easy to get there from Tokyo, so it's perfect for a weekend drive 😯 #Autumn leaf viewing #Autumn leaves #Autumn scenery #Chiba sightseeing #Yoro Valley

I went twice before the pandemic, and it seemed like the dads were having more fun than the kids. They kept asking me to take photos for them. As the pandemic has calmed down a bit, I went during Golden Week. The admission fee has gone up, but I think it's a little nicer and there are more animals. The paintings have gotten better and there is more variety. I recommend seeing the elephants who can play hula hoop and soccer.

Ichihara Lakeside Museum is an art museum built next to the lake, overlooking Lake Takataki, the largest lake in Chiba Prefecture. There are artworks in the lake, and you can rent a boat🚣‍♀️ to see them up close. It is a relaxing spot where parents and children can enjoy both indoor and outdoor art. #Museum tour #Spots for parents and children to enjoy #Instagrammable #Chiba sightseeing #minasol37

Kominato Waiting Room is located right next to Goi Station. You can get a close-up view of the Kominato Railway from inside the store or from the terrace outside. The store also sells very cute Kominato Railway goods. You can also eat bread and sweets, so it's recommended for a short break. #food #railway #freespot

It takes about an hour to get there from Tokyo on the Aqua Line. Various animals such as capybaras, peacocks, and deer roam the zoo. You can feed them all. There is also a place called Giraffe Terrace where you can feed the giraffes. There is also wonderful accommodation within the zoo, so both adults and children can enjoy a fun holiday away from the big city. #Distinctive Accommodation #Traveling with Children

We were able to experience glamping at a state-of-the-art facility in the middle of the forest, and it was a wonderful experience. There was also a zoo on the premises, which the kids loved. Dinner was delicious, probably made with local ingredients. We were also very satisfied with breakfast at Kirin Terrace. #AmazingNature#AccommodationExperience#GourmetTrip

While driving along Prefectural Route 81, the red Nijūbashi Bridge (Kannonbashi Bridge) caught my eye! Wondering what it was, I parked my car and crossed the bridge, where I discovered a temple called Shusse Kannon Yoroyama Rikkokuji! I entered through the entrance with the thought of just stopping by for a bit, but that was a foolish idea lol. There were steep slopes, stairs, and dimly lit tunnels, and I wondered where I was heading!! (It felt like an adventure, and I was excited!) It's quite a hidden spot, so it's a great place to stop by on a drive or short trip. I recommend wearing sneakers!! 🛕Spot name: Shusse Kannon Yorosan Rikkokuji 📍Location: 401 Tomen, Ichihara City, Chiba Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 9:00-17:00 🚘Access: Car▶︎About 30 minutes from Kisarazu East IC on the Aqualine Train▶︎20 minutes on foot from Yoro Valley Station #Temple #Domestic travel #Drive #Chiba sightseeing #Tourism #0 yen trip February 2025

Abundant tourist spots and leisure facilities! ~Travel record~ 🏛️Ichihara Lakeside Museum It was just the time for changing the exhibition, so there were few works to see, but there were few people and I was able to take my time looking around. The object on Lake Takataki can be viewed from the lake terrace? ☕Hirai Coffee Apparently it was introduced on King's Brunch. The hamburger with plenty of cheese was delicious! 🏫MUJI BASE OIKAWA (former Oikawa Elementary School) Apparently it's a facility where you can stay at MUJI, renovated from an abandoned school! I happened to find it and visited. There was a MUJI store, a space where you can play table tennis, badminton, basketball, etc.! It seems that you can also do workcation.

Yoro Valley is known as the "latest autumn leaves in Kanto", but the best time to view the leaves is always later. Here, you can still catch the tail end of autumn in mid-December. Kurimata Falls is the best place to enjoy the autumn leaves in Yoro Valley. Unlike traditional waterfalls that flow rapidly, Kurimata-no-Yaki flows slowly. The stream flows gently and the valley is dyed red by the autumn colors. This is a great place for hiking. You can walk along the trails covered with red leaves and slowly admire the forest that has not been trimmed by humans. Japanese tourists came in groups of three or four, and when they were tired they drank coffee on the rocks by the stream. Now that I’m middle-aged, I have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup [Sob]. 🚉Transportation strategy: Take JR to Goi Station, transfer to Kominato Railway, get off at Yoro Keikoku, take Kominato Bus in front of the station, get off at Kurimata-no-no-no, the entrance is 5 meters behind. 💰Average consumption: No tickets required🎫 📝Notes: Bring your own dry food and water, and a pair of comfortable shoes; ⏳Travel time: One day hiking

#magicalxmastrip #xmas2024 About 60 minutes from Tokyo, the annual illumination is held at the Ichihara Quodo Forest, a natural park located in the central part of Chiba Prefecture. Using about 300,000 electric decorations, we will develop illuminations in the forest with the theme of the "waterfall and lake" area and the Christmas fantasy area. Light is produced on the terrain with ridges and valleys, and you can enjoy a superb view from the observatory. You can enjoy the beautiful fairy tale world in the night forest. Access: 15 minutes on foot from Tsukizaki Station on the Kominato Railway

📍Yoro Valley Otaki Town, Isumi District, Chiba Prefecture 30 minutes from Kisarazu East IC on the Ken-O Expressway ▶️The best time to see autumn leaves is usually from late November to early December ▶️There are many spots to see autumn leaves in Yoro Valley. There is the Daifukuyama Observatory where you can view the colored mountains, walking courses along the river such as the Nakase Promenade and the Taki Meguri Promenade, and the Kengaikyo and Tsutsumori Momiji Valley. [Estimated budget] Parking 500 yen [Spending time] 1-2 hours [For those who are going now] I recommend going early in the morning. The parking lot is empty and you can take pictures of the fantastic valley. You can get a map of autumn leaf spots at the parking lot, so it's easy to understand if you use it. ▶️The bright red bridge at the entrance to Yoro Valley It curves in a W shape and is quite steep😆 There is a tunnel ahead, and there is the Shusse Kannon "Rikkokuji" golden Kannon statue. #0 yen trip November #Chiba #Chiba sightseeing #Chiba trip #Yoro Valley #Autumn leaves #Autumn leaf spots #Autumn leaf viewing

#0yentripnovember I booked a local guide and listened to his explanation as I visited the geomagnetic reversal layer (Chibanian) in Tabuchi, Yoro River Basin. Apparently, the geomagnetic reversal can be seen at the boundary of the volcanic ash layer of Mount Ko-Ontake, which erupted about 770,000 years ago. Of course, you can't see the geomagnetic reversal with the naked eye lol.

#Tokyo Attractions Yoro Valley is a place with beautiful scenery and spring-like weather all year round, attracting countless tourists to explore. The clear stream meanders through the valley, with lush forests on both sides, making people feel the breath of nature. You can stroll freely in the valley and enjoy the peaceful environment. The trails here are well-equipped to suit hikers of all levels. The beautiful scenery along the way also makes photography enthusiasts linger and capture every touching moment. Yoro Valley also offers a diverse ecology, where you can observe abundant wildlife!

Ichihara Elephant Kingdom We had a great time being so close to the animals. The only drawback is that the price is quite high compared to other zoos. The tempura bowl at Yamayo was amazing.

Pitch a tent and camp on the spacious grounds. A very cute village with lights on in the tree houses.

Definitely an amazing place to see cherry blossoms and deers… #Nara Park #Deer #Cheery Blossom

Nara park Nara is the capital of Japan’s Nara Prefecture, in south-central Honshu. The city has significant temples and artwork dating to the 8th century, when it was Japan’s capital. Deer roam in Nara Park, site of Tōdai-ji temple.

Got to hang out with some deers at Nara Park! Oh Deer!

Yoro Valley in Chiba Prefecture is a famous spot for viewing autumn leaves! We chose the easiest hiking course from the many available. It took about 30 minutes to an hour, and we enjoyed the beautiful autumn leaves 🍁 (late November) You can also cross the stone bridge on the way! At the paid parking lot run by local grandparents, we had a foot bath and some buns ♪ #ChibaTrip #YoroValley
