2025 Tochigi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Oashigawa River in the mountains of Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture 🌍🌿 This is the place I went to for the first time last year! As you can see, the water was really clean and clear, and it was so beautiful! 🤍 It's definitely best to go on a sunny day ☀️ It was sunny in the morning, but the weather suddenly turned bad in the afternoon and it started raining ☂️ Since it's in the mountains, the weather often changes suddenly, so I recommend checking the weather forecast carefully! 😂👍🏽 Many parking lots are available for rent for a certain amount per day, so it's safe to come by car 🚗 You can really feel the nature, so please go! #tripblazers #mytripvlog #fallingforfall #beachlife #beachgirl #traveller #travelholic #backpacking #backpacker #trip #lovetravel #beach #backpacker #backpack #worldview #traveler #spooktaculartrip #beachlife #summervacation #river #nature #tochigi #japan #Tochigi #Japan #river #nature

Very nice spot to spend the day with family (specially for kids). It’s a cool place for hiking lovers too! They sell very cheap and varieties of flower plants. About 2-3 hours of driving from Tokyo. #flowerlover #flowerpark #themepark #hiking #kidsactivities #kidsfriendly #kidsfun

This shrine is located next to the factory direct sales store of the famous dacquoise barley workshop Roa. The barley beauty is also enshrined here.

I climbed the hill on my bike! This is a great spot to look out over the surrounding area from the ridge. Depending on the weather, you can see the towering Mt. Nantai. After going through the tunnel, the road starts to go downhill and you will soon reach Lake Chuzenji, so it feels like this is actually a mountain pass and you can enjoy the feeling of having climbed up by bike. #FreeSpot #Nikko #BreathtakingView

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been a post town on the Nikko Reibeishi Kaido road since the Edo period. It was also a commercial city in northern Kanto as a wholesale town that prospered through boat transport during the Edo period. Even now, the banks of the Uwa River that flows through the city and the main street of Kuranomachi are still lined with heavy black-painted storehouses and white-walled storehouses. The storehouses are said to be among the oldest in Japan. This is a record of a leisurely stroll along the charming walking path along the Kuranomachi street, feeling the history. · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • • Access 📍13-1 Fujimi-cho, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 328-0043 📍Tochigi Kuranomachi Free Parking for Visitors 〒328-0036 11 Muromachi, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 📍About 7 minutes on foot from JR Tochigi Station, about 500m #Domestic travel #Girls trip #Tochigi Prefecture #Tochigi trip #Tochigi sightseeing

Why not visit my favorite city, Tochigi?! There is a river running through Tochigi, so you can stroll around the city in a calm atmosphere. There are also many buildings and museums to enjoy. I highly recommend it for a leisurely sightseeing trip. #0yentravelautumn

It may look like something completely different, but it's a proper ginger museum. The museum is packed with things to do, including visiting Iwashita's ginger shrine, visiting Shinshoga-san's room, and taking photos on the ginger wall. The shop also sells penlights, so ginger fans should definitely get one. I honestly don't get it, but I had a blast. It was fun 🥹🫰🏻 . . . 📍Iwashita's ginger museum 🗺️Tochigi, Japan 🕑10:00-18:00 💤Tuesday 💰 - #FuriTabi #DomesticTravel #Museum

I visited the Jizoin Temple in Kagoshima, Japan, and it was an experience rich in tranquility and spirituality. The temple reflects ancient history and rich culture with its traditional architectural art and the beauty of the elaborate Japanese gardens. Wandering through its corridors, I discovered intricate motifs and statues that added to the serenity and reverence. I observed worshippers practicing their religious rituals. The gardens surrounding the temple, with green spaces and clear pools, provided an ideal environment for meditation and relaxation. My visit to Jizoin Temple offered an opportunity to enjoy nature and quietude, and to learn about the deeper aspects of Japanese culture and tradition.

Mount Taihei is located in the southern part of Tochigi Prefecture. The entire mountain has about 4,000 cherry trees, and the roads on the north side are also lined with cherry trees. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the two-kilometer-long cherry blossom tunnel is fascinating. When you come here to enjoy the flowers, you can also taste the three famous products of Mount Taihei: meatballs, grilled chicken skewers, and tamagoyaki. At the foot of Mount Taihei, Taizan Temple has a 360-year-old weeping cherry tree planted by the mother of the fourth shogun Tokugawa Ieko. #springplace2024 #cherryblossom

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ When it comes to famous flower tours in Tochigi, Ashikaga Flower Park is a must-see, but we also recommend this one! The official announcement of the blooming has been made at the Tochiki Flower Center! Many people look forward to this blue flower every year. Origin: Luzon Island, Philippines. This flower is called "jade vine". As its name suggests, this beautiful and rare flower has a jade color (turquoise) and there are very few places in Japan where you can see it. I went to Okinawa before and wanted to see it, but it was out of season... 🥺But! ! ! It is currently in full bloom at the 📍 Tochigi Flower Center in Tochigi Prefecture, so we would like to introduce it to you! *This photo was taken on April 23, 2022─･･─･･─･･─･･─･･─･･─･This Tochigi Flower Center has one of the largest greenhouses in Japan, where this jade vine is blooming. It looks more like a butterfly than a flower! In fact, if you pick up the petals (there are a lot of them falling) and line them up, it's amazing 🦋🦋 In addition to jade vine, you can see orchids and various tropical plants, and the "Heartwarming Spring Photo Spot" 📸 photo spot of an open tractor 💐 loaded with pink flowers 💐 is also super cute! If you love flowers, this is a spot you should definitely visit as a 💐 day trip spot 🚙. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ [Recommended Tochigi 🚙 driving plan 💐] Tochigi 💐 Colorful flower tour in spring 🌷 🚙💨 Wisteria flowers at Ashikaga Flower Park 💜! ↓ Ashikaga Orihime Shrine (Seven-colored Torii) ↓ Tochigi Flower Center If you want to go, save it👆📍 Tochigi Flower Center Address: 1612 Shimotsuhara, Iwafune-cho, Tochigi-shi, Tochigi Prefecture #Tourism #MomentsStarted #SpringtimeTrip #Tochigi #Drive #GW2024jp #GoldenWeek #GW

#thingstodo This shrine has a historical meaning and also you can find the storage houses near on this. Wonder around the grounds while visiting the shrine. What a little park, kids will enjoy visiting and playing with their friends. This is a shrine with an aviary by the pond. A somewhat warm and gentle. It has a very well-maintained and beautiful temple grounds, a quiet space, and a storehouse where local festival floats are stored. .

#thingstodo I visited in March to go strawberry picking. On the reservation site, I could only choose Tochiotome, but when I actually went there, I was able to choose other types of strawberries, such as Tochiaika. We went strawberry picking with Tochiaika in 30 minutes. You can enjoy an entire vinyl house reserved for yourself, and the strawberries are big and delicious. Some of you may be concerned about the fact that you have to crouch down because it's at the bottom, and that there is a beehive and there were quite a lot of bees. There is no condensed milk, just a paper cup with a container. I feel like I'm free to do whatever I want, good or bad. I had kids with me so I didn't have to worry about my surroundings.

#2024wish I was allowed to use the campground. The free space is a space with about 10 tents, and while saying that it is free, it is divided into 10 places and there is a reasonable distance from the next door, so it did not feel cramped. It's like setting up a tent at the root of coniferous trees, and it's cool in summer because it blocks the sun. Some people used hammocks. Above all, the fee is 1,660 yen, which is exceptional. The parking lot is also right next door, so it's easy to transport camping equipment, but because the bottom is a solidified surface, the side stand of the motorcycle will be filled, so motorcycles need to take measures. There are also about 10 sections of the auto camping area, and you can put up quite large tents and tarps. There are many families and groups on holidays, so if you want to enjoy solo quietly, weekdays are recommended. The soba restaurant in the administration building is only open on weekends and holidays. It is a small campground where the babbling of the stream and the voices of wild birds spread. I wish to travel more in 2024
