A lovely city that takes dumplings as a tourist selling point | Utsunomiya Miyazaki fried dumplings [Qingyuan] Address: 1-23, Izumi-cho, Utsunomiya, Izumi-cho, Higashi-machi, 1F Opening hours: 10

Nikko Moriyama Shrine is a shrine standing in the mountain of Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The official name is the second mountain shrine (). However, in order to communicate with the second idyllic mountain community in Utsunomiya City, the name of the place is often added, which is called "Nikko Ekiyama Shrine". This shrine was founded in the first year of the Shenhuo Jingyun (767). The style of the shrine's architectural structure is the right-made style of stone-based wooden structure. The main worship of the gods is the three mountain gods of Nikko: Dajigui, Tianxinji, and Miyoshi Gaoyan, collectively known as the Great God of the Second Mountain (the sacred god was given to the "Five Five" in 836, and in 869 Was given to the "two ranks" of God.) Because the shrine is adjacent to the Toshogu Shrine, and is also located in the foothills of Nikko Lianshan, according to the "local slogan" derived from the fusion of Japanese Shintoism and Buddhism, the mountain god of the Mt. "Everything is expensive," also stands for "Avalokitesvara"; the mountain god of Fungfeng Mountain is "Tian Xin Ji Ming", which also stands for "Amitabha"; the mountain god of Taro Mountain is "Miso Yanhiko" and also stands for "Ma Tau" Guanyin." The routine ceremony day is April 17th of each year, and it is also the day of the Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is said that the entire Utsunomiya is built around the Wakayama Shrine. The shrine is the city center. The shrine is free, but if you want to go in, you have to climb a long staircase. In Japan, the shrine stairs should go on both sides. It is said that the middle is for the gods.

Otani Museum, this is a name that sounds a bit boring. But he is very popular in Japan, and movies, popular band MVs, small concerts, high-end press conferences for international brands, etc., will choose here. This is actually a magical unnatural cave. This was originally a quarry. Since 1919, local people have discovered from a hole that the stone is rich in resources and good in texture. It is suitable for reprocessing and began to dig. It is said that the underground mining site has an area of about 20,000 square meters. The deepest place is 60 meters. There are more than 200 similar quarries in the vicinity, the size may be different, and now they are basically abandoned and flooded by mountains and rivers. From the data, it is also possible to hold a wedding here! However, according to the curator's introduction, it is a pity that it is difficult for foreigners to make an appointment for such a wedding ceremony.

From the brochure you got at the Utsunomiya JR station, you will find a map of the jazz bar! Watanabe Watanabe, the "father of the Japanese saxophone" who grew up in Utsunomiya, brought a strong jazz atmosphere to the city. Without this booklet, you absolutely can't think of the more than 30 large and small jazz in the small towns on the streets after the sunset. There are not many foods available in more than 30 jazz bars. If you want to solve the dinner together, you are recommended to come to this Free Flight. We are all surprised that the dishes in this bar are so good, and no wonder my friend said. This is a restaurant that was delayed by the bar's sideline business. Of course, the cocktails recommended by the bar are also very good. You can also order non-alcoholic drinks without drinking. The store also deliberately gave us a few foreign silver to show off the stunts of a large ice hockey for a few seconds.

In the summer, the temperature inside the grotto is much lower than the outdoor, and the moisture inside the cave can often see this smog. Hey, this smoke is really bad, I dont have a tripod, I will watch it. The scene will be spectacular.

Central Park, Utsunomiya, Japan

It’s a great place to visit… it’s a nice place to visit… No words to describe feeling… so much beautiful place in Central Park in Utsunomiya, Japan… 📍Address:中央公園宇都宮 #world

Utsunomiya Zoo 🇯🇵

#cherryblossom2024 Utsunomiya Zoo was a charming surprise on my spring vacation in Japan! 🐼 Located in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, this zoo offered a delightful escape into the animal kingdom. The entrance fee was quite affordable, around 600 yen per person, making it a budget-friendly option for families and solo travelers alike. As I explored the zoo, I encountered a variety of animals, from playful pandas to majestic tigers and colorful birds. #UtsunomiyaZoo and #AnimalEncounters Nearby, attractions like the Utsunomiya Futaarayama Jinja Shrine provided opportunities to explore Japan's cultural heritage, while the scenic Utsunomiya Castle Ruins Park offered a peaceful retreat amidst nature. Plus, don't miss the chance to indulge in local cuisine at nearby restaurants and cafes. Utsunomiya Zoo was a delightful destination for a day of fun and discovery, leaving me with cherished memories of my visit to Tochigi Prefecture. 🦁🌸

Clean, professional with nice spa

Hotel is less than 1 minute walk from Utsonomiya Station, very convenient if you’re using Shinkansen. Rooms are small but tidy. Good dining options nearby including excellent coffee shop. Spa on top floor with inside/outside view. Breakfast can be busy at peak times, so plan accordingly.

Strawberries in Utsunomiya

When you go to Tochigi, you should not miss strawberries. They have their own brand of strawberries, Tochiaika. I definitely recommend Skyberry brand too. #Utsunomiya #우츠노미야

Utsunomiya MinMing, the gyoza place

Gyoza is soul food of Utsunomiya. This Utsunomiya MinMin serves very juicy gyoza dishes that go well along with beers. Definitely recommend!#우츠노미야 #Utsunomiya #Utsunomiyagyoza

Great Onsen and Sauna place in Utsunomiya

#freehotelstay #Utsunomiya #우츠노미야 This huge Nandaimon Sauna place is a great onsen place where you can enjoy a full day. Its onsen water is natural onsen and its outdoor onsen is impressive.

Hachimanyama Adventure Park U

#thingstodo My visit here was greeted by the chirping of birds and fowl that seemed to be happy to welcome the presence of visitors. There were almost no visitors when I set foot here. There are only a few people who spend their summer vacation here. As for the facility here, it is quite outdated, causing a thought to arise in my mind. Is this the reason for the lack of visitors? Even so, the suspension bridge that is here is like a jewel hidden in a cave. His existence seems to be hidden from the outside world. However, regret will never dare stop in the mind when it arrives here. Take yourself across this bridge. On the left is a row of world cities that are loaded with rapid modernity while on your right, the greenery of the wilderness amazes every eye that observes!

Mizuhonoshizennomori Park

#thingstodo There is a medium-sized complex playground equipment, and there is also wooden playground equipment a little further away. There is also a grassy area, but the most popular activity in the summer is playing in the water. The long waterway has a place to hang out and is a big hit with children. There is no place to change clothes, so if you are concerned about it, it is convenient to have a one-touch tent. There is a management office, toilets, and vending machines that are well maintained. Please check the website for details on the BBQ facilities and water flushing dates and times.

Utsunomiyashi Forest Park

#thingstodo A park that has the start and finish points of the Japan Cup Cycle Road Race. A short walk away is the BLITZEN cafeteria, which has a must-try menu for road race fans. In autumn, the leaves are beautiful, and the scenery and air from the observation deck are great. Awesome place to visit with friends and family. Nice place for hiking , cycling, camping 🙌

Suijyou Park

#thingstodo This is a new park that opened on August 12, 2021. Parking and bicycle parking available. However, be careful as it is often full during the daytime on holidays. In addition to the regular men's and women's restrooms, there were also multi-purpose restrooms. Of course, drinking water and hand washing facilities are also available. The play equipment is modern and children will be excited just by looking at it. It looks out over the park and is very good for crime prevention. On the other hand, there is less shade. There are several locations with covered tables and chairs. Even though it is a water park, the fountain hours are limited, so it is essential to take precautions against heatstroke. There were a lot of things that looked like health promotion equipment for adults. This is a park that is designed for people of all ages.

Utsunomiya Cultural Forest

#thingstodo A park-like place in a large forest where the Utsunomiya Museum of Art is located. (It's not just that there are playground equipment, but sculptures, etc.) Also, the road leading to this place passed through a residential area, and from there it already had a very nice atmosphere. It was said that this year, the leaves were late in autumn, and it was too hot, so it wasn't very beautiful, but the trees along the street were changing color. It's a place in the forest ahead. If the atmosphere is nice and it's nearby, I'd love to take a walk there.

Akebono Park

#thingstodo This is an urban park adjacent to Utsunomiya City's cultural center and library. There is a lot of greenery, and I like it during the autumn and falling leaves season. There is a splendid pine tree. It's nice for dogs to take a walk. It is a beautiful park with a soothing scenery. ............................................................

Imaizumi Central Park

#thingstodo In summer, some water flows into the artificial stream. The grass is beautiful and wide enough to play Frisbee. There is a course that is perfect for running. There are also some stages. Autumn is filled with the scent of fallen leaves. There's only one ginkgo tree, so it doesn't smell bad. The changes in the maple leaves are beautiful. A good place to feel the four seasons
