- [Takao (Kyoto)](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/takao-kyoto): Kyoto, Attraction. A river valley in the hills northwest of Kyoto where three temples, Jingo-ji, Saimyo-ji and Kozan-ji, stand a short walk apart along the Kiyotaki River. The maples turn in November, inns build dining platforms over the water, and a riverside trail runs down to Kiyotaki.
- [Miyama no Sato](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/miyama-no-sato): Osaka, Market. A farm produce market in Ibaraki City, Osaka, where we tried ¥300 Ryuou miso gelato with a caramel-like first taste and a pleasant miso finish.
- [Jinrui Mina Menrui Tsukemen](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/jinrui-mina-menrui-tsukemen): Osaka, Restaurant. The original shop stopped serving tsukemen, so this is where to get it. The dipping broth arrives in a pot over a flame, so it is still hot at the last mouthful. Noodles are 200g as standard, with 300g and 400g at the same price, though an unfinished 400g is charged 300 yen.
- [Menya Sanda](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/menya-sanda): Kyoto, Restaurant. A ten-seat tsukemen shop in Ukyo-ku, open since 2017, serving thick house-made noodles with a dense chicken dipping soup. It is a 15-minute walk from Hankyu Saiin Station, and there is often a short queue.
- [Taisho Roman-kan](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/taisho-roman-kan): Hyogo, Historic site. Sasayama's old town hall, a pale wooden building from 1923 across from the castle, now selling local food and crafts, with a café and the town's tourist office. Free to enter.
- [Tamba-Sasayama](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/tamba-sasayama): Hyogo, City. A castle town in the hills of eastern Hyogo, about an hour from Osaka: castle walls and a rebuilt palace hall, a samurai street, old merchant houses, and black soybeans in October.
- [Tamba-Sasayama History Museum](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/tamba-sasayama-history-museum): Hyogo, Museum. Sasayama's old courthouse, built in 1891 and used until 1981, now a museum of armour, swords and guns from the domain, with the wooden courtroom kept as it was. ¥500.
- [Anma Family Samurai House](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/anma-family-samurai-house): Hyogo, Historic site. A thatched samurai house on Okachimachi, the street where Sasayama's foot soldiers lived, with its rooms, kitchen and garden as they were. ¥500.
- [Sasayama Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/sasayama-castle): Hyogo, Castle. The stone walls and moats of a castle built in 1609 on Tokugawa Ieyasu's orders, and the Ōshoin, its great hall, rebuilt in 2000. ¥500, or ¥1,000 with three more of the town's history sites.
- [Aoyama Rekishi-mura](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/aoyama-rekishi-mura): Hyogo, Museum. The villa and storehouses of the Aoyama family, lords of Sasayama from 1748 to the Meiji Restoration, now a museum of the domain's books, records and printing blocks. ¥500.
- [Nichinan Coast](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/nichinan-coast): Miyazaki, Attraction. The Nichinan Coast stretches over 100 kilometers along Miyazaki's Pacific shore, famous for its dramatic wave-eroded rock formations known as the Devil's Washboard.
- [Abeno Harukas](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/abeno-harukas): Osaka, Landmark. A 300-meter skyscraper featuring the Harukas 300 observation deck, a department store, art museum, and diverse dining options across its 60 floors.
- [Myoryuji (Ninja Temple)](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/myoryuji-ninja-temple): Ishikawa, Temple. A fascinating temple built with hidden staircases, trap doors, and secret passages as defensive measures against potential attacks on the Maeda clan.
- [Taiyo Park](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/taiyo-park): Hyogo, Attraction. A quirky theme park featuring full-scale replicas of world monuments including a Neuschwanstein-style castle, Moai statues, and Terracotta Warriors.
- [Saihoji (Kokedera)](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/saihoji-kokedera): Kyoto, Temple. A World Heritage Zen temple blanketed in over 120 varieties of moss, creating an ethereal green landscape that requires advance reservation to visit.
