To be honest, I regretted it as soon as I came back from Awaji Island!
I regret not bringing a 256G stomach and a power bank😭
This hidden island 1.5 hours away from Osaka hides healing scenes that even Hayao Miyazaki can't draw
But 90% of tourists only go to popular check-in spots!
Today I will reveal the amazing gameplay + lightning avoidance secrets I found after 2 days of running wild 👇
💡Actual test: Don’t crowd the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge Observation Deck anymore!
The locals secretly told me that Awaji City Park is the best place to enjoy the night view🌌
180-degree unobstructed viewing platform + the only star telescope on the island
Witness the moment when Ginga fell into the Naruto whirlpool
I took the same silhouette photo of my sister in "The Stars" on the spot🎬
🔥Hidden experience that subverts cognition
1️⃣ Fisherman’s late night restaurant
The uncle who returned from the fishing boat went into the alley
Found a sea teras without a sign
Freshly caught and killed Awaji onion baked lobster🦞
A delicious taste that subverts your perception! Only 3000 yen per person
(⚠️Note: Closed on Wednesdays + Cash only)
2️⃣The secret art world that no one has ever written about
I accidentally wandered into the ceramic forest of Awaji Island and almost couldn't get out!
13 ceramic installations hidden in the pine forest
You can actually get into a 3-meter-high teapot to listen to the sound of the sea🍵
Gradient glaze tea cups fired in the handmade experience area
After I brought it back home, my bestie asked me to connect with her...
3️⃣ Pink highway exclusive to cherry blossom season
Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Island Park, a place only locals know about
There is no one in the 3km cherry blossom tunnel❗️
When the wind blows, the falling cherry blossoms at a speed of five centimeters per second drift into the Seto Inland Sea.
(📸Best photo location: the second bench at the east exit)
🚫Lightning warning
×Don’t go to Awaji Farm Park in the afternoon!
The tour buses gather after 2pm, and you have to queue for more than an hour if you want to take a photo with the alpacas
√ Go at 9 am to catch the limited edition Sakura Yokan DIY
×Carefully select popular sea view homestay あわじ
The soundproofing is so poor that you can hear the snoring next door, and there are mold spots in the bathroom
√ Highly recommend the Kaion traditional townhouse, the owner will take you to catch the sea
💡Traffic blood and tears lesson
❶ Take the high-speed ferry instead of the JR when departing from Osaka!
Umeda → Sumoto Port direct 65 minutes (about 1 hour saved)
❷The bus on the island runs once every hour! Download Awaji Island Navi real-time search
❸It is better to rent an electric bike than a car (many small roads are inaccessible to cars)
📍Private check-in point navigation
Beautiful night view: Awaji City Park Observatory (search mapcode: 49 358 023)
Lobster Restaurant: 154-3 Ono, Sumoto City (recognize the blue fishing net curtain)
Secret Place of Ceramics: 2428 Kusumoto, Awaji City (closed on Wednesdays)
This healing island that has not been fully commercialized
It's worth walking slowly and savoring it carefully❤️
