Hakone is the location of a noted Shinto shrine, the Hakone Gongen, which is mentioned in Heian period literature. During the Gempei War, Minamoto no Yoritomo prayed at this shrine for victory over his enemies, after his defeat at the Battle of Ishibashiyama, which was is located in neighboring Manazuru. As with the rest of Sagami Province, the area came under the control of the late Hōjō clan of Odawara during the Sengoku period. After the start of the Edo period, Hakone-juku was a post station on the Tōkaidō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto. It was also the site of a major barrier and official checkpoint on the route known as the Hakone Checkpoint (箱根関所 Hakone sekisho), which formed the border of the Kantō region. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, all travellers entering and leaving Edo along the Tōkaidō were stopped here by officials. Their travel permits and baggage were examined to enforce Tokugawa laws that restricted the travel of women and weapons.

15 Things to Do Near Tokyo, Japan - Visiting Yamanashi, Shizuoka & Kanagawa Prefectures
Some of my favorite adventures I had during my 12-day trip to Japan were the ones I had just outside of Tokyo in the Yamanashi, Shizuoka, and Kanagawa Prefectures, and I want to share them with you in this guide to things you can do near Tokyo, Japan!

15 Things to Do Near Tokyo, Japan - Visiting Yamanashi, Shizuoka & Kanagawa Prefectures
Japanese TRAIN FOOD Review - Fish Bento Box + Meiji Jingu Shrine | Tokyo to Yamanashi Prefecture
In January of 2019, I took an amazing trip to Japan. After exploring Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka for a week, I had the unique experience of starting a second leg of the trip that took me to the beautiful prefectures, or states, near Tokyo. What I saw and experienced there blew my mind and I can’t wait to share it with you!
My day started at the Meiji Jingu Shrine, a Shinto shrine in Tokyo. The forest surrounding the shrine isn’t natural; citizens donated the trees here to the emperor to make the grounds beautiful. It was another cold day in Japan, but I couldn’t wait to visit it!
Shinto shrines always have large, imposing torii gates and I came across a massive one on my way up the forest path toward the shrine. It had to have been at least 100 feet tall! There were also 200 sake barrels representing different breweries that gave sake to the shrine. The barrels are beautiful!
Once you pass beneath the torii gate, you’ve entered the sacred area, so you have to bow. You must bow every time you pass beneath a torii gate. The gravel path leading to the shrine actually has a purpose. The soft crunching sound of footsteps on the gravel is said to calm you, so you’ll be completely calm by the time you reach the shrine.
Outside the shrine is a fountain, where you must cleanse yourself before you enter. Take the ladle, dip it into the water, and then rinse your left hand and right hand in that order. Pour some water in your left hand, transfer it to your mouth to cleanse it, and then spit the water into the trough. Then you rinse your left hand again and let the water run down the ladle’s handle to cleanse it as well.
The woodwork at the Meiji Jingu Shrine is stunning. There’s a massive courtyard with the main hall straight ahead. I couldn’t film in the main hall, but inside, you throw a coin, bow twice, clap twice, and then bow again. It was a great experience! There’s also a wall where you can leave your wishes.
From there, we left the shrine and arrived at Takeshita Street in Harajuku, where they serve sweets like giant cotton candy and crepes. Harajuku is the “cute” area of Tokyo, and you’ll find lots of sweets, souvenir shops, clothing stores, and more.
I stopped at Santa Monica Crepes, which serves over 100 different varieties! I went with a whipped crepe with whipped cream and chocolate fudge. It’s a nice, thin crepe with sweet filling. It was so fluffy, fatty, and delicious! It was a little too sweet for me, though!
Our next top was Shinjuku Station, where I got my train ticket (2,570 Yen/$23.19 U.S.) and a pair of bento boxes and an onigiri for my journey!
We boarded our train, the Kaiji Express, which had assigned seating. If you’re traveling with a group, you can turn your seat around to face your friends and there are food and beverage options available to order as well.
My seat was in Premium Economy, right behind the Green Cars. One of my Bento Boxes contained salmon and roe, while the other was tuna a roe. My onigiri contained salmon roe and seaweed. The first Bento Box looked delicious! When you come to Japan, I recommend keeping the boxes as souvenirs.
The tuna was nice, fresh, and raw. I mixed the roe with the rice and tuna. It was such a delicious combination! The roe explodes in your mouth and is so tasty! Having a Bento Box while you travel on the train is such a unique and quintessential Japanese experience that you have to have when you come here!
You can also have open containers of alcohol on public transportation there, so have a beer or a sake with your meal!
Then I went with my salmon roe and seaweed onigiri, which is essentially sushi without the vinegar. It was nice and sticky with a good amount of salmon, and a little spicy! It was a little too much rice!
I followed that with a Japanese craft beer I ordered on the train. It was my favorite beer so far in Japan and was like a red ale!
After an hour ride, we arrived at Otsuki Station in the Yamanashi Prefecture! I’d be spending 3 more days there and couldn’t wait to explore it!
I hope you enjoyed my Meiji Jingu Shrine visit, my brief stop in Harajuku, and my Bento Box review on the ride to Yamanashi Prefecture! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave me a comment, and subscribe to my channel!

Exploring Arima Onsen & Kobe Chinatown|Day 66 - Hyogo
Nankinmachi is a compact chinatown in central Kobe and a center of the Chinese community in the Kansai Region. The area was developed by Chinese merchants who settled near Kobe Port after the port was opened to foreign trade in 1868. As the chinatown developed, it became known as Nankinmachi after Nanjing, the former Chinese capital. Nankinmachi is a popular tourist attraction and shopping and dining district.
Arima Onsen (有馬温泉) is a famous hot spring town within the city limits of Kobe, but on the opposite side of Mount Rokko from the city center. The town lies in a natural mountain setting, yet is close enough for Kobe and Osaka residents as an easy and popular day trip or weekend getaway.

JAPANESE Tofu Hotpot FEAST + Kiyomizu-Dera Temple Tour | Kyoto, Japan
There are few things more magical than exploring a new place and having your mind blown at every turn. That’s exactly what happened during my trip to Japan in January of 2019. I spent 12 amazing days traveling around the island nation and during that time, Japan became one of my all-time favorite destinations. Find out why I love this country so much by following my Japanese travel and food vlog series!
My Film Making Kit ►
On my second and final day in Kyoto, I wanted to explore more of this ancient, historical city and, of course, try more amazing Japanese cuisine! Come along with me as I take you on a fascinating tour of Kiyomizu Dera Temple and then join me for a delicious tofu hotpot lunch!
I started at a very touristy street that was lined with restaurants and souvenir shops, that sold everything from hats to decorative fans to elegant chopsticks! On my way to find some ice cream, I tried some delicious mochis as I made my way through the crowd. I tried a black sesame with honey ice cream cone (300 Yen/$2.69 U.S.). It was nutty and sweet, with a crispy cone and a crunchy cracker on top. It was so good and exactly what I needed!
My next stop was Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a huge Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto that was founded by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro in the year 778 A.D. during the early Heian period, though the buildings that currently stand on the site were built in 1633 by Tokugawa Iemitsu. In addition to being a gorgeous Buddhist temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the 17 Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage sites in and around Kyoto.
No nails were used in the construction of the temple complex, which includes a stunning main hall that contains a large veranda and some of the most amazing woodwork I’ve ever seen in my life, a pagoda, the Otowa-no-taki waterfall, a matchmaking shrine and Torii gate, and more! The temple overlooks Kyoto, so you also get some spectacular views of the city. It costs 400 Yen/$3.59 U.S. to enter the temple, which is such a bargain because there are so many things to see and do there.
Just note that you should probably be in good shape before visiting this temple; getting around it and climbing the stairs is a lot of exercise. I got winded climbing the stairs and I’m in good shape. It was worth it, though. Exploring historical sites is my favorite thing to do when I travel. I can’t get enough of it!
After debating what I wanted to have for lunch, I decided to go for some traditional tofu hotpot at Shimizu-Zyuntadashi-Okabeya. There, I tried their Yudofu tofu hot pot (2,160 Yen/$19.39 U.S.) and cold sake (670 Yen/$6.01 U.S.).
The Yudofu comes with tofu with wasabi, cubed tofu, tea, rice, pickles, ginger, vegetable tempura, fried tofu on a stick, and more. The sake was nice and cold and came in a small container.
The tofu with soy sauce and herbs was light, soft, and spongy, and so delicious! The pickles were great as well, including one that was like a pickled kelp. The vegetable tempura (which included eggplant, shishito peppers, and sweet potato) was very nice and lightly deep-fried with a light batter.
Next, I went with the fried tofu, which had a cheesy marmalade on top. The tofu wasn’t too soft and was pretty thick and extremely tasty, while the wasabi tofu was sweeter with a bit of spice. I also tried another, brownish tofu that was also kind of sweet, with a bit of garlic flavor as well as a really succulent shrimp.
That tofu meal wasn’t very big, but it was extremely filling! The entire meal came to 2,830 Yen/$25.40 U.S.
Then I went in search of some Kyoto coffee while walking along a pedestrian street of souvenir shops and old, traditional homes. I stopped at a cozy coffee shop called Garakuta, where I got a strong and delicious straight black, no-drip coffee, which was exactly what I needed to wake up after an eventful morning and afternoon!
I hope you loved this video of my mind-blowing tofu hotpot feast and visit to Kiyomizu Dera Temple. If you did, please give it a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. Also please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss out on any of my upcoming travel and food videos!
