The best Ryokan in Japan (Ryokan = traditional Japanese inn) 旅館での素敵なひと時
Of course, best is purely subjective.
僕たちが考える”ベスト”な旅館で～す！
To celebrate a bunch of things (late birthday, new job, success with YouTube/book sales), Ryosuke and I went to a gorgeous traditional Ryokan in Tochigi, Shimofujiya.
いつも仕事頑張ってるグレイスのためにも温泉で有名な那須塩原にある「やまの宿 下藤屋」さんの旅館に行ってきたよ～！

下藤屋の皆様のご協力のおかげで、最高の思い出と動画が出来たよ〜！
We heard about this place through a good friend and yeah, it lived up to the hype.
友達に勧められて行ったら、もう「感動」の一言！
Ryokan have been closing down all over Japan - because of the declining birth rate, the fact that people are leaving the countryside in favor of large cities, and lower household finances.
最近日本では人口減少によって廃業する旅館が増えてるらしいので、なるべく早めに旅館に行こうと思ったのがきっかけなんだ！
I wanted to make sure I we had the chance to see one, before most of the historic and authentic places close down.

Kan'ei-ji
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tōeizan Kan'ei-ji Endon-in (東叡山寛永寺円頓院) (also spelled Kan'eiji or Kaneiji) is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Japan, founded in 1625 by Tenkai. The main object of worship is Yakushirurikō Nyorai (薬師瑠璃光如来). Because it was one of the two Tokugawa bodaiji (funeral temple; the other was Zōjō-ji) and because it was destroyed in the closing days of the war that put an end to the Tokugawa shogunate, its name is inextricably linked to that of the Tokugawa shoguns. Named after the Kan'ei era during which it was erected, this great complex used to occupy the entire heights north and east of Shinobazu Pond and the plains where Ueno Station now stands. It used to have immense wealth, power and prestige, and it consisted of over 30 buildings. Of the 15 Tokugawa shōguns, six are buried here. The Shinobazu Pond itself and the Bentendō temple which stands on its island used to be an integral part of Kan'eiji. Tenkai, liking Lake Biwa, had Benten Island built in imitation of Chikubushima, and then the Bentendō on it. At the time the island was accessible only by boat, but later a stone bridge was added on the east, making it possible to walk to it. The temple was destroyed during World War II, and the present one is a reconstruction.
The temple and its numerous annexes were almost completely destroyed during the Boshin War's Battle of Ueno and never restored. The site where it once stood was confiscated and is presently occupied by Ueno Park. What is today the temple's main hall was taken from Kita-in in Kawagoe (Saitama Prefecture) and transferred to the site of a former Kan'ei-ji subtemple.
Many temple structures had already been destroyed in the great Mereiki fire of 1657. A new hall was constructed inside the enclosure of Kan'ei-ji in 1698.
Kan'ei-ji's five-story pagoda (photo above) and the Tōshō-gū shrine were amongst the gems of the old temple enclosure. Both stand undisturbed by the passage of years since the end of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Ueno Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ueno Park (上野公園 Ueno Kōen) is a spacious public park in the Ueno district of Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. The park was established in 1873 on lands formerly belonging to the temple of Kan'ei-ji. Amongst the country's first public parks, it was founded following the western example as part of the borrowing and assimilation of international practices that characterizes the early Meiji period. The home of a number of major museums, Ueno Park is also celebrated in spring for its cherry blossoms and hanami. In recent times the park and its attractions have drawn over ten million visitors a year, making it Japan's most popular city park.

Entry from: Futagawa, Japan
Entry Title: Old Tokaido Route
Entry:
In Edo Period of Japan, there were five major routes originating at Nihonbashi called the Edo Five Routes. The most prosperous one was Tokaido Route connecting Edo (Tokyo) to Kamikata (Kyoto) with 53 post towns, or to Osaka with 57 post towns. When I was a university student, I lived in Tokyo, but my hometown was in Nagoya suburb located in the middle of Tokaido Route. So I have gone and returned from Nagoya on Tokaido many times. That's why I am more familiar with Tokaido than the other routes, although the present Tokaido is a little bit different from the Old Tokaido. Anyway, I have heard a lot of retired seniors try a Tokaido hike from Nihonbashi to Kyoto or Osaka these days. It also inspired me to try some of the post towns of Old Tokaido. Actually, last week, I visited Arai Post Town, 31st stage of Tokaido and blogged about it. This time, I have gone to 33rd Futagawa, 35th Goyu, and 36th Akasaka Post Town. I thought I should have visited Futagawa at first, because it had a good museum, Futagawa Honjin Museum, displaying some travel goods, showing how travels were in Edo Period, and explaining the functions of Edo Five Routes and post towns. Thanks to the museum, I was able to the outline of Old Tokaido Route travels. The museum had two annexes, Hatago Seimeiya Inn and Futagawa Honjin Inn. The latter one was originally built in 1807 and renovated many times. Because it is a museum, not a ruin, most parts are apparently new. The museum was in Futagawa which was one stop away from Toyohashi (Old Yoshida, next post town), but I knew there was nothing to see in Toyohashi. So I took a train to Ko and walked to Goyu Post Town, which was famous for a pine tree avenue. The pine trees were originally planted about 400 years ago to protect the travellers and the part of Tokaido Route. It was supposed to be a nostalgic anvenue, but a lot of cars and no hikers were passing by. Near the Shin-Goyu Bridge, the Pine Tree Avenue Museum had a 380 year old pine tree stump in its front, although it was already closed at four. Anyway, the distance between Goyu and Akasaka is 1.7km, although the average interval of Tokaido Post Towns was 8.8km. It was a very easy walk. The aim to visit Akasaka was to drop by Hatago Ohashiya Inn and, actually, there was nothing else to see. The inn was established in 1649 and the innate original part of the building was almost 300 years old. Interestingly, you can stay in the inn even now. The rumor had it that Meiji Emperor and Matsuo Basho, a poet in Edo Period, had stayed there. So it is popular among senior travelers of Old Tokaido Route. It was still open to public even at half past five in the evening and I could enter. The landlady gave me some information and allowed me to see inside of the inn, although I paid a small donation. As a matter of course, it would have been a better experience, if I had stayed there. Additional Note I also visited Miya Post Town, 41st of the Old Tokaido Route, but nothing special to see there but a restored ferry port. The post town had the largest number of inns of the Old Tokaido Route, which had originally a ferry port to travel to Kuwana, 42nd post town. Now the ferry port was a small park with a drum tower and night-light. The ferry port is called 7ri Ferry Port, because the distance between Miya and Kuwana was 7ri (28km) and it was the hardest part of Tokaido travel in Edo period. Actually, I found a new ferry port, but I was not sure if it was available. So I stayed there only 10 minutes and left. By the way, a lot of seniors enjoy walking along the Old Tokaido Route so that they can feel the same way as the travellers in Edo Period. If I had also walked, the park would have given me a good relaxation. By the way, ...
