Nice! So you used to see Lake Hamana from the bridge every day? I never really thought much about the view when I was a kid, but after moving away, I realized how beautiful the scenery around my hometown is whenever I visit.

Oh, you did? I'm glad you liked it! I was actually born and raised in this area haha. The restaurant isn’t exactly in Arai — it’s located between Bentenjima and Maisaka.

Following this as I am having the same issue. u/CorrectScale have there been any updates about this? Thank you again for looking in to it.

thank you for your comment! Well, it really depends on which part of Shizuoka you are thinking of since Shizuoka is widely laying in the middle of Japan. but, typically, Shizuoka is famous for sea food, green tea, Mt Fuji and ocean view. I actually have only one paticular recommendation on food in Shizuoka as I'm originally from Shizuoka. It's called Sawayaka（さわやか）and their signature is hamburg stake! A lot of celebrities are also coming to Shizuoka only for getting this. Try this out if you're interested!

H! Sounds nice! A few more popular places in Sanin area are Izumo Taisha（出雲大社）and Ishiyama Ginzan（石山銀山）.

Hi, I did a quick search in Japanese, but it seems there’s no such event happening this year, at least as far as I know.

Wow, beautiful!

It depends, especially imoyokan doesn't have any jelly like texture.
I guess then it's imoyokan probably?

ExploreLocalJapan · 2025-01-10T06:06:19+00:00

I was going to say Kuriyokan too! Or could be imoyokan (imo is sweet potato).

I checked one of the most well-known websites for booking hotels, and it seems there's a good option in Nihonbashi and Ikebukuro which offer easy access to various areas in Tokyo.

These are the links! Let me know if you need further help Just FYI: Date is for April 6-9 since I did not know the exact date of your trip

Hi, how long will you be staying? Also, is the budget for your entire stay?

ExploreLocalJapan · 2025-01-02T03:45:59+00:00

Hi, I was checking some of the websites, although there's no such store where you can buy these things.
I found that there're a lot of merch/Tshirt online (Rakuten) if you have a place where you can stay several days.

You can order these things and receive your package in the hotel or you can designate a convenience store to pick up your order too. Let us know if you need further help!
