Latest Kuwana hotel reviews
PRhymer Says: These homes were built for a businessman in 1913. One is the traditional Japanese-style, and the other is Victorian-style. They're connected, with gardens behind them. I loved all the tatami in the Japanese-style house. And in the houses you don't wear shoes or even slippers...
taigaa001 Says: Mt. Tado(Tadosan) is one of the popular hiking destinations for Nagoya residents. Just as Mt. Takao in Hachioji, Tokyo, the hill, 403 meters in elevation, has a number of hiking trails for novice hikers. On the foot of the hill stands the Tado Shrine, 1,500 year-old shrine....
Moat and Stone Wall of Kuwana Castle
taigaa001 Says: Near the Banryu Tower and Shichiri-No-Watachi site, you can recognize the former moat and stone walls of Kuwana castle. The landscape of former castle stonewalls and the moored boats is one of the unmistakable views of Kuwana. The stone walls of sannomaru enclosure, as you...
taigaa001 Says: Grassy park located between Kyuka Park and Shichiri-no-Watashi site is just an ordinary park with lawns. It was the site of Sannomaru Enclosure of the Kuwana(Kyuka) Castle. At the southeastern corner of the park facing Kyuka Park, stands the statue of Tadakatsu Honda known...
Kyuka Park(Kuwana Castle Ruins) :Overview
taigaa001 Says: Kyuka Park, formerly a Kyuka(Kuwana) castle is a nice park with historical sites. Base of the Donjon(keep), and some tower bases are some of the things that shows it was once a castle but otherwise it is a nice park with greens. It is home to cormorants as well as turtles...
taigaa001 Says: Kuwana side of now defunct Shichiri-no-Watashi (28-kilometer-long ferry) site is a lot more closer to Hiroshige's work than that of Miya(Atsuta) side. Reconstruction of Banryu Tower in 2003 contributes a lot to that. Torii gate at the kuwana port means it is the first torii...
Funatsuya(Former Kuwana-juku Honjin)
taigaa001 Says: Funatsuya, formerly a Honjin (lodging for feudal lords) of Kuwana-juku, is now a high-class Japanese restaurant. In 2010 it launced a wedding site and opened a restaurant.
taigaa001 Says: Japanese garden of Rokkaen is a typical stroll landscape garden just like those of feudal lords'. It used to have a rose garden designed by Josiah Conder. It used to be a tide garden but it was later reconstructed to as it is today. From the Tsukiyama (Artificial Mountain)...
taigaa001 Says: The cottage of Rokkaen was originally a tea house for inner garden but it was modified in 1938 to build a copper-roofed house with two rooms, one of them was used for Buddist prayer room. The interior of the house was designed by the tea ceremony master Sogo Matsuo.
taigaa001 Says: Storehouse #2 of Rokkaen is a typical of earthen kura, known to be fireproof and highly insulated. This storehouse stored mainly tables and kitchen and dishwares. Earthen kura (Dozo) is framed in woods and plastered with clay. It keeps the temperature stable throughout the...
Perky Jean: The best burgers in Japan!
asantetravel Says: With it's 50s decor and large collection of records & CDs, it's a great place to hang out with friends and get a good burger. The owner/cook speaks some English and everyone is very friendly. Depending on my mood, either the bacon and cheese or acado burger.
Ninikuya (The Garlic Restaurant): Betsu bara (always room for dessert)
asantetravel Says: As the name implies about 90% of the dishes contain garlic! I was not a fan of garlic until I ate here. Best of all everything is good. It's best to go with a bunch of friends and have each person choose two items then feast on the fabulous food. As full as you may be, make...
asantetravel Says: This great okonomiyaki restaurant combines two of my most favorite pleasures, food and music. There are lots of young people here, and the decor is Jamaican downstairs and African upstairs. It's a great place to listen to music, eat the best okonomiyaki (outside of...
taigaa001 Says: Take Kintetsu line from Osaka to Kuwana. First you have to get to Tsuruhashi station and change trains for Kintetsu line. Take an express train bound for Ujiyamada and change trains at Isenakagawa and take the express train bound for Nagoya. Train charge is 2,240 yen for...
From Kyoto to Kuwana(For low budget travel)
taigaa001 Says: From Kyoto you can change the trains wisely and get to Kuwana with the train fare of 1,890 yen about one third of that if you use Shinkansen Bullet train to Nagoya and take Kansai train. It takes about three hours by local train so budget saving trip needs time and you will...
taigaa001 Says: One thing I do not like about Kuwana is its station area. I do not feel comfortable about its deserted look. Hamamatsu until recently used to be that way, Kuwana city officials should seriously learn from Hamamatsu on urban planning and designing. It's really poorly...
taigaa001 Says: After I started walking from Kuwana station the first place I visited was Kitakuwana Shrine. It is a small shrine and is located along Tadokaido, an ancient highway between Shichiri-no-Watashi port and Tado Shrine. The shrine was originally built at the site where the...
asantetravel Says: You definitely can't say that Kuwana doesn't have flavor! This is the Den of Vice, a hip-hop clothing store on the main road, route 1. You can meet some interesting characters around here. One of the few places in Kuwana with grafitti.
taigaa001 Says: From Shichiri-no-Watashi site you can see the views of Ibi and Nagara rivers seperated only by 100-meter-wide midstream bars. The river closer from the bar is Ibi river and the river beyond the bar is Nagara river.
Tree Stump of one of the River-dividing Pines
taigaa001 Says: This tree stump was donated to Kaizoji temple to show gratitude for Satsuma Domain samurai soldiers who sacrificed their lives and wealth for taming runaway riverflows of Kiso, Nagara and Ibi rivers. The pine tree used to be one of the largest in pine grove that divides the...
