【Virtual 47 Prefecture Tour】⁣ ⁣ 6. Gunma 群馬⁣ Today I read a random survey about prefectural tourism appeal ranking by local Japanese people and Gunma was ranked... #47. 😅⁣ ⁣ So this post is my humble act of defense for Gunma. Obscurely located somewhere near but not too near Tokyo in the Kanto region, most people know Gunma only for Kusatsu Onsen (especially if you watched Spirited Away!) but being ranked at the bottom doesn’t mean it’s far from being attractive. ⁣ ⁣ My recent journey to Takasaki #高崎 (which you will pass by en route to Niigata on a Joetsu Shinkansen and it’s only 50 min from Tokyo, by the way), was an eventful surprise. ⁣ ⁣ Photo: ⁣ 1. Lake Haruna (#榛名湖), a caldera so calm you will see two Mt Haruna⁣ 2. Haruna Shrine⁣ (#榛名神社) 3 Which houses a shrine that’s actually built into a... cave of a rock?!⁣ 4. Ikaho Onsen (#伊香保温泉) - Love it. This is the famous stone steps which a weird poem is carved onto⁣ 5. A mysterious little hut decorated with yellow rubber duckies.⁣ I put mine there too and maybe you would too! 6. #cheesieonbridges at Ikaho Onsen just a short walk away from an amazing rotenburo (outdoor bath).⁣ 7. Gunma-chan construction barriers⁣ ⁣ Before you head back Tokyo, remember to fill your tummy up with famous Takasaki soup pasta - especially with vampire-repellent amount of garlic. 🍝🧄🧛🏻‍♀️You can check #cheesieinGunma for it!⁣ ⁣ Which prefecture should we go next?⁣ ⁣ #cheesiein47prefecture

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake ($688 Dinner Set for 2) #HKFVPrinceEdward This dessert is part of the spectacular dinner set at Home Sweet Home, which is quite an obscurely located restaurant in Prince Edward. However, the place is extremely cosy and chill, perfect for a birthday or anniversary celebration. The chocolate molten cake is very delicious and very chocolate-y indeed. The warm molten chocolate complements the equally rich chocolate ice cream very well. The fruits at the side are very fresh too. Beware, though, of the decorative flowers, as they are in fact not edible 🌚 (8/10)

"谋面" It looks like a bookshop cafe but it is actually a noodles shop, obscurely located #China #Shenzhen #food #noodles #lunch #iPhone6Plus
