It's mid-February, and plum blossoms are in full bloom. My friend Chang-san told me that I can enjoy a beautiful plum grove in Tsukigase, Nara Prefecture. The day before, we went to our favorite "Nabari no Yu" to take care of our bodies, which have been a bit tired from work recently. On this day, we stopped by a Japanese sweets shop and bought our favorite mitarashi dango (rice dumplings) at the Nabari no Yu facility. After getting some ingredients for tonight's car camping meal, fresh vegetables, and souvenirs at the direct sales store inside the facility, we had lunch and finally went to the car park. Unlike saunas, I love the car park because you can enjoy it while talking with your partner. Yayoi-san says that saunas feel better, but💦 After enjoying it for about 4 hours, we stopped by a supermarket on the way to the meeting place for the next day to do some shopping. We bought the ingredients we needed and headed to the Tenri Parking Area, where we would be staying overnight. It's been a while since we've had hotpot in the car. We eat seasonal foods that are in season now, and the time passes by with a fun conversation between the couple. Then the day changes and it's the day of the cherry blossom viewing. As expected, it rains ☔️ But even in the rain, the scenery is beautiful in a different way. After enjoying the Tsukigase Plum Grove, we went to Yakitori Hormone Osumi, which is popular for its delicious hormone set meals. The hormone here was a perfect hit for us! ️It's a restaurant that we will definitely return to. Once our stomachs are full, we head to the hot spring ♨️ "Sarubino". The hot spring here is amazing❗️It's a hot spring that you can't move once you soak in it. I see❣️ I soaked in it and it made sense. I couldn't move... The hot spring on the second floor was very lukewarm... I wondered if it would warm me up, but the water was so thick I could stay in it forever... The people around me didn't move either once they got in 😆 Still, I was warm for a long time after getting out of the bath ☺️ This hot spring is a little far from Osaka, but I'll definitely be coming back here again 👏🏻 Finally, I enjoyed the ``Chang Special Ramen'' made by the Chang couple and the ``special coffee'' brewed by the Morimon couple, and headed home very satisfied. #HiaceCampervan #RoadSelect #SleepingInTheCar X Rakutabi (Friends of Raku and Sakura) / rakusakufriend 🔷MORIMON COFEEE is here💁🏻‍♀️ https://x.com/morimoncoffee?s=21&t=hY... 00:00 ♦️Opening 00:25 ♦️Main Story​⁠ 01:35 ♦️Roadside Station Uda Muroo https://satomono.jp/market/29212/16283/ 04:12♦️Shoju (Tabelog) https://tabelog.com/nara/A2904/A29040... 04:52 ♦️Nabari no Yu https://www.nabarinoyu.com/index.php 09:02 ♦️Tenri Parking Area https://www.w-holdings.co.jp/sapa/205... 09:08 ♦️ Meal in the car 17:46 ♦️ MORIMON COFFEE https://x.com/morimoncoffee?s=21&t=hY... 22:57 ♦️ Tsukigase Plum Grove https://tsukigase-kanko.or.jp/ 25:57 ♦️ Yakitori and Hormone Osumi (Tabelog) https://tabelog.com/mie/A2404/A240401... 26:55 ♦️ Sarubino, Oyamada Onsen, Iga Province https://www.sarubino.com/
