Japan and robots go together like a hotdog and mustard.

The Best Way to Visit Jozankei and Lake Toya from Sapporo: A Private Car Day Trip for Families and Seniors
May and June are the seasons I most highly recommend for a spring trip to Hokkaido. In Sapporo, lilacs come into bloom, and if you venture out into the suburbs, you can also enjoy moss phlox, tulips, and fresh green scenery. The temperatures are also relatively comfortable, making it an ideal season for family trips and travel with senior companions. That said, one thing that can unexpectedly become a burden during a Hokkaido trip at this time of year is transportation. Rental cars can easily become unavailable depending on the season, and quite a few people feel uneasy about driving a right-hand-drive car on the left side of the road. In addition, after the snow melts, road conditions can still be difficult in some places, and in unfamiliar surroundings, that alone can make the trip more tiring. That is why I recommend choosing a private chartered car. Its great appeal is that it reduces the stress of getting around while allowing you to make full use of your limited travel time for sightseeing, which often makes it one of the best investments for a comfortable trip. In this article, I, a Hokkaido-based travel writer, will introduce the access pitfalls I have actually experienced while traveling in Hokkaido, the benefits you can gain from a travel plan using a chartered car, and a recommended day-trip model course from Sapporo by chartered car.

(Hidden Gem in Ibaraki) Ocean-View Torii, Hydrangeas & a Lucky Turtle! A Perfect Day Trip to Sakatsura Isozaki Shrine
Welcome early summer by the sea with hydrangeas in Ibaraki! As temperatures rise and the city hustle continues, how about escaping Tokyo for a refreshing day trip to somewhere scenic? Hop on a train to Ibaraki and head straight for the coast! Every June, hydrangeas bloom across Japan. Tucked away along Ibaraki’s coastline is a breathtaking hidden gem that perfectly blends the “deep blue ocean” with “dreamy hydrangeas." Not only is this a peaceful haven away from the crowds, but it also hosts a summer-limited “Hydrangea Pilgrimage” (Ajisai-moude). Plus, there’s a supposedly super-effective “Lucky Turtle” waiting to boost your wealth! So, let’s step into Sakatsura Isozaki Shrine and explore its magic. Top image credit: LIVE JAPAN Editor Alice

Sannomiya Station Guide: Here's How to Get Around the Maze of Kobe's Train Hub!
Sannomiya Station is your first point of call when traveling to Kobe! With access to various locations via five transportation methods, the JR Line, Hankyu Railway, Hanshin Electric Railway, Kobe Municipal Subway, and Port Liner (Port Island Line), this station is considered the hub of Kobe. It's great that you can move between stations without even going outside via the underground shopping route. However, Sannomiya Station can be complicated, and it can be easy to get lost if you are unfamiliar with the routes. So today, we would like to introduce Sannomiya Station and how to navigate it, including best transfer routes to other railways and how to get to tourist attractions with ease.
