Mos Burger's New Green Burger Is for Everyone! And It's Been Decades in the Making The Green Burger is the newest big thing from Japanese hamburger chain Mos Burger, and it's likely to win the hearts of anybody who likes a good bite to eat! Which is why the JAPANKURU team had to find out more about this plant-based burger!
The Gorgeous Old Kominka Homes & Other Charms of Matsumoto City's Shiga Area Kominka houses are the beautiful, old-fashioned Japanese homes that many travelers imagine when they think of Japanese architecture. They often have tatami mat floors or thatched roofs, and long, sturdy beams that run across the length of the house, holding up the roof with the power of one long-felled tree. Kominka are wonderful examples of the cultural treasures produced and preserved by hundreds of years of Japanese history, but most modern citizens tend to go for modern architecture and newly built houses these days, which means that there are fewer and fewer of these old-fashioned homes around every year. That's why it was such a treat for the JAPANKURU team to travel to Matsumoto City in Nagano this fall, and spend a few days engaging in some agritourism and exploring all the charming nooks and crannies of the picturesque kominka being restored and utilized in the city's Shiga area.
A Kyoto Gallery and a Modern Hotel, All in One! Oriental Hotel Kyoto Gallery On a historic Kyoto avenue and about as close to the subway station as you can get, this brand new Kyoto hotel combines traditional influences with a modern sense of style. Start the morning in a sleek new room, enter the lobby for a unique Kyoto breakfast buffet and some cultural displays, then head out of the hotel to find yourself surrounded by Japanese artisans and boutiques, and walk just minutes to arrive at Kiyomizudera Temple and some of Kyoto's other beautiful sights. (Or hop right on the subway from Kiyomizu Gojo Station to get to the Fushimi Inari Shrine in no time!) Oriental Hotel Kyoto Gallery is a great choice for travelers looking for simple, clean accommodations and a spark of Kyoto charm.
Shopping for the Winter, and Outdoor Adventures, at Arc'teryx in Fukuoka Far too many travelers visit Japan and only make it to Tokyo and Kansai, totally missing out on the fun of the country's farther reaches. But a trip to Fukuoka, found on the Japanese island of Kyushu, is not only a great place to slurp up some Hakata ramen and hear a unique new dialect of Japanese, it's also a great place for some outdoor gear shopping. Head to the Arc'teryx in the MARK IS Momochi shopping mall for a winter shopping trip in Fukuoka during your next visit to Japan, and you'll understand why.
A Cool-Weather Excursion to Toyota City: Cherry Blossoms & Red Leaves Glorious autumn leaves, crisp breezes, and pink petals floating in the wind... the city of Toyota in Aichi Prefecture might bring to mind automobiles for many, but when summer ends and the weather turns cool and comfortable, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better fall destination (for a number of reasons). This city has some gorgeous views to offer, including cherry blossoms... in autumn! (A true rarity.) And the lush fall foliage of the famous Korankei Gorge spreads across the skyline, illuminated from below after sunset. Whether you're interested in cars or not, there's plenty of things to do in Toyota City!
