Originally, it would be smoother to take the route that goes south of Kuwana City little by little, from around Tado Taisha Shrine to around Kuwana Station to around Nagashima Onsen.
RISA
However, on this day, the udon restaurant Kawaichi, which I will introduce later in the article, is a popular restaurant, so I decided to take the waiting time into account.Start from around Kuwana Station, walk around Tado Taisha Shrine, then spend the second half of the day around Nagashima OnsenI went around!

How long did it take you to visit the 10 spots this time?
RISA
A course that can be completed in about 12 hours by private carIt was This course also includes a day trip to the hot springs, so when we got home, the whole family was exhausted, but we went straight to bed and fell asleep!
