Yep. We understand. Wanderlust — it gets right into your bones. So, isn't it high time you organised your next adventure? Wazuka-cho awaits!
From Wazuka-cho, venture around 180 kilometres west to get to the well-known city of Okayama.
A trip to Kizugawa should be at the top of your to-do list. It's located 7 kilometres to the southwest and boasts such well-known sights as Nara Park, the Kofuku-ji Shrine and Kasuga Shrine.
Plan some time to chill out with the sparkling ocean as your backdrop at Nishikinohama Beach Park, 65 kilometres to the southwest.
You don't have to venture too far to find some nice natural sights. Find a set of wheels and head to Akame Shijuhachitaki Falls, 30 kilometres away from Wazuka-cho, for a relaxed day. Or maybe Yoshino-Kumano National Park is more your type of thing? It's situated just 50 kilometres away.
Join passionate fans rooting for the Kyoto Sanga FC at their home of Nishikyogoku Athletic Stadium, 30 kilometres away in Kyoto. Blend in with the locals by getting into the team's colours, purple and white.
Leave a trail of white powder in your wake as you conquer the slopes at Rokkosan Ski Area. Powder hounds should also visit Biwako Valley Ski Resort.
Are you into visiting the Joruri Temple and the Enjo-ji Temple? They're near the middle of Soraku-gun, 3 kilometres to the southeast. Alternatively, travel to Kasagi. It's 5 kilometres to the southeast of Wazuka-cho and regarded for the Gansenji Temple and the Kaijyusenji Temple.
Tourists often make the trip to Ikoma. This destination is 20 kilometres to the southwest and not too far from Iwafune Shrine, the Ryusenji Temple and the Museum Yamato Bunkakan. If you're staying a little while, don't miss the Shohaku Art Museum and Mt. Ikoma.
Credit cards? Check. ID? Check. But have you brought your appetite? With some fabulous food and drink to sample in this destination, it's the one thing you really won't want to travel without.
Are you partial to beef? How about noodles? Whether you're into them or not, they are two popular ingredients regularly used in dishes here.
You don't need to spend all night reading through the menu when you're in Wazuka-cho. Dive straight in and try some of the region's most well-known dishes, such as tempura (deep fried seafood or vegetables) and yudofu (tofu simmered with kelp).
You're on holiday, so why feel guilty for indulging in a little anpan (sweet roll)? It's worth every last calorie!
Time for a drink yet? Toss back a glass or two of Asahi Premium Beer Jukusen, a brew that should be on your bucket (or pint) list.
Neat or on ice — your barkeeper will know the most enjoyable way to drink junmaishu. If your night out needs something a little stronger, you can't beat this tipple!
More experienced travellers tend to put in the effort to memorise a couple of phrases in the local tongue. You'll find that being able to interact with the locals isn't just convenient, it's fun! 'Wakarimasen' can be very useful. It translates to 'I don't understand'. 'Dōmo arigatō' ('thank you') is another one you may need.
Want to join in on the Birthday of Emperor Akihito celebrations? Cross the 23rd of December on your calendar and get ready to kick up your heels!
Like all good things in life, your time here must eventually come to an end. When it's time to pack up your belongings, say "後でお会いしましょう (Atode o ai shimashou)" and spend your remaining holiday allowance on some keepsakes to take home.
If you're travelling by air, it's wise to map your route to the terminal before leaving. From the centre of Wazuka-cho, it's approximately 40 kilometres west to Itami Airport (ITM), the nearest airport.
