Ashikaga 1-Day Tour #1: Ashikagashi Station to Orihime Shrine & Banna-ji Entry

Thank you very much for watching! Back on flat ground, there's a bus stop nearby called Tori 5-chome(通五丁目). Depending on the day, buses run once or twice an hour between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Since I'll walk a lot at other sights, I decided to take the bus for just two stops to save my energy. The bus was scheduled for 9:44 AM, but it was quite delayed. Getting on and off takes time, but that's part of the travel experience. Bus fares in Ashikaga are a flat 210 yen regardless of distance, payable in cash only. Multi-trip tickets are also available. I took this route and got off two stops later at Dainichi Seimon, right near Banna-ji Temple. On this day, the high temperature exceeded 35 degrees Celsius, making it extremely hot! So, I'll rest in the park for a bit before exploring Banna-ji Temple. After this, I'll visit Banna-ji Temple, the area around Ashikaga Gakko, and Ashikaga Flower Park all in one day. It's extremely convenient that you can visit so many spots in Ashikaga in a single day. Plus, taking the Tobu Limited Express gets you here from Kitasenju in just about one hour! The Ryomo area, including Ashikaga, Ota, and Tatebayashi, is even closer than Nikko. Why not visit for a trip sometime? I'll share the rest of today's tour in upcoming videos. 0:00 From Ashikagashi Station to Orihime Shrine (足利市駅から織姫神社) 20:03 Hiking up the Mountain (山登り) 26:30 Summit Stroll (山頂散歩) 37:55 Going down the Mountain (下山) 44:30 Heading to Tori 5-chome Bus Stop (バス停「通五丁目」へ) 47:09 Scenery from the Bus (バスからの景色) 48:36 Pressing the Stop Button (降車のためにボタンを押す) 48:58 Arrival at Banna-ji Temple (鑁阿寺到着)
