2026 Machida Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

This winter, let me take you on a snowy romantic encounter in Hokkaido❄️ From Kutchan Town to Machida City, a journey across Hokkaido's stunning snowy landscapes that I must share with you! 🌟Trip Highlights: - Stay at the stunning mountaintop hotel by Lake Toya, The Windsor Hotel Toya Resort & Spa, with a 270-degree lake view - The ultimate experience of soaking in hot springs in the snow - The warm small-town atmosphere of Minami Machida - The breathtaking mountaintop observation deck "Kōchōsō" DAY 1: Dreamy Lake Toya Journey 📍The Windsor Hotel Toya Resort & Spa This top-tier resort hotel located on the shores of Lake Toya is definitely worth a special visit! Be sure to book a lake view room so you can open the curtains in the morning to a breathtaking lake view. The hotel features top-notch hot spring facilities; I highly recommend experiencing the outdoor hot spring in winter—soaking while watching the snowy scenery is pure bliss. The hotel breakfast is also excellent, allowing you to enjoy the lake and mountain views while dining. DAY 2: Explore Kōchōsō 📍Mountaintop Kōchōsō Address: 299-8 Mizuho, Kutchan Town Set off early to the spectacular vantage point "Kōchōsō" in Kutchan Town, an excellent spot to admire Mount Yotei and Hokkaido’s snowy plains. Remember to wear slip-resistant boots and be cautious when hiking in winter. Once you reach the summit, the 360-degree panoramic view dusted with snowflakes will make all the effort worthwhile! For photos, it’s recommended to wear light-colored clothing to stand out against the pure white snow. DAY 3: Warm Moments in Minami Machida 📍Minami Machida The final stop is the cozy small town of Minami Machida, truly a "downtown food paradise." I recommend trying the local specialty "Machida-yaki" and warm oden 🍢. The city center is small but rich in everyday life atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely stroll to experience the daily life of Hokkaido locals. ✨Practical Tips: - Check road conditions in advance when traveling in winter - It’s recommended to book hotels 2 months ahead - Hokkaido’s winter temperature varies greatly, so layering clothes is very important - JR PASS is very suitable for this kind of long-distance itinerary

#trip The perfect choice for family outings Children learn a lot about creativity, emotional expression, and cultural inspiration in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Here are a few key areas they can learn: 🧠 1. Creativity and Imagination Inspiration Through the stories of characters like Snoopy and Charlie Brown, children can understand how cartoons evolved from simple lines into a world of emotions. The exhibition introduces the creative process of Charles Schulz, the original creator of "Peanuts," allowing children to learn about perseverance and the source of creativity. 💬 2. Emotional Education and Interpersonal Understanding The "Peanuts" comic strip depicts themes such as friendship, loneliness, courage, and dreams. Children can learn how to express emotions and understand others' feelings. Charlie Brown's failures and resurgences, and Snoopy's confidence and imagination, can help children learn to face setbacks and maintain a sense of humor. 🌏 3. Cross-Cultural Learning and English Enlightenment Museum exhibitions are mostly presented in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Through the comic dialogues, children can naturally learn English and learn simple everyday sentence patterns. Understanding "Peanuts" as a part of American culture fosters a global perspective and cultural understanding. 🎨 4. Cultivating a Sense of Aesthetics and Design The exhibition space features a simple design, rich with light, shadow, and line art, allowing children to appreciate the colors, composition, and aesthetics of the exhibition. The intricately designed merchandise in the shop and cafe also allows children to learn about character design and brand culture. At the Snoopy Museum, children learn more than just the story of the cartoon character; they also receive a comprehensive educational experience encompassing creativity, emotions, and culture. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and artistic, perfect for families to explore this charming, creative corner of the city together. @trip.com_tw Download the Trip.com app and search for "Family Travel" on the homepage.

Help! I’ve discovered a treasure onsen hotel near Tokyo! The town of Yugawara is just a 1.5-hour drive from Tokyo, and its secret spot vibe is off the charts, with so few foreign tourists it feels like a private hideaway 🤫! This Japanese-style onsen hotel is truly a paradise for the taste buds! The one-night, two-meal plan features exquisite kaiseki cuisine, and even breakfast is a highly ceremonial experience 🥢! Staying three nights in a row, the dishes never repeat. Dinner is a full 10-course meal, with sashimi, tempura, chawanmushi, all perfect, and portions so generous you’ll need support to stand! They even serve a warm little sushi snack at midnight. The butler carefully introduces each dish in Japanese, making the whole experience feel incredibly special! The onsen is completely natural! You can choose between a large bath or a small bath, and if you book the small bath in advance through the butler, you get to enjoy a private hot spring room. Soaking in the morning and evening while admiring the mountain forest views instantly wipes away all fatigue ♨️! The hotel also provides beautiful yukata for free, so you can stroll the garden in style and take photos that look like scenes from a Japanese film~ Escape the crowds and noise to enjoy a quiet, relaxing holiday—this hotel is definitely the top choice near Tokyo! Sisters wanting to experience an authentic Japanese onsen trip, hurry and book this place! #TokyoAreaTravel #YugawaraOnsen #KaisekiCuisineAtItsBest #HiddenOnsenHotel

We will introduce the Snoopy Museum in Granberry Park in Minamimachida 🐶 A must-see for Snoopy fans! Only one stop on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line from Shibuya! The Snoopy Museum is adjacent to Granberry Park, which has an outlet mall and a movie theater! A large Snoopy monument, a yellow room, and walls with lots of Snoopy. The scenery is so photogenic ✋ The Snoopy Museum is also a lot of fun, but Grandberry Park also has an all-you-can-eat KFC restaurant! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It was so popular that we had to wait 60 minutes! It's a first pass system, so you can go out and look around the outlet mall in the meantime, which is also good👍 All-you-can-eat KFC is a joy! I was so full I was in pain! There are also many other fun shops, such as second-hand clothing stores, toy stores, outlet malls, and movie theaters! Why not spend the whole day at the Snoopy Museum and Granberry Park? #Grandberry Park #Snoopy Museum

The Snoopy Museum is located in Machida City near Tokyo. It is very convenient to get there by subway. It is definitely one of the must-see attractions for Snoopy fans. The whole tour takes about half a day, and the round-trip journey takes about 3 hours. It is recommended to book tickets online, which will be ¥200 cheaper than buying them on site. The museum is divided into three floors, and you can tour it from top to bottom. The 3F is a permanent exhibition, which displays many manuscripts about the origin of Snoopy and his relationship with the author. The 2nd floor is a planned exhibition, which changes every six months; the 1st floor is a peripheral store, where many products are on sale, which are very cute and will definitely be a great purchase for Snoopy fans. However, I was quite disappointed with the restaurant because there was no Snoopy element on the food, not even any small Snoopy flags. The only thing I recommend is buying Snoopy ice cream at the cashier counter in the restaurant. Generally speaking, it is a very suitable place to relax and visit the Snoopy Museum. You don't have to use your brain the whole time and it's fun. There aren't many children there, basically all of them are adults like us! It’s also perfect for checking in and taking photos. Although the lighting inside is a bit dim, the scenery is very cute! There are shopping malls and shops around, as well as outdoor fashion brands, which are also suitable for killing time and shopping. The prices are basically cheaper than in the city. 📍Tsuruma 3-chome 1-4, Machida City, Tokyo 🕐10:00-18:00 #日本景点#国外旅游 #travel #日本旅行 #日本旅行 #日本

#tripmemory2022 I went to see the guinea pig parade at Machida Squirrel Garden! The guinea pigs were marching back to their rooms before the zoo closed🐹 They were so cute that my son, who loves Molcars, was very excited! It was very popular and crowded even just before closing. There was also a guinea pig feeding area and a guinea pig petting area. It was a fun day enjoying my favorite guinea pigs after taking a class on guinea pigs🤎 ~~~Address~~~ 1-733-1 Yakushidai, Machida, Tokyo #Machida #Machida Squirrel Garden #Petting Zoo #Zoo #Tokyo

The staff members who explain various things in a fun and interesting way, saying "Let's go viral for the squirrels!", are also recommended points. ~~~Address~~~ 1-733-1 Yakushidai, Machida City, Tokyo 195-0073 #Tokyo #Machida Squirrel Garden #Zoo #Machida City

Pay a visit to one of Machida's shrine. As you enter the shrine, wash your hands from the well. Pay respect in front of the shrine by bowing three times and clapping your hands twice. You can make a wish as well. You can write your intentions and wishes on a block of wood or a piece of paper. You can also take pictures, camera tripods are available for use.

This was my first time at Round One Machida! I was impressed by how clean the place was overall. The staff were very friendly and I'd like to go again. Also, even within the same Round One store, the atmosphere is different depending on the store, so that's another interesting thing! Please come to your nearest Round One store! ️ #karaoke #RoundOne

The cake was delicious and the space was very stylish. The sofa was also fluffy!! And to pay, you just brought the number key you were given!! How stylish🗝 #food #cafe #halloween #cake #doutor #doutorcoffeefarm

[Access] 5-minute walk from Minamimachida Granberry Park Station on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line, inside Granberry Park [Attractions] ~Delicious fruit smoothies!~ I ordered a mixed fruit and strawberry x blueberry smoothie. The fresh fruit and cream were a nice accent and it was delicious. The glass was big so it was filling. The peperoncino and sandwiches were also filling and delicious. I think being able to choose between indoor and terrace seating is a big plus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
