Dalam postingan blog ini, saya membagikan pengalaman saya bepergian ke Ogawa di Saitama! Prefektur tetangga Tokyo ini mungkin tampak agak tidak mencolok pada pandangan pertama, tetapi menawarkan banyak aktivitas dan kelezatan kuliner. Postingan ini sangat menarik bagi pecinta alam dan siapa pun yang penasaran tentang pembuatan Washi (kertas tradisional).
Dari Tokyo ke Ogawa
Dengan Mobil
Jika Anda berencana untuk bepergian dengan mobil, perjalanan dari Tokyo ke Ogawa memakan waktu sekitar 1,5 hingga 2 jam. Jadi hampir sama lamanya dengan naik kereta api. Perjalanannya menyenangkan, tetapi ada gerbang tol di sepanjang jalan. Sebaiknya periksa Google Maps terlebih dahulu untuk mengetahui kemungkinan biaya atau gerbang tol. Di Tokyo sendiri, ada banyak tempat di mana Anda dapat menyewa mobil. Karena Ogawa cukup pedesaan, tentu saja memiliki keuntungan bahwa Anda jauh lebih fleksibel dengan mobil di lokasi.
A screenshot of a driving directions search from Tokyo to Ogawa in Saitama Prefecture. The left panel lists three car routes: the fastest takes 1 hr 20 min over 66.1 km via the Kan-Etsu Expressway and is marked with a warning that the route has tolls, while the alternatives run 1 hr 21 min for 67.1 km and 1 hr 33 min for 107 km. A row of icons at the top compares other ways to travel, with transit at 2 hr 8, cycling at 4 hr 44, and walking at 14 hr. On the map itself, a thick blue route line runs northwest out of central Tokyo, passes the Kawagoe area, and ends at a red destination pin in Saitama, with a callout confirming the 1 hr 20 min, 66.1 km trip. A lighter alternate route swings much farther west through Sagamihara before rejoining near Tokyo. Labels for Kawasaki, Yokohama, and the prefectures of Saitama, Tokyo, and Kanagawa give the wider geographic context.

Dengan Kereta Api
Bepergian dari Tokyo ke Ogawa dengan kereta api sangat nyaman dan hanya memakan waktu sekitar 2 jam dengan kereta lokal. Namun, perhatikan bahwa stasiun-stasiun di dan sekitar Ogawa tidak memiliki gerbang. Ini berarti Anda tidak perlu menunjukkan tiket untuk masuk atau keluar dari peron. Sebagai gantinya, Anda akan menemukan mesin di stasiun untuk kartu IC seperti PASMO atau SUICA, yang dapat Anda gunakan untuk membayar perjalanan Anda.
A Google Maps directions screenshot showing train routes from Tokyo to Ogawa in Saitama. The left panel lists four transit options, all leaving in the mid to late afternoon and taking roughly two hours. The fastest suggestion runs from 3:16 PM to 5:17 PM via the Shonan-Shinjuku Line and Tobu-Tojo Line for ¥1,220; the others use combinations of the Keio, Yamanote, Marunouchi, and Tobu-Tojo lines, with the quickest at 1 hour 50 minutes. The map on the right covers the greater Tokyo area and Saitama Prefecture, with city labels for Kawagoe, Saitama, Kawaguchi, and Hachioji. A thick dark blue route line traces the trip northwest from central Tokyo through Ikebukuro and Sakado, ending at a red pin in Ogawa, while a short red segment near Shinjuku Station marks the first stretch of the journey.

Kota Ogawa
Ogawa adalah kota kecil yang menawan di Prefektur Saitama, terletak di lingkungan pedesaan dan tentu saja jauh lebih kecil dan lebih santai daripada Tokyo. Dikelilingi oleh alam dan banyak peluang untuk aktivitas luar ruangan, saya sangat menikmati masa tinggal saya di sini! Di bagian selanjutnya, Anda akan mempelajari semua hal yang bisa dilakukan di Ogawa.
Mengisi Tenaga dengan Udon
Setibanya di Ogawa, kami memutuskan untuk makan di restoran Udon bernama 武州めん 本店 (Bushu Men). Tanpa diduga, saya mendapatkan salah satu Udon terbaik yang pernah saya makan dalam beberapa waktu terakhir di sini! Restoran ini dikenal karena makanannya yang autentik dan kualitas bahan-bahannya. Jika Anda suka makanan Jepang atau sekadar ingin mencoba hidangan Udon yang lezat, saya sangat merekomendasikan restoran 武州めん 本店.

A three-photo collage from a udon restaurant in Ogawa, Saitama. The large photo on the left is the star: a blue-and-white striped ceramic bowl of cold udon piled with toppings, dominated by a tall, lacy golden shrimp tempura standing upright. Around it sit a raw egg yolk, bonito flakes, shredded nori seaweed, grated toppings, and a bright green shiso leaf. The bowl rests on a dark lacquered tray. The top right photo shows the shop itself, a low single-story building with a green Japanese sign over a doorway hung with white noren curtains and two cars parked out front under a blue sky. The bottom right photo shows a laminated menu lying on the wooden table, illustrated with photos of noodle dishes and listing the Nikujiru UDON in three sizes: 300 g for 800 yen, 600 g for 970 yen, and 900 g for 1,090 yen.

Membuat Washi 和紙 (kertas tradisional)
Di Ogawa, kami mengambil kesempatan untuk membuat kertas tradisional Jepang, yang dikenal sebagai 和紙 (Washi). Kertas ini dibuat dari serat khusus yang diekstrak dari kulit pohon Kozo. Serat ini kemudian disaring dengan tangan dan diproses secara tradisional untuk menghasilkan kertas berkualitas tinggi dan tahan lama. Washi digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan, seperti proyek seni, alat tulis, origami, bahkan restorasi dokumen bersejarah. Kertas ini dikenal karena kualitasnya yang tinggi, kekuatannya, dan teksturnya yang unik yang memberikan daya tarik tersendiri. Pembuatan Washi adalah bentuk seni yang telah dikembangkan di Jepang selama berabad-abad dan memiliki makna budaya yang penting.

A six-photo collage captures a visit to a Washi paper workshop in Ogawa, Saitama. The top row shows the single-story workshop building with a noren curtain over its entrance and stone gateposts out front, a man in a blue shirt pulling strips of bark fiber off a long bamboo pole outside, and a pair of hands lifting a rootlike bundle of fiber from a white tub of cloudy water. The bottom row moves inside. Two men raise a bamboo papermaking screen together from a vat, water and pulp streaming beneath it. Next to that, fresh white sheets of paper lie stacked on a large wooden board, with brushes and paddles hanging on the wall above. The last photo shows the shop display: a brown washi handbag with red handles, a pink and yellow cylinder box, colorful paper squares, and small folded paper ornaments arranged on a black tray.

Menginap di Airbnb di Hutan
Sorotan utama dari perjalanan singkat saya adalah menginap di Airbnb di hutan. Akomodasinya adalah kabin kayu yang nyaman yang terletak di tengah alam - tetapi tanpa kenyamanan pendingin udara. Meskipun suhu di luar mencapai 33 derajat dan tidak adanya pendingin udara, pengalamannya unik dan tak terlupakan. Sebagai orang yang sangat menyukai alam, saya sangat menikmati menginap di sini. Anda tidak sering mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menghabiskan malam di tengah alam.
A side-by-side pair of photos showing a cozy wooden cabin stay in Ogawa, Saitama. On the left, a loft-style bedroom with warm pine walls and ceiling, two futons laid out on the wood floor, a small black side table with a clock, a reading lamp, and an electric fan in the foreground. On the right, the cabin's exterior seen from below: a log-style building with a dark shingled roof and a wooden deck and staircase, surrounded by dense green trees and bamboo on a hillside.

Temukan Lebih Banyak Hotel di Ogawa
Tautan Afiliasi: Jika Anda memesan hotel di Booking.com melalui widget atau tautan saya, saya menerima komisi kecil. Tidak ada biaya tambahan untuk Anda, dan Anda mendukung blog saya. Saya sangat berterima kasih dan semoga Anda bersenang-senang saat bepergian (^_^)Mt Sengen Hill View Park
Jika Anda menyukai aktivitas luar ruangan, Mt Sengen Hill View Park (Sengenyama Miharashi no Oka Koen) adalah rekomendasi yang tepat! Taman ini tidak hanya menawarkan pemandangan indah yang menakjubkan atas lanskap Saitama yang cantik, tetapi juga sebuah perosotan. Bermain di perosotan ini sangat menyenangkan dan pastinya menjadi pengalaman untuk anak maupun orang dewasa. Namun, "perjalanan" dengan berjalan kaki pada suhu 33 derajat merupakan tantangan yang sesungguhnya, karena taman ini berjarak sekitar 45 menit berjalan kaki dari stasiun kereta terdekat. Karena saat itu pertengahan September, kami menemukan beberapa pohon kastanye yang sangat besar di sekitar taman.

A five-photo collage from Mt. Sengen Hill View Park in Ogawa, Saitama, mixing temple scenery with small moments from a day out. The top left photo shows a wooden temple gate with a two-tiered tiled roof and a bell hanging beneath the upper story. Stone lanterns stand at the entrance, a willow and a tree with pink blossoms frame the scene, and forested hills rise behind it. In the top right, a dark wooden sign bears the park's Japanese name, 仙元山見晴らしの丘公園, while a long green roller slide snakes down the tree-covered slope in the background. The bottom row captures the visit itself. A rider in dark clothes speeds down that same roller slide as it cuts through a grassy hillside. A hand holds a few glossy brown chestnuts, with spiky green burrs still clustered on the branch behind them. In the last shot, a finger points at a rhinoceros beetle making its way across a concrete path.

Kari di CURRY&NOBLE
Rekomendasi kuliner lainnya dari saya adalah kari di CURRY&NOBLE. Restoran itu sendiri memiliki suasana yang nyaman dan stafnya sangat ramah serta penuh perhatian. Menu menampilkan berbagai jenis kari dan banyak ulasan positif Google benar-benar layak!

A plate of curry is the focus, served on a wide rustic green ceramic dish. The curry itself is a dark, richly spiced keema-style scoop laid over wilted leafy greens, surrounded by three peeled quail eggs, yellow pickles, shredded vegetables, a slice of carrot, pink peppercorns, and a pale scoop flecked with dried herbs. A small white ramekin of golden broth sits at the top of the plate. On the wooden table behind it are drinking glasses, one filled with an amber beverage, and a small price list. The left half of the photo shows the restaurant's wooden wall, covered with handwritten Japanese notes about the spice broth that forms the base of the curry, along with printed menu cards featuring a chicken curry and a pork vindaloo curry. The scene is from a cozy spice curry restaurant in Ogawa, Saitama.

Yakiniku di Yorii
Di kota tetangga Yorii, kami makan Yakiniku yang sangat lezat. Dalam hal ini, itu adalah ikan bakar, yang sangat segar dan rasanya enak sekali dengan nasi. Membakar ikan sendiri adalah pengalaman yang hebat dan unik juga! Jika Anda suka ikan, Anda harus mencobanya.
Two side-by-side shots from the same dinner at a casual izakaya. In the left photo a small tabletop charcoal grill sits on a steel table, its wire rack holding split salt-grilled fish with a second fish beside it. Metal tongs with yellow handles rest in front, and a tall frosted glass of Kirin Ichiban Shibori beer stands next to the grill. A striped ceramic bowl of white rice with wooden chopsticks across it sits in the foreground, alongside small sauce dishes and shredded cabbage. The right photo focuses on the bowl itself: a whole grilled fish, head and tail intact, laid across a mound of white rice. Behind it the edge of another charcoal grill peeks in, with empty plates, leftover fish bones, and chopsticks scattered on the steel table. The wooden walls and stools in the background give the scene a relaxed, well-used restaurant feel.
