  • This ropeway is awesome! When you reach the final Nishi-Hotakaguchi Station, you get to enjoy an absolutely stunning panoramic view. Totally worth it!

  • I sat outside and admired the building's exterior—it's a classic example of Tadao Ando's signature exposed concrete style. I've always loved the look of exposed concrete: simple, understated, and elegant. The architecture alone makes it worth a visit!

  • The first time I tried these cookies was when my family brought them back from Japan. I was blown away! Ever since then, I always make sure to buy them as souvenirs when I visit Japan—you’ll fall in love with them too!

  • Walking into the shop, I was surprised and excited because it's just so beautiful. The warm lighting, European-style tables and chairs, and the thick, soft cushions create a unique blend of Western and Japanese styles that I’ve never seen before. I couldn’t help but walk around and check out the decor in detail. Definitely worth coming here for coffee!

  • Amazing service and beautifully presented Japanese cuisine with an artistic touch. Each room has its own private hot spring bath where you can enjoy views of the river. Although it’s not cheap and a bit tricky to get to, staying here makes it all worthwhile!

  • You definitely need to book early to stay here. Winter is the best time to visit—just soaking in the hot spring makes you feel like you’re in a world of your own. The meals are average, but the scenery is beautiful. The hot spring water is a lovely milky white, and my favorite is the outdoor women’s bath!

  • This izakaya is full of Nebuta Festival vibes in its decor, really showing off Aomori’s character. With local dishes and ingredients, you’ll fall in love with it on your first visit!

  • The whole building is designed to be super comfortable. There are plenty of seats in the outdoor courtyard where you can relax in the sun. There are lots of cafes on the 2nd floor and restaurants on the 3rd. If you’re here, it’s definitely worth checking out!

  • I really learned a lot here. Visiting this museum helped me understand that there are actually indigenous Ainu people in Hokkaido, Japan. It's great to get a deeper look into the history and culture of the Ainu people.

  • Locals in Kitakata usually have ramen for breakfast or lunch, but rarely for dinner. So if you want to try ramen, make sure to go early!

  • This tofu is so soft and has an amazing texture. It just melts in your mouth. Even without soy sauce, it tastes fantastic on its own.

  • Taking the ropeway gives you stunning views of the mountains, sea, and sky from above. It's really beautiful!

  • This place is always packed with people—it's super popular! The island pork here is awesome, really tender and delicious!

  • We really loved the decor here—so many creative design touches! Plus, it's super convenient to get to the beach!

  • The shops at ASHIBINAA are all close together, and there are plenty of seats and spaces to rest, so you don't have to worry about getting tired feet!

  • If you love thrills and challenges, you'll definitely enjoy these world-class roller coasters. They'll make your legs shake for sure!

  • I really love the design and educational value of this toy. It's perfect for kids! Plus, it's way cheaper than in Taiwan, so of course I had to buy it!

  • Every window is like a beautiful painting. Watching Mt. Fuji at different times of day, with all its changing scenery, was so relaxing and enjoyable. I’ll definitely come back!

  • These crispy cookies are made with a mix of grains and filled with white chocolate. The texture is so good, I couldn't stop eating them! They go perfectly with tea or coffee—just the right kind of treat!

  • When you reach the top floor and look down, you can see the whole bay and the city streets. It's really beautiful!

  • The Hida beef totally lives up to its reputation. The marbling is perfect, and the meat is so tender and juicy. Every bite is pure happiness—premium beef really is on another level!

  • You can get this in Taiwan, but it's way cheaper in Japan, so of course I stocked up! If you use digital devices a lot, this is a must-have!

  • The premium beef for the shabu-shabu was fantastic. You can really taste the difference!

  • The location is super convenient, service is top-notch, and the amenities and room space are excellent. Highly recommended!

  • We bought sushi and fruit to eat back at the hotel. There were so many options and everything was super fresh. Highly recommend!

  • This soup curry place is pretty tasty and the prices are reasonable. They have pork, chicken, lamb, and more, plus lots of veggies in the curry. The flavors really soak in!

  • Spring is hands down the best season to visit Matsumoto Castle. You get the snowy Japanese Alps in the distance and cherry blossoms everywhere nearby. How could this view not be stunning?

  • Maybe I had my hopes up too high, so I wasn't blown away, but it was still pretty tasty!

  • Yunokawa Onsen is just about a 5-minute drive from Hakodate Airport, and there are buses that go straight there too. Getting here is really easy!

  • This place is famous for its peanut butter, and the packaging is beautiful too. I just had to buy a jar to try it out!

  • The beauty of Kinkaku-ji is so elegant and captivating. It sits quietly by the lake, blending perfectly with the garden and the forest behind. It's just mesmerizing!

  • I didn’t like to take the photos everytime. But when I saw my friends
    being photographed with the amazing works ,I could not but say
    “wow, the visual effects are super fun! I wanna in”

  • It was a very interesting experience to be able to dress up as a Japanese
    historical figure and sample a lot of traditional food. We indulged with
    the exotic stuffs and fascinated with the culture. We really love it.

  • You could see the landscape 360 degrees, the lights were dim, and the whole atmosphere was so good. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the experience of viewing from a height but I would like it more, if there's fewer people.
