The inside is such a mess. The shelves don’t feel organized at all, so finding anything takes forever.
Going at night is even worse—tons of tourists plus locals, and it’s super loud.

Okazaki Castle

A castle where Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), who founded the Edo shogunate, was born. In 2006, it was selected as one of the “Top 100 Castles in Japan.” With many legends tied to dragons, it is also known as “Tatsugajo (Dragon Castle).” One legend says that when Takechiyo (later Ieyasu) was born, dark clouds swirled above the castle and a golden dragon appeared.

Okazaki Castle looks super grand from the outside, and it photographs really well. If you’re into Tokugawa Ieyasu, this place will feel extra meaningful.

Okunitama-jinja Shrine

Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. Among those, the shrine blessing love and marriage is especially well-known.

This shrine feels really rich with history. It has a solemn vibe, but it doesn’t feel heavy or oppressive.

teamLab Botanical Garden Osaka

A permanent nighttime outdoor museum created by the digital art collective teamLab, transforming the Nagaike Botanical Garden into a fantastical art space after dark. While it serves as a serene botanical garden during the day, at night it comes alive with immersive light and sound installations.

After seeing teamLab’s light and projection style so many times, it really doesn’t feel that fresh anymore.

The pick-up process was faster than I expected, so I didn’t have to wait long.
