Oirase Stream

夏天的奧入瀨溪流是著名的避暑勝地，綠意盎然盡收眼底。
前一晚的陣雨讓溪水更加豐沛，拿起相機隨處拍照都可媲美月曆上的美景作品。
氣溫涼爽舒適，翠綠的森林、潺潺的溪流⋯⋯美麗的景色令人心曠神怡。

Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse

Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse, right next to Aomori Station, has a complete collection of the giant Nebuta lantern floats that have appeared in past festivals. The dazzling exhibits, along with videos and interactive experiences, gave me a deeper understanding of this cultural celebration with 300 years of history. Even if you’ve never actually attended the festival, Wa Rasse is a great place to satisfy your curiosity all at once.
The 2026 Taiwan Chiayi Lantern Festival also invited Wa Rasse to take part. Seeing those vivid, towering character lanterns reminded me of my fun experience in Aomori.

CUPNOODLES MUSEUM OSAKA IKEDA

For Cup Noodles fans, visiting the Nissin Cup Noodles Museum should be an experience that fully delights all five senses. From the building to the souvenirs, even the manhole covers feature the little yellow chick.

When you come to the Cup Noodles “kingdom,” you of course have to make your own cup noodles. Everything from decorating the cup to creating your own flavor really brings out your inner child.

I also learned that Momofuku Ando was actually from Chiayi, Taiwan. His inspiring life story made the visit even more uplifting.

Rokko Garden Terrace

There’s an English-style Peter Rabbit garden on Mt. Rokko, and you can find little surprises in just about every corner.

From Rokko Garden Terrace, you can look out over Kobe, Wakayama, and other areas along Osaka Bay. The view is as colorful and dazzling as opening a jewelry box, and the night scenery sparkles like brilliant gems!

There’s also a ranch and a music box museum here, and you can even make your own music box as a souvenir.
