  • I heard that even the Japanese Emperor tried these and loved them, so I had to buy some myself. Turns out, a lot of people were buying them too! I got the signature flavor—the rich buttery aroma with sugar on top is amazing. Perfect with tea. Highly recommended!

  • This place was actually used as a filming location for the movie Kiki's Delivery Service, which really shows just how beautiful the scenery is.

  • There are so many teas to choose from here! I bought a small pack to take home. They also have sweets that go well with tea—the edamame mochi is especially famous. It's a bit sweet and has a nice texture with bits of beans. Definitely worth a try!

  • You can avoid tour groups here and really enjoy the inn, which the owner has carefully restored and relocated. It's full of nostalgic, retro vibes and so relaxing. Soaking in the hot springs with beautiful views and enjoying delicious food—this is what happiness is all about!

  • A lot of shopping malls feel pretty much the same, but this place has a real European vibe. For people from Asia, it's pretty appealing. Even if you don't shop, just having a coffee or meal here and soaking in the atmosphere is nice!

  • Both sides of the 3.5 km road are lined with gorgeous pink cherry blossoms, making it feel like you're walking through a pink tunnel. No matter where you take a photo, it looks beautiful.

  • I came here because of its reputation, and wow, it was super crowded! But honestly, this was the best oyakodon I've ever had. The eggs were smooth and tasty, and the chicken was juicy with just the right amount of bite. Paired with the sauce, it was absolutely fantastic!

  • Nikko Toshogu has over 5,100 statues. The three must-see carvings are the Imagined Elephant, the Three Wise Monkeys, and the Sleeping Cat. The craftsmanship is incredibly detailed, and each piece has a deeper meaning that's worth exploring!
