The yaezakura here are seriously gorgeous—just a huge ocean of pink. So dreamy.
They’re a bit different from the Somei Yoshino you usually see in Tokyo. The blossoms here are super full and such a soft, pretty pink!

The Shirahone Onsen near Kamikochi is really nice. The hot spring water is milky white, and the scent actually lingers on your skin for a few days after!

The modern glass facade really stands out, and the two-story book wall inside looks amazing. The space is combined with cafes and restaurants, so you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon here.
