Mankusen Shrine

In the month of Kamiari-zuki (October on the lunar calendar), the gods from all over Japan gather in Izumo. It is said that the last stop for the gods visiting Izumo is the Mankusen Shrine. Officially called "Makuse-No-Yashiro," it is said that the gods hold a meeting here before departing for their respective lands.

The shrine priest here is really funny and charming. Thanks to his lively and engaging explanations, I learned a lot more about the Izumo area and Japanese mythology.

EDO WONDERLAND

Nikko Edomura is a theme park where guests can experience what it was like in the Edo period (1603-1868) in the present day. The vast grounds are made to look like an authentic townscape, with features like olden highways, inns, shopping streets, ninja villages, and samurai residences. In the dress-up area, guests can change clothes and transform themselves into Edo residents like ninjas, samurai, and feudal lords. Furthermore, there are so many hands-on experiences available to enjoy!

The tickets are too expensive, and the performances were dull and boring.

CUPNOODLES MUSEUM YOKOHAMA

Through the museum’s many exhibits you can learn about the creative thinking of Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin Food products, and inventor of Chicken Ramen, the world’s first instant noodles.

There were way too many people inside the museum. Staff had to use megaphones just to talk. It was super noisy and chaotic, which really ruined the mood of my visit.

Mt. Yoshino

Mt. Yoshino is acclaimed as the best spot to see cherry blossoms in all of Japan. In the spring, the entire mountain is washed with flowering trees as they bloom from the Shimosenbon (the lower 1,000 trees) at the foothills up to the Okusembon (the inner 1,000 trees).

You don't have to visit only during cherry blossom season—there are just too many tourists then. You can see different kinds of flowers at other times, and there’s also great food to try.

Nagashima Spa Land

This is one of the largest amusement parks in Japan, with some of the most thrilling attractions. The most popular attraction is the world-class hybrid coaster, "HAKUGEI" (meaning white whale). From the top of its 55-meter height, the coaster runs at an angle of 80 degrees with a maximum speed of 107 kilometers per hour. The thrill feels just like a ferocious white whale crossing through the rough sea!
