The gondola is super long—you can ski over 8 kilometers in one go! It’s incredibly fun. There are lots of beginner and intermediate slopes, so even newbies can have a great time.

Omi Beef Morishima

Omi beef is one of the top-3 wagyu brands from Japan. This spot, Omi Beef Morishima has been in business for 142 years, for about as long as the beef brand itself. It started in 1879 when beef consumption was still not popularized in Japan. Its roots trace back to opening in the Asakusa area of Tokyo as a butcher shop and beef hot pot eatery, known as “Yone-kyu” and has hasn’t stopped ever since.

Just seeing the marbling on the beef makes my mouth water. Whether you want steak, shabu-shabu, or sukiyaki, you can have it all here.

Daigoji Temple

Daigoji Temple was founded in 874 (Jogan 16), during the early Heian period, by Shobo, also known as Rigen Daishi. A grand-disciple of Kobo Daishi Kukai, he is regarded as a key figure in the revival of Shugendo. Daigoji is the head temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism. Its grounds cover approximately 1,630 acres across Mount Daigo, making it one of the largest temple complexes in Kyoto. The grounds are divided into Kami-Daigo at the top of the mountain and Shimo-Daigo at its foot, with more than 80 halls and pagodas scattered throughout. The temple initially developed around Kami-Daigo. It later received the strong patronage of Emperor Daigo as an imperial temple, and an extensive temple complex was established at the foot of the mountain.

The deer in the park are actually pretty gentle. They'll even nod at you when asking for food! The only downside is there’s a lot of droppings on the ground. 😅

The Japanese treat this lake with the same respect as a mother!

Matsue Castle is really well maintained. Unlike other castles that have become too modernized and lost their original charm, this one still feels authentic. Plus, there aren't many tourists, so the experience is much better.
