Ginza-Dori street
Ginza-Dori street is one of Japan's most prestigious shopping districts with a sense of history and elegance. It is lined with department stores and high-end brand stores, rivaling New York's Fifth Avenue and London's Oxford Street.
On weekends at noon, the street is closed off for pedestrians—it's awesome for strolling! Even if you can't afford the luxury brands, just enjoying the street views is a treat.
Onuma Quasi National Park
In July 1958, Onuma Quasi-National Park was designated as the 13th in the nation and the only quasi-national park in southern Hokkaido.
Onuma Quasi National Park in winter offers a totally different vibe. Sometimes the lake freezes over, and the mountains and trees around it get covered in snow, creating a peaceful and beautiful winter scene. The cold air and fresh atmosphere really make you feel refreshed.
Q Plaza Harajuku
A landmark property of Omotesando and Harajuku, the colorful exterior of this 12-story building (including a basement level) makes it easy to find. Besides its many cafes and restaurants, a variety of services are catered to in this complex, such as specialty shops and wedding facilities.
The building has a stylish exterior, and you can enjoy coffee on the beautiful terrace.
Kawasaki Daishi Heikenji Temple (Kongosan Kinjoin Heikenji)
Kawasaki Daishi is considered the birthplace of the "Hatsumode" tradition. Every year during the first three days of the New Year, approximately 3 million people visit for worship.
The temple is really grand. It's not too crowded on regular days, and strolling through the shopping street nearby is super relaxing.
