When I came to SUNSHINE SAKAE, I originally just wanted to look around and take in the atmosphere. I didn’t expect to come across anime fans dancing on-site, and the whole place instantly became lively. Everyone dancing was perfectly in sync—it was really impressive!

Watching everyone perform enthusiastically to the music, quite a few people gathered around to enjoy the show as well. Unexpectedly catching this fun scene added a nice little surprise to the trip.

I was originally just passing by, but this impromptu anime dance performance made me stop and watch. It really feels like you can often come across memorable little scenes on the streets of Japan!

While shopping in Odaiba, I made a special trip to the very popular bills Odaiba. I was most excited to try their signature pancakes! When they arrived, they looked very fluffy and were served with fresh bananas. Just looking at them made me hungry.

The pancakes were soft and fluffy, and the bananas had a natural sweetness. Eating them together with the butter gave them a smooth, sweet flavor, while the bananas made the overall taste even richer.

The restaurant also has large windows that let in plenty of natural light. You can enjoy views of the Odaiba area while eating the pancakes, and the atmosphere is quite relaxing. It's a comfortable place to sit down and take a break when you're tired from shopping.

Kyoto’s famous rich matcha langue de chat, “CHA no KA,” is something matcha lovers will really enjoy! As soon as you open the package, you can smell a light matcha aroma. The cookies are crisp, with matcha chocolate sandwiched in the middle, giving them a very rich matcha flavor overall.

What I like most is that they’re not just sweet. The matcha has a slightly bitter tea flavor, making them rich and layered. They’re delicious!

When strolling around Miyajima, Momijido Main Store is really hard to miss. Its most famous item is Miyajima’s iconic “Agemomiji,” which is a regular momiji manju deep-fried until the outside becomes crisp. It’s warm in your hand and perfect for eating while you walk!

When you bite into it, the outside is lightly crisp, while the red bean filling inside is still soft, fragrant, and sweet. Eating it warm is a completely different experience from a regular momiji manju.

We came to the Sapporo TV Tower at night, just in time for the illumination. The entire tower lit up against the night sky and was very eye-catching even from a distance. Together with the lights of Odori Park, it gave downtown Sapporo a more romantic atmosphere.

Looking from Odori Park, you can see the tower blending into the surrounding streetscape. It's especially more charming at night when the lights come on than during the day. Strolling around while enjoying the night view was really relaxing.

Nagoya Port Sea Train Land is a great place for families with children. The park has quite a few rides, but what caught my eye the most was the Ferris wheel, which stands about 85 meters tall. You can see it from far away, and it really stands out!

Grand Front Osaka is really great for shopping. The entire complex is very spacious, and it’s also very convenient to get to from the Umeda area. What I like most are the connecting walkways around it, so you don’t have to keep taking detours or go out onto the street. Shopping, dining, and making transfers all connect very smoothly.

There are lots of restaurants, cafes, and all kinds of stores inside, so you can always find somewhere to rest when you get tired. The Umeda underground shopping area is already very easy to get lost in, so these connecting walkways really make things much more convenient.

What I liked most about staying at Hotel Nikko Kanazawa was its convenient location! The hotel is very close to Kanazawa Station, which saves a lot of time whether you're taking the train, shopping, or visiting attractions around the city.

It's especially convenient for getting to Kenrokuen Garden. You don't have to spend much time traveling, so it's easy to visit this famous garden that represents Kanazawa. Heading out in the morning for a stroll through the garden made the whole itinerary flow smoothly.

What attracted me most to Zanpa Misaki in Okinawa was the pure white lighthouse standing by the coast! Zanpa Misaki Lighthouse is one of the few lighthouses on Okinawa’s main island that you can climb to the top for a view. Its white exterior against the deep blue sea is truly beautiful!

Walking along the cape, you can see the spectacular cliffs, and the sea breeze feels very pleasant. Looking out toward the ocean from near the lighthouse, the view is incredibly expansive. When the weather is nice, it’s a great place to take photos.

If you have enough time and energy, you can also climb the lighthouse for a view from higher up, but since we had children with us, we didn’t go up. What a shame!

At Cape Hedo in northern Okinawa, the moment I saw the ocean in front of me, I couldn't help but stop to take pictures! The deep blue water paired with the dramatic coastline was incredibly beautiful, and when the weather is good, it's so gorgeous that you won't want to leave!

Looking out from the cape, you can feel the vastness of the sea and sky merging into one, and the ocean breeze blowing against your face feels especially pleasant. It's not as busy as attractions in the city and instead has a more natural, peaceful atmosphere.
