The garlic shrimp at the popular KOURI SHRIMP smelled amazing as soon as it hit the table, with rich aromas of garlic and butter that immediately whetted my appetite. The fresh shrimp were plump, springy, and sweet, and the flavorful sauce made every bite delicious. You can also enjoy beautiful ocean views of Kouri Island while you eat.

The pristine white buildings are built into the hillside, set against the blue ocean and sky. The scenery is absolutely beautiful—it feels like being in a small Mediterranean town.

Senaga Island has plenty of unique restaurants, cafés, and souvenir shops where you can enjoy great food along with ocean views. What impressed me most was seeing planes fly directly overhead. Watching them take off and land from so close was incredible!

Agu pork is Okinawa’s signature black pork. The meat is finely textured and tender, with evenly distributed marbling and a natural sweetness. It didn’t feel greasy at all and left a lasting impression.

For the Agu pork shabu-shabu, lightly swish the fresh pork in the broth for a few seconds, then enjoy it with Okinawa’s special dipping sauce. The meat was tender and juicy, with a rich sweetness in every bite. The fresh vegetables were delicious and added even more variety to the texture.

This is a famous local Okinawan rice ball. It looks simple, but the first bite pleasantly surprised me. The chewy white rice is paired with thick slices of meat, tender egg, fried shrimp, and seaweed. Every bite is layered with savory flavors and incredibly satisfying.

Kyoto’s popular ramen shop Menya Inoichi left me with wonderful food memories. The interior is simple and comfortable, with a warm Japanese atmosphere. There was a wait, but the anticipation of enjoying delicious ramen made it worthwhile.

The ramen broth was crystal clear with a delicate aroma. It was savory and smooth without being too rich, allowing the ingredients’ natural flavors to shine. The fine noodles, tender chashu, fragrant green onions, and other toppings created layers of flavor in every bite. The care put into the ingredients and presentation was especially impressive, making each bowl feel less like a simple dish and more like a thoughtfully crafted work of art.

I had a wonderful stay at VESSEL HOTEL CAMPANA OKINAWA. The hotel is right next to American Village, making it incredibly convenient. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby, so it’s easy to enjoy shopping and dining on foot. It’s a great place to stay while exploring the area.

The room was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well equipped, making it easy to relax. My favorite part was the beautiful ocean view. The sunset reflecting on the water was especially captivating, and I couldn’t help but stop and take it all in.

The thing I was most excited about at Vessel Hotel Campana Susukino was the breakfast. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw an impressive buffet spread with fresh salads, bread, hot dishes, Japanese side dishes, miso soup, and a variety of drinks. There were so many choices that I didn’t know where to start.

I tried several Hokkaido specialties, and every dish was fresh and delicious. The ingredients were high quality, and the meal was very satisfying. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable.

Tokyo Character Street in First Avenue Tokyo Station is home to many popular character shops, including Pokémon, Chiikawa, Sanrio, Sumikkogurashi, Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, and Studio Ghibli. Every store has its own unique charm, and there’s so much to see. It’s definitely worth checking out if you love anime and cartoon characters.

This shopping complex is located beneath Tokyo Skytree and features many well-known brands, specialty shops, restaurants, and souvenir stores. There’s a great variety of products, making it fun to explore. You can also pick up all the souvenirs you want in one place.

As soon as I arrived at Oyunuma Pond in Noboribetsu, I was captivated by the scenery. White steam constantly rose from the water, while a faint sulfur smell filled the air. You could really feel the power of volcanic geothermal activity. It was my first time seeing volcanic terrain this close, and I was filled with excitement and wonder.

Walking along the trail offered different views of the steam slowly rising against the lush green mountains, creating a truly unique natural landscape. After listening to the guide, I learned how hot the spring water is and gained a better understanding of Noboribetsu Onsen’s abundant geothermal resources. The trip offered not only beautiful scenery but also a fascinating learning experience.
