A friend recommended that I buy it and give it a try. After actually using it, I found the texture really refreshing! The watery gel spreads easily and has great coverage. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky after application, and my skin still feels very comfortable. Taiwan's summers are especially hot and humid, so this kind of lightweight sunscreen is really suitable for everyday use. From Japanese user reviews, many people also like its watery feel, easy absorption, and the fact that it doesn't leave much of a white cast. It has received rave reviews.

Tokyo Tower has always been one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks to me! During the day, you can take the elevator up to the observation deck and look out over the city; at night, it turns into a romantic and charming date spot. Many people may not know that Tokyo Tower's decorative lighting actually changes with the seasons and special events. At Christmas, for example, it switches to red and green lights, giving the whole place an especially festive atmosphere.

On this trip to Tokyo, I chose a hotel room with a view of Tokyo Tower so I could enjoy it in a different way. When I woke up in the morning, Tokyo Tower was the first thing I saw; and when I returned to my room at night, I could say good night with the tower's lights beside me〜

Yoroshi Keshodo's “365 Hand Cream” is located on the shopping street leading to Senso-ji Temple, so it's almost impossible to miss. Every time I pass by, I see lots of women gathered around the counter testing scents and choosing one. It's really popular~

The most appealing part is the concept of “365 birthday scents,” with a unique fragrance for every day of the year. It gives you a one-of-a-kind feeling that “this scent was made just for me,” making it perfect as a souvenir or a small birthday gift. However, after actually using it, I found the texture a little sticky, which might bother people who prefer a lighter hand cream. I recommend trying it first.

The interior is very well preserved. Walking through the tatami rooms and wooden spaces, you can almost feel the historical atmosphere of the final years of the shogunate. The museum displays many historical materials from that period and also features some interactive games, making it easier for visitors to learn about the history and daily life of the time.

The Hakodate Magistrate’s Office was built in 1864 as an important administrative institution established by the Edo shogunate to strengthen its rule and defense of Ezo, and it served as a major northern base. Following the Boshin War and the end of the shogunate, the office closed in 1869. The current building was reconstructed based on surviving plans, documents, and photographs, allowing us to experience the history of the final years of the shogunate more closely through an actual visit.

A medicine we've always kept at home since I was little, mainly for relieving diarrhea, loose stools, stomach discomfort, and other symptoms. I remember it having a pretty strong smell, which I personally don't particularly like, but for older family members, it's reassuring to keep a bottle at home.

When I came to Tim Ho Wan, what I was looking forward to most was the baked barbecue pork buns with a crispy crust! With one bite into the golden, crispy crust, it was sweet, fragrant, and crumbly, with a savory, tender barbecue pork filling inside. The sweet and savory flavors came together with plenty of depth. They were especially irresistible hot out of the oven, and the red bean buns were also delicious.

It's a multipurpose commercial complex combining shopping, dining, entertainment, and transportation. There is a wide variety of stores, from clothing and household goods to unique restaurants, making it suitable for travelers of all ages. There is also an observation deck on the rooftop where you can enjoy views of Fukuoka. Since it's directly connected to Hakata Station, you can make the most of your time and do some last-minute shopping before heading to the airport〜

Fukutaro's senbei from Fukuoka come in many different packages and flavors. This time, I received the mentaiko senbei in the packaging with red lettering. The texture is slightly on the hard side, with a mild spiciness that makes it quite distinctive. Although the overall flavor is pretty good and it is considered one of Fukuoka's signature souvenirs, I personally prefer the texture of rice-based senbei and wouldn't go out of my way to buy these.

The main building of Nihombashi Takashimaya has a strong sense of history. The interior retains its retro style, and even the elevators are very distinctive. Walking around inside feels like stepping back in time, yet it also feels novel. It's well worth experiencing.

Every time I come to Tokyo, I also stop by here to buy rice crackers from Ogurasansou. It's become part of my regular itinerary. For items outside the food section, you can first take your passport to the tax refund counter to get a 5% discount coupon, then pay at each individual counter. If you meet the requirements and spend enough, you can also apply for tax-free shopping afterward, making it a pretty good deal.

Compared with typical sightseeing and food-focused itineraries, cycling along the Seto Inland Sea lets you experience the local natural scenery firsthand. Along the way, you cross spectacular bridges, with the sea breeze blowing, sunlight streaming down, and blue waters and island views accompanying you throughout the ride. It feels especially refreshing. Exercising while enjoying the scenery relaxes both body and mind, making it a unique and unforgettable experience.
