This was once the residence of the Maeda family of the Kaga Domain. It has a long history and is also one of Kanazawa's most iconic attractions. As soon as you enter the park, you can feel the strong sense of Japanese history, as if you have traveled back in time to the age of the samurai.

The most impressive features of Kanazawa Castle Park are its magnificent castle structures, white walls, and historic stone walls. Inside the park, you can see restored buildings such as Hishi Yagura, Gojikken Nagaya, and Hashizume-mon Gate. The traditional Japanese castle architecture is very distinctive, and every angle is great for photos!

If you want to experience Osaka's most distinctive local culture, you definitely have to take a stroll through Shinsekai Hon-dori Shopping Street! The area is filled with Osaka character, with all kinds of restaurants, kushikatsu shops, and distinctive signs lining both sides of the street. The colorful decorations make the entire street feel lively and energetic—a style that is uniquely Osaka!

As you walk through the shopping street, the most eye-catching sights are the exaggerated 3D signs outside the shops. Some are giant pufferfish, while others are shaped like octopuses, crabs, and more. Just looking at the signs is fun, and I couldn't help taking photos all along the way. This is also a great place to experience Osaka food, especially the famous local kushikatsu. Fried until golden and crispy with a variety of ingredients, it's really worth trying when you visit Osaka!

The shrine is best known for its tradition of praying for good matches. The grounds have many decorations full of Japanese charm, along with cute amulets and all kinds of omikuji fortune slips. Each one is so beautifully made that you can’t help wanting to take one home as a souvenir! 💕 I’ve heard that this shrine is especially popular with visitors seeking luck in love. Whether you hope to meet the right person or want your relationship to go more smoothly, you can come and pray with a sincere heart.

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine also has popular sea bream fortune slips that you can fish for with a small fishing rod. They’re cute and fun, and very different from ordinary omikuji that you draw directly. They make the shrine visit more interactive and are also great for commemorative photos!

If you visit in the summer, you may also get to see the shrine’s famous wind chime event. Colorful Edo wind chimes sway in the breeze with clear, delicate ringing sounds. The scene is very dreamlike and is one of the reasons so many people come to visit.

Watching the games on TV is already exciting, but this time I got to step inside Tokyo Dome and experience the atmosphere in person. It was completely different!

On game day, the venue was packed with fans. Everyone was wearing jerseys and carrying cheering gear, ready to support their team. What moved me most was seeing so many Taiwanese fans fly all the way to Japan just to cheer for Chinese Taipei! When the familiar cheers began and the entire crowd shouted together, I couldn't help but get fired up. I was filled with emotion and pride as a Taiwanese person.

In Tokyo's Odaiba, one place Gundam fans absolutely can't miss is DiverCity Tokyo Plaza! It's best known for the enormous, life-size Gundam statue in front of the plaza. You can see it towering there before you even get close, and it's truly impressive! Even if you're not a devoted Gundam fan, you can't help but stop and take a photo when you see such a huge model.

The Gundam statue is incredibly detailed. From the armor and joints to the various mechanical elements, you can see how much care went into making it. During the day, you can admire its cool appearance up close, and at certain times you may also get to see a Gundam performance. The lights and sound effects make the atmosphere even more exciting! It's a good idea to check the official performance schedule before visiting so you don't happen to miss it.

The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba is located near Odaiba Seaside Park, facing Tokyo Bay, with the spectacular Rainbow Bridge in the background. The whole scene feels very characteristic of Tokyo. Especially when the weather is nice, the blue sky, ocean view, statue, and Rainbow Bridge all come together beautifully. It's a popular photo spot that many visitors consider a must when they come to Odaiba!

When visiting Odaiba, Tokyo, you definitely can’t miss Odaiba Seaside Park! It feels very different from the busy streets of central Tokyo, with a more laid-back seaside atmosphere. You can stroll along the waterfront, admire the views of Tokyo Bay, and enjoy a rare glimpse of Tokyo’s coastal scenery.

The park’s biggest attraction is the distant view of Rainbow Bridge! During the day, you can enjoy the scenery of the blue sky, water, and bridge coming together. When the weather is nice, the whole view is beautiful. There’s also a Statue of Liberty here. Although it’s much smaller than the original in New York, it’s a very iconic photo spot in Odaiba, so be sure to take a picture with it!

When visiting Odaiba, Tokyo, you definitely can’t miss the distinctive landmark that is the Fuji TV Headquarters Building! The building has a very unusual exterior, and its most eye-catching feature is the huge silver sphere suspended in the middle. You can recognize it instantly even from a distance, and it’s one of Odaiba’s most iconic attractions.

Fuji TV is not only a well-known Japanese television network, but also a place that will interest many fans of Japanese dramas, variety shows, and anime. As you approach the building, you can really feel the atmosphere of Japanese television culture. If you regularly watch Japanese programs, the place will feel especially familiar!

The most distinctive feature is HACHITAMA, the huge spherical observation room in the middle of the building. From up high, you can enjoy views of Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge, and the surrounding Odaiba area. The view is even more captivating when the weather is nice. Odaiba Seaside Park, AQUA CiTY, and DiverCity Tokyo Plaza are also nearby, so you can easily include shopping, taking photos, and enjoying the ocean views

This is an excellent place to enjoy Aso’s magnificent natural scenery. Standing at the observation deck and looking out, the view is so beautiful that you can’t help but keep taking photos!

The most appealing thing about Daikanbo is that you can look out over Aso’s spectacular mountains and vast grasslands. Layers of rolling mountains stretch into the distance beneath an endless sky. The entire scene is truly magnificent, letting you feel the vastness and awe of nature.

There are many bridges along the Sumida River, each with its own design and features. As you walk along the promenade, you can also enjoy the cityscape from different angles. If you have enough time, you can also include Asakusa, Azuma Bridge, and the area around Tokyo Skytree to make your itinerary more varied.

Compared with crowded, popular tourist attractions, I prefer places like this where I can slow down and enjoy the scenery. When traveling in Tokyo, you don’t have to pack your schedule every day. Occasionally leaving some time for yourself to stroll along the river and take in the scenery is also a wonderful travel experience!
