Asahi Super Dry is a classic Japanese beer, best known for its crisp, refreshing taste. The sound of carbonation when you open the can instantly gives you a cool, refreshing feeling. It has a light malty aroma and tastes dry without being overly sweet.

After trying it this time, I found that it wasn't too full-bodied, with a refreshing taste and a clean finish. It's especially good served ice-cold. It pairs well with fried chicken, yakiniku, or izakaya dishes. Taking a bite of food followed by a sip of beer makes the whole experience even more satisfying.

KIRIN Afternoon Tea is a classic Japanese drink with many varieties, and milk tea is my favorite. As soon as you open the bottle, you can smell the subtle black tea aroma. It's smooth with a rich milky flavor, and the moderate sweetness makes it very pleasant to drink.

Koikeya Lightly Salted Original Potato Chips are a classic Japanese snack. As soon as you open the bag, you can smell the subtle potato aroma. The chips are thin and crispy, with a very satisfying crunch. The simple salty flavor brings out the potatoes' natural sweetness even more.

The gassho-zukuri village of Shirakawa-go feels like stepping into a small village from a fairy tale. Traditional thatched-roof houses are neatly scattered throughout the valley, creating a strong sense of rural Japan. Seeing the entire village from a distance with the surrounding mountains was truly beautiful.

This time, I walked through Shirakawa-go and slowly strolled along the village paths. I was able to admire the historic gassho-zukuri buildings up close and experience the area's relaxed way of life. I kept stopping to take photos along the way because every angle had its own charm, making it hard to leave.

What I loved most about this trip was the peace and simplicity of Shirakawa-go, which is completely different from the bustle of Tokyo and Osaka.

Taito Ward Sumida Park is located along the Sumida River and is a great place in Tokyo for taking a walk, viewing flowers, and enjoying the city scenery. Walking along the riverbank, you can see the Sumida River and Tokyo Skytree complementing each other, making for a beautiful view.

This time, I took a walk through the park in person. Feeling the riverside breeze and watching the boats slowly pass by made everything feel more relaxed. The greenery along the way was very pleasant, and during cherry blossom season, you can enjoy views filled with cherry blossoms, creating a wonderful atmosphere for photos.

I think Black Thunder's biggest appeal is that it's simple and delicious, as well as affordable and easy to carry, making it a great souvenir from Japan. When shared with family and friends, it easily becomes a little snack that everyone reaches for.

Zojoji Temple was originally just another stop on my Tokyo itinerary, but after actually going inside, I unexpectedly grew to really like it. The ancient temple buildings, surrounded by skyscrapers and Tokyo Tower, create a fascinating feeling of crossing between the past and present.

What impressed me most was the peaceful atmosphere inside the temple. Even though bustling Tokyo is just outside, stepping in feels like instantly entering another world. Walking slowly and admiring the architecture also helped calm my mind.

After actually using it, I found that it spreads very well, so I can quickly apply it before going out and complete my sun protection routine. My skin stays soft to the touch without feeling noticeably dry, and it's also easy to apply makeup afterward. It's very practical for anyone who needs sun protection every day.

Overall, I really like how light and moisturizing it feels. It doesn't make my skin feel weighed down just because I'm wearing sunscreen.

Tokyo Tower lights up and complements the surrounding city lights, making the whole scene very beautiful. Standing nearby, taking in the night view and feeling the evening breeze was especially romantic, and it added a sense of relaxation to an otherwise tiring trip.

It wasn't until I visited Tokyo Tower in person this time that I truly felt the charm it has that photos can't capture.

TOKYO SKYTREE is one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks. Its soaring structure can be seen from far away and is very impressive. Looking up from the base of the tower really makes you feel especially small, and I was also amazed by the building's height and design.

This time, I went up to the observation deck and looked down over central Tokyo from high above. The densely packed buildings and roads seemed to stretch endlessly, and in good weather, you can even see far into the distance. Watching the sunset in the evening and then seeing the countless lights of Tokyo after nightfall was truly beautiful.
