The rooftop garden and park are not just great for taking photos—they're also a nice spot for kids to play and relax. It's worth setting aside some time to take a stroll up there.

Fujiya Sukiyabashi Store
Opened in 1953 in Ginza’s Sukiyabashi area, Fujiya Sukiyabashi Store is the brand’s flagship store. Through successive renovations, it has continued to showcase the appeal of the Fujiya brand. Today, Peko-chan Vision, a giant digital screen mounted on the building’s rooftop, shows videos that change with the seasons. It has long been a Ginza landmark cherished by many.
I didn't realize Fujiya had more than just desserts—their Western-style dishes are also quite good. Having a slice of cake after the meal was so satisfying. Adults will enjoy it too.

Kushihiki Hachimangu Shrine
Kushihiki Hachimangu Shrine, located in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture, is a historic Shinto shrine with over 800 years of history. On its Approx. 5.3-hectare grounds, centuries-old cedar trees stand in rows, and the area has long been loved as “Hachimanyama.” The grounds are filled with highlights. Starting with the main sanctuary, designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, you can see many valuable buildings and decorative details.
There are quite a few old buildings preserved on the grounds, and the whole place feels quiet and serene. The moment you walk in, it’s calming.
You can also see the main hall, which feels like a national-treasure-level landmark—so much history.
Compared to the more bustling tourist spots, this place is much more peaceful. Great for a slow stroll and soaking in the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese shrine.

Yunotsubo Kaido
Yunotsubo Kaido is a charming street located about a 10-minute walk from Yufuin Station. This 800-meter-long street is dotted with souvenir shops, cafes, and museums.
Even though it’s a tourist area, it’s not noisy at all and feels really comfortable. If you don’t feel like walking, you can take a horse-drawn carriage—it’s retro and super fun! 🐴
