Azumino National Park in Azumino City, Nagano Prefecture, is a famous flower-viewing spot where you can enjoy tulips, lily of the valley, cherry blossoms, and more.
The grounds are विशाल, and the flower fields stretch out in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple... The earth looks like a vibrant rainbow-colored carpet. So beautiful!
Some people were sitting under the cherry trees, with cherry blossom petals falling in the sunlight. It felt so blissful 🥰

Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse, right next to Aomori Station, has a complete collection of the giant Nebuta lantern floats that have appeared in past festivals. The dazzling exhibits, along with videos and interactive experiences, gave me a deeper understanding of this cultural celebration with 300 years of history. Even if you’ve never actually attended the festival, Wa Rasse is a great place to satisfy your curiosity all at once.
The 2026 Taiwan Chiayi Lantern Festival also invited Wa Rasse to take part. Seeing those vivid, towering character lanterns reminded me of my fun experience in Aomori. -

For Cup Noodles fans, visiting the Nissin Cup Noodles Museum should be an experience that fully delights all five senses. From the building to the souvenirs, even the manhole covers feature the little yellow chick.
When you come to the Cup Noodles “kingdom,” you of course have to make your own cup noodles. Everything from decorating the cup to creating your own flavor really brings out your inner child.
I also learned that Momofuku Ando was actually from Chiayi, Taiwan. His inspiring life story made the visit even more uplifting. -

There’s an English-style Peter Rabbit garden on Mt. Rokko, and you can find little surprises in just about every corner.
From Rokko Garden Terrace, you can look out over Kobe, Wakayama, and other areas along Osaka Bay. The view is as colorful and dazzling as opening a jewelry box, and the night scenery sparkles like brilliant gems!
There’s also a ranch and a music box museum here, and you can even make your own music box as a souvenir. -
