The level of detail is honestly incredible. The carvings are super intricate and gorgeous, and it feels very different from the usual simple style of most shrines. I couldn't stop looking around.

Motsudokoro Tengoku Horumon
A Wagyu restaurant located just a 3 minute walk from Susukino Station in Sapporo. By purchasing whole cattle of Toshu Wagyu, a premium brand of Japanese Black beef raised in Ikeda, Hokkaido, the restaurant is able to serve exceptionally fresh meat dishes, including rare cuts, at reasonable prices.
The biggest difference between Wagyu offal and regular beef is that some cuts are especially rich in fat, giving them a more pronounced aroma after cooking. However, offal itself has a more distinctive flavor, and the texture isn't as tender as regular beef. If you already enjoy dishes like beef intestines and tripe, you'll probably find it very satisfying, but people who don't often eat offal may need some time to get used to it.

Yura River Bridge
The Kyoto Tango Railway’s Miyatoyo Line connects Miyazu Station in Miyazu and Nishi-Maizuru Station in Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture. Spanning the Yura River between Tango-Kanzaki and Tango-Yura stations is Kyoto Prefecture’s longest railway bridge, measuring 552 m.
Crossing the Yura River Bridge by train feels completely different from photographing the train from outside. Because the bridge is so close to the water, looking out the window hardly feels like you're on a typical bridge. It really gives you the illusion that the train is traveling on the water.

Kita no Megumi Asahikawa Tabe Marche
One of northern Hokkaido's leading food festivals, held annually for three days in September, including Respect for the Aged Day, in central Asahikawa, Hokkaido. A wide variety of restaurants and producers from Asahikawa, other parts of northern Hokkaido, and partner cities gather at venues stretching from the plaza in front of JR Asahikawa Station to Heiwa Shopping Street. Visitors can sample locally produced agricultural and livestock products, seafood, regional specialties, sweets, and more.
Compared with Taiwan's night markets, this one isn't necessarily bigger, but it has a strong Japanese feel. Each stall has its own unique character, which makes it feel quite fresh for tourists.
