The crabs all looked really impressive, but the prices were on the high side, so it’s best to compare prices before buying.
The vendors were all quite friendly, and some even spoke Chinese, so ordering wasn’t too stressful.

ATAOLAND KOBE
Located in Kobe’s Sannomiya area, ATAOLAND KOBE is the large flagship store of ATAO, a brand known as a pioneer of L-shaped zipper wallets. It is a spot where visitors can discover many items born from Japan’s meticulous craftsmanship.
This ATAO 18th-anniversary edition is seriously tempting. The black leather with tiger embroidery looks very refined without feeling too mature. Since my Chinese zodiac sign is also the tiger, I knew I had to take it home the moment I saw it. Now I can't bring myself to use it, so for now I'm just admiring it as a collector's item.

Kawa no Soba
After drinking around Nakasu, Fukuoka, Kawa no Soba is a place you will want to stop by. Located along the Nakagawa River, this restaurant works both as a place for chuka soba, a light ramen-style noodle dish, and as an izakaya-style spot, making it a popular choice for ending the night. It has counter seats that are easy to use even when visiting alone, as well as relaxed table seating, making it convenient as a second or third stop.
I originally thought the ramen would be the star, but the fried rice was every bit as good! It had great wok hei and a fantastic texture. Eating it together with the ramen was such a satisfying combo. This is definitely a place worth coming back to.

Lake Suwa
Located almost in the center of Nagano Prefecture, Lake Suwa is the largest lake in the prefecture, with a circumference of about 16 km and surrounded by mountains. Along its nature-rich shores, fully developed cycling and jogging paths allow visitors to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The area is also home to numerous attractions, including visiting all four shrines of Suwa Taisha, appreciating art at museums, and soaking in hot springs with views of the lake.
If you're staying at a hotel by the lake, you should definitely go out for a walk at night. Lake Suwa has a completely different vibe after dark than it does during the day. Without the noise of the city, just sitting by the lake, zoning out, and looking at the night view is one of the most relaxing moments of the trip.
