Coming here in winter really hits different. The snowy scenery with the shrine feels so Hokkaido.
The approach isn’t long, but the atmosphere is really nice and relaxing.

Oya History Museum
Oya stone was mined from the area near Oyamachi, Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, and was also used as a building material for the former Imperial Hotel. The "Oya Museum" is the one that passes on the history of mining.
The scale of the underground space is truly impressive. The lighting against the stone walls creates such a mysterious atmosphere.
Oya History Museum is especially comfortable to visit in the summer. It stays cool inside year-round, and walking through the spacious underground area feels wonderfully refreshing. -

Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami Osawa
Located in Hachioji, Tokyo, Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami Osawa offers excellent accessibility by both car and train. It's about a 35-minute train ride from Shinjuku Station, and just a 2-minute walk from the nearest station, making it a convenient shopping destination.
There aren’t that many stores, and it wasn’t crowded at all—just a handful of people. It feels like mostly locals from the area come here.

Nakajima Park
Located at the heart of Sapporo, Nakajima Park offers a verdant space. many tourists flock to this popular park to see ever-changing scenery through four seasons.
Nakajima Park during ginkgo season was even more beautiful than I expected. The sunlight made everything glow golden, and the whole place had such a lovely atmosphere.
With the lake right next to it too, having scenery like this in the middle of Sapporo is a huge plus. -
