If you come to Furano in winter, you definitely have to visit this place. The snowy night view is seriously postcard-perfect. Looking out through the large windows is stunning, and the snow scenery paired with the wooden cabin atmosphere feels so uniquely Hokkaido.

Daijoji Kyuryo Park
Located in southeastern Kanazawa, Daijoji Kyuryo Park offers abundant nature and expansive views from hilly terrain with an elevation difference of 83 m. The Grassy Hill midway up the slope is one of the park's most popular spots, offering panoramic views of Kanazawa from its gentle incline. On clear days, the view extends as far as the Sea of Japan.
This time, I happened to visit Daijoji Kyuryo Park when the hydrangeas were in full bloom. There were so many, in shades ranging from light blue and deep blue to purple. Walking among them felt like being surrounded by hydrangeas.

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.
If you come here, you have to get the combo of chicken skin and chuka soba. The chicken skin is crispy on the outside and tender inside, and it’s so addictive. It doesn’t feel greasy like typical fried food at all.
The ramen is on the lighter side, with a soy sauce-based broth that has a gentle chicken aroma. You can finish the whole bowl without feeling weighed down.
I also highly recommend the oden. It has that classic Japanese oden flavor, with a soft texture and just a bit of chew. Every bite is packed with flavor. -

Harunire Terrace
This is a “small town” with nine buildings connected with wide wooden decks, utilizing a grove of more than 100 Japanese elm trees alongside the clear stream.
Harunire Terrace has such a refined feel. The whole wooden deck walkway paired with the forest scenery makes for a really relaxing stroll. It’s definitely a representative spot for a slow trip in Karuizawa.
