My visit to MITSUI OUTLET PARK KISARAZU was a really enjoyable shopping experience. The complex is huge, with many international brands, popular Japanese brands, and specialty stores. There’s a wide selection of clothing, shoes, bags, and household goods, so it was easy to find something I liked and enjoy browsing at a relaxed pace.
Beyond shopping, there are plenty of restaurants and cafés where you can try Japanese food or take a break when your feet need a rest.

Lake Toya
There is no better attraction than the natural landscape of Lake Toya in Hokkaido. The area around a caldera lake, Lake Toya , and an active volcano, Mt.Usu, was designated as the Toya- Usu Unesco Global Geopark in UNESCO Global Geopark.
The lake is crystal clear and calm, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds like a beautiful landscape painting. Walking along the lakeshore with a gentle breeze and fresh air feels incredibly relaxing and offers a welcome break from the busyness of everyday life.
The lakeside has well-maintained walking paths and rest areas where visitors can leisurely enjoy the views of the lake and mountains. A sightseeing cruise offers an up-close view of Nakajima Island and another perspective on Lake Toya’s natural beauty. At sunset, the warm light shimmers across the water, making the scenery even more enchanting and hard to leave behind. -

Susukino
Susukino is one of the most famous entertainment districts in Sapporo. Along with Kabukicho in Shinjuku and Nakasu in Fukuoka, Susukino is called one of the "three central entertainment districts in Japan.
Susukino, Sapporo’s liveliest district, showed me a completely different side of the city from the daytime. Neon lights illuminated the streets, which were lined with restaurants, shops, and local snacks. The vibrant atmosphere drew plenty of visitors for shopping and dining, filling the night with energy.
I strolled around while sampling Hokkaido specialties like ramen, jingisukan grilled lamb, and fresh seafood. Every dish was memorable. The beautiful signs and bustling streets also made for great photos and wonderful memories. -

Kitakaro Sapporo Main Store
Originally built as the Hokkaido Prefectural Library, this historic Western-style building was transformed into the Kitakaro Sapporo Main Store in March 2016. The eye-catching, retro-modern architecture is designed by world-renowned architect Tadao Ando, seamlessly blending the old with the new for an exterior and interior that’s stirs with sleek elegance.
I made a special trip to try the famous sweets at Kitakaro. As soon as I walked in, I saw an incredible selection of cakes, cream puffs, baumkuchen, and cookies. Everything looked so beautifully made that I wanted to take it all home.
Kitakaro’s sweets have a delicate texture and rich, milky flavor without being overly sweet. You can really taste the freshness of Hokkaido dairy products. -
