Yawataya Isogoro Shichimi Togarashi is a seasoning I buy again every time I visit Japan. As soon as you open the can, you can smell its rich, spicy aroma. The heat is mild and doesn't overpower the food's original flavor. Whether sprinkled over ramen, udon, rice bowls, grilled dishes, or even miso soup, it adds depth and makes the food even more delicious.

Yunotsubo Kaido
Yunotsubo Kaido is a charming street located about a 10-minute walk from Yufuin Station. This 800-meter-long street is dotted with souvenir shops, cafes, and museums.
由布院一定要逛逛湯之坪街道！整條街充滿日式小店、甜點店和伴手禮，邊走邊逛真的很有旅行的感覺。這次沒有特別安排要吃哪一家，看到想吃的就直接買，反而覺得更有趣。
逛街途中買了現炸炸雞，外皮酥酥的，熱熱吃真的很香，走累了來一份剛剛好。尤其一邊逛街、一邊拿著小吃慢慢吃，完全就是由布院散步的節奏。
另外還買了銅鑼燒，鬆軟的餅皮搭配甜甜的內餡，當作下午的小點心很適合。

Sagiridai Observatory
An observation deck built at the foot of Mt. Yufu, formed by two peaks to the east and west, along Prefectural Route 11, a well-known scenic drive. From an elevation of Approx. 680 m, you can take in a panoramic view of the Yufuin townscape. The sweeping views are impressive, and the beauty of the surrounding wilderness is just as captivating.
由布院，特別安排來到「狹霧台」看看風景！這裡位在由布院通往別府的山路上，是欣賞由布院盆地與由布岳景色的熱門展望地點。站在高處往下看，整個由布院被山巒包圍的景色非常漂亮。
天氣好的時候，可以清楚看到由布岳雄偉的山形，遠方的由布院街景則安靜地散落在山谷之間。尤其早晨或天氣較涼的時候，山谷間偶爾會出現霧氣，因此「狹霧台」這個名字也很有意境。
這次來到這裡，沒有特別趕行程，就停下來吹吹山風、拍拍照，欣賞眼前的自然景色。和熱鬧的由布院湯之坪街道相比，這裡多了一份安靜與開闊感。

Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden)
Enoshima Electric Railway, affectionately known as the “Enoden,” is a private railway operating an approximately 10-kilometer line connecting Fujisawa City and Kamakura City in Kanagawa Prefecture. The line opened in 1902 between Fujisawa and Katase (now Enoshima), and for more than 120 years it has served both as a vital means of daily transportation for local residents and as a key railway supporting tourism in the area.
In Kamakura, what I was looking forward to most was visiting the iconic scene from Slam Dunk! I took the Enoden to Kamakurakoko-mae Station, and seeing the familiar railroad crossing and Shonan coast really felt like stepping into a scene from the manga.
Especially with the railroad tracks and ocean view beside the crossing, along with the Enoden slowly passing by, images of Shohoku High School and Hanamichi Sakuragi immediately came to mind. Although the actual location is still a little different from the anime, the youthful, passionate, and slightly nostalgic atmosphere is really strong.
This is also a must-visit place in Kamakura for many Slam Dunk fans. There were lots of visitors waiting for the train to pass and taking photos with their phones. Finding that familiar angle and taking a photo really made this Kamakura trip feel worthwhile!
