One of the biggest advantages of JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo is its truly convenient location! The hotel is directly connected to Sapporo Station, saving time whether you're taking the JR or heading to other attractions around the city. This is a major plus for independent travelers. Especially when visiting Sapporo in winter, there's often snow outside, and the roads are slippery and prone to icing over, so dragging a suitcase any distance can be really difficult. For anyone traveling to Hokkaido in winter, convenient transportation is definitely a very important consideration when choosing accommodations.

LOG (Hiroshima Prefecture)
LOG is a three-story hotel complex located midway up Mount Senkoji, a popular spot offering spectacular views of the Onomichi Channel.
While strolling around Mount Senkoji, it's easy to have your eye caught by LOG on the mountainside. This three-story hotel complex has a rustic yet refined exterior that fits in well with the nostalgic atmosphere unique to Onomichi. When passing by, you can't help but stop and take a few more looks at this distinctive building.
LOG isn't just a place to stay; it also brings together dining and lifestyle aesthetics, with an overall design that's simple yet tasteful. Even if you're not staying there, just passing by and enjoying the architecture and surrounding scenery leaves a lasting impression. If you have time, consider stopping by the café for a meal accompanied by a beautiful view. -

Rilakkuma Store Tokyo Station
Rilakkuma Store Tokyo Station is a specialty shop dedicated to Rilakkuma, built around the concept “Happy life with Rilakkuma.” It opened in 2009 as Japan’s first official standalone Rilakkuma shop. Since then, it has become a favorite destination for a wide range of visitors, from children to adults.
Speaking of Rilakkuma stores, don't miss this one in Dogo Onsen! The whole store is filled with cuteness, and you can also find plenty of exclusive items featuring Dogo Onsen elements. The limited-edition plush toys are especially appealing—each one is hard to put down.
Some popular items are limited in quantity and occasionally sell out, so if you see something you like, you may want to take it home right away. They're great for your own collection or as travel souvenirs! -

Cup Noodles Curry Flavor
Nissin Foods, the inventor of the world’s cup ramen “Cup Noodles”, launched its curry-flavored noodles just two years after its start of sales. The noodles have a good body and the curry flavored soup is mild and creamy with the sweetness of vegetables.
These Nissin Cup Noodles flavors each have their own distinctive qualities, and they're all pretty tasty overall. The noodles are on the thin side, but they still have a nice texture after steeping and don't turn mushy right away. The broth is also very flavorful, and the portion is pretty generous for cup noodles.
My personal favorite is the seafood flavor. The savory seafood taste goes really well with the noodles and is hard to stop eating. Just making one cup is very satisfying. Whenever I see them on sale at a supermarket or drugstore, I can't resist picking up a few extra cups to keep at home for a late-night snack or for when I don't feel like cooking. Convenient and satisfying! -
