KARUIZAWA PRINCE SHOPPING PLAZA is a great place to shop, enjoy good food, and take in the natural scenery. The mall is very large and has many brand-name stores offering everything from clothing and sporting goods to household items. People who love shopping really won’t want to leave.

After visiting in person, what I liked most was that it wasn’t as crowded as typical urban outlets. It’s surrounded by large green spaces and mountain views, and there are places to rest when you get tired of shopping. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed. Shopping while enjoying Karuizawa’s natural scenery along the way felt especially pleasant.

Iejima Island

Floating in the sea west of the Motobu Peninsula on Okinawa Main Island, Iejima Island is a small island with a circumference of Approx. 22 km. It takes Approx. 30 minutes by ferry from Motobu Port, making it a popular remote island destination for easy day trips. Gusukuyama, one of the Okinawa Eight Views, is the island’s symbol and was long used as a landmark for navigation. The view from the top is spectacular, and at 172 m above sea level, it is an easy climb.

What I love is the laid-back, unspoiled island atmosphere here. After arriving by ferry, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you're greeted by the deep blue sea and vast natural scenery, and you quickly start to relax.

What attracted me most on the island was the impressive Gusukuyama, also known as Iejima Tacchu. It looks very distinctive even from a distance, and with the blue sky and greenery around it, it looks great in every photo. Taking your time to enjoy the island scenery along the way also lets you experience the unique tranquility of rural Okinawa.
Kanmon Bridge

Opened in 1973, Kanmon Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting Moji in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, with Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Spanning the Kanmon Straits, the bridge measures 1,068 meters in total length and was the longest bridge in Asia at the time of its completion. It forms part of an expressway linking Mojiko IC and Shimonoseki IC, and is open only to motor vehicles (excluding vehicles not permitted on expressways).

Kanmon Bridge spans the Kanmon Straits between Honshu and Kyushu, connecting Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi Prefecture with Kitakyushu in Fukuoka Prefecture. The first time I saw it, the long bridge stretching across the water, together with the surrounding ocean views, looked truly impressive.

This time, I came to enjoy the scenery near Kanmon Bridge in person. You can see ships traveling back and forth through the strait, with the sea breeze blowing toward you, and the whole view feels very open. Standing on the shore and looking at the bridge and sea blending together really gives you that expansive feeling of being on a journey.
