TOKYO SKYTREE looks like a blue pencil stretching straight into the sky, standing out prominently on the streets of Tokyo. Compared with the nostalgic feel of Tokyo Tower, TOKYO SKYTREE has a sleeker, more modern urban presence. Looking out over Tokyo from the observation deck, the densely packed city resembles a miniature model, making you truly realize for the first time just how vast Tokyo is. It’s not just a place to enjoy the scenery, but also the best vantage point for viewing Tokyo.

Mt. Hakodate Observatory
The Mt. Hakodate Observatory is the final stop of Mt. Hakodate Ropeway. The first floor features an inside lounge, the Ryoubi Park popular among locals as a less-crowded area to enjoy the night sceneries. The second floor features a summit shop, and restaurant selling Mt. Hakodate original goods. The third floor features a tea lounge, and the fourth floor features an observatory lounge.
When visiting Hokkaido, you definitely shouldn’t miss the million-dollar night view from Mt. Hakodate~ Looking down from the summit observatory, you can take in the entire city and bay. The unique landscape, surrounded by bays on both sides, along with the twinkling city lights, creates a truly captivating view.
Around sunset in particular, it’s very romantic to watch the sky gradually darken from dusk as the city lights come on one by one! However, it’s also more crowded at this time, so if you want to enjoy the night view at a leisurely pace, you may want to avoid peak hours. -

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.
Lake Toya is a well-known volcanic lake in Japan. Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is quite spectacular. The calm lake reflects the white sky and distant mountains, creating a beautiful view〜 You can cycle along the lakeshore or take a sightseeing cruise, and kayaks and swan boats are also available to rent, offering different ways to enjoy the lake scenery.
After exploring the lakeshore, stay at a nearby hot spring hotel and relax in the baths, enjoying a leisurely, carefree vacation! -

Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park
One of Japan’s first national parks, established in 1934. Stretching across Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, this vast park is made up of a chain of huge caldera volcanoes and is divided into two areas: the northern Kirishima area and the southern Kinkowan (Kagoshima Bay) area. In the northern Kirishima area, where more than 20 large and small volcanoes line up, highlights include landscapes that showcase nature’s grandeur, such as crater lakes and summit marshlands formed by volcanic activity.
Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park offers a rich variety of natural scenery. Along the way, you can enjoy spectacular volcanic terrain, lush green forests, and expansive lakes. The volcanoes and surrounding mountains create unique scenery full of natural beauty, and the magnificent landscape can be appreciated from every angle. This is a great place to visit for those who enjoy mountain climbing, hiking, and viewing lava formations!
