Odori Park at night looks completely different from how it does during the day! As the lights came on one by one, the entire park looked especially beautiful. Walking along the streets at night felt really romantic.

From a distance, the Sapporo TV Tower and the surrounding lights blended together with the nighttime cityscape, making every photo look great. Even just taking a walk felt especially pleasant.

Although Hokkaido nights are a little cold, the lights were so beautiful that I couldn’t help staying a while longer to really take in the atmosphere of Sapporo at night.

Kakinoha Sushi Tanaka, Nara Headshop

Kakinoha Sushi (sushi on the persimmon leaf) has been a local cuisine in southern Nara for more than 200 years. Famous shops dot the prefecture, keeping the food culture and the traditional taste alive. Kakinoha Sushi Tanaka is one of them with 120-year history since 1903. They have shops mainly in Nara and Kansai Region, also extending into Tokyo and Aichi.

While in Nara, I made a special trip to the Nara main store of Kakinoha Sushi Tanaka to try this traditional food that is so characteristic of Nara. The most distinctive thing about kakinoha sushi is that the sushi is wrapped in persimmon leaves, giving it an old-fashioned look.

After unwrapping the persimmon leaf, you can smell a faint, fresh plant fragrance. The leaf wrapped around the sushi gives the rice and fish a natural aroma, adding a very distinctive flavor. The rice has a slightly tart taste, and together with the fish, it's refreshing and not too heavy.

Besides seeing the deer on this trip to Nara, I also came specifically to try this local food. It was really interesting to travel while learning about Nara's traditional food culture! I'd like to have it again the next time I visit Nara.

You definitely have to check out the very distinctive Oasis 21 when visiting Nagoya! The biggest attraction is the huge glass roof above, called the “Spaceship-Aqua.” From a distance, it looks like a spaceship floating over the city, and the design is really unique.

After it's lit up at night, it becomes a completely different scene. The transparent glass walkway and city lights go beautifully together, and you can enjoy the surrounding night view as you walk along it. The atmosphere is very beautiful.

Besides shopping and enjoying good food on this trip to Nagoya, I also stopped by Oasis 21 to walk around and take some photos.

On a trip to Sapporo, of course you have to make time to browse a drugstore! This time I visited SATUDORA, and it really had a wide variety of products, including common medicines, health products, daily necessities, and beauty products. Browsing the store felt like a treasure hunt.

As I walked around, I found quite a few things I wanted to buy, especially medicines and household items I normally use. Stocking up on everything during a trip to Japan was really satisfying.
