The most striking feature of the Aichi Prefectural Government Office is its unique exterior, which blends Western architecture with traditional Japanese style! The building features the Imperial Crown style, combining Western-style brick construction with a Japanese tiled roof to create a dignified and elegant appearance full of historic charm. The roof design is especially eye-catching, making you want to stop and admire it and take photos. If you’re visiting Nagoya, consider stopping by to experience the appeal of modern Japanese architecture. You can also plan a visit to the nearby Nagoya City Archives.

Osaka Castle Park
Nationally designated special historical site, Osaka Castle Ruin, and the surrounding area were renovated into an urban park. 13 buildings of important cultural properties including Osaka Castle Main Tower, watchtowers and gates dot the vast 261-acre premises.
I visited Osaka Castle Park during cherry blossom season. The park was filled with soft pink blossoms, attracting large crowds who came to enjoy the flowers. There was a constant stream of people along the paths, all capturing the spring scenery with their phones or cameras, their faces full of smiles. Some groups of friends gathered for picnics, while others sat quietly under the trees with art supplies, sketching the cherry blossoms and castle scenery before them. Everyone enjoyed the brief and beautiful cherry blossom season in their own way.

+Q +Q GOODS & +Q BEAUTY
Make a stop inside Shibuya Scramble Square to find +Q, a lifestyle and beauty-focused complex floors designed with a refined, trend-conscious style. The 6th floor is dedicated to beauty as +Q BEAUTY, while the 5th floor hosts +Q GOODS for fashion accesories. Each floor offers a sophisticated space designed to spark your next new look.
I stopped by the Shiseido counter at +Q BEAUTY on the 6th floor of Shibuya Scramble Square. With the friendly beauty associate's professional guidance, I finally bought the Elixir serum I'd been wanting for a long time. For skin that's beginning to mature, moisturizing, hydrating, and locking in moisture are key concerns. This serum has a rich texture without feeling sticky, and it felt good when I tried it. With the tax-free discount, I was happy to buy it and happy to use it too.

Ichibankuji Official Shop Sunshine City Main Store
Located inside “BANDAI NAMCO Cross Store Tokyo,” which brings together an arcade, shops, and a Gashapon corner, this is one of the largest Ichibankuji official shops in Japan.
When I passed by the Ichibankuji shop, I saw the cute Chibi Maruko-chan merchandise and couldn't resist paying to try my luck! I never expected to win a bag. I was so happy—it was a totally unexpected little surprise! The shop also has merchandise featuring many different cartoon characters. If you love collecting, stop by and try your luck when you're in the area〜
