Asakusa Nakamise Shopping Street is very lively, with all kinds of small Japanese shops along the way and a strong traditional Japanese atmosphere~
It's very crowded here on holidays, and the entire street gets packed, but that also lets you experience its appeal as a tourist destination. You can find many unique snacks and souvenirs along the way. I bought some Japanese dango to try—the chewy texture paired with the sweet sauce was very Japanese. Browsing the shops and sampling local food along the way was a very fun experience!

Naritasan Park
On Naritasan temple grounds, there is an enormous park as big as 3.5 Tokyo Domes (165,000m2). In spring, 350 cherry trees blossom to delight visitors. The plum, wisteria, maple take turns to adorn the grounds throughout the year.
Naritasan Park is a great place for a relaxing stroll, with plenty of greenery, ponds, and small bridges. The scenery is beautiful, and walking through the park gives you a sense of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city~ Take your time enjoying the views along the paths, as each angle offers something different, all with the elegant atmosphere of a Japanese garden.

Chuson-ji Temple
Chuson-ji Temple, founded in 850 AD, owns over 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties and is also registered as a World Heritage site. This temple was built to transmit the powerful wish to comfort the spirits of those killed in the Tohoku War, no matter which side they were on.
Chuson-ji Hakusan Shrine has a strong sense of traditional Japanese culture. Walking between the temple and shrine, surrounded by trees along the way, the old buildings and natural scenery complement each other, making you naturally slow down and quietly appreciate the surroundings.
It's very solemn and peaceful here, and you can feel the depth of Japanese history and culture. It's a good place for a walk and to experience a traditional atmosphere. -

Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
Visiting the Tokyo Disneyland I’d always dreamed of really felt like stepping into a fairy-tale world! During the day, Cinderella Castle looked magnificent against the blue sky, as if I had walked into the kingdom of my dreams. But what impressed me most was the nighttime parade~ Dazzling lights, powerful music, and gorgeous floats appeared one after another, with all kinds of familiar classic characters right before my eyes. It was grand and magical, and I couldn’t look away! I couldn’t stop taking pictures either!
The moment the music started and the lights began to sparkle, I couldn’t help but feel moved~~ It felt like the fairy-tale world I had longed for as a child had truly come to life right in front of me! The parade wasn’t just gorgeous and lively—it had a kind of magic that completely drew me in and made me wish it would never end. It became the most unforgettable memory of my trip to Japan. You really have to visit Disneyland at least once in your life 🫶 -
