When I went to Okinawa in June, I knew there would be fireworks every Saturday, so I deliberately scheduled a visit to American Village on Saturday afternoon. Although it can’t compare to a large theme park like Disney, it has the cheerful atmosphere of a Western-style amusement park. There are also lots of claw machines inside, as well as plenty of great places to eat, have fun, browse, and shop waiting for everyone to explore.

Kouri Beach
Located on Kouri Island, just across the Kouri Ohashi Bridge from Yagaji Island in Nago City, this beach features pristine white sand stretching on either side of the bridge, offering a scenic view of Kouri Ohashi Bridge itself.
This beach is located on Kouri Island. As soon as I crossed the bridge, the endless ocean and beach came into view. Being here made me feel as though I had let go of all the stress from the office. Looking at the deep blue coast and vast sky, I felt as if I had been healed. I hope you’ll like it too.

Hokan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda)
Located in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, Hokan-ji is a Rinzai sect (Kennin-ji branch) temple most famous for its five-story pagoda, widely known as Yasaka no Tō. This iconic structure is one of Kyoto’s most recognizable landmarks. Legend points to the temples founding in 589 by Prince Shōtoku, with the current pagoda rebuilt in 1440 under Ashikaga Yoshinori. Designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.
You can see it from Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka in Kyoto. It looks very different from what we’ve seen on TV. Seeing it in person, you’ll be amazed by its grandeur and how it stands there. It’s a very traditional Japanese-style structure, and you can see the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship in it. I highly recommend everyone take a walk around and see it.

Nara Park
Nara Park is a scenic area surrounded by historical and cultural treasures, including Kasuga Taisha Shrine, Kohfukuji Temple, Todaiji Temple, the Nara National Museum, and Shoso-in. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty of its expansive greenery while exploring these iconic landmarks. The park is located in the center of the city, making it easily accessible to various tourist spots.
Nara Park really is a great place for the whole family to have fun. As soon as you get off, you’ll see deer everywhere around Nara Park. They’re not only inside the park—you may also come across some on the nearby roads. They’ll politely bow to you and ask for food, so please don’t hesitate to buy some deer crackers for them. But please don’t feed them anything other than deer crackers, as it could endanger their lives. Such a fun place!!! I recommend it to everyone.
