The broth at Kinryu Ramen is delicious and the portions are generous. Plus, you get unlimited side dishes! I always make sure to grab a bowl whenever I'm in Osaka.

CROSS Suites Tokyo Asakusa
CROSS Suites Tokyo Asakusa opened in July 2026 as the first property under CROSS Suites, a new brand from ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS. This apartment hotel is built around the idea of living like a local while getting to know Asakusa’s community and culture.
The hotel does a great job of blending traditional Asakusa elements with modern design, and the common areas are also very photogenic. The overall design is youthful and distinctive. Staying here doesn't feel like you're just a tourist; it feels a little like you're actually living in Asakusa. My first stay left quite a strong impression.

Minamiza Theatre
A theater that features Kabuki which originated in Kyoto. Kabuki is said to have originated from the “Kabuki Odori” dance, invented by a woman named Izumo no Okuni. As the dance started to popularize during the early Edo period, around this time the Minami-za also opened. It is Japan’s oldest theater with more than 400 years of history located in the same place.
The performance at Kyoto Minamiza was truly wonderful. With my friend translating each scene for me in real time, I could not only follow the story but also better appreciate the actors’ incredible skills. I got a lot out of the experience.

Lake Shikaribetsu
Lake Shikaribetsu, located at an elevation of approximately 810 meters, is Hokkaido’s highest-altitude lake and the only natural lake within Daisetsuzan National Park. Formed around 30,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption that dammed a river, it is known as the “Celestial Lake” and is surrounded by small volcanic peaks like Mount Tenbo and Mount Hakuun. The pristine landscape, featuring untouched forests of Sakhalin fir, Yezo spruce, and birch trees, is a stunning highlight.
Not many people, which is a huge plus.
Zero pressure of being surrounded by tourists.
