Lake Mashu
Situated in the eastern part of Hokkaido, u is a caldera lake located within the "Akan-Mashu National Park". Encompassing an area of about 19.6 km² with a circumference of roughly 20 km, the environs of the vast lake have been designated as a special protection area. Due to the steep cliffs surrounding it, direct access to the lake is restricted. However, several observation decks set up around the lake offer panoramic views of its serene surface.
If you can see the whole of Lake Mashu, you should seriously go buy a lottery ticket.
This lake is ridiculously clean—so clean you’ll start wondering if someone’s secretly scrubbing it when no one’s looking. -

Suntory Yamazaki Distillery
The whiskey distillery is known as the home of Japanese whiskey. The founder of Suntory, Shinjiro Torii, started construction in 1923, hoping to create a Japanese whiskey that would suit the delicate taste of the Japanese people. The distillery has been producing a wide variety of whiskeys in Yamazaki, where he sought clean water and a natural environment suitable for maturing whiskey.
Make sure to book a reservation if you want to visit. During the tour, you can use a Chinese audio guide, and at the end, you can pay to sample some whiskey.

Abeno Harukas
Opened in 2014, the 300-meter-high skyscraper is a mix-use complex building. From the two basement floors to the 14th level you’ll find Kintetsu Department Store (Main Store Abeno Harukas) and the Abeno Harukas Dining restaurant floors.
There's an observation deck in this upscale office building where you can enjoy the night view. It's pretty similar to the setup at Taipei 101.
