It's the deepest lake in Japan. Every visitor rushes to take a photo with the Tatsuko statue.

CROSS GATE KANAZAWA
CROSS GATE KANAZAWA is located about a two-minute walk from the Kanazawa Port Gate (West Gate) of Kanazawa Station. This mixed-use commercial complex is built around the concept of “Premium Foods and Restaurants.” The first floor features cafes, specialty sweets shops, and food shops, making it a convenient place to take a break between sightseeing stops or pick up souvenirs.
It’s not the kind of large shopping center where you can spend the whole day browsing. It’s more of an integrated space combining accommodations, dining, and everyday living. The restaurants range from Japanese to international cuisine. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a leisurely meal, it feels a little less rushed here than inside the station.

Bamboo Forest at Wakayama Farm
Drive about 1.5 hours north from Tokyo. In Utsunomiya-just 50 minutes from Tokyo Station by shinkansen-you’ll find a farm with a vast bamboo grove. Its lush greenery and quiet calm make it feel like you’ve stepped into a story. This one-of-a-kind, breathtaking bamboo forest is also frequently used as a filming location for movies and commercials. Cosplay photo shoots are welcome too, so if you’re interested, apply in advance via the reservation form.
The Bamboo Forest at Wakayama Farm is truly soothing.
The bamboo sways gently, and the sound of the wind feels so soft.
Walking through it naturally makes you slow down. You don’t have to think about anything—just being there feels so comfortable.

Towel Museum
A unique museum in Imabari, Japan’s leading towel-producing city, that shares towel lifestyles and towel culture. Visitors can see the towel-making process up close and enjoy exhibits that blend towels with art. In addition to permanent exhibitions such as Moomin and Hawaiian quilts, the museum hosts a variety of special exhibitions showcasing towel art.
At first I thought it was just a place that sold towels, but it turned out to have way more to see than I expected. You can watch how towels are made, and it was pretty educational.
