A few years ago, I joined a Tokyo tour that included a Tokyo Bay cruise. Our ship was scheduled to depart at 4:30, but we got stuck in a huge traffic jam. The tour guide was super nervous and kept calling the cruise company. We finally made it to Hinode Pier at 4:31. The guide was so relieved, you could see the sweat! 😓

Fukuyama City Zoo
Fukuyama City Zoo, located in Hiroshima Prefecture’s Fukuyama City, sits right beside the scenic Tomiya Pond. Admission is affordable-free for junior high school students and younger, and just 520 yen for visitors aged 15 and up-making it an easy place to visit.
Super cute and really affordable! The ticket price is super cheap, and there are quite a few animals like giraffes, lions, flamingos, and monkeys. Kids will absolutely love it. The zoo isn't very big, but it's easy to walk around and not tiring at all. Everything is kept really clean. You can get pretty close to the animals, so it's fun to take your time and snap photos. Overall, it's a warm and relaxing place—perfect for families or couples to stroll around and enjoy a date!

Rishiri Island
A small island floating in the Sea of Japan, about 50 km west of Wakkanai City at the northern tip of Hokkaido. The almost perfectly round island spreads out around Mt. Rishiri, which rises 1,721 m above sea level, and most of the island is designated as part of Rishiri-Rebun-Sarobetsu National Park. The island has a circumference of Approx. 60 km, and you can drive around it in about 1.5 hours or cycle all the way around it.
I had the local sea urchin rice bowl, and it was insanely fresh. It practically melted in my mouth.
