Lake Toya is right in the center of Shikotsu-Toya National Park in Hokkaido. There's a small island in the lake, and it's a famous hot spring resort. The hot springs here are sulfate springs, which are great for blood circulation and beautiful skin.

Kinrin Lake
Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.
Kinrin Lake feels like a dreamy fairyland—it's absolutely enchanting and mesmerizing. At dusk, the lake sparkles under the sunset, creating a breathtaking and radiant scene. The beautiful light is dazzling and truly stunning. It's just gorgeous! 👍

teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM
The art collective teamLab is known for creating immersive, interactive experiences using cutting-edge digital technology. At teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com, step into the sheer awe of art that blurs the line between observer and the art itself. The museum saw a major renovation in January 2025, expanding event space by about 1.5 times and adding an outdoor area.
teamLab Planets is totally different from traditional art museums. You can actually interact with the artworks, and it's a super popular spot for taking photos and checking in. It's amazing to get immersed in the art here. Loved it!
