The quality of the hot spring water here is excellent and has great therapeutic benefits. Soaking in the onsen really helps relieve muscle fatigue and relax both body and mind. It's especially helpful after a long day of traveling.

Asuwa River Cherry Tree Promenade
The Asuwa River flows through central Fukui City. The rows of cherry trees lining the embankment, loved by locals as a walking course, are a popular cherry blossom viewing spot and have been selected as one of Japan’s 100 best cherry blossom spots.
The kind of place where you immediately want to keep taking pictures. Both sides of the river are lined with cherry blossoms, and when they’re in full bloom, it’s honestly incredible. So pink everywhere.
The path is flat and easy to walk, so it’s really nice for a stroll while enjoying the blossoms. You’ll also see lots of locals jogging or walking their dogs, which gives the whole area a very everyday, relaxed feel. -
Michi-no-Eki Itoman
One of Okinawa’s largest roadside stations sits along National Route 331, about a 20-minute drive from Naha Airport. The entire property sings with the fishing town character of Itoman, complete with a jaw-dropping variety of succulently fresh seafood, local fruits and vegetables, and regional specialties.
This is a lively roadside station in southern Okinawa. They have all kinds of local fruits, veggies, and seafood at really reasonable prices. You can also find Okinawa-exclusive souvenirs here. There are plenty of food stalls too—try the sea grapes or bitter melon dishes for something unique. The place is clean, parking is easy, and it's perfect for a quick stop to restock during your trip.
