Iga Ueno Castle
In 1585, Sadatsugu Tsutsui built a castle on the plateau where Heirakuji Temple had been located. In 1608, after Sadatsugu's territory was confiscated by Ieyasu Tokugawa, Takatora Todo, who was said to be a master of castle construction, entered Iga. He renovated and expanded the castle to focus on fortifying the western side of it so that it could counter a battle against the Osaka and Toyotomi forces. At that time, a five-story castle tower was built, but it collapsed due to a great storm in 1612. After that, turrets, a main gate, and a palace were built, but the castle tower was never rebuilt.
A full day trip in Iga!
Iga Ueno Castle, the Ninja Museum, ninja show, and strolling around the castle town—such a perfect and fulfilling day! ✨ -

Dōgo Onsen Honkan
Boasting a history of roughly 3,000 years, Dōgo Onsen is considered by many to be Japan’s oldest hot spring. Its iconic symbol, the Dōgo Onsen Honkan, was rebuilt in 1894 as a public bathhouse and is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. After six years of extensive preservation and restoration work, the wooden three-story bathhouse fully reopened in 2024, offering a renewed experience designed to soak in the historical beauty up close.
There's an old steam train parked in the small square in front of the station, and you can even soak your feet in a foot bath right outside.

Shibuya Center Street
A few steps from the Hachiko exit of JR Shibuya Station, known for “Hachiko”, the iconic bronze Akita dog statue, and a quick walk across the Scramble intersection will bring you to the shopping area known as "Shibuya Center Shopping District".
Every time I visit Tokyo, I always come here to check out the latest trends and happenings.
