Ginza Inz
A traditional shopping mall that was established in 1958 and is representative of Ginza. Located under the elevated highway and situated between the first basement and the second floor. It consists of three buildings, namely, Ginza Inz 1, 2, and 3.
The first time I visited Tokyo with a tour group, we stayed at the Ginza Daiichi Hotel. At night, our guide took us to eat at a restaurant under the elevated highway. That was over 20 years ago!
Lake Biwa
Lake Biwa, which belongs to the first-grade Yodo River system and is located in the center of Shiga Prefecture, occupies an area of about 670 k㎡, or about one-sixth of the prefecture's land area, and is the largest lake in Japan in terms of both area and water storage capacity, with 27.5 billion tons of water pouring in through rivers from the surrounding mountains of Ibuki, Suzuka, and Hira, all of which are over 1,000 meters high.
The Japanese call Lake Biwa the 'Mother Lake.' It's a place you have to visit at least once in your life. There's a park that's 4.8 kilometers long around it. Having coffee and taking a walk here is really relaxing.
Izumo Taisha
Izumo Taisha is one of the most revered, ancient shrines in Japan, along with Ise jingu Shrine. Its records go as far back as writings from the Kojiki, Japan’ oldest historical account compiled in 712. The deity enshrined here is Okuninushi no Okami, who is known as the deity of love and marriage.。
It's not just the sacred straw rope that stands out—the main gate is also really impressive.
