Shibuya Stream
Offices and commercial facilities opened in this 35-story high-rise built in 2018 as part of a redevelopment project encompassing the former platforms and tracks of Tokyu Toyoko Line Shibuya Station and the surrounding Shibuya River area. The upper floors house offices, with a hotel, event hall, sports activity court, shops, and restaurants below.
This is a new landmark in Shibuya. With the nearby Shibuya River improvements, the whole area has a romantic vibe.
Roppongi Hills
This multipurpose commercial complex opened as a Roppongi landmark in 2003. In the middle of Roppongi Hills stands Mori Tower, a 54-story skyscraper office building rising 238 meters from the ground.
You can get a 360-degree view here. It's an awesome spot to see Tokyo's night scenery.
Akashi Kaikyo Bridge
The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connects Honshu and Awaji Island. It is known as the world's longest suspension bridge, with a total length of 3,911 meters and a distance of 1,991 meters between the two main towers. Together with the Onaruto Bridge, it connects the Kansai area to Shikoku, and is a popular tourist route.
Standing on the glass floor at Maiko Walkway gives you a totally unique feeling. It's a pretty cool experience.
Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan)
Mt. Rokko (Rokkosan), the prominent peak of the Rokko Mountains, is 931 meters above sea level. With easy access by cable car to the top of the mountain, the mountain is full of various facilities that offer physical activities, romantic nightscapes, and more.
Riding the retro cable car up the mountain was great—the temperature was cool and comfortable. Besides enjoying the alpine plants, you can also catch a beautiful night view of Osaka once it gets dark.
Sandan-kyo
Designated as a national Special Place of Scenic Beauty, Sandan-kyo is known as a remarkable secluded site in Western Japan. The entire ravine measures about 16 kilometers.
Walking through Sandan-kyo really reminded me of Guilin in Guangxi, China. It's amazing to see what nature can create.
