Universal Studios Japan is fun for all ages! Totally worth a visit—I actually think it's way more fun than Disney. There are so many themed areas and so many attractions that you can't do them all in one day. I spent from early morning until night and still wanted more.

Harbor View Park is one of my favorite parks. The whole place is beautiful, especially the English Rose Garden and the Fragrance Garden—they're just gorgeous. The park is pretty big, so it's also nice for a walk.

The rose garden at Yamashita Park is huge, and the roses are really beautiful. There's also a big cruise ship docked by the sea. The open view facing the ocean is so refreshing! I highly recommend this place.

A few years ago, I had lunch at 'Suzakaya' near Niigata Station while traveling in Niigata. A friend recommended a unique type of soba, and after reading this article, I realized it was the famous local 'hegi soba.' I still remember how chewy and delicious it was. Once the pandemic is over, I definitely want to go back and enjoy it again.

If you're in Niigata, you absolutely can't miss the sushi made with fresh fish like nanban shrimp from local waters and Koshihikari rice. I heard it's not just locals—lots of people from all over Japan and even overseas come here just to try it.

I remember going to the big annual festival at this shrine on August 15 a few years ago. The atmosphere was really impressive, and I even got splashed with water! I was so caught up in the excitement that I forgot to take any photos. Recently, I had the chance to visit this historic shrine again. After reading an article on Good Luck Trip, I learned that this place has deep ties to sumo and Tadataka Ino, who drew the first map of Japan. Now I want to go back and check out the spots mentioned in the article.

LUMINE EST has a super stylish exterior that really catches your eye. Inside, there are all kinds of shops, mostly trendy fashion brands—it's a great place to shop. There are also plenty of restaurants, with Chinese, Western, and Japanese food. Plus, they're open late, which is super convenient.

Ikuta Ryokuchi is beautiful in spring, with cherry blossoms and lots of other flowers in full bloom. It's perfect for a walk. The D51 steam locomotive, nicknamed 'DEKOchan' by train fans, on display in front of the Kawasaki Municipal Science Museum for Youth is also really cool!

Today I visited Naritasan Shinshoji Temple with friends. It takes over an hour by train to get there, but it’s totally worth it. This place is not only a popular spot for worship, but the huge park is also really beautiful and makes for a lovely walk. There are lots of restaurants along the approach selling grilled eel rice, and the smell of charcoal-grilled eel is everywhere. Eel rice has always been a favorite among visitors here and is a local specialty you shouldn't miss.
