Kenroku-en
Kenroku-en was founded and developed for about 180 years by the Maeda clan lord in Kaga, which is a strolling-style landscape garden and one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan.
The flowing water and stone lanterns in the garden have such a Zen vibe. It's perfect for a slow stroll and really taking in the atmosphere.
Goryokaku Park
Goryokaku, a Western-style fortress, was built in 1866 and served as the political capital of Hokkaido until the new Meiji government took over. It later became a popular tourist attraction after it was opened to the public as "Goryokaku Park" in 1914 and was designated as a national special historic site.
When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the whole park feels softly wrapped in pink flowers, creating a truly beautiful and romantic scene.
Ameyoko Shopping Street
The Ameyoko Shopping Street, affectionately known as "Ameyoko," stretches approximately 500m between JR Ueno Station and JR Okachimachi Station, with around 400 shops lining the street. It features a variety of businesses, including food and confectionery, clothing, general goods, and jewelry stores.
It's been a long time since I visited Japan, so of course I had to go on a shopping spree at Ameyoko when I came to Tokyo.
