Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama Ski Resort
Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama Ski Resort is located in Yamanouchi, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture. Known as a venue for the 1998 Winter Olympics, the resort offers 20 courses and dry, light snow known as “Platinum Powder.”
Since it's an Olympic venue, skiing here feels extra special—almost like you're in a competition! It's less crowded than some of the more popular resorts, so it's more comfortable and you hardly ever have to wait in line.
Tsurugajo Castle
The castle is a cherry blossom viewing spot and the symbol of Aizu Wakamatsu City. Its official name is Wakamatsu Castle, and it is also sometimes called Aizu Castle or Aizu Wakamatsu Castle. The castle tower, the only one in Japan covered with red tiles, preserves the beautiful appearance of the castle in the feudal era.
The weather wasn't great when I visited—there was a light drizzle and the cold wind was really biting. I only stayed for a short while before leaving.
Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium
This is a huge aquarium with dolphins, beluga whales, orcas, and other sea creatures in the North wing, and various tanks with live coral and other sea creatures in the South wing.
There are lots of amazing shows with dolphins, beluga whales, and more. It's a fantastic aquarium.
Great Britain Victorian Village
A small village nestled in Kameoka’s mountains that has recreated a good old English countryside. Without leaving Japan, you can feel the English village ambience.
It has a charming English countryside vibe. We happened to see a couple taking wedding photos there.
Michi-no-Eki, Fujiyoshida
This roadside station always ranks near the top, which is a wonderful spot to view Mt.Fuji straight ahead.
The Yoshida udon here is really delicious! The natural spring water is super refreshing and sweet. Plus, the view of Mt. Fuji is absolutely stunning.
