Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street
Located just one street away from the main thoroughfare facing the Otaru Canal, Sakaimachi-dori flourished during the Meiji and early Showa periods, becoming Otaru's main street.
This shopping street has preserved many old buildings and traditional-style shops, giving the whole area a nostalgic vibe.
GLION MUSEUM
Located in Osaka Port, one of the leading international trading ports in western Japan, this museum utilizes warehouses from the port. The sturdy red brick warehouses, built nearly 100 years ago, hold significant value as modern cultural heritage, and the atmosphere of the surrounding 3,000 square meter area exudes the charm of a bygone era, reminiscent of the streetscapes of London or New York.
They display a lot of rare and valuable vintage cars here, and each one has its own unique history and story.
Kasama Inari Shrine
Kasama Inari Shrine, located in Kasama City in central Ibaraki Prefecture, is said to have been built in 651 during the Asuka Period, in the reign of Emperor Kotoku. Along with Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto and Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga, it is known as one of Japan's three most famous Inari shrines.
This shrine is even older than Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, with a history of over 1,000 years. It's also the most visited shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Lake Notoro
In eastern Hokkaido, on the westside of Abashiri City, Lake Notoro is known to be covered with crimson coral grass in fall. “Japan’s Best Sango Grass Habitat” has wooden boardwalks, making you feel like walking on a runway on the coral grass carpet.
You can see the beautiful coral grass as early as August, and it lasts until early October when winter begins. The coral grass only appears at low tide, so be sure to check the tide schedule ahead of time.
Kuju Flower Park
Kuju Mountain Range and the Five Peaks of Aso surround this park on Kuju Highland in Aso-Kuju National Park. Taste the fresh air and enjoy the vibrant flowers in each season.
Both kids and adults can enjoy the gentle breeze and the luxury of nature here.
