Shoji Lake Hotel
Situated along the shores of Lake Shoji, this hotel offers an exceptional location where the lake spreads out before you and Mount Fuji rises beyond it-allowing you to enjoy breathtaking views from guest rooms, the open-air baths, and the observation terrace.
Waking up early to the view of Mt. Fuji and the lake was pure happiness.
Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
The most important feature of Nagoya Castle is the two golden shachihoko on the roof. There's a large model on the first floor that you can check out.
Hida Takayama Old Townscape
Hida Takayama Old Townscape is said to be a town where the original landscape of Japan remains, as the streets from the Edo period still remain, and the charming town houses and noren (curtains) of old stores continue to be seen.
If you're visiting Takayama, you definitely have to walk through this old street. There are lots of local souvenirs and small crafts. If you love Japanese vibes, it's worth a stroll.
