Rusutsu Resort
This expansive, all-season resort-one of the largest in Hokkaido-features ski areas, golf courses, an amusement park, hotels, and more across its vast grounds.
Came here to ski in winter and the vibe was awesome. The snowy scenery is beautiful, and there are lots of runs—fun for both beginners and experienced skiers.
Maruya Honten Osaka Umekita Green Place Branch
Maruya Honten, a famous hitsumabushi restaurant whose main location is in Nagoya, opened a new branch in March 2025. This first Kansai branch is located inside the Umekita Green Place commercial complex, and one reason for its popularity is its excellent location, directly connected to Osaka Station and just a 1-minute walk away.
The grilled eel was super fragrant—slightly charred on the outside and really tender inside. The sauce isn’t overly sweet, and with the white rice it goes down so smoothly. Every bite was consistently solid.
The portion doesn’t look flashy, but it was actually pretty filling.

This bar and dining in Niigata City is known for great food and plenty of entertainment. It’s a convenient 4-minute walk from Niigata Station, the main Hokuriku terminal served by the Shinkansen, and is open from 8 p.m. until early morning, making it easy to drop by for both locals and visitors. The food menu is famous for quality that goes beyond the usual bar fare. Authentic oven-baked pizzas that rival specialty shops and seasonal pasta dishes make the Italian options especially popular.
The vibe here is super chill—not too noisy, and the lighting is just right. It's perfect for hanging out with friends or going on a date. The cocktails are on the delicate side, not too strong or overly sweet, so they're really easy to drink.
