Himeji Castle
This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.
Himeji Castle's main keep is the largest and most complete in Japan. It's truly a precious historical site.
Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
Just a heads-up: No matter where you buy your tickets, you can't enter during special operating hours, like New Year's Eve events or private corporate events!
Nishitetsu Grand Hotel
Nishitetsu Grand Hotel has been representing Fukuoka City since its foundation in 1969. It is located on the corner of Meiji dori and Tenjin Nishi dori, very close to the Tenjin subway station. A door man welcomes guests at the entrance and the hotel has a sophisticated and dignified atmosphere.
Nishitetsu Grand Hotel is in the Tenjin shopping area—such a great location! The room rates are affordable and the breakfast is pretty good too. No wonder it gets such high ratings! 👍
Meigetsudo "Hakata Torimon"
"Hakata Dontaku" is a festival held on May 3 and 4 every year, during which the city bustles with people. The people who parade around in Dontaku costumes, playing the shamisen, flutes and drums are called "Torimon" in the Hakata dialect, and the name "Hakata Torimon" is derived from this.
Hakata Torimon makes a great souvenir—there are so many options, and everyone loves them, no matter their age! The ones made with domestic red beans are especially good, kind of like kusa mochi or mochi with sesame. 👍
Engetsu Island
A landmark of the Nanki-Shirahama area, familiar as the subject of paintings, photographs, and postage stamps. The official name is “Takashima” but it’s commonly called “Engetsu-jima” because of the sea cave (hole) near the center of the island.
Engetsu Island is beautiful no matter when you visit, but it's especially stunning at sunset. You can really see the wonders of nature here.
