I'm mizuiro_lawson, traveling around with a zoom on my bike! When I walk, I'm as slow as a turtle, so I use an engine to warp around! I always want to go to Nagano on weekends.

Amaharashi Coast
Amaharashi Coast, located just a 5-minute walk from JR Himi Line's Amaharashi Station, is a coveted spot to visit in summer for its pristine, swimmable beaches and crystal-clear waters drawing crowds from far and wide.
The view is amazing! There’s a roadside station attached, so it’s easy to stop by even if you’re driving!
It’s a bit disappointing when the weather is bad 😢
Akihabara Electric Town
Large and small electronics shops cluster in this prominent shopping town in Japan. Nicknamed as Akiba, it is a popular spot not only domestically but also globally. Home appliances, PCs, smartphones, the latest digital devices, of course, but animations, games, figurines, model trains and other pop culture items are gathered here.
I took some photos of the parts that still keep that old-school electric town vibe.
These days, Akihabara feels a lot more centered on subculture, so the traces of its old electronics district are fading. That feels a little sad, honestly.
Suzuhiro Kamaboko Museum
This is a museum run by Suzuhiro, a long-established fish paste store established in 1865. Visitors can enjoy learning about various aspects of kamaboko, from its history to its ingredients and nutrition.
If you visit the Kamaboko Museum, it’s also worth stopping by the restaurant and gift shop next door!
Of course, I bought some kamaboko to take home!
Yushima Tenmangu Shrine
Yushima Tenmangu Shrine, located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, is one of the three major Tenjin shrines in the Kanto region. Its official name is "Yushima Tenmangu," but it has been affectionately called "Yushima Tenjin" since ancient times.
Yushima Tenmangu is known as the shrine of learning.
During exam season, it gets crowded with lots of visitors. The ema plaques are filled with wishes for school entrance exams and certification tests.
So many real, heartfelt hopes on display. I hope everyone passes!!
Kanda Myojin
Kanda Myojin is a historical shrine famous for bestowing its blessings in marriage and business prosperity, enhancing luck in battle while warding off danger and disaster. Located in Tokyo's central business district, many firms come to worship at the beginning of the year, as this shrine cannot be ignored if seeking fortune in business.
A shrine right in the middle of the city with a pretty flashy vibe. It’s easy to stop by since it’s within walking distance of Akihabara and Ochanomizu!
