The parking lot is ridiculously huge, but there are barely any visitors inside the park. The upside is you don't have to wait in line for rides, but with so few people, the amusement area just doesn't feel lively or fun.

There's a dedicated hand-drip coffee bar here, so you can watch the baristas brew your coffee right in front of you. You can also ask them anything about coffee—if you speak the language, that is! 😄 Plus, ordering is done with table service, and the staff all seem carefully selected—they're great in every way. This kind of special service isn't offered at other locations.

Kinrin Lake

Kinrin Lake is one of many popular tourist spots in the hot springs town of Yufuin. The lake sits under Mt. Yufu and as such was called takemoto-no-ike (lit. “lake under the mountain”) for years. However, it was renamed to Kinrin, or “golden scales”, by Mori Kuso in 1884 when he saw the golden glimmering scales of fish as they swam at sunset.

When the sunlight hits the lake, the whole surface sparkles. With the mist floating around, it really feels like a fairyland.

No wonder it's a world-class heritage site. You really have to go up to the observation deck to see just how beautiful Shirakawa-go is.
