Huis Ten Bosch
Japan's largest theme park features beautiful European-style streets and canals connected to the sea. Seasonal flowers and illuminations fill the park with color, while the latest attractions and a wide variety of events offer excitement and memorable experiences.
The buildings really look like a little European town, and the park is kept very clean, so it’s really pleasant to walk around.
It’s honestly huge, so be prepared to walk a lot until your legs get tired.
MOMO Terrace
Located in Kyoto’s Fushimi Ward-home to popular attractions like Fushimi Inari Shrine and Fushimi Momoyama Castle-MOMO Terrace is a large shopping mall beloved by locals and visitors alike. Fushimi is the most populous ward in Kyoto, and the mall caters to a wide range of age groups from the surrounding community.
The architecture is semi-open, which gives it a relaxed, small-town vibe.
Kinokuniya Books Shinjuku Main Store
Standing along Shinjuku Dori, at the East Exit of Shinjuku Station, is Kinokuniya, a major bookseller. Since its establishment in 1927, it has been a mainstay of Shinjuku, supporting its development in shopping. Completed in 1964, the current Kinokuniya Building wash chosen as a building of historical value by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 2017.
This is the biggest bookstore in Shinjuku, and maybe even in all of Japan. It's actually older than I expected.
Everyone is so quiet and focused on reading—love the atmosphere here.
Yomiuriland
Yomiuriland is the historic, representative amusement park of Tokyo that is located in the area spanning across Inagi, Tokyo and Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
The light displays are amazing!! The jewel lights totally live up to their name!!!
It was even more beautiful than I imagined, and the fountain show was really impressive.
Highly recommend—totally worth the trip!

Kochi Castle
Kochi Castle was built by Yamauchi Kazutoyo, the first feudal lord of the Tosa domain. It was first built in 1601 after ten years of construction, and unfortunately lost to a fire in 1727. The castle you see today was reconstructed in 1753. Kochi Castle is one of 12 since the Edo Period that still has its original castle tower, and is the only one that keeps both its original castle tower and main Honmaru Palace hall. The entire 15 buildings across its grounds are registered as a National Important Cultural Asset.
Kochi Castle is one of the 12 original castle towers among Japan's Top 100 Castles. It's really well preserved. There's an entrance fee only if you go inside the main tower, where you can get a great view of Kochi City. Definitely a must-visit spot in Kochi.
Yoro Valley
This valley was formed by the Yoro River and sits at the very center of the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture. Located just 2 hours from Tokyo, this lush, nature escape in Chiba is also home to many different hot springs. The climate is generally mild, making it a great hiking destination in winter, and also earning the title “the latest autumn leaves in Kanto”, as they come into full color from late November to early December.
I took the retro Kominato Railway train, and the station I arrived at was pretty small and old. It doesn't seem like a lot of tourists come here, and there aren't many shops or restaurants around. Luckily, I had some snacks with me to keep me going.
Kirishima Jingu Shrine
One of southern Kyushu's most prominent shrines, with a long history dating back to its founding in the 6th century. After being repeatedly destroyed by eruptions of the Kirishima mountains and rebuilt, it was moved to its present location more than 500 years ago. It enshrines Ninigi no Mikoto, a central figure in the myth of Japan's founding.
The place is filled with ancient, towering trees and it's really spacious. Thick fog covered everything, making it look like a beautiful fairyland. Definitely worth a visit!
