I originally just stopped by since it was on the way, but it unexpectedly became one of my favorite spots on this trip.

I really liked the way the museum and Japanese garden are combined. The museum exhibits are distinctive, and you can not only enjoy the artwork but also take your time strolling through the garden.

The whole place felt incredibly relaxing.

Dazaifu Government Office Ruins

The ancient administrative center that oversaw all of Kyushu from the late 7th century to the 12th century. During the ritsuryo system, Dazaifu, known as the "Far Court" (To no Mikado), was established here, and its grand government office managed diplomacy, military affairs, and politics. The site once held a prestigious complex of government buildings, including the main hall, central gate, and corridors. Today, its presence remains quietly in the foundation stones scattered across the lawn, telling visitors of the site’s former grandeur.

The more you walk, the more charm it has.
The wide grassy area with the outlines of the ruins makes for a really pleasant walk when the weather is nice. It’s great for taking a slow stroll and imagining what it used to look like.
There aren’t many people, so it’s perfect if you want to avoid crowds and just enjoy a quiet walk.

Strawberry lovers will absolutely love this place 🍓. You can pick your own strawberries, and they’re fresh and sweet, so it’s really fun to eat them as you go. The cafe next door also specializes in strawberry desserts, and the strawberry parfaits and cakes look almost too good to be true. They’re great for photos too. It does get more crowded on weekends, so I’d recommend going early or you might have to wait. Overall, it’s a perfect combo of sweets and a fun experience, and spending half a day here feels just right.

The sound of the icebreaker ramming through the ice is weirdly soothing—and kind of thrilling.
Watching the drift ice float in toward the deck was absolutely breathtaking.

Our tour guide left us here for the whole afternoon. The prices are higher than in the city, so I'm not sure why this was on the itinerary.

My very first trip abroad was to Tokyo, and Tokyo Tower left a deep impression on me. Even though the new Skytree has opened, nothing can replace the special place Tokyo Tower holds in my heart.

I joined the guided tour for JPY 500 and learned there's so much to know about making great beer—even pouring it is an art! At the end, you get two free beers to taste. Totally worth it.

I visited before the fire. It's a really important spot in Okinawa. Shurijo Castle is well organized and covers a huge area—it takes about two to three hours to see everything.
