Sanuki Manno National Government Park

Located beside Lake Manno, Japan’s largest irrigation reservoir and a designated national scenic spot, Sanuki Manno National Government Park is the only national park in Shikoku. Spanning roughly 350 hectares, the park is a paradise of seasonal blooms-from tulips and nemophila in spring to hydrangeas and cosmos through autumn, making it a must-visit for budding flower fans.

The lawn is beautiful and really clean.
Perfect for a walk, just zoning out, or having a picnic.

There are flowers in spring and autumn leaves in fall, so if you come in the right season, it’s a big plus.
But the park is huge, so make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, or your feet will complain first 😂

It’s really huge and there are tons of brands.
You can easily end up spending half a day here without noticing.

The layout is pretty easy to walk, and there are plenty of food options.
When you get tired, there are places to sit and rest.

The discounts feel pretty good, especially for coats and sports brands — really worth it.
But when it gets crowded, it can feel quite packed, so I’d recommend coming on a weekday for a more comfortable visit.

Lake Sagami

This manmade lake was finished along with the dam in Sagamiko, the northwestern part of Kanagawa Prefecture. The lake was completed when Sagami Dam was built in 1947. This lake was the first built by a dam construction after WW2, that was still called a lake while being manmade. Today you’ll find cruise boats, rowboats, paddles boats and more.

Even though it's called a lake, it's actually formed by a dam. The cool summer weather makes it really comfortable to enjoy the natural surroundings.

Aburatsu Shopping districts

Aburatsu Shopping Street used to be the largest shopping street in southern Miyazaki Prefecture, but it has recently declined as the number of pedestrians declined. However, a full-scale revitalization effort began in 2013, and the town, which had been a shuttered street, has made a spectacular comeback. In 2016, it was selected by the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry as one of the "HABATAKU Shopping Districts 30".

There weren’t many people on the street, so it felt a bit quiet and lacking in energy.

Kushitei Lumine Ikebukuro

At this restaurant, you can enjoy kushiage using carefully selected ingredients at ease with a system of "leaving it up to the chef to decide". "Leaving it up to the chef" allows you to enjoy discovering new things about the ingredients with an authentic Osaka style.

The ingredients were fried super crispy with a thin, non-greasy batter. The chef keeps bringing out new dishes until you say stop.

Kansai International Airport

Many domestic and international flights carry nearly 28 million people a year at this western Japan’s entrance, Kansai International Airport. It is on an island about 5km off the coast of Senshu in Osaka Bay, famous as the world’s first marine airport on a completely man-made island. The airport code KIX is used as the familiar nickname “KIX.”

A lot of flights arrive at the same time, so the passport control line for foreigners was really long. It took almost two hours to get through immigration. I've been to Osaka many times, but this issue never seems to get better.

Go no Go Ueno 6 Chome Shop

The restaurant occupies all 3 floors of the building and you can experience the retro feel of a Japanese popular izakaya. The pride of the restaurant are dishes such as tendon skewers, boiled until very soft “Dote Suji Kushi”, fresh “Kisennuma Shark Heart Sashimi” which are perfect with Japanese sake.

The place is super busy, so food takes a while to come out, but you can smoke here. Even if you’re dining alone, you can still have a great time.

It's one of Japan's three most pristine rivers. There's been no human damage, so it still looks completely natural.
