Sanin History Museum

It used to be the city hall, and it's totally free to enter. If you're passing by, it's definitely worth checking out. They have exhibits about Yonago Castle, the port's development, and San'in culture.

Ueno Park
Ueno Park, officially known as "Ueno Onshi Park," is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Construction Bureau, the park spans an impressive area of 530,000 square meters and has a rich history.
When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Japanese people picnic and drink under the trees. The park gets super crowded, which kind of takes away from the fun of flower viewing.
Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.
I only realized how much I bought after getting back to the hotel! There are so many exclusive items—Minions, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Super Mario. I just couldn't resist.
Rainbow Bridge
“Rainbow Bridge,” an approximately 800-meter-long suspension bridge, is an iconic part of Tokyo architecture that connects Odaiba and Shibaura. At night the bridge is beautifully illuminated, and many people visit it to take pictures of one of Tokyo’s most well-known night views. The bridge has a dual structure: the upper section functions as an Metropolitan expressway, while the lower section is used by a general roadway, the Yurikamome Line, and a walking path.
I think this is one of the best spots in Tokyo.
Book1st Shinjuku Store
This is the largest bookstore located near the west exit of Shinjuku Station. Found inside the uniquely-shaped “Mode Gakuen Cocoon Tower” building, this store has around 900,000 items across the tower’s 1st and 2nd basement floors.
The bookstore is really well organized. Even though there are tons of different books, it's super easy to find what you're looking for.
Okunitama-jinja Shrine
Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. Among those, the shrine blessing love and marriage is especially well-known.
Most torii gates at Japanese shrines are made of wood, bronze, stone, or concrete, but the one here is really unique—it's made of granite! There are also lots of other shrines on the grounds, including ones for the sake god and for safe childbirth, among others.
Shinjuku Suehiro-tei
Also called an entertainment hall, Suehiro-tei is an auditorium for traditional Japanese performances such as Rakugo and Manzai, as well as lectures. Sense the history in this wooden structure, where many paper lanterns highlight the names of performers.
Come and experience traditional Japanese culture!
Shirahama Onsen
One of the three oldest hot springs in Japan along with Dogo Onsen and Arima Onsen. In this hot spring resort, each hotel and Japanese inn has a unique source spring with slightly different qualities and health effects.
There are hot springs, a beach, sunsets, and great food. It's an awesome place for a vacation.
