Lake Yamanaka Panorama-dai

A stunning viewpoint along Prefectural Route 730, stretching from Lake Yamanaka, one of the Fuji Five Lakes scattered across the northern foothills of Mt. Fuji on the Yamanashi side, to Mikuni Pass. From here, you can take in Lake Yamanaka below, Mt. Fuji beyond it, and even the Southern Alps on a clear day. The most magical time is at dusk, when the lake surface turns orange. The scenery is beautiful in every season: fresh greenery in spring and vibrant, refreshing views in summer.

The view is super wide open—you can see both Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka at the same time 👍👍
When the weather’s good, it’s seriously so gorgeous it looks like a postcard.
The breeze feels amazing, and it’s perfect for taking photos and checking in.
There’s also a café, so you can sip coffee while soaking in the scenery. Super chill!

The only full-scale mausoleum in Japan was built in 1893 in cooperation with the Qing government of China and overseas Chinese residents in Japan. Originally used as an elementary school for overseas Chinese living in Japan, the Confucius Mausoleum was later dedicated to the relics of Confucius. Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, is known as a Chinese philosopher and God of learning.

It's a bit different from your typical tourist spot, but if you're into history, culture, education, or architecture, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Nagasaki Shinchi Chinatown

During the Edo period, Nagasaki was actively engaged in trade with China, and the land reclaimed from the sea to build a baggage warehouse to store goods from Chinese ships was called Shinchikurasho. Today, a monument to the Shinchikurasho site stands in the center of Chinatown.

You can find unique dishes here that blend Japanese and Chinese flavors, like Nagasaki's famous Sara Udon and Champon. These foods have a Chinese touch but also local twists—definitely worth trying.

You need a lot of patience when visiting Disneyland. Whether it's for rides or ordering food at restaurants, be prepared for long lines. It can get pretty exhausting.

Himeji Castle

This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.

In winter, the lake is completely frozen so you can't take a boat ride. Instead, we tried ice fishing, and the fish we caught were fried into tempura by the shop. Add some shichimi spice and pair it with a cold beer—just perfect! 👍

Yutoku Inari Shrine

This shrine is one of Japan’s great Inari shrines along with Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto and Kasama Inari Shrine in Ibaraki. In 1687, Hizen Kajima Domain's lord, Nabeshima Naotomo, was marrying Kazanin Manko-hime from Kyoto, when she requested the deity, Inari Okami, who the imperial court offered prayers to, to be imparted and this shrine was built.

When I visited, I just thought the shrine's architecture was unique. Since there weren't many people, it felt pretty average. Later, I found out it's as famous as the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto...
