The biggest highlight is the DIY experience. Decorating your own fan is pretty fun, and it's great for couples or families with kids. You can also take it home as a souvenir after you're done.

The little shops in the mall near the park are super convenient.
You can grab food, drinks, and pick up souvenirs all in one place.
After you’re done at Universal, it’s fun to walk around there again.
The overall vibe is nice, and it’s a pretty good spot to sit down, relax, and have a meal.

The whole place has a super slow, relaxing pace. It doesn’t feel like one of those islands packed with tourists. Instead, it has this quiet, upscale resort vibe.
It’s surrounded by bays and tiny islands, and taking a sightseeing boat feels incredibly soothing. The water is so calm, and it’s super photogenic.

The museum has a bit of a vintage vibe and a lot of character. It doesn’t feel overly commercial.

Overall, this is a classic Tokyo spot. Even if you're not a huge animal lover, it's definitely worth visiting at least once.

Seeing those columnar joints from the sea is truly spectacular. Photos really can’t capture what it feels like in person.

Aizuya Lalaport EXPOCITY

Founded in 1933, Aizuya is a legendary takoyaki shop with over 90 years of history. Originally, it served “Radio-yaki”-batter balls filled with beef tendon and konnyaku-but when the founder added octopus inspired by Akashi-yaki from Hyogo, takoyaki as we know it today was born.

Their takoyaki is all about the original flavor.
The outside is soft and bouncy, not the crispy type.
It tastes great even without any sauce, and it feels light and not greasy.

Portion size is just right, and the food comes out pretty fast.
It’s super convenient if you just want a quick bite or something to eat while walking around.
When your legs are tired from shopping and you grab a tray here, it’s the kind of place that instantly lifts your mood.

Overall it felt really great! The ski area is pretty big with lots of runs to choose from, so both beginners and intermediate/advanced skiers can have a good time.

The scenery is gorgeous too. On clear days you can see the whole mountain range, and it’s an awesome place for photos.

The facilities are quite complete. Renting gear and grabbing food is really easy, so you don’t need to bring a ton of stuff.

It’s also not as crowded as the major ski resorts, so the whole experience feels more relaxed.

All in all, the vibe is super laid-back. If you want to ski but don’t want to spend all day waiting in line, I highly recommend this place!

Hashi no Furusato-kan WAKASA

A famous traditional craft from the Wakasa region of Fukui Prefecture: Wakasa lacquered chopsticks. They are decorated with materials such as eggshells and seashells, then coated with multiple layers of lacquer and carefully polished to create intricate patterns. This technique has been passed down since the Edo period, and today Wakasa chopsticks account for 80% of Japan’s lacquered chopstick production. The place to fully experience the appeal of these 400-plus-year-old Wakasa chopsticks is Hashi no Furusato-kan WAKASA.

Such a fun place with a strong Japanese vibe. They display all kinds of beautiful, delicate chopsticks, and you can even make your own custom pair!
Great as a keepsake or as a gift. The whole place is clean and super photogenic.
If you’re into Japanese culture or hands-on crafts, you’ll definitely love it here.
