Kabukicho

Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.

There are a lot of people here and the vibe is super lively, like a big city that never sleeps.
It’s more relaxed to walk around during the day.
At night all the flashing lights make the atmosphere really cool.

Fukui Prefectural Varve Museum

A rare museum even by global standards, the Fukui Prefectural Varve Museum exhibits varves formed over Approx. 70,000 years in Lake Suigetsu, one of the Mikata Five Lakes in Fukui Prefecture. Varves are the world-standard “ruler” for dating, characterized by striped layers of sediment. Inside, you can see an authentic varve core mined from Lake Suigetsu-an impressive 45 m long-displayed as beautiful stained glass.

Most of the exhibits focus on “varves”—layered sediments at the bottom of a lake that form like natural annual rings and can record tens of thousands of years of Earth’s history.

The exhibition space feels really well designed, with lighting and multimedia that make everything easier to understand. Even though it’s a geology-focused topic, it’s not boring at all. It actually feels pretty awe-inspiring and kind of calming.

Highly recommended if you’re into natural science or just want to see something a little different.

Perfect for anyone who wants to relax or go skiing! 🏔️ The hotel is right next to the ski area, so you can be on the slopes in just a few steps—super convenient.

The room was pretty spacious, clean, and comfortable, with that classic, established Japanese hotel vibe. The large public bath was also excellent, with both indoor and outdoor hot springs. Soaking after skiing felt amazing〜

Breakfast and dinner are buffet-style, with lots of options and everything was tasty (the Niigata rice in particular is so fragrant). Eating while looking out at the snowy view really gives you that full resort feeling. The staff were all very friendly and quick to help, too.

If I had to mention a downside, the hotel feels a bit dated and the price is on the higher side. But overall it was absolutely worth it—especially in winter for skiing or the hot springs. ⛄💦

Absolutely awesome! The meat was super tender and juicy—you can tell right away it's top-quality Wagyu. The staff were really attentive and explained the best ways to enjoy each cut. They grilled everything to the perfect doneness. The side dishes were great too—rice, kimchi, and soup all went really well with the meal. Overall, I left feeling totally satisfied. The price is a bit on the higher side, but for this quality, it's totally worth it. Perfect spot to treat yourself or for a date!

This is one of the must-try spots in Otsu, especially for their chicken set meals. The chicken is really fresh and tasty. Just make sure to book ahead, because it gets super crowded!

When the glaciers melt in spring, the water volume increases and the waterfall becomes even more majestic.

Asakusa Sumo Club

Sumo, Japan's national sport, has been around since the Edo period. It is very popular with foreign tourists visiting Japan but tickets to attend an official Grand Sumo Tournament are very hard to come by. There are also many customs involved in visiting a sumo stable, which can be somewhat intimidating for first-timers. To solve this problem, we are pleased to announce the opening of a new facility in January 2024!

I didn't really have any feelings about sumo before, but watching it up close was a totally different experience. The physical contact, the sounds, and getting to enjoy traditional sumo hot pot—it was a feast for the eyes, ears, and taste buds all at once!
