Hoheikyo Onsen

Hoheikyo Onsen is the only hot spring in Sapporo where the spring water is poured directly into the bathtub. This 100% free-flowing hot spring, in which the temperature is not controlled and water is not added, is rare even in Japan, a country with a large number of hot springs. It is popular as a hot spring where one can expect the same efficacy as that of the spring water.

The scenery all around is like a painting. The huge open-air hot spring looks like a work of art—it's really beautiful!

You can buy super fresh ingredients here. If you head out early, you can even have lunch at the market before heading home. Haha!

Yagiyama Zoological Park in Sendai is thoughtfully designed. You can even see cute animal paintings on the subway station walls. Japanese zoos really put a lot of care into their planning.

JR Kanazawa Station is so thoughtful! The umbrella theme is perfect for visitors, letting you stay dry from the rain or snow. You can really feel the warmth and hospitality of Kanazawa here.

The former Iwasaki House Garden

The Iwasaki Family founded Mitsubishi. These buildings and garden were built in 1896 as a residence for Hisaya, Iwasaki Family’s third head, and were later restructured as Tokyo’s garden. The 12-acre premises used to have 20 buildings. Today, the western-style hall, the Japanese-style hall, the pool hall and the garden are preserved.

The first-floor veranda of the Western-style building at the Former Iwasaki House Garden has a Tuscan vibe, while the columns on the second floor are in the Greek Ionic style. You can really feel the greatness and taste of European architecture here!

Omiya Hachimangu Shrine

Minamoto no Yoriyoshi, a war lord in the Heian Period, built Omiya Hachimangu in 1063. It is one of the three big shrines of Musashi Province. Hachiman Okami (Emperor Onin) and his two children are enshrined as deities to bless with safe childbirth and parenting. Located at Tokyo’s center, it is called the “Belly Button of Tokyo,” popular as a spiritual spot.

Omiya Hachimangu Shrine is a place I often visit to get goshuin stamps and pray. It always brings me peace and calm.

Sakura Jingu

Koshiki Shinto is a belief system that emerged spontaneously in Japan from ancient times-founded in 1882 in Kanda, Tokyo, to revive the ancient Shinto tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times. Unlike the "Nirei-Nihakushu-Ichirei" used by most Shinto shrines, the official way of worship is "Nirei-Shihakushu-Ichirei" (two bows, four-beat, one bow).

Every year from late February to early March, I come to Sakura Jingu to see the Kawazu cherry blossoms in full bloom. I also tie pink wish ribbons on the trees. I highly recommend visiting this spot!

Yuge no Sho Seaweed-salt-making Experience

Since Japan is not blessed with salt resources such as rock salt or salty lakes, salt has been produced from seawater using various salt-making methods since ancient times. The calm Seto Inland Sea has long daylight and little rainfall, thus, many islands became famous for salt production.

The seaweed salt from Kamagari in Hiroshima is the best and most famous, so I came here to try making it myself at the beachside hut. It was awesome!
