The Hakone Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Ashinoko is the best way to explore the area! The views from the boat are beautiful 👍. As you get closer to Hakone-machi Port, you can even see the majestic Mt. Fuji. Riding the boat is definitely a great experience.

Kurashiki Bikan has some of the most nostalgic scenery in Japan. Walking in, you'll find old residential streets, and the peaceful atmosphere even earned it a Michelin 2-star rating... It's just so beautiful! ❤️

The victory daruma is the symbol of Katsuo-ji Temple! You can pray here for success in business, exams, jobs—pretty much any kind of victory.

Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura is a must-see spot for cherry blossom viewing! The street is about 1.3 kilometers long and lined with tons of Someiyoshino cherry trees. Highly, highly recommended~~~~~

Hotel Urashima is right across from the pier! It was my first time staying at an onsen hotel where you have to take a boat to check in—so cool!!

Kema Sakuranomiya Park, near the Osaka Mint, stretches about 4.2 km along the riverside from Kema Araizeki to Tenmabashi Bridge. There are around 4,700 cherry trees, so during sakura season, the view is absolutely stunning and beautiful!

The Meiji Jingu Museum, designed by the famous architect Kengo Kuma, blends Zen aesthetics with the lush forest. It not only creates a sense of harmony, but the origin of this forest is truly inspiring—it was once a barren land, but was miraculously transformed into a vast green space.

Whenever I go to Japan, I always buy this candy to eat on the tour bus. It's got just the right amount of sweetness and a chewy, delicious texture. 😋
