    It's directly connected to Shibuya Station, so it's super convenient to stop by for some quick shopping. It's especially handy when you need to pick up some thoughtful sweets as a gift. Also great for grabbing deli items for a potluck or home party.

    This is one of my personal favorite galleries, and I try to stop by whenever I'm in the Ginza or Shimbashi area. The curation is exactly what you'd expect from Shiseido—top-notch and stylish. Their company magazine, Hanatsubaki, is super high-quality and cutting-edge, and amazingly, it's free. You can pick up a copy at the Shiseido Gallery, so definitely check it out.

    I got to see Mt. Yotei! There's also the Niseko Distillery nearby, and you can tour it if you make a reservation.

    This little street connects Shibuya and Omotesando, lined with fashion brand shops. There are also galleries, so it's a nice place for a walk. About 200 meters from Omotesando, there's a matcha café that's super popular with tourists because you can grab a quick matcha there.

    A lifesaver for sore throats. My throat is sensitive, so I always keep this on hand. You can usually find it at most big drugstores.

    The monks keep the temple and its grounds spotless, and the path leading up to the temple is very clean. The ceiling paintings are all different, featuring flowers and animals, and are definitely worth seeing. You take off your shoes at the entrance, put them in a plastic bag, and carry them with you. There's a direct bus from Fukui Station. Near the bus stop, you can try soft-serve ice cream with sesame tofu flavor.

    I couldn't stay overnight in Mikuni during my trip, but I used a day-use hot spring near Mikuni Port Station. The lounge on the second floor has a nice ocean view, which feels great. I also enjoyed the local Fukui dish, oroshi soba, served inside the facility—it was delicious.

    This scenic spot is famous as a filming location for suspense dramas. The sight of the rough waves of the Sea of Japan crashing against the sheer cliffs is really impressive. It's dangerous if you're not wearing comfortable sneakers or similar shoes. I recommend avoiding heels or sandals. Safety first!

    I visited during the fall foliage season.
    You can take a bus from Komagane Station to Shirabidaira Station, then ride the Komagane Ropeway up. The scenery is beautiful, and it feels great to walk around while enjoying the alpine plants. Depending on the season, it can be colder here than near the station because of the high elevation, so I recommend bringing a jacket you can layer.

    This museum always has Yayoi Kusama's works on display. You can even take photos with the famous yellow pumpkin! It's within walking distance from Matsumoto Station, but there's also a bus. There's even a red polka-dot wrapped bus, which is pretty cool.
