Tsuru-no-Mai Bridge

This is a 300 meter-long triple-arched wooden bridge over Lake Fujimi. The bridge is known as "Nagaiki-no-Hashi" (bridge of long life) and is popular for its longevity blessing. The bridge is also renowned for "Tsugaru no Sakasa Fuji" (Mt. Iwaki reflected on the lake surface), which can only be seen on clear, windless days and was used in a JR East TV advertisement. Near the bridge are Crane Nature Park and Fujimi Lake Park, which are also good places for a stroll.

Tsuru-no-Mai Bridge in Aomori is absolutely stunning when you catch it on a clear day.
This is Japan’s longest wooden triple-arched bridge, stretching 300 meters in total, and it’s built entirely with Aomori cypress, a local specialty.

I started loving nama chocolate because of their products. The first time I tried it, I was amazed—it melts in your mouth and is packed with rich chocolate flavor. So delicious.
This time, I also saw white peach and pistachio flavors, so I bought them right away to try flavors I’d never had before.

Asakusa Shin Nakamise Shopping Street

Boasting a history of about 90 years since its inception in the early Showa era, the Asakusa Shin Nakamise Shopping Street crosses Asakusa from east to west, in contrast to the Nakamise Shopping Street that connects the Kaminarimon Gate to Asakusa Temple. It is the largest shopping street in Asakusa, with a total length of 380m, and is composed of five areas.

When heading out to shop, seeing the words “dismount here” made me smile.
That charming contrast between old and new, spanning hundreds of years, is exactly the kind of little surprise that makes strolling the streets so fun. Shopping with that sense of humor even makes it feel like you can slow down a bit before reaching for your wallet.

Sensoji Temple

This iconic destination in Asakusa sees as many as 30 million visitors each year. It stands as a well-loved mainstay in Tokyo, all while hosting a number of annual traditions like the first temple visit at New Years, Setsubun and more across the year.

Sensoji Temple really is one of Tokyo’s classic landmarks! No matter how many times I’ve been, seeing that huge red lantern still makes me admire how impressive it is.
The place is packed every day with visitors from all over the world.

Standing on the streets of Ginza, surrounded by eye-catching ads and all kinds of architecture, you realize it has long gone beyond being just a shopping district. Each luxury flagship store feels like an arena for the world’s top architects. They weave the spirit of each brand into the facades and structures, making these buildings works of architectural art you can’t take your eyes off while strolling around.

Tokyo Station: Marunouchi Station Building

The construction of Japan’s front gate, Tokyo Station, began in March, 1908 and it was opened in December, 1914. Kingo Tatsuno, the pioneer of modern architecture in Japan, designed it. The steel-framed, brick Marunouchi Station building was burned on the roof and interior in the 1945 air raid.

Every time I enter Tokyo Station, it feels like stepping into a huge maze. The high domed ceiling really makes you stop and look up.

With its modern, varied electronic payment options, getting in and out is really convenient. Since the cards are now minimalist in design, I got a registered card as a souvenir.

It has my name printed on it, so it’s not just my own personal travel pass. Every time I see it, I’m instantly reminded of the feeling of walking through the streets of Tokyo and looking up beneath the dome at Tokyo Station.

When traveling in Japan, I usually book places without breakfast.
Then I go to a convenience store or supermarket to buy something.
It’s cheap and tasty, and they often release new flavors, so I can try something different every time.

Kinoko no Yama

Kinoko no Yama, a long-selling product that represents Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji), has been a beloved national chocolate snack across generations since its launch in 1975. Its most distinctive feature is its cute mushroom-shaped form. The cracker is light and fragrant, while the chocolate portion has a two-layer structure that gives it a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture. The slight saltiness of the cracker brings out the sweetness, while the clean finish makes it easy to enjoy.

The super classic Kinoko no Yama.
They look like cute little mushrooms. The caps are rich chocolate, and the stems are crispy biscuit sticks. Each one is bite-sized and doesn’t get your hands messy.
Kinoko no Yama and Takenoko no Sato are often displayed together, so I usually buy both.

Chicken Ramen Donburi

Chicken Ramen, the once-bagged variety now comes in a cup. It features a light and clean flavor derived from all-original chicken stock and roasted soy sauce. The taste is rich and smooth, featuring fluffy heaps of eggs as its main topping.

Kids love it! Add an egg and it tastes amazing. It comes in both cup noodle and single-pack versions.
Buying a whole pack is cheaper, and it’s easy to bring back to Taiwan and eat later.

An aquarium that marked its 40th anniversary in July 2023 since opening. Located at the northernmost tip of Honshu, it’s easy to access from Hokkaido, too. Exhibits include a 15-meter-long tunnel tank that recreates the underwater world of nearby Mutsu Bay, and the Marine Mammal House where you can watch penguins, seals, and more swimming underwater, with around 300 species and 8,000 animals on display.

Watching the dolphin show here was so relaxing. The 15-meter underwater tunnel in the aquarium perfectly recreates the unique marine ecosystem of Mutsu Bay. Seeing all kinds of fish and huge rays gliding gracefully overhead really felt like stepping into an actual underwater world. I ended up stopping and watching for a long time without even realizing it.
