A full 360-degree view with no blind spots. On a clear day, you can even see Mt. Fuji.

Sunset is the most popular time slot. You need to book and buy tickets online in advance, and it’s hard to get tickets on the day of your visit. Definitely something to keep in mind if you plan to come here.

The greenery design here is absolutely fantastic.
It blends the entire urban complex perfectly with nature, creating a feeling like you’re shopping in a forest.

In busy Tokyo, having a place like this where you can really take a deep breath and enjoy both modern design and natural greenery feels so refreshing. Whether you’re taking a walk, grabbing a coffee, or just relaxing, it’s incredibly soothing.

From Haneda Airport, you can catch domestic flights to destinations all over Japan.
I also like flying from here because it’s close to the city center, so getting into Tokyo after landing is quick and convenient.

On this trip, we rode the charmingly retro Akita Nairiku Line, got off at Aniai Station, and then transferred to a car.

This place offers skiing, including rental gear, and you can also see the snow monsters up close and really experience the incredible beauty of nature.

The peninsula has a perfect coastline.
The hotel serves the famous stone-grilled fish soup, and it was incredibly fresh and delicious. The chef was amazing—moving the glowing hot stones around, and in no time a fresh, flavorful fish soup was ready.

Mt. Kanpu Revolving Lookout

355m-tall Mt. Kanpu is located at the back of Oga Peninsula. On top of the mountain, there is Mt. Kanpu Revolving Lookout. Elevation is not that high, but nothing blocks the view at that great scenic place.

The most charming thing about Mt. Kanpu is its lush green grassy slopes covering the whole mountain.

At the summit, the revolving lookout slowly turns 360 degrees, unfolding the magnificent scenery of the entire Oga Peninsula like a painting right before your eyes. That wide-open, unobstructed view really makes you feel refreshed and uplifted.

Tsurugajo Castle in Aizu-Wakamatsu is truly a fascinating old castle.
What makes it especially unique is that it’s the only castle keep in Japan that has preserved its red roof tiles.
It has a different charm in every season.
Cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fall foliage in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter all make you want to come and experience the beauty of the four seasons.

I happened to come across a temporary fruit sandwich stand, and it was delicious.

On the second floor before security, there are some shops where you can shop and grab a meal. Some stores also offer tax-free service.

Toyama Castle at night has such a wonderful atmosphere.

Unlike its dignified, historic feel during the day, once night falls and the lights come on, the carefully designed modern lighting casts a soft, mysterious glow on its white walls, making it look like a crystal palace floating in the night.

The sails on Kaiwo Maru are usually furled. Only on certain dates between April and October do they fully open the sails, and it’s an incredibly spectacular sight. In July, there’s also a fireworks festival with special lighting, so you can enjoy a completely different view.
