The most eye-catching feature of HEP FIVE in Osaka Umeda is the red Ferris wheel on top of the building! The Ferris wheel is built directly on the roof of the shopping mall, making it look very distinctive, and its bright red gondolas can be seen from far away.

Once aboard, you slowly rise and can enjoy views of downtown Osaka from above, taking in the streets and buildings around Umeda.

Lake Shoji（Shoji-ko）

This dammed lake formed by the volcanic eruption of Mt.Fuji is the smallest lake of Fuji Five Lakes. Lake Shoji and another 2 dammed lakes, Lake Motosu and Senoumi, also formed by the volcanic eruption of Mt.Fuji, were originally a single lake, but Mt. Fuji erupted again in the 9th century and outpouring lava divided 2 lakes and Lake Shoji.

While riding the bus past Lake Shoji, Mt. Fuji suddenly came into view through the window, and I couldn’t help but be captivated by the scenery. The lake reflected the sky, while Mt. Fuji stood quietly in the distance, its outline clear and graceful, like a natural landscape painting.

Lake Shoji is less crowded than popular tourist spots, giving it a greater sense of peace and tranquility. As the bus traveled along the lakeshore, the view from the window brought the lake, mountains, and Mt. Fuji together in a captivating scene.

Curél Lotion has a pretty lightweight texture. It spreads easily on my face and doesn’t feel too heavy or sticky.

After applying it, my skin feels softer, and the moisture feels comfortable. It feels just right, especially when I’m usually in an air-conditioned room or when the weather is dry.

MAKE KEEP MIST

This finishing lotion is simply sprayed on top of finished makeup to make it last. As it contains sweat-and-sebum-proof ingredients, it not only repels water, sweat, and sebum, but also suppresses shine and makeup running.

KOSE's moisturizing makeup setting spray seems very suitable for people who wear makeup regularly. The spray is very convenient. After finishing your makeup, just lightly spray it on your face as the final setting step.

I personally like the moisturizing feel it provides. My face doesn't feel dry after using it, and my makeup looks more natural.

We went to Tokyo Dome City to watch the Chinese Taipei team play! It was my first time experiencing such an exciting atmosphere at a game in person. From the moment we entered, I could feel everyone's enthusiasm.

The cheering during the game was incredibly loud. Whenever the Chinese Taipei team made a great play, everyone cheered and shouted together with all their might, instantly firing up the entire stadium. The energy was truly contagious!

Being able to cheer for the Chinese Taipei team at Tokyo Dome and root for them together with everyone was a very special memory from this trip. Even now, thinking about the cheers in the stadium still gets me fired up!

When I came to Yokohama, I could see the tall Yokohama Marine Tower standing prominently from far away. Although I didn't go up close to visit it this time, even admiring it from a distance, I felt that the tower really captured the character of Yokohama Port.

While in Hakone, I passed by the Narukawa Art Museum. The building and surrounding scenery had a wonderful atmosphere, and knowing that you can enjoy Japanese paintings and beautiful views of Hakone inside made me feel it would be well worth adding to the itinerary.

Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a hurry this time and couldn't go inside, so I could only take some photos outside to document my visit. It was a little disappointing that I had come all the way to the area but wasn't able to go in and take a proper look.

I used the KINTETSU RAIL PASS during my trip to the Kansai region. It was very convenient when taking Kintetsu trains to places like Nara, and I could travel according to my itinerary without having to buy a separate ticket each time.

For anyone planning to visit attractions along the Kintetsu lines in Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and other areas, the pass also makes traveling by train much simpler. Riding the Kintetsu trains and watching the cities and scenery pass by outside the window also became part of the trip!
