Manzamo is definitely a must-visit spot in Okinawa! Standing in front of the elephant trunk-shaped rock and watching the waves crash against the cliffs, the endless blue of the sea and sky makes you want to stop and linger for a while.

The scenery changes depending on the time of day. On sunny days, the ocean is as blue as a gemstone, and in the evening it takes on a romantic feel. Every quick photo looks like a postcard. It’s so beautiful you won’t want to leave.

The first stop on an Okinawa trip is Naha Airport! As soon as you get off the plane, you can feel that tropical island vibe. Transportation is convenient, and the monorail gets you to Kokusai Street quickly.

The airport has a great selection of souvenirs and food, plus an observation deck where you can watch planes take off and land. I recommend setting aside a little time to look around. The vacation mood starts right here.

Tanukikoji is definitely a must-visit in Sapporo! It has a great vibe from daytime all the way into the evening. You can find drugstores, souvenirs, and food all in one place, and the whole street is covered, so you don’t have to worry about rain or snow.

When you get tired from walking around, just pop into a restaurant for some Genghis Khan grilled lamb or a glass of SAPPORO beer. It’s the perfect way to enjoy Hokkaido’s relaxed pace. Just be warned—you might end up shopping nonstop!

Hozenji Yokocho is tucked away next to lively Dotonbori. Step into the stone-paved alley, and it feels like you’ve instantly traveled back to old Osaka.

Both sides are lined with unique, long-established shops. You can also visit the moss-covered Mizukake Fudo to pay your respects and enjoy the quiet, nostalgic atmosphere.

It has a different charm during the day and at night, and it’s definitely worth slowing down to explore.

Besides shopping and eating your way through Dotonbori, don’t forget to look up at this super unique oval Ferris wheel!

Hop on Don Quijote’s Ebisu Tower, and in 15 minutes you can take in the streets around Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi from above. It’s especially gorgeous at night when all the neon lights are on.

After the ride, you can head straight into Don Quijote to restock and pick up souvenirs. Night views and shopping all in one stop—definitely a must-add to any Osaka itinerary!

This Ichiran in Dazaifu is really unique. I specifically ordered the limited-edition Success Ramen, and the pentagon-shaped bowl and extra-long noodles were such thoughtful touches. Hopefully it brings some good luck too. Definitely worth trying if you come here!

No fancy toppings, no flashy presentation. Just a bowl of ramen and a commitment that has carried on since 1952.

The ultra-thin noodles with the light tonkotsu broth are simple, but they get more satisfying with every bite. It makes sense that this place became the representative spot for Nagahama ramen.

Trying the kaedama noodle refill culture for the first time was fun too. Add another serving of noodles at the end, and the whole bowl feels reborn.

If you like bolder flavors, don’t forget to add some red pickled ginger and white sesame. Each bite brings out a different flavor. Definitely worth a ramen pilgrimage when visiting Fukuoka!

This bowl really left an impression! The tonkotsu broth was rich, aromatic, and full-bodied without being overly salty. Paired with the extra-thin straight noodles, every bite soaked up the soup, while the noodles still had a nice springy chew. I went with the shop’s recommended “firm” noodles, and they were just right!

The chashu and wontons were also excellent, and I still wanted to order extra noodles after finishing. If you like bold, flavorful tonkotsu ramen, this place is absolutely worth the wait. No wonder it’s a must-try spot for so many locals and ramen lovers.

The tonkotsu broth was rich but not overly salty, and it went down really smoothly. The thin noodles soaked up the soup, so every bite was packed with deep tonkotsu flavor. The chashu was tender too, so it’s easy to see why this is known as the original “foamy-style” ramen.

If you’re visiting Hakata, you really shouldn’t miss this bowl. If you love tonkotsu ramen, I definitely recommend adding it to your plans and seeing whether you’ll end up like me—wanting to come back after just one visit!

The broth looks rich, but it tastes surprisingly light. No wonder they say it’s a tonkotsu soup that “even seniors and kids can finish.”

It’s simmered slowly with pork bones, chicken bones, and Kyushu vegetables, with none of that heavy gamey smell—just lots of clean, savory sweetness. Paired with the extra-thin noodles, every bite soaks up the broth and goes down so easily.

The biggest surprise was the chashu. It had a slight sweetness and practically melted in my mouth without much chewing. The simple toppings—chashu, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions—actually made the ramen itself stand out even more.
