A colleague from Yokohama gave me “Kurumicco” as a souvenir, and you can buy it at Yokohama Takashimaya. The cookies are filled with nuts and caramel. First, you taste the rich nutty flavor, followed by the sweetness of the caramel. They’re sweet and fragrant without being too rich. The small size is just right, so having one as an afternoon snack doesn’t feel like too much. They’re also great for buying for the office and sharing with coworkers.

Don Quijote in Dotonbori is truly a paradise for night owls! It’s open 24 hours, so even after the shops along the shopping street start closing, you don’t have to worry about having nowhere to browse at night. You can come hunt for bargains anytime. The store is packed with everything from plush toys, cosmetics, and snacks to electronics and toys. There’s such a wide variety that you can easily spend hours just wandering around. With coupons, you can also enjoy tax-free shopping and additional discounts. Before you know it, your basket is full, and you’re heading home with a huge bag of purchases!

When people hear Shiseido, they usually think of the well-known skincare and cosmetics brand, but Ginza is also home to the unique Shiseido Parlour, which specializes in elegant desserts and gifts. If you're buying a gift, you can ask the staff to wrap it for free, and the packaging is very lavish and beautiful. There is also a restaurant inside where you can enjoy desserts and dishes in an elegant retro atmosphere. The restaurant is quite popular, so it's best to arrive early to get seated sooner.

It's famous for its Christmas illuminations in winter, when the entire street is lit up with dazzling lights at night, creating a very romantic atmosphere. But visiting during cherry blossom season has its own charm, with cherry trees blooming on both sides and the soft pink sea of flowers complementing the streetscape. When a gentle breeze blows, the petals drift softly to the ground, adding a touch of romance and poetry. Whether you come for the winter lights or the spring cherry blossoms, it's well worth taking a walk here.

I still have a Kyoto Bus One-Day Pass that I bought before. It allowed unlimited hop-on, hop-off travel, making it easy to explore major attractions around Kyoto. It has now been integrated into the “Subway & Bus One-Day Pass,” making transportation even more convenient. Whether you’re viewing cherry blossoms or fall foliage or visiting ancient temples and shrines, it makes planning your itinerary easy. When traveling in Kyoto, this convenient and practical transit pass saves you the trouble of buying individual tickets. Highly recommended.

I used to feel unwell more easily around my period, and I would also feel especially tired. After taking Inochi no Haha White for a while, I feel more stable in general and more comfortable around my period. I now take it regularly as part of my daily wellness routine, along with maintaining a normal schedule and diet. For me, it’s a pretty convenient wellness option.

The 3D cat animation at Shinjuku East Exit is so lifelike that it makes you gasp! The giant cat sometimes pokes its head out and sometimes stretches, looking so vivid that it seems like it could jump out of the screen at any moment. Many passersby stopped to take photos and videos, completely captivated by its cute, lively movements. It was seriously so cute〜

This is a topical steroid ointment mainly used to relieve redness, inflammation, and itching caused by eczema and dermatitis. It is also a common skin medication in Japanese households. In my experience, it worked quite well for dyshidrotic eczema. However, since it contains a steroid, it would be more reassuring to consult a doctor before using it.

The famous Tokyo Bay landmark, Rainbow Bridge, spans the bay with its white structure, connecting central Tokyo and Odaiba. It looks magnificent during the day and even more romantic and captivating when illuminated at night. From Odaiba Seaside Park, you can enjoy sweeping views of the bridge and Tokyo Bay. Framing Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Bay, and the Statue of Liberty together also makes for a great composition.

Osaka Kizu Wholesale Market is one of Osaka's long-established traditional markets. Located near Namba and Daikokucho, it brings together fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat, and a variety of dried goods. The market has a strong local atmosphere. Besides getting a feel for how Osaka residents do their everyday shopping, you can also enjoy plenty of affordable food. Unlike Kuromon Market, it has fewer tourists. If you want to experience a more authentic Osaka market atmosphere, Kizu Wholesale Market is a good choice.
