Goryokaku, a Western-style fortress, was built in 1866 and served as the political capital of Hokkaido until the new Meiji government took over. It later became a popular tourist attraction after it was opened to the public as "Goryokaku Park" in 1914 and was designated as a national special historic site.

The perfect five-pointed star shape seen from above is truly breathtaking in person. After taking in the view and coming back down, it's also nice to stroll along the moat and enjoy the breeze. Whether it's cherry blossom season or covered in snow during winter, it looks beautiful from every angle, and I never get tired of visiting. It's truly a beautiful place.

If you go to the market early in the morning, it’s packed with the freshest seafood. Not only can you try catching live squid yourself, but the freshly sliced sashimi is incredibly crisp and sweet. You can also enjoy a deluxe seafood bowl piled high with sea urchin, salmon roe, and scallops. It’s truly paradise for seafood lovers. You can buy fruit too, and the vendors will even cut it up for you, which is very thoughtful. The melon is seriously delicious. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid the crowds of tourists.

Senaga Island in Okinawa is perfect for relaxing and looking out at the ocean. The island isn't very big, and the white buildings against the ocean make for great photos. There are also quite a few cafes, restaurants, and small shops where you can eat while watching planes take off and land. This place really has a Greek feel.
