When visiting Hakodate, of course you have to get up early and explore the famous Hakodate Morning Market! As soon as I entered the market, I was drawn to all the fresh seafood. The crabs, scallops, sea urchin, salmon roe, and many other kinds of seafood were dazzling.

What I looked forward to most was a bowl of fresh seafood donburi, piled high with seafood over rice. Every bite tasted like the sea, and the feeling of happiness was off the charts.

The famous Otaru Orgel Doh Main Hall! As soon as I walked in, I was drawn to all the music boxes. Every one was delicate and adorable, and as the music played, the entire store was filled with a romantic atmosphere.

The wide variety of music boxes was dazzling, from cute little animals and dreamy carousels to all kinds of beautifully crafted designs. Each one made me want to pick it up and admire it.

Shiroi Koibito Park in Hokkaido really makes you feel like you've stepped into a fairy-tale world! The park is filled with European-style architecture, dreamy gardens, and cute chocolate-themed elements. Every corner is great for photos!

Strolling through the park, you can admire the beautiful buildings while soaking in the sweet atmosphere. It almost feels like the scent of chocolate and cookies is floating through the air.

When traveling, I always keep a box of Seirogan in my luggage. After all, there are so many opportunities to enjoy good food on a trip that an occasional upset stomach is hard to avoid〜

Seirogan does have a distinctive smell, but taking just one when I have diarrhea, loose stools, or digestive discomfort from something I ate works really well.

I really like how fresh it feels after brushing without being overly harsh. It's great to use after eating or before bed. Besides keeping my mouth clean by brushing every day, I also hope to keep my teeth bright and my breath fresh.

It's more than just a place to catch a train. The surrounding area is also filled with department stores, restaurants, shops, and plenty of recreational spaces, making it very convenient to explore. What I like most is Osaka Station City's modern architecture and spacious layout. Especially when you go up high and look out over Osaka, you can see a cityscape filled with tall buildings and streets, with a different charm during the day and at night.

There's a wide selection of brands here, including clothing, shoes, bags, and sports brands, with plenty of discounted items as well. It's a great place to take your time hunting for finds. When you get tired from shopping, you can stop at a cafe to rest and grab a bite, making for a relaxing half day.

The best part this time was browsing for things I liked while enjoying the beautiful streetscape. Finding something to take home felt so rewarding!

At Homangu Kamado Jinja in Dazaifu, Fukuoka, I was immediately drawn to the atmosphere of the shrine surrounded by greenery. Walking slowly uphill along the approach, the whole setting felt peaceful and pleasant.

The shrine is famous for prayers for love and good relationships, which added a touch of romance to this trip. Entering the shrine and praying in person felt especially serene, very different from the lively atmosphere of Dazaifu Tenmangu.

The Hachiko statue in Shibuya Center Street may be small, but it’s definitely worth stopping by for a photo when visiting Shibuya! Seeing Hachiko in person and thinking about how he waited at the station for his owner every day was truly moving. The constant crowds around it create the lively, bustling atmosphere of Tokyo.

At Hokkyokusei, I was most excited about their signature omurice. When it arrived, the fragrant fried rice wrapped in a silky golden omelet looked simple but incredibly appetizing!

The egg and ketchup fried rice were perfectly balanced. The sweet-and-tangy flavor was very appetizing, and it wasn't too rich overall. Instead, it had a simple, comforting taste. Highly recommended!
