This beach is located on Kouri Island. As soon as I crossed the bridge, the endless ocean and beach came into view. Being here made me feel as though I had let go of all the stress from the office. Looking at the deep blue coast and vast sky, I felt as if I had been healed. I hope you’ll like it too.

When I went to Okinawa in June, I knew there would be fireworks every Saturday, so I deliberately scheduled a visit to American Village on Saturday afternoon. Although it can’t compare to a large theme park like Disney, it has the cheerful atmosphere of a Western-style amusement park. There are also lots of claw machines inside, as well as plenty of great places to eat, have fun, browse, and shop waiting for everyone to explore.

Hokan-ji Temple (Yasaka Pagoda)

Located in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, Hokan-ji is a Rinzai sect (Kennin-ji branch) temple most famous for its five-story pagoda, widely known as Yasaka no Tō. This iconic structure is one of Kyoto’s most recognizable landmarks. Legend points to the temples founding in 589 by Prince Shōtoku, with the current pagoda rebuilt in 1440 under Ashikaga Yoshinori.

You can see it from Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka in Kyoto. It looks very different from what we’ve seen on TV. Seeing it in person, you’ll be amazed by its grandeur and how it stands there. It’s a very traditional Japanese-style structure, and you can see the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship in it. I highly recommend everyone take a walk around and see it.

Nara Park really is a great place for the whole family to have fun. As soon as you get off, you’ll see deer everywhere around Nara Park. They’re not only inside the park—you may also come across some on the nearby roads. They’ll politely bow to you and ask for food, so please don’t hesitate to buy some deer crackers for them. But please don’t feed them anything other than deer crackers, as it could endanger their lives. Such a fun place!!! I recommend it to everyone.

I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple in person this April. Although it wasn't during the blooming season, so I couldn't see the beautiful sight of flowers in full bloom, these photos still show how vibrant it is. You can also tell from the photos that its influence and fame are beyond comparison with ordinary temples. When looking up at it from below, you can see that it was built by interlocking pieces of wood, unlike modern buildings reinforced with steel and concrete. It shows the craftsmanship and artistry of the Japanese artisans who built it. I’ll definitely visit again if I have the chance, and I invite everyone to come admire this traditional Japanese temple architecture!!

Kyoto Tower (Nidec The Kyoto Tower)

It is located right in front of Kyoto Station. It was designed in the shape of a lighthouse to illuminate Kyoto, and is the tallest building in Kyoto at 131 meters. It has been visited by over 32 million people since it opened in 1964.

After getting off the plane, I immediately took the Haruka. It was already dark, and as soon as I exited the station, the dazzling Kyoto Tower came into view. Since I was little, I had only ever seen it on TV in Detective Conan. When I finally saw it with my own eyes, the feeling was hard to put into words. Visitors who come here should experience this feeling too.

Tenso Shrine

Tenso Shrine sits on a quiet perch along the southeastern shore of Lake Kinrin. The shrine's origins trace back to Emperor Keikō, the 12th emperor of Japan, who commanded Hatsume-hime of Hayami District, Bungo Province, to enshrine the spirit of the imperial ancestor here. The shrine building faces the lake, with Tenso Kami enshrined at the center, Yasaka Shrine to the right, and Konpira Shrine to the left.

Walking deep into Yufuin, the first thing that comes into view is the vast Lake Kinrin. The most impressive sight is the torii gate hidden by the water. Seeing it in different seasons brings different feelings. When it's foggy, it feels as if some deity is about to descend. When it stands clearly in the calm lake, it has a sense of tranquility with a touch of mystery. No matter how many times I visit, I have a different feeling each time!!!

Yufuin Floral Village

A compact theme park that recreates the streetscapes of the Cotswolds region in the UK, known as a filming location for the movie “Harry Potter,” with a magical, fairytale-like atmosphere that feels like you’ve stepped into a storybook. Inside the park, beautiful plants bloom throughout the seasons, and paths lined with stone cottages continue on, with plenty of photo spots scattered throughout.

Arriving in Yufuin feels like stepping into a fairy-tale world. From the moment you get off the train, it feels completely different and removed from the outside world. Everything here has a fairy-tale feel, and even the mirror where you get off the train looks cute. Walking into Yufuin Floral Village, it's filled with the creative style of Hayao Miyazaki. Spending a day here feels like having a dream and being inside a fairy-tale world.

Manai Falls

Takachiho Gorge, designated as a National Scenic Beauty and Natural Monument, is a stunning landscape formed by the erosion of pyroclastic flows from Mount Aso's eruption. The result is a unique gorge with striking columnar cliffs, known as columnar jointing.

Although I didn’t get to see it lush, green, and full of life when I visited, I could still see that in early spring, everything seemed to be starting to come alive. Even so, nothing could hide the incredible work of nature that carved out this gorge. What I looked forward to most was going down and rowing a boat!! Seeing the gods’ creation up close.

The Aso Nakadake Caldera

Nakadake (1506 m) in the center of Mt. Aso is a volcano that continues to be active. You can see the volcanic crater up close. There are seven craters in Nakadake, and the first crater is currently active and can be seen. It can be reached near a huge crater with a circumference of about 4 km. When the gas clears, you can see the emerald green lake at the bottom of the crater, which is filled with 50 ~ 60 °C hot water.

Unfortunately, due to the plane crash in 2026, helicopter rides were unavailable, so I couldn't get a glimpse of this natural wonder from above. But the volcano still didn't disappoint me that day. As you can see in the photo, it was billowing thick smoke, as if letting us feel its breath. This was also the first time in my life that I had been so close to an active volcano and seen such an extraordinary natural sight with my own eyes!!!
