Some of the handicrafts are insanely overpriced, but the quality isn’t really any better than what you’d find at a night market.

JR East Hotel Mets Premier Yokohama Sakuragicho
A higher-tier brand of the “JR East Hotel Mets” group, which operates hotels mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area within walking distance of train stations. In addition to the excellent convenience of being directly adjacent to JR Sakuragicho Station, the hotel offers a stress-free stay under the theme of unpretentious quality. Check-in is handled smoothly through the contactless guest service “Remoline.”
Super convenient! The hotel is right outside Sakuragicho Station, so you barely have to walk at all with your luggage. The location is amazing, and it’s just a few minutes to the Red Brick Warehouse or the Minato Mirai area. Perfect for a walk.

Kobe Kitano Ijinkan (Former Foreign Residences)
When the port of Kobe opened in 1868, the "Kobe Kitano Ijin-gai (foreign city)" developed as a land of foreign settlement. Located on a hill overlooking the ocean, the town has a unique mix of Western and Japanese style buildings. About 30 Western-style buildings have been preserved in their original state, and 16 are open to the public.
The color scheme inside the English-style building is so pretty! Makes me really want to have afternoon tea there!

Maruyama Park (Sapporo)
Maruyama Park is located north of Maruyama Virgin Forest, known for its beautiful cherry blossoms since ancient times. The park boasts about 120 cherry trees such as Sargent cherry and Somei-Yoshino, which attract many visitors in spring.
It's easy to get here by subway, so transportation isn't a hassle. Hokkaido Shrine is right next to the park, so after visiting the shrine, you can take some nice photos in the park.
