So many Hokkaido‑only sweets here!
Just looking at them makes me want to buy everything and bring it all home!

Wakkanai Port North Breakwater Dome
Located at the northernmost tip of Japan in Wakkanai, Hokkaido-a city famously known as the “Town of Wind” for its strong seasonal gusts-the Wakkanai Port North Breakwater Dome stands as a striking architectural landmark. In 2001, it was officially recognized as a Hokkaido Heritage site.
This dome has such a European vibe, but it’s actually in Hokkaido. The contrast is pretty cool.

Senso-ji Temple
One of Asakusa's leading tourist attractions, Senso-ji Temple welcomes more than 30 million visitors annually. This iconic Tokyo temple hosts many annual events, including New Year's visits and Setsubun. Kaminarimon Gate, a symbol of Asakusa, features a large red lantern flanked by statues of the gods of wind and thunder.
It gets super crowded on holidays! If you want a photo without people in the background, you gotta come early.

Tsuruya Department Store
Founded in 1952, this department store is located close to Kumamoto Castle and near the Kumamoto City Tram stops Torichosuji and Suidocho. With the concept of “a local department store that proposes a high-quality lifestyle,” it values a carefully curated selection of goods rooted in the community and thoughtful hospitality.
There’s also a must-visit Kumamon section for fans. Great for photos.
