Katsurahama Aquarium isn't very big, but it's super cute and really soothing. The animals are all really friendly, and the shows are adorable—they'll definitely put you in a good mood. Overall, it's a small but really pleasant aquarium to walk around. Plus, it's awesome to take a stroll on the nearby beach while you're there.

Tokamachi Snow Festival
Held every mid-February in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, this is one of the largest snow festivals in the region, first launched in 1950 under the theme “Be friends with snow, enjoy the snow.”
The whole city gets wrapped in snow, and there are these insanely impressive snow sculptures and light displays everywhere. At night, when everything lights up, it feels super romantic. You can stroll through the market, try local snacks, sip on hot drinks, and catch performances as you walk around—there's never a dull moment. Overall, it's really chill, dreamy, and perfect for taking photos.

Komoro Castle Ruins / Kaiko-en Park
During the Warring States Period, Takeda Shingen ordered Yamamoto Kansuke, an important vassal and a master castle builder, to design the original Komoro Castle. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi united the country in 1590, Sengoku Hidehisa, a feudal lord of Komoro, undertook a major renovation of the castle and the castle town, and built the castle into the solid castle seen today.
This spot is famous for cherry blossoms and is just as well-known for its autumn leaves.
