This place feels really local and all about pure skiing.
There aren’t many flashy facilities, but when the snow is good it’s seriously fun to ride. The runs are wide, and it’s very friendly for everyone from beginners to intermediates. You don’t really feel that stress of the slopes being overcrowded.

Ishiyamadera Temple
This is the head temple of the Shingon school on the bank of the Seta River, which flows from Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. There are strange rocks erected all over the precincts, including the large rock towering in front of the Hondo (main shrine).
The name Ishiyamadera sounds simple, but the temple itself is actually stunning. The scent of the wooden main hall is so soothing—it instantly melts away your stress.

Dotonbori
Crab, octopus, cow, crane….these are just a few of the oversized 3D signboards that make up the look and feel of the bustling Dotonbori Area. Its packed with a number of eateries along the northern Dotonbori River and main street along its southern side.
All the shops in Dotonbori have huge signboards—the crab sign is the easiest to spot! When shopping, my friends and I always meet up here so we don't get lost.

Nagomi no Yoneya “Peanut Monaka”
Yoneya Co., Ltd. was founded in 1899 (Meiji 32). With the first owner selling yokan (sweet bean jelly) with local Shiba chestnuts as a starting point, the store has produced numerous successful products, mainly Japanese desserts.
Every time we come by tour bus, it stops at the Yoneya parking lot, and then we walk over to Naritasan Shinshoji Temple.
