The main selling point here really isn’t the food, it’s the view.
From your seat you’re looking straight at the Tsunoshima Bridge with this endless, insanely blue ocean in front of you.
When the weather’s nice, you honestly get distracted while you eat because you just keep staring outside. It’s also an amazing spot for photos.

Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama Main Store
Nestled in Arashiyama, one of Kyoto’s most scenic and beloved tourist destinations, Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama Main Store is a world-renowned ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), located along the path from Togetsukyo Bridge to Tenryu-ji Temple.
The atmosphere here is just incredible—everything from the garden to the food feels like a work of art. Every kaiseki dish is beautifully crafted and really reflects the season. It's pricey, but totally worth it!

Inawashiro Lake
Overlooking Mount Bandai in the north, Inawashiro Lake is the fourth largest in Japan, covering an area of approximately 103 square kilometers and reaching depths of up to 93 meters. During the summer, the lake becomes a bustling hub for water activities such as swimming, boating, and fishing. Centrally located in Fukushima Prefecture, it spans the cities of Aizuwakamatsu and Koriyama, as well as Inawashiro Town.
Visited again after the pandemic—watching the birds and swans swimming in the lake was so relaxing. I really enjoyed the peaceful and calm vibe.

Kyogammi Bunnosuke Chaya Kyoto Main Store
Kyogammi Bunnosuke Chaya Kyoto Main Store is a traditional sweets shop near Yasaka Pagoda, ideally located between two of Kyoto’s top sights, Yasaka Shrine and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It began in 1909 as an amazake teahouse founded by Kamigata rakugo storyteller Katsura Bunnosuke II, who was active in the Meiji era.
This old Meiji-era house is so Kyoto—super photogenic.
The shaved ice here is gorgeous too; the colors are unreal. It totally brought out my inner girly side 💓...
If you’re in Kyoto, you have to come try it!
