This place is seriously unreal—so gorgeous it doesn’t even feel like a Starbucks. I came all the way to Dazaifu just for this store, and it was 100% worth it.

Samurai Residences in Kakunodate
In Kakunodate, part of the city of Semboku in Akita Prefecture, exists rows of old houses first attributed to the Ashina family in the early Edo period (around year 1620), that later flourished under the castle town of the Satake-Kita family. This district has been designated as protected in an effort to conserve traditional buildings.
The area isn't very big, but every spot is worth taking your time to walk around and snap some photos.

Ritsurin Garden
Used as a villa by the Matsudaira clan of Takamatsu, Ritsurin Garden was completed nearly 300 years ago by successive generations of feudal lords who renovated it. While the sprawling strolling garden covers 16 hectares, the total area of this park, including Mount Shiun in the background, extends to an impressive 75 hectares!
If you’re visiting Takamatsu, this Michelin-starred spot is a must-see. The garden is full of rare pine trees, all carefully maintained by experts. I recommend coming during cherry blossom season in March or April.

Maruyama Park (Kyoto)
The oldest park in Kyoto, built on land once owned by temples and shrines. It is located across the Shijo Ohashi Bridge from Kawaramachi and straight down the Gion shopping street on Shijo Dori Street. From the Shijo Ohashi Bridge, pass the Keihan Gion-Shijo Station and continue along the shopping street, and you will see Yasaka Shrine in front of you.
The cherry blossom season here is lively and beautiful. Sitting under the trees and enjoying the flowers is so relaxing.
