The park is massive—perfect for a walk and slowing down. I felt totally relaxed.
If you want to get away from the city and be closer to nature, this is a pretty solid choice.

Akanko Ainu Kotan
The Akanko Ainu Kotan, located in the southern area of Lake Akan-a famous freshwater lake and a top tourist destination in Eastern Hokkaido-serves as a vibrant hub for experiencing Ainu history and culture.
The whole forest was lit up, and the vibe was super dreamy—felt like I’d stepped into a fairy tale.
Even walking around at night didn’t feel scary. The lights and music went really well together. -

Hoheikyo Dam
Hoheikyo Dam is built upstream of Toyohira River in the Minami District of Sapporo City. It controls the flow of the Toyohira River, of course, supplies water to the Sapporo City, and the surrounding area is renowned as a tourist spot for the fall foliage.
Coming to Hoheikyo Dam in the fall is seriously beautiful. A whole spread of red leaves with the reservoir in the background—such a relaxing view.

Higo Yokamon Market
Opened in 2018, Higo Yokamon Market is a commercial facility located under the elevated tracks of JR Kumamoto Station, spanning 7,500 square meters and housing about 60 attractive stores.
Higo YOKAMON has tons of local Kumamoto foods. Feels like the perfect place to pick up souvenirs from the area.
