The exterior looks very elegant, with that classic Japanese teahouse style. The building blends beautifully with nature, and the overall atmosphere feels especially relaxing.

Mankusen Shrine
In the month of Kamiari-zuki (October on the lunar calendar), the gods from all over Japan gather in Izumo. It is said that the last stop for the gods visiting Izumo is the Mankusen Shrine. Officially called "Makuse-No-Yashiro," it is said that the gods hold a meeting here before departing for their respective lands.
The atmosphere is very calm, with a bit of a mysterious feel.
It’s not overly touristy, which actually makes it feel more pure and authentic. -

teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com
The art collective teamLab is known for creating immersive, interactive experiences using cutting-edge digital technology. At teamLab Planets TOKYO DMM.com, step into the sheer awe of art that blurs the line between observer and the art itself. The museum saw a major renovation in January 2025, expanding event space by about 1.5 times and adding an outdoor area.
In the flower-filled space, the flowers aren’t still—they slowly bloom and drift.
Standing inside feels like being gently surrounded, and even time itself seems to grow lighter. -

Lake Notoro
In eastern Hokkaido, on the westside of Abashiri City, Lake Notoro is known to be covered with crimson coral grass in fall. “Japan’s Best Sango Grass Habitat” has wooden boardwalks, making you feel like walking on a runway on the coral grass carpet.
Standing by Lake Notoro, the breeze was cool and the surface of the lake was so calm it looked like a mirror. In autumn, the coral grass turns red across the whole area, which looks really unique. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing.
