Lake Kawaguchi is probably one of the most reliable and classic spots for viewing Mt. Fuji. That said, the actual experience depends a lot on the weather, so it’s good to be prepared—whether you get that perfect Mt. Fuji view really comes down to luck to some extent.

HMV&BOOKS NAMBA
HMV&BOOKS NAMBA is a multi-format entertainment store based on the theme of “a space where customers encounter, experience, and resonate with entertainment.” Another appealing point is that it is directly connected to Namba Station, making it comfortable to visit even on rainy days.
There are so many books—manga, novels, magazines, and art/design titles are all easy to find. The store is really comfortable, and everything is clearly organized. It’s not just books, either; they also have music, stationery, and merch, so you can take your time browsing for hidden gems.

Susukino
Susukino is one of the most famous entertainment districts in Sapporo. Along with Kabukicho in Shinjuku and Nakasu in Fukuoka, Susukino is called one of the "three central entertainment districts in Japan.
The later it gets, the livelier it becomes—more vibrant than I expected. Although it was crowded, everything felt pretty orderly and not chaotic. Restaurants, izakayas, and bars stay open late into the night, so it’s super convenient if you want a late-night bite or a drink. You definitely don’t have to worry about finding a place. It had more energy than I imagined.

Chunichi Building
Chunichi Building, which opened in April 2024, is a mixed-use complex in the Sakae area of Nagoya. From B1F to 5F, it offers a wide variety of shops, including restaurants, cafes, general goods stores, and local product shops, and its greatest appeal is that visitors can enjoy food, shopping, and sightseeing all in one place. Directly connected to the underground mall and easy to access, it is also conveniently located as a base for sightseeing.
I didn’t expect to find such an amazing free night view in downtown Nagoya. The view from the 7th-floor observation deck is fantastic, and the city lights at night have a really classy feel. Looking out over all of downtown Nagoya from above feels completely different from the daytime.
