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.

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. -

Farm Tomita
Located in Nakafurano Town, Hokkaido, this tourist farm is famous for its large-scale, elegant lavender fields. In addition to the grand lavender fields, the farm is known for its "Irodori Field," a canvas of gently sloping hills adorned with vivid bands of flowers such as purple lavender, white baby's breath, and red poppies.
Standing in the flower fields at Farm Tomita, the breeze carried a light floral scent, and it made me feel completely at ease. The colors were rich but perfectly balanced, and it made me want to stay a little longer.
