Onuma in winter is absolutely stunning when the whole lake freezes over. The endless white scenery feels so dreamy, and walking on the ice is such a unique experience. With the snowy view of Mount Komagatake, the whole place has an amazing atmosphere.

100-year-old House, Ouya (Ufuya)
"100-year-old House, Ouya (Ufuya)" is a restaurant located in a renovated old Ryukyu house at the end of a mountain path that makes you wonder if there really is a restaurant down the road from Nago City ”.
This place isn’t just about delicious food—the dining atmosphere is a major highlight too. The charming old-style building paired with Okinawa’s natural scenery creates a relaxing, slow-paced vibe. It’s a unique restaurant I’d highly recommend adding to your Okinawa trip.

Shojuin Temple
In 1200, Shojuin temple was built as the sub-temple of Iioyama Ioukyouji Temple. It is an ancient temple located in Ujitawara, known as the birthplace of Kyoto’s famous green tea. The main deity is the Juichimen Kanzeon (11-faced Kanzeon).
If you're visiting Kyoto in the summer, I highly recommend adding the Shojuin Temple Wind Chime Festival to your itinerary. Besides enjoying the beautiful wind chimes, you can also experience the unique tranquility and seasonal atmosphere of a Japanese temple. It left a very lasting impression on me.

Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport)
Haneda is Japan’s largest airport, officially called Tokyo International Airport. Each of the three terminals has an observation deck where you can watch closely the airplanes take off and land, shopping facility, and restaurants with different cuisines.
Terminal 3 felt very bright and spacious overall, and the layout made it really comfortable. There was also plenty of seating to rest.
I especially liked the areas with the large floor-to-ceiling windows, where you can relax while watching planes take off and land on the apron. The atmosphere was very calming, and it's definitely a big plus for anyone who enjoys watching airplanes. -
