I originally thought it would just be flower viewing, but it was even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Especially on a sunny day, Mt. Fuji with the shibazakura in full bloom looks absolutely dreamy.

Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami Osawa
Located in Hachioji, Tokyo, Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minami Osawa offers excellent accessibility by both car and train. It's about a 35-minute train ride from Shinjuku Station, and just a 2-minute walk from the nearest station, making it a convenient shopping destination.
There aren’t that many stores, and it wasn’t crowded at all—just a handful of people. It feels like mostly locals from the area come here.

Nakajima Park
Located at the heart of Sapporo, Nakajima Park offers a verdant space. many tourists flock to this popular park to see ever-changing scenery through four seasons.
Nakajima Park during ginkgo season was even more beautiful than I expected. The sunlight made everything glow golden, and the whole place had such a lovely atmosphere.
With the lake right next to it too, having scenery like this in the middle of Sapporo is a huge plus. -

Kohfukuji Temple
This temple was first built as a private residence of Fujiwara no Kamatari in Yamashina-suehara of Yamashiro-no-kuni (current Kyoto prefecture) and named Yamashina-dera, and later, Fujiwara no Fuhito decided to relocate to the current place at the time of the establishment of the Heijo Ⅽapital in 710, and the temple was renamed Kohfukuji.
I was originally just planning to stop by, but I ended up really liking Kohfukuji Temple. The buildings are very well preserved, and the Buddhist statues in the National Treasure Museum were especially stunning. It was amazing to see the details up close.
