If you're staying at a hotel by the lake, you should definitely go out for a walk at night. Lake Suwa has a completely different vibe after dark than it does during the day. Without the noise of the city, just sitting by the lake, zoning out, and looking at the night view is one of the most relaxing moments of the trip.

Hitachi Seaside Park
Hitachi Seaside Park is a large park that spans an area of about 215 hectares. During springtime, daffodils, tulips, and nemophila bloom. In early summer, there are roses, and in summer, there are zinnias and sunflowers. Autumn brings forth kochia and cosmos. During winter ice tulips, plum blossoms, and other seasonal flowers bloom. In particular, the nemophilia that bloom from mid-April through early May are lauded for their gorgeous blue color, blending the sky, sea, and flowers together into a vast expanse of blue.
Standing on the hillside and looking out at the sea of flowers stretching all the way to the sky and the shore really felt like stepping into a fairy tale.
It was even more breathtaking in person than in the photos. -

Naeba Ski Resort
One of the largest ski resorts in Japan, Naeba is known for its dry, high-quality snow. Its wide variety of courses, which have also hosted World Cup races, can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced skiers. The 4 km downhill course is truly spectacular.
I met a lot of fellow skiers from Taiwan at Naeba Ski Resort. Everyone was super friendly, and we shared gear and info about the runs with each other.
Skiing together was way more fun than skiing alone. We were laughing pretty much nonstop. -
