It’s not just a ski area—Shiga Kogen is beautiful in every season, spring, summer, fall, and winter. There are hot springs, too!

Tama Central Park
Tama Central Park is a vast urban park covering Approx. 110,000 square meters, conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Tama-Center Station.
The café is lovely. The playground equipment is also very clean, and kids will get so caught up playing that they’ll lose track of time.

Sanrio Puroland
Guests can meet Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty and My Melody at this indoor theme park. Sanrio characters put on authentic performances like shows and parades that mix stories, dances, and songs together.
I bought a ton of Sanrio exclusives, and when I walked out there were those gacha machines next door that totally make your eyes spin...
Remember to bring enough coins!〜! -

TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY
Japan's largest station-centered urban development project, led by JR East, opened in spring 2026 in front of Takanawa Gateway Station in Minato City, Tokyo.
It was actually more fun to explore than I expected! The self-driving cars weren't that impressive (but not bad either). The whole place really gives off a futuristic city vibe! 😲
