Kitaro Chaya is a very distinctive attraction near Jindaiji Temple in Tokyo, filled with fun elements from GeGeGe no Kitaro. Familiar yokai characters can be seen both outside and inside the shop, making you feel as if you've stepped into Kitaro's world as soon as you enter. Besides enjoying matcha, sweets, and other specialty items, you can also buy lots of exclusive merchandise and souvenirs.

Hotel Nikko Kanazawa
A luxury hotel right in front of JR Kanazawa Station, boasting 30 floors above ground and one of the largest scales in the Hokuriku region. A 3-minute walk from the Kenrokuen Exit, known for its striking Tsuzumi-mon Gate. Directly connected via an underground passage, so you can get there comfortably even in bad weather such as rain or snow.
What I liked most about staying at Hotel Nikko Kanazawa was its convenient location! The hotel is very close to Kanazawa Station, which saves a lot of time whether you're taking the train, shopping, or visiting attractions around the city.
It's especially convenient for getting to Kenrokuen Garden. You don't have to spend much time traveling, so it's easy to visit this famous garden that represents Kanazawa. Heading out in the morning for a stroll through the garden made the whole itinerary flow smoothly.

Zanpa Misaki
Zanpa Misaki is a stunning cape located in Yomitan Village, central Okinawa. Stretching approximately 2 km along the East China Sea, its towering 30-meter cliffs create a dramatic landscape where waves crash against the rugged rocks, sending white sprays into the air.
What attracted me most to Zanpa Misaki in Okinawa was the pure white lighthouse standing by the coast! Zanpa Misaki Lighthouse is one of the few lighthouses on Okinawa’s main island that you can climb to the top for a view. Its white exterior against the deep blue sea is truly beautiful!
Walking along the cape, you can see the spectacular cliffs, and the sea breeze feels very pleasant. Looking out toward the ocean from near the lighthouse, the view is incredibly expansive. When the weather is nice, it’s a great place to take photos.
If you have enough time and energy, you can also climb the lighthouse for a view from higher up, but since we had children with us, we didn’t go up. What a shame!

Cape Hedo
Located within Yanbaru National Park, Cape Hedo marks the northernmost point of Okinawa’s main island. Brandished in the full drama of uplifted coral cliffs, a wild and rugged atmosphere unveils while facing out to the open ocean between the Pacific and East China Sea. The area is well-maintained as Cape Hedo Park, with walking trails and scenic observation decks.
At Cape Hedo in northern Okinawa, the moment I saw the ocean in front of me, I couldn't help but stop to take pictures! The deep blue water paired with the dramatic coastline was incredibly beautiful, and when the weather is good, it's so gorgeous that you won't want to leave!
Looking out from the cape, you can feel the vastness of the sea and sky merging into one, and the ocean breeze blowing against your face feels especially pleasant. It's not as busy as attractions in the city and instead has a more natural, peaceful atmosphere.
