The Fujikyu Express Discount Pass is very convenient when traveling around Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi, allowing you to use designated Fujikyu trains and other transportation according to your itinerary. With the pass, you don't have to buy a ticket each time, which saves a lot of hassle for travelers visiting multiple attractions and makes the trip smoother.
The biggest benefit I noticed while using the pass was the convenience. I didn't have to keep waiting in line to buy tickets or prepare change; I just used the transportation according to the rules.

Chunichi Building
Chunichi Building, which opened in April 2024, is a mixed-use complex in the Sakae area of Nagoya. From B1F to 5F, it offers a wide variety of shops, including restaurants, cafes, general goods stores, and local product shops, and its greatest appeal is that visitors can enjoy food, shopping, and sightseeing all in one place. Directly connected to the underground mall and easy to access, it is also conveniently located as a base for sightseeing.
This time, I went shopping at the Chunichi Building in Nagoya. Besides enjoying the lively city streets, I made a point of stopping by mont-bell. The store has a wide variety of outdoor gear, including clothing, shoes, and hiking and camping equipment. The products are practical and well-designed, making it easy for outdoor enthusiasts to keep browsing without wanting to stop.

Odawara Castle
Odawara Castle once served as the base of the Hojo clan during the Sengoku period before becoming the Okubo clan residence during the Edo period. Today this beloved symbol of Odawara keeps a revamped castle grounds that’s redeveloped as a park centered around the reconstructed main keep.
Odawara Castle is one of Kanagawa Prefecture's most iconic historic attractions. Its white main keep looks elegant and has plenty of old-castle charm. Inside, you can see historical exhibits, learn about Odawara Castle and the Sengoku period, and get a strong sense of its history.
On this visit, I took a leisurely walk along the paths inside the castle grounds, admiring the stone walls, gates, and surrounding greenery. The overall environment was quite pleasant. From the top of the main keep, you can also look out over Odawara and the distant scenery. The view is very expansive. -

Kumamoto City Tram
Operated by the Kumamoto City Transportation Bureau, this streetcar system has long been a familiar form of public transport connecting the city center with key areas. It consists of two lines-the A Line and B Line-covering a wide range of destinations including the area around Kumamoto Castle, downtown shopping districts, Suizenji, and residential neighborhoods. For visitors, it’s an easy-to-understand and convenient way to get around the city.
The Kumamoto City Tram is a very important means of transportation in central Kumamoto. It's convenient and takes you to many popular attractions, such as Kumamoto Castle, Kumamoto Station, and the downtown shopping district. The trams run through the streets, giving the city a distinctly Japanese feel.
Riding the Kumamoto City Tram this time was very relaxing. Sitting on the tram and looking out at the streets, I could enjoy Kumamoto's cityscape along the way without constantly rushing around, while also getting a feel for the rhythm of local residents' daily lives.
I really like this way of slowly exploring a city. Riding the tram through the streets, I saw different scenery along the way, with a little surprise on every stretch. This ride on the Kumamoto City Tram also became a very special memory from my trip. -
