Fuji-Q Highland is definitely a paradise for thrill ride lovers! The three signature must-rides: the view of Mount Fuji from high up on the FUJIYAMA roller coaster is stunning; DODODONPA's acceleration is so intense it feels like your heart stops; and Takabisha's crazy 121-degree drop is incredibly satisfying.
This time at Fuji-Q Highland, I really thought it was super thrilling and fun! As soon as I saw the roller coasters, I couldn't help feeling both excited and scared. Especially at the moment when they climbed high and then plunged down at high speed, I couldn't stop screaming, and it felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. My legs were a little weak afterward, but it was incredibly satisfying. There are also lots of fun rides throughout the park, and every one left a strong impression. This trip to Fuji-Q wasn't just fun—it also tested my courage and became a truly unforgettable memory from my travels in Japan!

Mt. Otowa Kiyomizu-dera Temple
Opened in the year 778, the temple was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994. In the 130, 000 m2 area of the precincts spread out on the hillside of Mt. Otowa, there are more than 30 cathedrals and monuments, including national treasures and important cultural properties.
Upon entering Kiyomizu-dera Temple, what moved me most was the Kiyomizu Stage, which is suspended above the ground using mortise-and-tenon joinery without a single nail. Looking out from the edge of the wooden platform, I saw lush green mountains interwoven with the ancient cityscape of Kyoto. I could deeply feel both the solid weight of the historic architecture and the boundless wisdom of traditional craftsmanship.
Following the mountain path at a leisurely pace, I arrived at the famous Otowa Waterfall, where three streams of spring water slowly flow down from the cliff, representing health, academic success, and good relationships. Scooping up the spring water with a long-handled ladle, every sip carried a prayer and hope for the future. Amid the clear sound of the flowing spring, my whole spirit seemed to be cleansed and returned to tranquility and peace.
This visit was not only a visual tour of historic landmarks, but also a deeply calming journey for the soul. -

LEGOLAND®︎ Japan
A themepark that brings a world filled with LEGO® blocks to life. Divided into 8 different zones, you can enjoy areas like LEGO® NINJAGO® sets at LEGO® NINJAGO World, or set off on your own quest in the “Adventure” area.
The entrance to LEGOLAND Japan in Nagoya feels like stepping into a colorful LEGO box magnified millions of times! Scenes built with more than 17 million LEGO bricks are everywhere, while the scent of caramel popcorn and the sound of children screaming fill the air. Whether you're admiring enormous brick dinosaurs up close or wandering through colorful brick streets, your inner child and sense of adventure are instantly awakened. The whole park is filled with an irresistible childlike excitement.
The attractions here aren't just static displays—they're full of surprises and action! On Submarine Adventure, you can watch real sharks swim alongside a LEGO shipwreck through glass portholes. In Miniland, famous landmarks from across Japan are vividly recreated in LEGO form at a 1:1 scale, and even the little trains and vehicles move on their own. The most thrilling ride has to be The Dragon. Racing and twisting above the castle with the wind rushing past is just exciting enough, and even adults can have a great time.
When you're tired from playing, don't miss the park-exclusive LEGO fries! These golden, crispy, brick-shaped fries are soft and tasty inside and so eye-catching that they're perfect for photos.

Asahi Super Dry
This long-selling product has been a hit since its launch in 1987 as Japan’s first dry beer. Its refreshing taste and pleasantly light mouthfeel pair well with all types of food.
My first time trying Asahi. Ice-cold, it was refreshing and smooth, with a light, pleasant bitterness. It went especially well with fried food and yakiniku. Having a drink with friends while traveling, chatting and enjoying good food, really gave me the feeling of traveling in Japan!
