Tirolian rolled cookies come in so many flavors that you'll want to try every one! The crispy cookie shell pairs well with the smooth filling, and they're moderately sweet without being cloying. The individual packaging is also very convenient, making them perfect as a snack to carry in your bag or to share with friends and family. Chidoriya is a long-established Japanese confectionery founded during the Edo period. It has created a variety of popular sweets over the years while preserving its traditional confectionery-making spirit, and Tirolian is one of the brand's signature products.

Ghibli Museum, Mitaka
In Tokyo's Mitaka lies the Ghibli Museum, overseen by Director Hayao Miyazaki. Studio Ghibli, established in 1985, is a Japanese animation studio known for planning and producing films primarily directed by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki.
Before Ghibli Park opened in Nagoya, the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka in Tokyo was definitely a pilgrimage destination for every Hayao Miyazaki fan visiting Japan.
The entire museum was personally designed by Hayao Miyazaki around the concept of “Let’s get lost together.” There is no fixed route through the museum at all. It is filled with curved wooden staircases, stained glass, and geometric windows, creating the atmosphere of a dreamlike castle. The hand-drawn animation exhibit on the first floor recreates an animator’s work desk and displays countless sketches and sources of color inspiration. The exclusive Saturn Theater screens short animated films that can only be seen at the museum, while the giant God Warrior statue standing in the rooftop garden is a classic photo spot.
Even after all these years, what I treasure most is still that one-of-a-kind admission ticket stub! Made from actual 35mm film stock, each ticket has three randomly selected frames, making every one a unique surprise. I was lucky enough to get the classic scene of Yubaba’s office from Spirited Away. When light shines through it, the details are incredibly intricate. This utmost dedication to detail makes it something I can’t bear to put down!

HEP FIVE
“HEP” stands for “Hankyu Entertainment Park”, where “entertainment” has both meanings; “entertainment” as well as “hospitality”. It was founded in November 1998 aiming to create a place where we serve hospitality which makes people want to visit again and again. When the bright red ferris wheel first appeared in the middle of the city, it became a hot topic because it was the world’s first ferris wheel which is a part of the building and equipped with air conditioning. Since then, it became a landmark of Umeda.
HEP FIVE in Osaka’s Umeda district is a trendy shopping center popular with young people, offering a wide variety of fashion brands, general merchandise, and food. The mall’s most iconic landmark is the eye-catching, giant bright red Ferris wheel on the roof. From the ride, you can look out over downtown Osaka and the bustling streets of Umeda, and its romantic atmosphere has also made it a popular date spot.
