Mitsui Garden Hotel felt very warm and comfortable overall. The room had a simple design and was spacious without feeling cramped. After walking all day, I could return to the room, relax, and ease the fatigue from traveling. I really liked the sofa area. In the evening, I could buy some snacks I liked, bring them back to the hotel, and slowly enjoy them on the sofa while having some relaxing time to myself.

JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo
Occupying the upper floors of the iconic JR Tower, one of the tallest buildings in Hokkaido, this luxury hotel offers direct access to Sapporo Station, making it a perfect base for both sightseeing and business travel. The hotel features 330 elegantly appointed rooms, all offering breathtaking views of downtown Sapporo, Ishikari Bay, and on clear days, even the distant Daisetsuzan mountain range.
One of the biggest advantages of JR Tower Hotel Nikko Sapporo is its truly convenient location! The hotel is directly connected to Sapporo Station, saving time whether you're taking the JR or heading to other attractions around the city. This is a major plus for independent travelers. Especially when visiting Sapporo in winter, there's often snow outside, and the roads are slippery and prone to icing over, so dragging a suitcase any distance can be really difficult. For anyone traveling to Hokkaido in winter, convenient transportation is definitely a very important consideration when choosing accommodations.

LOG (Hiroshima Prefecture)
LOG is a three-story hotel complex located midway up Mount Senkoji, a popular spot offering spectacular views of the Onomichi Channel.
While strolling around Mount Senkoji, it's easy to have your eye caught by LOG on the mountainside. This three-story hotel complex has a rustic yet refined exterior that fits in well with the nostalgic atmosphere unique to Onomichi. When passing by, you can't help but stop and take a few more looks at this distinctive building.
LOG isn't just a place to stay; it also brings together dining and lifestyle aesthetics, with an overall design that's simple yet tasteful. Even if you're not staying there, just passing by and enjoying the architecture and surrounding scenery leaves a lasting impression. If you have time, consider stopping by the café for a meal accompanied by a beautiful view. -

Rilakkuma Store Tokyo Station
Rilakkuma Store Tokyo Station is a specialty shop dedicated to Rilakkuma, built around the concept “Happy life with Rilakkuma.” It opened in 2009 as Japan’s first official standalone Rilakkuma shop. Since then, it has become a favorite destination for a wide range of visitors, from children to adults.
Speaking of Rilakkuma stores, don't miss this one in Dogo Onsen! The whole store is filled with cuteness, and you can also find plenty of exclusive items featuring Dogo Onsen elements. The limited-edition plush toys are especially appealing—each one is hard to put down.
Some popular items are limited in quantity and occasionally sell out, so if you see something you like, you may want to take it home right away. They're great for your own collection or as travel souvenirs! -
