In the crystal-clear “Kouri Blue” waters, these two natural heart-shaped rocks nestle together as if witnessing eternal love. The white sand, waves lapping against the shore, and heart-shaped rocks create a stunning scene. Every photo looks like a romantic postcard, and quietly watching the waves makes this a truly heart-stirring spot.

Tokyo Midtown Yaesu
Directly connected to JR Tokyo Station, Tokyo Midtown Yaesu is a mega retailer built around the concept of “Japan Presentation Field - A City Where Japan’s Dreams Gather and the World’s Dreams Grow.”
This time I made a special detour to Tokyo Midtown Yaesu mainly to buy the extremely popular souvenir I’d been wanting for a long time: New York Perfect Cheese cheese butter cookies. Before leaving, I did some research and found out there was a shop here. I could conveniently stop by while transferring at JR Tokyo Station without having to line up at one of the popular locations. I was so happy that I was able to get these cheese cookies.
After buying what I came for, I leisurely explored the underground shopping area and mall. The space was comfortable and easy to browse. For travelers, it’s perfectly connected to Tokyo Station, and getting around is very smooth and convenient. It’s a nice place that I’d like to visit again.

Grapestone “Tokyo Banana Mitsuketa (found)”
“Tokyo Banana” was created in 1991 and has become a major souvenir from Tokyo. The fluffy sponge cake has a filling of pureed banana custard cream.
When it comes to Tokyo’s most iconic souvenirs, Tokyo Banana is definitely one of them. A friend had previously given me the classic version, and I’ve always liked its cute banana shape. On this trip to Japan, I happened to see the super eye-catching Pikachu collaboration and was completely won over by how adorable it looked, so I couldn’t resist buying it.
Overall, the design is really detailed and unique, and the texture is still soft and fluffy. However, the filling was a little too sweet for me. If you enjoy it with a cup of unsweetened black coffee or hot tea, the sweetness becomes just right and it tastes much better overall.

Sendai MaaS
We all know the pains of traveling, booking tickets for public transportation and places on the other side. That’s where Sendai MaaS comes in, leading as an online service for streamlined travels in Sendai.
Many cities in Japan now offer digital tickets, and Sendai’s MaaS system is very convenient. The best part is that there’s no need to download another app—you can easily use it right from your phone’s web browser.
You can freely combine transportation tickets based on your itinerary. It’s especially cost-effective to use a MaaS combination ticket if you plan to visit the planetarium or the Anpanman Children’s Museum. With just a few taps, you can buy a one-day sightseeing bus pass in advance without worrying about accidentally losing a paper ticket. This digital service lets you handle all your transportation and attraction tickets with just one phone and no physical tickets, making independent travel plans more flexible and efficient. It’s a very convenient new option that I highly recommend when visiting Sendai.
