What I was looking forward to most at the Silo Observatory was taking in the view from above! Looking down from the observatory, you can see the entire Otaru cityscape, the port, and the mountains in the distance, with a very wide-open view. Feeling the pleasant sea breeze while slowly taking in the scenery was incredibly relaxing. It's especially beautiful for photos when the weather is good—a place where you can quietly enjoy the view and your time traveling.

Arakurayama Sengen Park
Arakurayama Sengen Park is famous as a place to view the splendid scenery of the magnificent Mount Fuji with a pagoda dedicated to those who died in battle. Inside the park grounds, about 650 Sakura trees have been planted. In the spring, the picturesque Japanese scenery of cherry blossoms, the pagoda, and Mount Fuji can be seen.
從下吉田站下車後，走一小段路就能抵達新倉山淺間公園的山腳。原本以為只是簡單走走，真正開始爬才發現，這裡最需要挑戰的不是山路，而是一長串接著一長串的階梯。
一路往上爬，階梯多到讓人忍不住回頭看看還有多少路，但階梯盡頭就能看到著名的富士山與五重塔相互交織的景色，令人神往。
要提醒的是，來新倉山淺間公園建議穿雙好走的鞋，心理也要先做好爬樓梯的準備😆

Shibuya Hikarie
A shopping center that offers many more ways to enjoy the experience other than just shopping and dining. Floors B3 to 5 comprise the shopping area “ShinQs by TOKYU DEPARTMENT STORE” which is designed in white and wood colors to create a soft atmosphere with many distinctive shops.
When I visited Shibuya Hikarie, I made a point of going upstairs to enjoy the free nighttime view. Looking down at the streets of Shibuya from above, the bustling Shibuya Scramble Crossing is what catches your eye the most. Crowds of people and streams of traffic crisscross as the lights from the surrounding buildings illuminate the entire city, creating a lively atmosphere that is uniquely Tokyo.
Watching pedestrians cross the intersection from every direction as the signals change, the dense crowds create an interesting scene. Shibuya is already bustling during the day, but looking down from above at night, you can feel the city's energy even more.
You can enjoy Shibuya's night view for free and take in the iconic crossing all at once, making this a worthwhile stop when visiting Shibuya.

Chicken Ramen Donburi
Chicken Ramen, the once-bagged variety now comes in a cup. It features a light and clean flavor derived from all-original chicken stock and roasted soy sauce. The taste is rich and smooth, featuring fluffy heaps of eggs as its main topping.
Cook a bowl of the original Chicken Ramen and add some cabbage and an egg—it’s simple and just right. The aroma of the chicken broth goes well with the light sweetness of the vegetables, and it still has that familiar taste. I’ve been eating it since I was little, and even after all these years, an occasional bowl still hits the spot. That’s how good food is—it doesn’t need many changes. The classic flavor is always there.
