Nagoya’s Sekai no Yamachan truly lives up to its reputation for Maboroshi no Tebasaki! The skin is grilled until golden and crispy, and the savory, salty flavor of the signature pepper seasoning pairs perfectly with it. Juices burst out with every bite. A plate may look like a lot, but they’re so addictive that you can’t help eating one after another, and they’re gone in no time. No wonder they’re a must-try Nagoya specialty!

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
新宿御苑是東京首屈一指的賞櫻勝地，園內廣闊的草坪上種植了超過65種、近千株的櫻花。從早開的寒櫻、河津櫻，到壓軸的染井吉野櫻與八重櫻，接力盛開。這裡融合了日式庭園、英式風景與法式幾何設計，景致迷人。每到春天，遊客與當地居民紛紛帶著野餐墊坐在櫻花樹下，一邊品嚐美食、一邊欣賞浪漫美景，感受東京的春日氣息。

Starbucks Coffee Dazaifu Tenmangu Omotesando Store
Starbucks Coffee Dazaifu Tenmangu Omotesando Store opened in 2011, right next to the torii gate facing the Omotesando Avenue of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. This is one of the "Regional Landmark Stores," originally designed by Starbucks in iconic locations throughout Japan to promote the attractive local culture to the rest of the world.
This Starbucks was designed by master architect Kengo Kuma. Its most striking feature is the use of approximately 2,000 pieces of traditional timber, woven diagonally and extending from the interior to the exterior. The entire building was constructed without a single metal nail. The flowing wooden lines perfectly complement the historical and cultural atmosphere of Dazaifu, blending nature, tradition, and modern architectural aesthetics. It’s an artistic landmark and photo spot you definitely shouldn’t miss when visiting Tenmangu Shrine!

Great Seto Bridge
Great Seto Bridge connects Okayama Prefecture on the main Island and Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku Island. This name is for all the six bridges that stretch for 9.4km (5.8 miles) over the channel. Different types such as suspension bridge, cable-stayed bridge, and truss bridge are connected together.
The most unforgettable part of cycling along the Shimanami Kaido is crossing one bridge after another over the sea, with sweeping views of the deep blue water, scattered islands, and distant mountains along the way. This approximately 70-kilometer route connects Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture with Imabari in Ehime Prefecture, linking several islands in the Seto Inland Sea. Riding across the bridges with the sea breeze and expansive ocean views is a very special travel experience.
