I saw an acure vending machine at Karuizawa Station, and it felt like an everyday part of traveling in Japan! Vending machines are everywhere in the station, so whenever you want a drink, you can easily buy one. It’s really convenient.
This time, I happened to see it while waiting for the train and passing through the station, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo as a keepsake.

Kouri Beach
Located on Kouri Island, just across the Kouri Ohashi Bridge from Yagaji Island in Nago City, this beach features pristine white sand stretching on either side of the bridge, offering a scenic view of Kouri Ohashi Bridge itself.
Kouri Beach in Okinawa caught my eye at first sight with its ocean view! The water is a beautiful blue and so clear that you can see beneath the surface. The entire ocean looks incredibly clean and crystal clear.
Standing by the shore with the sea breeze blowing and looking out over the endless blue water made me feel completely relaxed. As the sunlight shines on the water, it takes on different shades of blue depending on the angle. It’s really beautiful.
