I went to the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo to see the Ron Mueck exhibition. The gallery was filled with huge skulls piled across the floor, creating a very powerful visual impact. Each one was slightly different, and up close you could see many details that gave the initially somewhat fantastical work a sense of realism. Standing among these giant skulls made me feel as though I had suddenly become very small. The exhibition was not only striking but also very memorable.

Yamagata Zao Onsen Ski Resort
With 26 courses and 34 lifts, this is the largest snow resort in Japan. The big slope is made up of 6 areas with an array of courses for beginners and the advanced. The quality of snow is so good that skiers and snowboarders flock here seeking for the fluffy powder snow.
A few years ago, I came here in winter to try skiing. The entire mountain was covered in snow, and everything was blanketed in white as far as the eye could see. The scenery was very dreamlike~ Skiing on real snow was both exciting and fun, and the beautiful snowy scenery all around made me want to keep taking photos. I could also admire the magnificent winter mountain views and fully experience the atmosphere of a snow country. It was an unforgettable winter travel memory!

Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse
Wa Rasse is an eye-catching, modern, red museum close to Aomori Station. It was opened in 2011 to preserve Aomori Nebuta Festival held between 2nd and 7th of August every year.
When I arrived at Nebuta Museum Wa Rasse in Aomori, I was immediately blown away by the enormous, brightly colored Nebuta floats! Each one is incredibly impressive, with exquisitely crafted facial expressions, costumes, and details. Seeing them up close is truly spectacular. With the lively festival music playing, it feels like you’re about to join everyone in a parade through the streets! Besides viewing the large floats, you can learn about the history and craftsmanship of the Nebuta Festival and even try drumming and other interactive festival activities, making the experience feel more engaging. Even if you don’t visit during the festival, you can still experience the charm of Aomori’s traditional culture. It’s definitely an attraction worth visiting!

Naritasan Park
On Naritasan temple grounds, there is an enormous park as big as 3.5 Tokyo Domes (165,000m2). In spring, 350 cherry trees blossom to delight visitors. The plum, wisteria, maple take turns to adorn the grounds throughout the year.
Naritasan Park is a great place for a relaxing stroll, with plenty of greenery, ponds, and small bridges. The scenery is beautiful, and walking through the park gives you a sense of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city~ Take your time enjoying the views along the paths, as each angle offers something different, all with the elegant atmosphere of a Japanese garden.
