At Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm, you definitely can't miss the farm's popular soft-serve ice cream! As soon as I got it, I noticed its rich aroma. It had a very strong milky flavor and was smooth and creamy, with every bite full of rich dairy goodness.

The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace
The East Gardens of the Imperial Palace are located within the Imperial Palace, where Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress reside, and are managed by the Imperial Household Agency. Developed from parts of the former Honmaru, Ninomaru, and Sannomaru areas of Edo Castle, the gardens are open to the public as an Imperial Palace garden. The grounds feature many valuable historic sites that preserve traces of the Edo period, including the Tenshudai, the stone base built to support Edo Castle’s main keep, as well as three guardhouses and Fujimi-yagura.
At the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, I originally thought I would just be looking at historic sites, but I didn’t expect there to be so many flowers and plants around the grounds. The lush greenery felt especially relaxing.
Walking around the Imperial Palace, you can see wide paths, neatly arranged trees, and all kinds of plants. It’s far from the noise of the city, with a more peaceful and laid-back atmosphere. You can take a leisurely stroll, enjoy the scenery, and stop occasionally to take photos. There’s no need to plan anything special to enjoy one of the little pleasures of traveling.
I really like this kind of green space tucked away in bustling Tokyo. It lets you slow down for a while and take in the surrounding scenery. If you happen to be tired from sightseeing or just want somewhere to take a walk, the area around the East Gardens of the Imperial Palace is a great choice!

Maneki Neko Museum
Japan’s first museum dedicated to maneki-neko, displaying Approx. 800 lucky cats collected from across the country. From cats raising their right paw, left paw, or both paws to those in unique poses like lying down or dancing, visitors can enjoy comparing differences in materials and expressions.
The Maneki Neko Museum is truly soothing with all the lucky cats everywhere! There are so many maneki-neko of all shapes and sizes, and each one has a different pose, expression, and special features. You can’t help but take your time admiring them one by one.
I originally thought maneki-neko all looked pretty much the same, but once I actually stepped inside, I realized that every one really is different! Some are cute and charming, some have unusual designs, and they come in all kinds of colors and styles. There’s so much to see. Each maneki-neko has its own charm, and whether you’re hoping to attract wealth, blessings, or good luck, it feels like you can find one you like.
The museum has quite an extensive collection, and anyone who likes cats or Japanese culture will have a great time here. I spent quite a while looking around and taking photos without even realizing it. It’s definitely a place maneki-neko fans shouldn’t miss!

Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence
This is a sunscreen essence for face and body. Impressively light even when reapplied or layered! It prevents uneven application even at the microscopic level.
When choosing sunscreen, I care not only about sun protection but also about how it feels on my face. After all, I need to wear it for long periods every day when commuting to work, shopping, or traveling. If the texture is too heavy or sticky, it really makes it less pleasant to use.
This sunscreen is marketed as a moisturizing watery essence. It has a hydrating texture and is relatively easy to spread, making it suitable for people who like a moisturized feel and don't want their skin to feel too dry. Apply sunscreen before going out for daily skin protection and to make your skincare routine more complete!
