The Statue of Liberty in Odaiba is located near Odaiba Seaside Park, facing Tokyo Bay, with the spectacular Rainbow Bridge in the background. The whole scene feels very characteristic of Tokyo. Especially when the weather is nice, the blue sky, ocean view, statue, and Rainbow Bridge all come together beautifully. It's a popular photo spot that many visitors consider a must when they come to Odaiba!

Kubota (Asahi Shuzo)
Produced by Asahi Shuzo in Niigata Prefecture, Kubota is a sake brand known for its clean, refined style. The lineup includes the crisp and transparent Senju and the elegant, deeply expressive Manju, along with a wide range of offerings such as Kubota Junmai Daiginjo, Kubota Sparkling, and the seasonal limited-release Suiju.
Kubota Hyakuju is a well-known Japanese sake. It has a subtle rice aroma on the palate and a clean, refreshing body. Its style is light, dry, and crisp, without feeling overly sweet or cloying. It’s light and smooth to drink, with a slightly dry edge and a clean finish that doesn’t leave behind a heavy alcohol taste.
I originally thought Japanese sake would be rather harsh, but this one was surprisingly easy to drink. It pairs well with Japanese cuisine and is an easy-drinking sake that doesn’t get tiring.

HANAGATAYA
Swing by Gransta Tokyo to find a boutique shop for souvenirs and bento boxes in three different spots: the central corridor on the first floor, the north corridor, and Keiyo Street. The shop name is a nod to brightening people’s day like “hanagata” actors on stage with amazing, signature items just waiting in a bright and colorful array.
Tokyo Banana is a very famous souvenir from Japan, and you’ll see it almost everywhere in Tokyo! Its cute banana shape is appealing just to look at. The outer cake is very soft, fluffy, and delicate, with a rich banana custard filling inside. You can taste the sweet banana flavor as soon as you take a bite, along with plenty of creamy flavor. Overall, it isn’t overly sweet and goes down very easily.

Karuizawa Garden Farm, Strawberry Garden
The farm gives a sweeping view of Mt. Asama, famous for the strawberry picking available throughout the year. The Summer / Autumn Strawberry Picking is held from July to November, and The Premium Winter Strawberry Picking is held from late December to June.
We tried strawberry picking at Karuizawa Garden Farm Strawberry Garden. Unlike the usual image of picking strawberries in an outdoor field, the strawberries here are grown indoors in a greenhouse. The entire space is very clean, with no mud or mess when you walk in, making it a very comfortable environment.
Bright red strawberries hang from the plants, looking very tempting. They’re also at a convenient height, so you can easily pick them without constantly bending over. It was a lot of fun walking around looking for big, beautiful strawberries. Whenever we spotted a ripe, plump one, we couldn’t resist picking it and giving it a try.
