The Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter has such a poetic and picturesque vibe. With little bridges, flowing water, and trees swaying in the wind, it really reminds me of Suzhou in Jiangnan, China. But honestly, it's gotten a bit too popular and commercialized, so it's lost some of its original simple charm.

Tamagawa Takashimaya S / C
Tamagawa Takashimaya Shopping Center stands as a pioneering figure in Japan's suburban shopping center scene, affectionately known by locals as "TamaTaka" for its long-standing relationship with the community.
It's just a two-minute walk from Futako-Tamagawa Station, so shopping here is super convenient.

Dogo Shotengai (Dogo Haikara Dori)
Nicknamed “Dogo Haikara Dori”, the Dogo Shotengai is a shopping arcade connected to Dogo Onsen Honkan. At 250-meters in length, this L-shaped shopping arcade connects the stretch from the main building of Dogo Onsen to Dogo Onsen Station, the final stop on the Iyotetsu train lines.
The shopping street is packed with tourists. Some people are even strolling around in yukata, which looks so cool! The mix of trendy shops and people in traditional Japanese clothing just feels so natural together. 🥰

HELLO KITTY SMILE
“HELLO KITTY SMILE” is a media art and restaurant combination on the coast of Awaji Island, featuring an eye-catching giant Hello Kitty head. Experience the mysterious underwater world of Hello Kitty at “Otohime Dragon Palace,” and enjoy delicious food at multiple restaurant options.
As a huge Hello Kitty fan, I went through so much just to find the giant white HELLO KITTY here. But it was totally worth it once I arrived!
