It was my first time at a racecourse and experiencing horse racing. The atmosphere was intense and exciting—something you really have to feel in person.

Mt. Fuji Yume no Ohashi Bridge
A bridge on National Route 139 in Tadehara, Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. From the bridge, you can enjoy a full view of Mt. Fuji with no buildings, power lines, or other obstructions, making it a popular viewing spot in recent years. In particular, the composition in which the staircase section of the bridge looks as if it continues all the way to Mt. Fuji has become a popular photo spot, attracting many international visitors.
It’s really beautiful on a clear day. The view of the bridge with Mt. Fuji in the distance feels so dreamy, and pretty much every photo looks like a postcard.

cafe SKY 40
A stunning-view cafe inside the Kuchu Teien Observatory at Umeda Sky Building, the only site in Japan selected for a UK publisher’s “Top 20 Buildings in the World.” More than the location, the menu stands out, especially the original coffee made with carefully selected beans.
The coffee and desserts are solid but nothing mind-blowing. The view definitely makes it feel a lot better, though.
If you’re nearby or just want a cafe with a nice view, it’s a decent place to sit for a bit. -
Tokyo Metro Museum
This metro museum was opened in 1986. It is located underneath the elevated area of the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line’s Kasai Station. Admission tickets are purchased at a ticket machine like that which sells train tickets, and the entrance is designed to look like a ticket gate.
The driving simulator area is a big hit with kids. Adults can check out the history exhibits while the little ones enjoy the interactive stuff. There's something for everyone here.
