It feels so cool and comfortable up here in the summer, and the air is amazing. The summer flowers are blooming beautifully, too.

Hiroshima PARCO
Hiroshima PARCO is the go-to destination for the latest fashion in Japan’s Chugoku-Shikoku region. Complete with two buildings and 150 stores inside, this coveted hub along the busy shopping streets of Hondori and Namiki-dori is one of the largest retailers that always packs a punch.
The location is super convenient, right in the city center. After shopping, you can easily head over to Hondori Shopping Street. The layout is great and easy to navigate—not a maze at all.

Shirakawa-go Light-up Event
Located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed gassho-zukuri village of Shirakawa-go, this event, held on specific days in January and February, draws large crowds annually. The sight of the iconic, thatched triangular roofs of the gassho-style houses blanketed in snow, illuminated against the night, evokes a fairy-tale-like look and feel.
The light-up event only happens a few times a year, so being able to see it in person is really special. I feel super lucky!

Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro
Come one come all to Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro, one of Tokyo’s largest mega retailers made easily accessible thanks to direct access to the west exit of Ikebukuro Station.
The department store is directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, so it's super convenient whether you're taking the subway or JR lines.
