Standing at the top of the castle and looking down at the streets below, I felt like I ruled the world!

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
Whether you're here for the flowers or just to enjoy the lush lawns, it's really soothing.

Hirakata T-SITE
Located in Hirakata City, halfway between Osaka and Kyoto, this eight-story, one-basement shopping complex opened in 2016 with the theme of "A lifestyle department store that accompanies and adds colors to your daily life". Centered on the Tsutaya Bookstore, which sells books, there are stores such as knick-knacks, apparel, cosmetics, cafes, restaurants, and more.
The design and decor, both inside and out, are super refined. It really shows off a new lifestyle vibe. I wish we had more big shopping malls with bookstores like this in Taiwan.

Kumano Hayatama Taisha
Having been called the "land of resurrection," it is a shrine with the never-ceasing worshipers who are seeking the courage and readiness to take a new step in the passages of life.
This is one of the three most famous shrines in Wakayama. What makes it unique is the 'Yatagarasu' shrine, which worships crows. Legend says crows are messengers of the Japanese emperor. Maybe that's why you see so many big, chubby crows all over Japan!
