Every year when I visit Japan, besides cherry blossoms and autumn leaves, now I have another great option.

Café & Bar Tower View Terrace
Located on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Prince Hotel in Minato’s Shiba Park area, Café & Bar Tower View Terrace is a stylish café and bar renowned for its stunning terrace overlooking Tokyo Tower. Surrounded by the beauty of the seasons-cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage-it offers a relaxing, open-air setting for dining in any season.
You can enjoy coffee or cocktails while getting an up-close view of Tokyo Tower—the scenery is absolutely beautiful. It's super comfy with sunlight streaming in during the day, and at night, the lights make it really romantic. There aren't a lot of seats, but it's pretty quiet, so it's great for dates or just having a drink and chatting. There are plenty of drink options, the desserts are tasty, and while the prices are a bit high, the view totally makes it worth it. I highly recommend going at dusk to watch the sunset turn into the night view—such a great atmosphere!

Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
The original castle was destroyed in air raids, and the current one is still being rebuilt. It looks quite different from how it used to be.

Morita Iron Works Gongendo Cherry Embankment (Gongendo Park)
Gongendo Cherry Embankment is a famous cherry blossom spot for the Kanto region. The contrasting colors of the pink tunnel of cherry blossoms, formed by around 1,000 Yoshino cherry trees over a length of 1km, and the yellow color of the rape blossoms that bloom below the embankment create a truly stunning view. The area has also been used as a set location in many movies, so many film fans visit to see the location of certain scenes.
The bright red cluster amaryllis are in full bloom—so gorgeous and unbelievably beautiful.
