The penguin walk, paired with upbeat music, is such a highlight! Watching the king penguins parade up close is definitely the main attraction.

Noboribetsu Jigoku Festival
Held every year on the last weekend of August in Noboribetsu Onsen, the Noboribetsu Jigoku Festival is a grand event that reenacts the legend of Enma, King of Hell, arriving at the hot spring town with his demons after the cauldron lid of Hell Valley is opened.
It was really cold at night. I didn't bring a jacket, so I was shivering while watching the event.

Osaka Great Sky Art Fireworks
The fireworks event is held at Rinku Park, located across from Kansai International Airport. First launched in 2022 as "Osaka Bay Rinku Art Fireworks," the event was renamed "Osaka Great Sky Art Fireworks" in 2024.
The fireworks synced with the music were so dynamic—it felt more like an aerial performance than just a regular fireworks show. The atmosphere was romantic and moving. Highly recommend!

Kumano Kodo
The Kumano Kodo is a network of pilgrimage routes leading to the Kumano Sanzan, a collective name for Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine, Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine, Kumano Nachi Taisha Grand Shrine, and Nachisan Seiganto-ji Temple. As devotion to Kumano grew, members of the Imperial family began using these routes to make pilgrimages to Kumano, and the practice eventually spread to the general public.
The ancient pilgrimage trail is just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. But you need to watch out for tree roots sticking out. If it rains, the path gets really muddy, so it's best to check the weather before heading out.
