The Tenjin Festival at Tenmangu Shrine, held every year from July 23rd to 25th, is one of Japan's top three festivals. It's always super lively and exciting!

SATUDORA Tanukikoji Daio Building Store
SATUDORA Tanukikoji Daio Building Store is a spacious two-story store located on a corner in Tanukikoji 5-chome, part of Sapporo’s famous covered shopping arcade. It's within walking distance of Sapporo Station, Odori Station, and Susukino Station. As the arcade is covered, it’s also easy to visit on rainy or snowy days. Its convenient location also makes it an ideal stop before or after sightseeing or a meal.
The aisles are spacious, and they have shopping carts and an elevator, so you don't have to worry about carrying everything even if you buy a lot. I browsed from the first floor to the third, and before I knew it, my basket was full.

Isuien Garden
A nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty featuring a strolling pond garden. Despite its location on the north side of Nara Park, between Todai-ji Temple and Kofuku-ji Temple, Isuien Garden is a tranquil Japanese garden secluded from its surroundings. It consists of two sections: the Front Garden, created in the early Edo period, and the Back Garden, developed during the Meiji period. Together, they offer a glimpse into the aesthetics of two different eras.
I really liked the design of Isuien Garden. Each section of the path offers a different perspective, and as you walk, you see the pond, waterfall, tea house, and distant mountain scenery all connected together. It didn't feel crowded at all, so I could quietly enjoy how nature and the garden blend together.

Deai Bridge
Deai Bridge is a 107-meter-long suspension bridge that leads to the Shirakawa-go gassho-zukuri village, a registered World Heritage site. The bridge connects the convenient public parking area, 'Village-Operated Sesaragi Park Parking Lot', to the village, and crossing the bridge brings you to the entrance of the village.
It feels like walking into a fairy tale. It’s a tiny village, and all the houses are so cute.
The steep, tall gassho-style roofs are really distinctive. Seeing it for the first time, I couldn’t stop taking photos. -
