The two escalators that go straight up to the observation floor are super stylish, and riding them is actually pretty thrilling.

Tokamachi Snow Festival
Held every mid-February in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, this is one of the largest snow festivals in the region, first launched in 1950 under the theme “Be friends with snow, enjoy the snow.”
It feels even more magical once the lights come on at night. The whole town gets in on it.
Watching the snow sculptures while eating hot food is pure happiness. Yes, it’s definitely cold, but the vibe is so good it really feels worth coming at least once.

Dotonbori
Crab, octopus, cow, crane….these are just a few of the oversized 3D signboards that make up the look and feel of the bustling Dotonbori Area. Its packed with a number of eateries along the northern Dotonbori River and main street along its southern side.
Even if you come late at night, there are still 24-hour drugstores and restaurants open. Super convenient!

APA Hotel & Resort Tokyo Bay Makuhari
This mega hotel is made up of a 180m-tall Central Tower with east and west wings on either side, housing over 2,000 rooms in all. The Central Tower provides the grand ocean view and romantic city lights at night.
Small rooms are always a feature of the APA chain, but the Makuhari location is well-equipped with a convenience store and a large public bath. The value for the price is fantastic.
