Making senbei by hand in the hometown of rice was such a cool experience. The aroma when grilling is amazing, and the taste is great too. It's definitely a memorable activity.

Forest Adventure Yuzawa Nakazato
Forest Adventure Yuzawa Nakazato in Yuzawa, Niigata is a France-born outdoor park that is fully reservation-only. Located inside Yuzawa Nakazato Snow Resort, which is busy with skiers in winter, it is open from spring through fall. Two aerial courses let you travel through the trees while wearing a dedicated harness.
Perfect for anyone who loves outdoor activities!
Everything is set up in the forest, and the ropes, ziplines, and aerial obstacles are super exciting and definitely challenging.
You also get to enjoy the fresh air and all the greenery while you play, which is especially refreshing.
Great for friends or families—it's a nice mix of exercise and relaxation, and it feels so rewarding when you finish! -
Michi-no-Eki Amaharashi
Located along the Amaharashi Coast in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, this roadside station is known as a hidden spot to enjoy views of the Tateyama Mountains across Toyama Bay. Opened in 2018, it serves as a key hub for regional tourism.
The ocean view here is absolutely stunning! It's so relaxing to just sit back and enjoy the scenery. You can also grab some local specialties or coffee while you're here. Definitely worth a stop!

Valley of Gangala
Valley of Gangala, located in the southern part of Okinawa’s main island, was formed when a large limestone cave collapsed hundreds of thousands of years ago to reveal a vast valley. The roughly 1-kilometer trail winds through a subtropical forest grown over a millennia, giving visitors a full taste of the grandeur of nature in time.
The café is inside a cave, and the atmosphere is amazing. Having a cup of coffee here is such a treat.
