Springtime at Ueno Park is just unforgettable because of the cherry blossoms! There are about 1,200 cherry trees blooming all at once. During the cherry blossom festival, you'll find tons of food stalls selling beer, yakisoba, oden, okonomiyaki, and more, so it's always lively. I never bring anything with me—just enjoy the blossoms and grab snacks from the stalls nearby. It feels so happy and lucky~

Tanga Market
Tanga Market, the kitchen of Kitakyushu citizens, is a 10-minute walk from JR Kokura Station. It has a nostalgic atmosphere as if you have time-traveled back to the "Showa" era.
Tanga Market really has that traditional market vibe! Highly recommend checking it out—you can really experience what it's like for locals to shop here. 👍

Tenjin Chikagai
Tenjin is Kyushu’s largest downtown district and is located in Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. Tenjin Chikagai is an underground shopping mall stretching approximately 600 meters beneath Watanabe-dori Avenue, from Showa-dori Avenue in the north to Kokusai-dori Avenue in the south. Its 1st through 12th Avenues are lined with around 150 shops offering fashion, dining, sundries, books, and more.
I visited Tenjin Chikagai in Fukuoka and after shopping there, I realized Kyushu has such an awesome underground shopping street! All those trendy clothes, stylish bags, and practical shoes totally made me go crazy—I just kept swiping my card and buying stuff! Highly recommend checking this place out!

Kaiseizan Park
Located directly across from Koriyama City Hall, Kaiseizan Park is an urban park regarded as a symbol of Koriyama. Centered around Lake Isuzu, which was created for irrigation, the park is a popular urban oasis for local residents.
Wow, Kaiseizan Park! The cherry blossoms are overflowing along the path, even spilling over the walls... So beautiful! 👍
