Every spring, Gappo Park gets super lively with around 150,000 visitors coming for the Aomori Spring Festival. The park's 670 cherry trees—including Somei Yoshino, weeping cherry, Satozakura, and Oyama cherry—are all in full bloom. It's a fantastic sight!

Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu
Mount Takao is a Michelin 3-star destination that sees countless tourists from Japan and across the world. It’s also home to Keio Takaosan Onsen Gokurakuyu, a coveted daytrip hot springs spot located conveniently near Takaosan-guchi station so you can easily tack on a dip to your next hiking or sightseeing trip.
The outdoor hot spring was super relaxing. On a clear day, soaking while enjoying the mountain view is just the best way to unwind.

Ueno Tosho-gu
A shrine dedicated to the first shogun of the Edo shogunate (1603-1867), Tokugawa Ieyasu.
It's super easy to walk here from Ueno Station. Visiting the zoo and museum along the way makes for a perfect little trip.

JR Asahikawa Station
The city of Asahikawa is located in the center of Hokkaido. The JR Asahikawa Station is central to the east-west and north-south rail system in Hokkaido.
Asahikawa Station is absolutely beautiful. If you're a train enthusiast, you'll love it here! Every photo I took inside the station turned out amazing. I definitely consider Asahikawa Station a must-visit spot in Hokkaido.
