Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura is a must-see spot for cherry blossom viewing! The street is about 1.3 kilometers long and lined with tons of Someiyoshino cherry trees. Highly, highly recommended~~~~~

Hakone Sightseeing Cruise
A sightseeing ship that operates on Lake Ashinoko, a scenic spot in Hakone. The three ships, Royale II, Victory, and Queen Ashinoko, are characterized by their colorful and luxurious decorations. Each of them has a capacity of about 500 passengers and takes 25 to 35 minutes each way between Togendai Port, Hakone-machi Port, and Moto-Hakone Port. On a sunny day, the open deck is a great place to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the pleasant breeze and the seasonal views of nature and mountains.
The Hakone Sightseeing Cruise on Lake Ashinoko is the best way to explore the area! The views from the boat are beautiful 👍. As you get closer to Hakone-machi Port, you can even see the majestic Mt. Fuji. Riding the boat is definitely a great experience.

Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter
The traditional streets of the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter feature white walled warehouses, grid pattern walls, Namako-kabe, and rows of weeping trees, creating a beautiful and charming townscape. This harmonious and historic scenery is very popular with tourists.
Kurashiki Bikan has some of the most nostalgic scenery in Japan. Walking in, you'll find old residential streets, and the peaceful atmosphere even earned it a Michelin 2-star rating... It's just so beautiful! ❤️

Katsuo-ji Temple
Surrounded by a national park in the surrounding area, Katsuo-ji Temple in Minoh is an ancient temple with a history of about 1,300 years, founded in the Nara period (710-794). Within the temple's vast grounds, which cover an area of about 80,000 square meters, are the main hall and temple gate, which were rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyori, and Sanpoukoujin Shrine, which is believed to be the first Arakami shrine in Japan.
The victory daruma is the symbol of Katsuo-ji Temple! You can pray here for success in business, exams, jobs—pretty much any kind of victory.
