Rusutsu Resort
This expansive, all-season resort-one of the largest in Hokkaido-features ski areas, golf courses, an amusement park, hotels, and more across its vast grounds.
Overall it’s a huge, really well-equipped resort-style theme park.
In winter it’s super famous for skiing.
The snow quality is great and there are lots of runs, so both beginners and advanced skiers can have fun.
In summer it turns into an amusement park + golf + outdoor activities, so there’s something to do all year round and it never feels boring. -
Sennenzake Kikkawa Izutsuya
Opened in 2017, this was Murakami City’s first specialty salmon restaurant, located in a region of Niigata Prefecture known as Japan's "town of salmon."
The flavor is really deep and rich, but not overly salty. You can tell it's been aged for a long time. It goes perfectly with rice—one bite of salmon, one bite of white rice, and before you know it, you've finished your meal. So good!

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
Shinjuku Gyoen is honestly so relaxing~🌸 Even though it's right in busy Shinjuku, stepping inside feels like entering a whole new world. Huge lawns, gardens, and ponds make for a really pleasant walk. The cherry blossoms in spring are gorgeous, and the autumn leaves have a great vibe too. Perfect spot for a picnic or just a slow stroll to clear your mind.
