Gran Vista Tsunoshima
Located near the historic Tsunoshima Lighthouse, a designated National Important Cultural Property, Gran Vista Tsunoshima is a seaside restaurant where guests can enjoy exquisite meals while taking in stunning ocean views. The terrace, in particular, is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets over the sea.
The main selling point here really isn’t the food, it’s the view.
From your seat you’re looking straight at the Tsunoshima Bridge with this endless, insanely blue ocean in front of you.
When the weather’s nice, you honestly get distracted while you eat because you just keep staring outside. It’s also an amazing spot for photos.

Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama Main Store
Nestled in Arashiyama, one of Kyoto’s most scenic and beloved tourist destinations, Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama Main Store is a world-renowned ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant), located along the path from Togetsukyo Bridge to Tenryu-ji Temple.
The atmosphere here is just incredible—everything from the garden to the food feels like a work of art. Every kaiseki dish is beautifully crafted and really reflects the season. It's pricey, but totally worth it!

Inawashiro Lake
Overlooking Mount Bandai in the north, Inawashiro Lake is the fourth largest in Japan, covering an area of approximately 103 square kilometers and reaching depths of up to 93 meters. During the summer, the lake becomes a bustling hub for water activities such as swimming, boating, and fishing. Centrally located in Fukushima Prefecture, it spans the cities of Aizuwakamatsu and Koriyama, as well as Inawashiro Town.
Visited again after the pandemic—watching the birds and swans swimming in the lake was so relaxing. I really enjoyed the peaceful and calm vibe.
