You get to enjoy the outdoor scenery the whole way. The staff even sing and interact with passengers, which makes for a fantastic atmosphere. Totally worth checking out!

Hakodate Yunokawa Onsen Umi to Akari/ Hewitt Resort
Located in Yunokawa Onsen-one of Hokkaido’s three major hot spring resorts-this seaside retreat offers a luxurious stay overlooking the Tsugaru Strait. The highlight is the rooftop infinity open-air bath, where the horizon blends seamlessly with the sea and sky. At night, guests can enjoy the enchanting view of the moon and the glowing lights of fishing boats that inspired the hotel’s name, “Umi to Akari” (Sea and Light). Watching the moonlight shimmer on the water while sipping local Hakodate sake is an unforgettable experience.
The overall vibe is minimalist Japanese style, but every detail is spot on. You really get that "luxurious but not flashy" feeling here.

TV Asahi Atrium
The TV Asahi headquarters is the beloved broadcast home of “Doraemon” and other classic, famous anime. Located inside Roppongi Hills, some of the studio grounds are even open to browse and explore.
Visiting the TV Asahi Atrium is a great chance to experience how modern media operates. It's also a window into Japanese media culture.

Atomic Bomb Dome (Peace Memorial Park)
The Atomic Bomb Dome was originally designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel and completed on April 5, 1915, as the Hiroshima Prefectural Products Exhibition Hall. However, it was severely damaged by the atomic bombing, just 160 meters from the hypocenter. Its exposed steel framework and crumbling exterior walls have been preserved as they were immediately after the bombing, and the building eventually came to be known as the Atomic Bomb Dome.
With all the recent news about the Russia-Ukraine war, I can't help but feel really worried.
