I really love Monet's Garden Impression. It's amazing that Japan was able to create a garden modeled after Monet's beloved one. Knowing that every scene here matches the painting makes me quietly feel like I'm experiencing the landscape Monet painted. It brings me so much joy!

Tojinbo Shopping Street
Tojinbo, one of the world’s three great scenic wonders, features dramatic rock pillars rising more than 20 meters above the Sea of Japan and stretching for about 1 kilometer. Along the road leading toward the sheer cliffs, a lively shopping street draws crowds of visitors.
As soon as you get to the entrance, you can smell grilled seafood. The smell is so good it literally slows you down.
The grilled jumbo shrimp are really tasty. The price isn’t cheap, but it’s pretty worth it. -
Hakata Daruma Main Store
Established in 1963, "Hakata Daruma Main Store" is a renowned Hakata ramen restaurant where the second-generation owner has inherited the traditional taste created by his father.
The broth has a rich pork flavor—super intense but not overwhelming. The noodles are on the firmer side, just right with a nice chew. And the chashu? Perfect balance of fat and lean, melts in your mouth. Such a satisfying bowl! This is a classic local ramen spot with tons of character. If you love strong tonkotsu flavors, you have to check this place out!

Ryujin Suspension Bridge
The Ryujinkyo Gorge is located in Okukuji Prefectural Nature Park, in Ibaraki prefecture. The “Ryujin Suspension Bridge” is laid atop the Ryujin dam that flows through the Ryujin River within the gorge. This bridge is 375m long, and is one of Japan’s longest pedestrian only suspension bridges.
Even if you're afraid of heights, the views here make it totally worth the walk!
