The kokanee sashimi and other local dishes here are really delicious. Everything is super fresh, and you get to taste local ingredients. Highly recommended!

Nezu Museum
Located in a prime location in Aoyama, a sophisticated area of Tokyo, it is one of the few private museums in Japan with a history dating back to before World War II. The museum has a collection of approximately 7,600 Japanese and Oriental antiquities (as of the end of December 2021), including 7 National Treasures, 88 Important Cultural Properties, and 94 Important Art Objects.
I highly recommend relaxing at the café in the Japanese garden after your visit. It's a great spot to soak in the artistic atmosphere.

Watari Museum of Contemporary Art
Opened in September 1990, this private museum was designed by the renowned Swiss architect Mario Botta-his only architectural project in Japan. The striking exterior, characterized by wide, wing-like forms and distinctively striped walls of granite and concrete, has become an iconic local landmark.
Besides its regular temporary exhibitions, the Watari-um Museum of Contemporary Art also has a permanent collection featuring works by both Japanese and international artists. The variety of art on display is fantastic—definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves the art world.

Lake Okotanpe
Lake Okotanpe, nestled in the Shikotsu-Toya National Park in Hokkaido, lies about 7 kilometers northwest of Lake Shikotsu and at an elevation 300 meters higher, at 600 meters above sea level. This secluded mountain lake is cradled between Mount Eniwa (1,320 meters) and Mount Izari (1,318 meters), far removed from populated areas.
Lake Okotanpe is a charming natural spot in eastern Hokkaido, famous for its stunning lake views and rich wildlife. In the summer, it's the perfect place for water activities like boating, kayaking, and fishing. People love playing on the lake and enjoying the cool summer breeze.
