There were so many people, it was just a sea of crowds. It was hard to really enjoy or appreciate the place.

Yubara Onsen
Along the river, rows of ryokan line the banks, and steam rises in the stillness of the surrounding mountains. Yubara Onsen is a hot spring town that spreads along the clear Asahi River, where you can enjoy smooth, alkaline hot spring waters.
This place is all about peace and relaxation.
It's not a busy, touristy hot spring street.
The most famous part is the open‑air mixed bath where you soak right by the river.
Coming in winter feels especially nice. The water is very hot but not harsh.
The surroundings feel very natural, and at night it's almost completely quiet.
Perfect if you want to clear your mind and take your time soaking. -
Tokyo Toy Museum
This museum, with its theme of “Play, Create, and Meet”, is a great place for kids of all ages to play with toys. The former Yotsuya Fourth Elementary School was built before WWII and renovated with a lot of domestic wood to create a warm and welcoming space.
If you're looking for an educational spot, the Tokyo Toy Museum is a good choice. It showcases all kinds of toy art, which can inspire an interest in and understanding of art, while also promoting the exchange and development of toy culture. There are interactive experiences here too, and since it's easy to get to, you can easily spend half a day or even a whole day.
