The packaging of the treats is really beautiful, making them perfect as souvenirs.

Niseko Ostrich Farm (Daini Arishima Ostrich Farm)
At the foot of the graceful Mount Yotei, a vast ranch raises ostriches and cattle in open pastures. The surrounding area is designated as a scenic viewpoint in Niseko Town, known as "Furusato Viewpoint," offering spectacular views. Amidst the grand landscapes characteristic of Hokkaido, visitors can relax and enjoy the pastoral scenery of freely roaming ostriches and cattle. The spot is also popular for taking commemorative photos with ostriches against the backdrop of Mount Yotei.
There's a feeding activity where you can interact with the ostriches and learn about their habits. It really helped me understand ostriches better.

Tsutenkaku Tower
In 1912, a 75-meter steel tower modeled after the Eiffel Tower was built atop a building inspired by the Arc de Triomphe. It is said that Nangaku Fujisawa, a Confucian scholar from the early Meiji period, named it Tsutenkaku, meaning “a tall building reaching toward heaven.” The original tower was later dismantled following a fire, but strong public demand led to the construction of the current second-generation Tsutenkaku Tower in 1956. Standing 108 meters tall, it is 33 meters higher than the original.
Tsutenkaku Tower added a giant slide to attract tourists, and it just opened this May. I really want to try it out!

Meiji Jingu
Meiji Jingu was established in 1920 as a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. It consists of the serene and solemn Inner Garden, home to the Main Shrine and Imperial Garden; the Outer Garden, which features the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and numerous outstanding sports facilities; and Meiji Kinenkan, a full-service wedding venue.
After passing through the first big torii gate, you'll soon see the walls of sake barrels and wine barrels. These were offered by Japanese merchants to the Emperor, and since the Emperor liked Western wine, you can see both Japanese and Western styles displayed together.
