Library Above the Clouds (Yusuhara Town Library)
Yusuhara Town is located on the border between Kochi and Ehime prefectures. Opened in 2018 as part of the town’s commitment to coexist harmoniously with nature, the Library Above the Clouds was designed by renowned architect Kengo Kuma, known for his work on projects like the New National Stadium in Tokyo. Both the exterior and interior feature extensive use of wood sourced from Yusuhara and Kochi Prefecture.
The Library Above the Clouds is like a dream! The whole building looks like it's floating in the clouds. The wooden design feels so warm, and the environment is quiet and relaxing. It's the perfect spot to read or just zone out. Highly recommend!

Otaru Canal
Otaru Port, which developed as a gateway for Hokkaido's settlement, saw an increasing volume of cargo over the years. To streamline its transportation, the "Otaru Canal" was completed in 1923 (Taisho 12). The canal, created by reclaiming the offshore coast, is characterized by its gentle curves rather than a straight line.
The Otaru Canal is lined with stone warehouses and beautiful street lamps, giving it a nostalgic and romantic vibe. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy a coffee or some local food.

Nusamai Bridge
Nusamai Bridge is about 124.0 m long crossing the mouth of the Kushiro river at central Kushiro city. The bridge connects Kita Odori and Omachi in Kushiro city. The place is widely known as one of the world's three best sunsets and the scenery is spectacular when the whole sky is dyed in the sunset.
After watching the beautiful sunset, I went to try some delicious robatayaki. Highly recommend it!
