The crispy shell made from glutinous rice is filled with a sweet filling. Its shape, modeled after the giant red lantern at Kaminarimon Gate, is really unique and eye-catching.

Kikuchi Gorge
Spreading across the northwestern side of the Aso Outer Rim, this expansive forest area covers roughly 1,193 hectares. Sitting at an elevation of 500-800 meters, it preserves the untouched beauty of the crystal-clear spring water flowing from the outer rim of Aso and the abundant surrounding nature.
There are lots of waterfalls, rapids, and deep pools inside. The scenery is really diverse—it's not just a simple walk along a stream and that's it.

Asakusa Chochin Monaka
This Monaka specialty shop is located on Nakamise Street, bustling with people as the main approach to Senso-ji Temple. The shop's look, which mirrors the lantern (Chochin) of Kaminarimon Gate, known as a symbol of Asakusa, has a nostalgic atmosphere that evokes a sense of downtown charm.

Sensoji Temple
This iconic destination in Asakusa sees as many as 30 million visitors each year. It stands as a well-loved mainstay in Tokyo, all while hosting a number of annual traditions like the first temple visit at New Years, Setsubun and more across the year.
The iconic main gate of Sensoji Temple has a huge red lantern hanging at the entrance. It's a must-see spot when visiting and a perfect place for photos.
