A mix of tradition and modern style, with plenty of dining options and convenient amenities. It's a great place to experience local culture and food.

Atera Valley
A valley formed along the Atera River, which rises from Mt. Sunagoya in southwestern Nagano Prefecture. The crystal-clear stream, stretching Approx. 15 km in total, is known for its outstanding transparency. Combined with the sunlight filtering through the surrounding trees, it creates the stunning emerald-green scenery known as “Atera Blue.” The water is so clear that even deep spots can look shallow, and many visitors come from outside the prefecture to see this remarkable view.
Atera Valley is seriously gorgeous! The stream is so clear it practically sparkles, and when the sunlight hits it, it turns this beautiful blue-green color. No wonder they call it “Atera Blue.”
Walking along the path by the water feels so refreshing, and it’s especially nice in summer. You can even soak your feet or play in the water. The drive feels a bit deep into the mountains, but once you arrive, it all feels totally worth it! -
Yagoto-san Kōshō-ji Temple
A Shingon Buddhist temple founded in 1688 by Priest Tenrui Enshō. Long revered as a place for learning and training. Since Tokugawa Mitsutomo (1625-1700), the second lord of the Owari Domain, became a devotee, Kōshō-ji received support from the Owari Tokugawa family, including the construction of temple halls and donations of many treasures. The grounds feature many Edo-period structures, such as the Nishiyama Main Hall and Nōman Hall.
A very historic-feeling temple—once you walk in, you can immediately feel how peaceful it is.
There’s a five-story pagoda, and with all the greenery around it, it looks really solemn. It’s also great for photos.
Cherry blossoms in spring, fall foliage in autumn—every season has its own beauty.
Overall it’s quiet and not too crowded, a lovely place for a walk and to clear your mind. -
Tokyo Disneyland
Known and loved as the “kingdom of dreams and magic”, this full-scale themepark is just a 15 min. train ride from Tokyo Station.
Tokyo Disneyland is absolutely magical 😭! The parades and attractions are fantastic. Both adults and kids have an amazing time—one day just isn't enough. It's like a real-life fairy tale world!
