The view from Yumiharidake Observatory is so wide and open. You can overlook Sasebo Port and the beautiful Kujuku Islands. It's especially great to visit around sunset—the scenery is stunning 🤩. Perfect place to relax!

Sonmin-Shokudo (Karuizawa)
Karuizawa, often referred to as the “Beautiful Village” in the works of novelist Tatsuo Hori, is home to Sonmin-Shokudo, a restaurant produced by Hoshino Resorts. Its concept is “a casual dining spot that warmly welcomes visitors to this beautiful village of Karuizawa with delicious meals.”
Feels just like coming home to the countryside. The dishes are simple but full of flavor, with generous portions that really warm your heart. The rice is delicious, and the side dishes go perfectly with it. Super satisfying meal—perfect if you're craving homemade-style food!

Omotesando Hills
Featuring an impressive architectural design suited to Omotesando’s elegant and fashionable high street image, Omotesando Hills has been a landmark in the area since its opening in 2006.
Most of the shops here are high-end brands and designer boutiques. The atmosphere is elegant and it never feels too crowded, which makes shopping really pleasant. Besides shopping, I also recommend checking out the window displays or visiting the exhibitions they hold from time to time!

Benkei Fishing Club
A boating and fishing facility tucked away in a corner of the former outer moat of Edo Castle, east of the Akasaka Imperial Residence and surrounded by expressways and high-rise buildings. Despite its central Tokyo location near Akasaka-mitsuke and Nagatacho, it is popular as a waterside oasis rich in nature. The main attraction is boat fishing for largemouth bass with lures or flies, as well as carp, crucian carp, rainbow trout, and other fish using bait.
The facilities are well-equipped and the environment is beautiful. It's great for families and beginners who want to try fishing. There are lots of fish and it's pretty easy to get the hang of it. A perfect spot to relax in the city.
