This place really has a local vibe. It doesn't feel as commercialized as the big cities.

TENGA LAND
You can find TENGA LAND in Harajuku, a neighborhood known as the source of new trends and fashion. The shop had its grand opening in April 2024, on the 2nd floor of Harajuku’s Tokyu Plaza “Harakado”, noted as the first ever experience-based shop in Japan for self-pleasure items.
So classy... The Japanese really know what they're doing 🤣
But honestly, it's just so good, I have to give it a thumbs up!!!
Best Japanese souvenir, hands down. -

Takahata Fudoson
Takahata Fudoson is a special head temple of the Chisan School of Shingon Buddhism and is regarded as one of the Kanto region’s three major Fudo temples, alongside Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and others. About 300,000 people visit for the first temple visit of the New Year, and the temple also attracts many worshippers for its monthly festival on the 28th.
This is the temple where Hijikata Toshizo from the Shinsengumi is buried, and you can see hydrangeas here in early summer.
There aren't many tourists, so it's nice and quiet for a stroll inside the temple.
It seems like this shrine is known for traffic safety blessings.
Also, you have to try the dango from the shops along the approach! 🍡 -

Michi-no-Eki Doshi
Located in the center of Doshi Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, Michi-no-Eki Doshi serves as a hub for information on local sightseeing, events, and specialty products. It has free parking for more than 100 vehicles and restrooms open to everyone, making it a popular stop during a drive.
Doshi is a great summer getaway spot in Yamanashi. You can even go fishing, so it's perfect for families.
This time, I happened to catch the fireworks festival—super impressive! -
