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 Kongoji Temple
Along with Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, Takahata Fudoson is one of the three largest temples housing an immovable statue of the Wisdom King in the Kanto region. It is the special head temple of the Shingonshu sect, Chizan school of Buddhism.
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 City in Yamanashi Prefecture, Michi-no-Eki (roadside rest area) Doshi hosts information about sightseeing spots, events, and local goods for Doshi City. It also has over 100 free parking spots and restrooms available for use, so many people stop by during their drives.
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! -
