The snowy scenery here is even more magical—it's just like a romantic scene straight out of a Japanese drama.

Kanda Myojin
Kanda Myojin is a historical shrine famous for bestowing its blessings in marriage and business prosperity, enhancing luck in battle while warding off danger and disaster. Located in Tokyo's central business district, many firms come to worship at the beginning of the year, as this shrine cannot be ignored if seeking fortune in business.
The Kanda Festival, Tokyo's biggest festival, only happens every two years. People pray for good fortune, health, and luck. As a Tokyoite, being a child of Edo, the Kanda Festival in May is definitely something to look forward to.

Beppu Onsen
Beppu onsen is the collective name for all of the hot springs across Beppu City in Oita Prefecture. With 2,847 different springs that produce about 130,000 kiloliters of spring water every day, its ranked among the highest of hot springs in Japan. Beppu Onsen is divided into 8 areas and is also called Beppu Hatto or Bappu Onsenkyo. The many different springs offer different water properties and colors, so you won’t want to miss the chance to visit as many different hot springs as possible.
I visited Beppu Onsen for a vacation many years ago and stayed at Suginoi Hotel. The open-air bath on the rooftop had an amazing atmosphere, plus you could see Beppu Bay. It was an unforgettable trip for me. I hope I can visit again once the pandemic is over.

Shimanto River
Shimanto River is the longest river in the Shikoku region, flowing through the western part of Kochi Prefecture and boasting a total length of 196km. The river begins at Mt. Irazu in the town of Tsuno.
Since it's a pretty rural area, there hasn't been any major development or industrial pollution. The scenery remains pristine and simple. It's an incredibly clean and beautiful river.
