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 the hot springs found throughout Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. With 2,847 hot spring sources producing approximately 130,000 kiloliters of water per day, it is the largest hot spring resort in Japan. Beppu Onsen consists of eight areas and is also known as the Beppu Hatto or Beppu Onsen-kyo. Each area has different water qualities and colors, making a tour of the hot springs a great way to experience them.
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.
