The cookies are nice and crisp, filled with rich cream and sweet raisins. They’re not too sweet and really addictive—perfect for enjoying with tea.

Mt. Futagami Manyo Line
Mt. Futagami rises approximately 274 meters near the border between Takaoka and Himi in Toyama Prefecture. The Mt. Futagami Manyo Line is an approximately 8-kilometer scenic driving route through the mountain range. On clear days, it offers sweeping views of Toyama Bay and the Noto Peninsula on the sea side and the Tateyama Mountain Range on the mountain side. An observation deck near the summit overlooks the city of Takaoka.
The train cars are small, and the ride feels really relaxed. The scenery along the way is simple and understated, not the kind of touristy view that makes you go wow at first glance.
Outside the window you’ll see houses, fields, and sometimes Mt. Futagami in the distance. The whole atmosphere feels very everyday and slow-paced. It’s a good choice if you’re not in a hurry and just want to unwind and enjoy the views. It has the feel of a local commuter line, but it’s still pretty soothing for visitors too. -
Hateruma Island
A inhabited island in Okinawa’s Yaeyama Islands and the southernmost inhabited island in Japan. Close enough for a day trip from Ishigaki Island, it can be reached by high-speed boat or ferry, and air service resumed in 2024. Scenic spots showcasing its natural beauty are scattered across the island, including Takanazaki, where the Monument Marking Japan’s Southernmost Point and the Southernmost Peace Monument stand on a dramatic cliffside cape, and Nishi Beach, a popular spot for swimming and sunset views.
Hateruma Island is seriously gorgeous! The water is so blue and the sand is so white—it’s the kind of view that makes you say wow 🌊✨
The whole island is really peaceful, so it’s perfect for just relaxing or slowly biking around. I especially recommend visiting the Monument Marking Japan’s Southernmost Point and Star Sand Beach. Both are super unique.
At night, you can see a sky full of stars, which feels so romantic 💫 It’s absolutely worth visiting at least once! -
Hanayagura Observatory
Mt. Yoshino, known for its approximately 30,000 cherry trees in bloom, is a famous cherry blossom spot. A popular viewing location is the Hanayagura Observatory, reached by climbing the steep, curvy Shishiozaka slope. It is said that here, Sato Tadanobu, a retainer of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, once shot arrows at enemies pursuing them from the mountain's base to facilitate Yoshitsune's escape.
This place is gorgeous! It really feels like standing inside a painting, especially during cherry blossom season—it's absolutely dreamy.
