Such a relaxing nature spot. The air is fresh, the forest is lush, and walking along the trail is really soothing—plus the sound of the stream in the background is super healing.
It’s perfect for escaping the heat in summer, and it’s also great in fall for the foliage. The whole forest vibe just makes you feel calm.
Highly recommended if you love being outdoors.

Hoheikyo Dam
Hoheikyo Dam is built upstream of Toyohira River in the Minami District of Sapporo City. It controls the flow of the Toyohira River, of course, supplies water to the Sapporo City, and the surrounding area is renowned as a tourist spot for the fall foliage.
Came in the fall for the foliage and the dam. The rainbow-like scenery was a huge plus.
You don’t have to walk very far to get great views, so it’s an easy, relaxed visit. -

Fukiware no Taki Falls
Usually, when you look at waterfalls in well-known tourist spots, you have to look up to feel their dynamism. However, Fukiware no Taki is different. As a place where you can feel the splendor of nature by looking down a waterfall, it is extremely rare. Also nicknamed the “Niagara Falls of the East”, this waterfall boasts a 7-meter drop and a width of 30 meters.
You can get really close to the waterfall, which makes it super immersive. When the water flow is strong, it's honestly pretty breathtaking.

Café & Bar Tower View Terrace
Located on the 3rd floor of Tokyo Prince Hotel in Minato’s Shiba Park area, Café & Bar Tower View Terrace is a stylish café and bar renowned for its stunning terrace overlooking Tokyo Tower. Surrounded by the beauty of the seasons-cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage-it offers a relaxing, open-air setting for dining in any season.
Sipping drinks on the terrace with that amazing night view is just so romantic! During the day, you can chill with a coffee and totally relax, but at night it turns into the perfect date spot with cocktails. The scenery is fantastic and the vibe is on point—such a great place for photos and social media!
