The elegant arch design of the bridge gives it a retro vibe, and it's even more romantic when it's lit up at night. Walking on the bridge, you can enjoy views of both sides of the Shinano River. Whether you're taking a stroll during the day or unwinding at night, it's a great spot to stop, enjoy the scenery, and snap some photos.

Lake Shikaribetsu
Lake Shikaribetsu, located at an elevation of approximately 810 meters, is Hokkaido’s highest-altitude lake and the only natural lake within Daisetsuzan National Park. Formed around 30,000 years ago by a volcanic eruption that dammed a river, it is known as the “Celestial Lake” and is surrounded by small volcanic peaks like Mount Tenbo and Mount Hakuun. The pristine landscape, featuring untouched forests of Sakhalin fir, Yezo spruce, and birch trees, is a stunning highlight.
Not many people, which is a huge plus.
Zero pressure of being surrounded by tourists. -

Shukunegi
Shukunegi, located in an inlet of Ogi Bay at the southern tip of Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture, is a port town that prospered during the Edo period through the shipping trade and shipbuilding. More than 100 buildings stand closely together on approximately 1 hectare of land, and the area is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government. The buildings lining the narrow alleys are known for their distinctive architectural style, which incorporates the skills of ship carpenters, such as the use of ship planks and ship nails on the exterior walls.
The whole village still preserves its Edo-period streets and old wooden houses, so walking through it feels like traveling back in time. It’s peaceful and full of nostalgic charm.
The narrow little lanes are perfect for a slow stroll, and you can also see the unique architecture built by ship carpenters. It looks amazing in photos and has such a great atmosphere. If you like historic streets and places with a sense of history, this spot is definitely worth visiting. -
