The scenery here is absolutely stunning. The white lighthouse against the blue sky and ocean makes for some really artistic photos, and it's even more romantic at sunset.
It's not a huge spot, but it's super peaceful—perfect for a stroll, gazing at the sea, and just relaxing. Really soothing vibes!

Yakiago Shio Ramen Takahashi, Shinjuku Main Store
An elegant Japanese-style ramen restaurant. The soup combines a broth made from domestic pork bones and chicken carcass, with the main ingredient being "Yakiago" - flying fish dried and grilled. Multiple types of seafood broth are layered in the mix. For the salt seasoning, "Yakiago" prepared using Takahashi's unique method is used, combining broth extracted at two different temperatures with salt from Okinawa. The refined and delicious flavor of the premium ingredient "Yakiago" is a highlight.
Every time I'm in Shinjuku, I have to eat here. The taste is unforgettable!
Kegon Falls
Nikko is home to many waterfalls, but its most famous waterfall is Kegon Falls. Here the water from Lake Chuzenji spills down a 97-meter-tall cliff, showcasing a beautiful and powerful force of nature. From the observation platform, which you can reach down at the waterfall basin by elevator, you can experience the roar of the falls and the splashing water from up close.
Taking the elevator down to see the waterfall really lets you feel the full power of the falls up close.
