It is a popular area for tourists and among the more well-known parts of Tokyo. Each spring a grand festival is held in and around Sensō-ji.

Shibuya is a commercial and entertainment district near JR Shibuya station, standing alongside Shinjuku and Ikebukuro as one of Tokyo's three major sub-centers and one of the city's bustling neighborhoods. Every time the traffic light turns green, the massive crosswalk in front of JR Shibuya station is engulfed by waves of pedestrians, while giant billboards and digital screens around reflect the energy of this busy metropolis. Shibuya is the birthplace of youth culture. In this 24-hour sleepless district, various trendy fashion shops, restaurants, bars, and entertainment centers gather, and street band performances can often be seen. Major department stores are also vibrant with the presence of young people. In Shibuya, even the outfits of passersby are stylish enough, with many fashion magazines like "ViVi" and "Mina" sourcing their street snaps from here. Thanks to the prevalence of trend culture, the area is filled with fashionable men and women, and avant-garde or even eccentric outfits are not uncommon. Shopping route recommendations When shopping in Shibuya, it's recommended to start from the bustling Shibuya crossing, pass through the busy pedestrian zone Center Street and Spain Slope, and take a break at the spacious Yoyogi Park when tired. This route allows you to experience Shibuya's typical youthful atmosphere. Statue of Hachiko When you exit from the Hachiko exit of Shibuya station, you will see the statue of Hachiko. The story of Hachiko, who kept waiting for his deceased owner in front of JR Shibuya station, is well-known throughout Japan.

Asakusa is a traditional district in Tokyo that developed around Senso-ji Temple, offering a distinct atmosphere from modern commercial areas like Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. It retains the charm of Edo's old downtown and is regarded as a microcosm of ancient Edo culture. Historically, Asakusa suffered severe damage twice—from fires after the Great Kanto Earthquake and WWII air raids—but gradually regained popularity during postwar reconstruction. Today, it epitomizes old Tokyo. The heart of the district is Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in the 7th century. Its entrance, Kaminarimon ("Thunder Gate"), features a massive red lantern inscribed with the gate's name and is flanked by statues of the wind and thunder gods, where people once prayed for good harvests and weather. The bustling Nakamise shopping street, lined with red storefronts, connects Kaminarimon to Hozomon Gate and the main hall, selling traditional snacks like ningyo-yaki, Edo-era toys, and crafts, with some shops over a century old. Kimono rentals are also available here. Nearby, Asakusa Shrine, built in the Edo period, is worth a visit, while Denbo-in Temple's garden can only be admired from outside. Asakusa also hosts traditional festivals: the Sanja Matsur in May at Asakusa Shrine embodies Edo's vibrant spirit, alongside summer's "Hozuki Market" at Senso-ji, the "Tori-no-Ichi" fair at Otori Shrine in early winter, and year-end "Hagoita Market." Sumida Park along the Sumida River is a famed cherry blossom spot, with boat rides offering waterfront views in spring. The summer fireworks festival on the river is a major annual event. For Edo-style cuisine, classics like tempura, soba, and eel are easy to find. With extra time, explore Kappabashi Street, known for kitchenware and food replicas. The area is easily explored on foot or by rickshaw.Japan · Tokyo

If you come to Akiu Onsen, this is a place you should definitely stop by. It's rich in nature and you can feel the negative ions. We walked quite a bit, but there wasn't much to see, so maybe it wasn't necessary to go to the edge.

Along with the smell of hot spring sulfur, all along the small road in the hot spring town, there are beautiful scenery everywhere! You only need to walk a long distance to see the beautiful scenery, on the mountain, in the river, it is very quiet!

Yes, it gets extremely crowded (especially weekends, holidays, and peak midday hours), but that energy is part of its charm for many. Go early or late and the experience becomes almost serene.

worth. Although every city has its own history, when I approached it, I didn’t expect that the first thing I saw was the sculpture of Lu Xun! Ha ha! If I remember correctly, the words next to the sculpture were written by Guo Moruo himself. Looking out from the museum, the light and shadows are beautiful. The castle ruins are located on a high point, overlooking the entire Sendai.

I visited the Nikka Miyagikyo Distillery at noon today. It was a great experience! The distillery is hidden in the forest valley outside Sendai. The red brick buildings are matched with swans on the small lake, and the environment is as beautiful as a painting. The free guided tour takes one hour. From malt drying to distillation workshop, the strong caramel aroma and oak barrel aroma are overwhelming. In the warehouse, you can also compare the smell of original wines of different years - five years of fresh fruity aroma, twelve years of mellow to the top. The best part is the tasting session! Three cups of sincerity: the sweet and sour apple cider is as smooth as juice, and it is more refreshing with soda water; Super Nikka blended whiskey has a bit of smokiness, suitable for ice; the finale of Miyagikyo single malt is full of fruity aroma, warm and not spicy, and I instantly understand why it can become a signature. The tour guide also kindly gave a note of drinking tips, full marks for details! Before leaving, I found that the price of the limited edition was only 1/3 of the market price, so I stocked up two bottles decisively. The only regret is that the transportation is a bit troublesome. You have to wait for the shuttle bus (only available on weekends) after taking the JR from Sendai to Sakunami Station. It is recommended to drive or carpool. Overall, even if you are not a drunkard, you will be impressed by the historical sense and natural atmosphere here. Mr. Taketsuru has a sharp eye for site selection!

Xifang Temple is also a Chinese-style temple. The internal and external structures of this temple are also quite good. The entire structure of Xifang Temple is very compact and contains the corresponding structural patterns of all temples. The entire Xifang Temple is also a very important place for Buddhist practice.

Went there to see the night view and The Apothecary Diaries exhibition. The overall experience was great, I list how the dancing scene with stars in the sky blends in with the local city view seamlessly. Only thing is the area is pretty complex in terms of finding the right place to go, but for locals it should be a big deal. The overall price is pretty high, but I enjoy the view and exhibition.
