Gojo River Cherry Blossom Promenade

The Gojo River rises in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture, and flows through towns and cities in Aichi Prefecture such as Oguchi Town, Konan City, and Iwakura City. Around Iwakura City, it runs through the urban area, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of Approx. 1,300 cherry trees in full bloom lining both riverbanks for Approx. 7.6 km. In Iwakura City, the “Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival” is held every year from late March to early April to coincide with cherry blossom season. At night, the trees are illuminated, and the fully blooming cherry blossoms glowing in the dark are breathtaking.

So romantic! Cherry trees line both sides of the river, creating a long pink-and-white sakura tunnel. Walking through it feels totally dreamy.

When the flowers are in full bloom in spring, the petals drift onto the water and the whole scene is insanely beautiful. It’s also perfect for photos.

It does get crowded, but the vibe is lively. Definitely worth making a special trip for.

This place is seriously so much fun! There are entire walls packed with capsule toy machines, and the variety is just wild—anime characters, figures, and even some super quirky stuff. Once you walk in, you can't help but want to try a few. The space isn't huge, but the vibe is lively and it's great for photos too. If you're into capsule toys, you have to add this to your Ikebukuro plans—it's super relaxing!

This is a bookstore that really shares Taiwanese culture. The interior layout is just like Eslite in Taiwan. It's even a hot topic among Japanese people. I hope they keep up the good work!

I saw this at a specialty store before and grabbed a few packs to take home. I've tried it a few times, but I'm not sure if it actually works.

There are shops selling buns and shumai everywhere. When I got thirsty, I bought a bubble tea to try, but the pearls were too hard. The texture is really different from what you get in Taiwan.
