The whole shop is filled with adorable Kirby stuff. The desserts are beautifully made and super photogenic, and the designs are so cute you almost don’t want to eat them. It’s really easy to end up buying a bunch of merch when you walk by.

GariGarikun Soda
Japan’s classic ice treat, GariGarikun Soda, is a simple yet exceptionally well-crafted frozen treat made with soda-flavored ice on the outside and crunchy shaved ice on the inside. Its defining feature is this two-layer structure, with outer ice and inner shaved ice, allowing you to enjoy two different textures in one bar. Along with its refreshing soda flavor, it is also a long-selling product that has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for many years.
I love that crunchy, shaved-ice texture. It’s pretty different from a regular popsicle, and it feels especially refreshing on a hot summer day.

The Aizu Bukeyashiki - Samurai Residence
Located near Higashiyama Onsen, this large-scale historical museum park features the restored residence of Saigo Tanomo, who was a Karo officer in the Aizu domain, surrounded by relocated and restored traditional buildings and a museum.
It’s absolutely worth coming during cherry blossom season. The classic samurai residence buildings with the cherry trees in full bloom feel so quintessentially Japanese, and every photo turns out great.
The lunch set meal was just the right portion, and I got to try local Aizu cuisine. -

Gono no yakata - Northern Culture Museum
This museum preserves and exhibits the former residence and garden of the Ito family, which prospered as the largest landowner in Echigo during the Meiji period.
It was absolutely gorgeous when the Somei Yoshino and weeping cherry blossoms were blooming at the same time. I originally came just to see the cherry blossoms, but the architecture and garden were amazing too.
