The whole place has a really nice, upscale atmosphere.

Sounkyo Onsen
Located within Daisetsuzan National Park, this is one of Hokkaido’s premier hot spring destinations, blessed with dramatic gorge scenery and an abundant supply of hot spring water. Sitting at an elevation of about 670 meters, the area captivates visitors with natural beauty that changes with the seasons. In autumn, the mountains are painted in vivid reds and yellows, while winter transforms the landscape into a vast, shimmering world of snow-each season offering a completely different experience.
The hot springs themselves feel really comfortable.
Soaking in the outdoor bath while looking at the mountain views, you kind of end up spacing out for a long time without realizing it 😌
At night the streets are pretty quiet, but that actually gives it a nice "away from the city" feeling.
Perfect for people who just want to zone out and not be disturbed. -
Samuhara Shrine
A quietly standing shrine in Osaka City's business district. Said to have its roots in Samuhara-sha Okunomiya, located deep in the mountains of Kamo, Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture, it enshrines the three creator deities known as Zoka Sanshin: Amenominakanushi-no-Okami, Takamimusubi-no-Okami, and Kamimusubi-no-Okami, who are said to have created all things.
Even though it’s a small place, the atmosphere is incredibly quiet and has this mysterious but very clean feeling.
Most people come here for the super popular omamori, which are said to protect your life and ward off bad luck. I’ve also heard they sell out often, so getting one can depend on your luck. -
Roadside Station Ogawarako Koyukan
Located on the shores of Lake Ogawara, the largest lake in Aomori Prefecture, this roadside station has been a hub for lakeside tourism and local specialties since its opening in 2004. At the farmers’ market, you’ll find fresh vegetables from Tōhoku Town such as yam, garlic, carrots, and tomatoes. The seafood and processed goods corner offers delicacies made with clams from Lake Ogawara, including simmered shijimi clams and canned clam-and-seafood stew.
The scenery here is super relaxing. You can enjoy dishes made with local ingredients while looking out over the lake, and there are also local specialties for sale. The whole place has a laid-back vibe—it's a great spot to take a break or pick up some souvenirs.
