The short cherry blossom path, just a few hundred meters long, has over a hundred varieties of cherry trees. It attracts a lot of people, and the nearby food stalls are also really appealing.

Harunasan Ropeway
The Harunasan Ropeway connects the shores of Lake Haruna to the summit of Mount Haruna in approximately three minutes. Operating since 1958, it introduced Japan's first 15-passenger twin gondola system in 1996. As the ropeway ascends through the lush natural surroundings of Mount Haruna, passengers can enjoy a stunning aerial journey with breathtaking panoramic views.
Once the ropeway reaches the top, you get a panoramic view of Lake Haruna. The water is crystal clear and the lake is surrounded by mountains.

National Grand Shrine Suitengu
Located near the Chikugo River in Fukuoka Prefecture, this is the main shrine of Suitengu, with branches across Japan and even in Hawaii. Established in 1190 to honor the souls of the Taira clan who perished in the Battle of Dan-no-ura, the shrine was relocated to its current site in 1650. Suitengu is revered as a deity of water, offering blessings for safe childbirth, fertility, and protection from misfortune.
The history here dates back to the Edo period, and the whole place is filled with a strong sense of tradition. The shrine's design is simple yet elegant, giving you a sacred feeling of being connected to both nature and the divine.

Sensoji Temple
This iconic destination in Asakusa sees as many as 30 million visitors each year. It stands as a well-loved mainstay in Tokyo, all while hosting a number of annual traditions like the first temple visit at New Years, Setsubun and more across the year.
As soon as you enter Kaminarimon, the giant red lantern immediately catches your eye. It's a super popular spot for photos! The gate symbolizes welcome and blessings, and the whole atmosphere feels lively and joyful.
