After eating in Dotonbori, it's fun to come here and walk around. There are so many unique things to check out.

Sendai Aoba Festival
On the 350th anniversary of Date Masamune’s death, in 1985 the Sendai Aoba Festival began to revitalize the boisterous and proud festival culture of Sendai. It is now considered the three festivals of Sendai, attracting visitors worldwide as a summer favorite.
The sparrow dance is super cute! Everyone dancing together feels so united!

Komezuka
Komezuka, a cone-shaped volcano, is located at the base of Kishimadake, one of the central peaks of Mount Aso's five peaks. This small mountain stands about 80 meters high and is believed to have been formed by an eruption around 3,300 years ago. The slopes are covered with grasslands, turning a vibrant green from spring to summer. In autumn, the slopes glow golden with susuki (Japanese pampas grass), and in winter, they are beautifully blanketed in snow.
Komezuka has such a unique shape—it really looks like a perfect little volcano! The whole thing is covered in green grass, which makes for a view you just don't see anywhere else.

Tokachigawa Onsen
Tokachigawa Onsen is located in the Tokachi Plain in the center of Hokkaido. The "Moor hot springs" are rare in Japan, and rich in organic plant matter. As a result, the hot water has a high temperature of 55-60 degrees Celsius and gushes out from a location 500-700 meters underground.
Stayed at Tokachigawa Onsen in winter. At night, we took the hotel shuttle to the Sairinka event. The lights and music really made the snowy landscape come alive.
