Some parts of Kumamoto Castle are still under construction, so you can see the damage from the big earthquake. But seeing the main keep fully restored really shows the spirit and perseverance of the Japanese people. There's still a long way to go for full restoration, but this historic castle is so symbolic—I truly believe they'll make it happen!

Palace Hotel Tokyo
This upmarket stay boasts one of Tokyo’s most memorable addresses: "1-1-1 Marunouchi”. With direct underground access from Otemachi Station and within easy walking distance from Tokyo Station, rooms here promise the utmost in ease and access whether staying for business or for play. Its prime setting overlooks the lush greenery of the Imperial Palace gardens and scenic moat waters.
Super close to Tokyo Station, so the location is really convenient, but it's not noisy at all. All the restaurants are top-notch, so you can have a great meal even if you don't feel like going out. 😌

Hotel Mahoroba
Set in the coveted Noboribetsu Onsen, one of Japan’s most renowned hot spring resorts formed by volcanic activity around 10,000 years ago, Hotel Mahoroba offers a luxurious retreat surrounded by lush mountain scenery.
The indoor and outdoor baths have such a great vibe! The open-air bath at night is especially relaxing. There are over 30 types of hot springs—you can soak until you feel like you're about to float away! 🤣

Lunch House Mitoya
Our diner has been around for a long time and is popular amongst students and businessmen. The stir-fried vegetable and meat in brown sauce meal set is the most popular item on the menu. For people who have a large appetite, we recommend the chicken cutlet meal set.
I had a meal here and thought the taste was okay, but nothing really stood out or wowed me.
