The whole shrine is covered in azaleas, creating a breathtaking sea of flowers. These colorful blooms look especially brilliant in the sunlight, making it easy to get lost in the feeling of spring.

Yamanaka Suwa Shrine
This old shrine was established in 966 and enshrines Toyotama-hime (goodness in Japanese mythology). The main hall was built in 1552 when Shingen Takeda prayed for protection and victory of the battle against the Hojo clan, and is located on the westside of Lake Yamanaka.
The air felt so fresh when I walked in, and the sounds of birds and rustling leaves were really soothing.

Toyama Station
Toyama Station is a key transport hub linking travel across Toyama Prefecture and beyond, served by the Hokuriku Shinkansen, JR conventional lines, and Ainokaze Toyama Railway. It also features a rare design in Japan, with a streetcar running north-south through the station for easy travel around the city.
Toyama’s black ramen is super famous—you’ve gotta try it!

Tokyo Midtown Yaesu
Directly connected to JR Tokyo Station, Tokyo Midtown Yaesu is a mega retailer built around the concept of “Japan Presentation Field - A City Where Japan’s Dreams Gather and the World’s Dreams Grow.”
The whole building is beautifully designed. There’s a department store, hotel, offices, and a food court inside. It’s really comfortable to walk around here.
