Asahiyama Zoo, Asahikawa City
Asahiyama Zoo, the northernmost zoo in Japan, is a popular zoo known for its behavioral exhibits, in which comfortable spaces are created for the animals' ecology and their natural behavior is brought out to be seen.
The way it runs around looks kinda goofy, but honestly it’s insanely cool. The moment it jumped into the water, everyone was gasping.

Himeji Castle
This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.
The gardens around the castle are super clean and really pleasant. Even if you don't go inside, it's worth coming here just for a walk.

Genji (Yoshida Udon)
Located in the Fuji-Yoshida area of Yamanashi Prefecture, Genji is a well-known restaurant where you can savor Yoshida Udon, a local specialty famous for its exceptionally firm noodles-often said to be the hardest in Japan. The noodles are known for their chewy texture and rich flavor that deepens with every bite, enhanced by the umami of the broth.
Super authentic! The noodles are super chewy and have a great bite. The rich sauce is super flavorful and makes the whole dish really satisfying. Portions are pretty big, so it's a great value. The place has a simple, homey vibe and the staff are really friendly. If you love udon, you definitely have to try this spot!
