Tokyo always leaves you wantin

Tokyo always leaves you wanting more. Whether you've been once or countless times, every time you set foot in this city, or visit nearby attractions like the spectacular flower fields of Hitachi-naka, the cozy watch shops in Fujiyoshida's old town, or the babbling brooks of Oshino Village, you feel like you can never fully experience Japan. It's not just about skyscrapers and pedestrian crossings; every corner holds the warmth and detail of life, making you want to come back again and again—zero times or even an infinite number of times!

This route blends city and nature, modernity and tradition. You can experience the futuristic feel of Odaiba, Tokyo, the journey extends to the charming Hitachi seaside park, then leisurely stroll through the nostalgic shops of Fujiyoshida, all the way to Oshino Village to enjoy the clear springs of Hakkai. Whether sunny or cloudy, all of this becomes an irreplaceable memory.

Recommended Attractions:

1. AQUA CITY ODAIBA, Odaiba, Tokyo

📍Address: 1 Chome-7-1 Daiba, Minato City, Tokyo 135-8707
Odaiba always has a futuristic, fairytale-like charm, where trendy shopping malls and a relaxed seaside atmosphere coexist harmoniously. Besides enjoying delicious food, shopping, and night views, the most captivating feature is the frequent adorable animal-themed exhibits (such as otters and sea lions), which kids adore and couples can enjoy perfect photo opportunities! The rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Bay, which are especially romantic at night with their neon lights.

- Opening Hours: 11:00-23:00

2. Hitachi Seaside Park, Hitachi City, Japan

📍Address: 605-4 Onuma, Mawatari, Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan
The park is stunning in spring and summer. In April and May, the entire park is covered in blue nemophila flowers, like stepping into a Miyazaki animation world; every photo looks like a postcard. In late summer and early autumn, broom grass paints the hills red, and in winter, there are twinkling lights. The park has restaurants and rest areas, making it easy to while away half a day.

- Opening Hours: Varies annually, most commonly 09:30-17:00 (extended to 18:00 in some seasons), closed every Tuesday (please check the official website in advance).

3. Fujiyoshida City - Nikkawa Clock Shop

📍Address: Located in the main shopping street of Fujiyoshida City.

In this small town at the foot of Mount Fuji, this nostalgic clock shop has witnessed the town's history. The owner is always happy to chat with tourists; feel free to stop by and experience the local atmosphere while shopping.

4. Oshino Village - Oshino Hakkai

📍Address: Shibokusa, Oshino, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi 401-0511
Eight crystal-clear spring pools, filtered from Mount Fuji's snowmelt, reflect the mountains and village houses. Combined with Chinese-style architecture and paths adorned with lanterns, it feels like stepping back in time. Here, travelers always speak softly, naturally slowing your pace and allowing you to quietly appreciate the art of nature.
