This is Ago Bay in Mie prefecture and from Yokoyama Observatory, you get one of the most stunning panoramic views in the area. This region is famous for the beautiful Ria coastline where the sea winds through layers of forested hills and tiny islands. It is really peaceful and honestly feels like such a hidden gem compared to the more crowded viewpoints in Japan. Would you wanna come here?#agobay #mieprefecture #japantravel #hiddengemjapan #visitjapan

Seeing them up close at Toba Aquarium in Mie is honestly such a heart-melting experience. 🥹 They are so playful and really manage to steal everyone’s attention within seconds. I could not stop smiling watching them swim, tumble around, and hold food with those tiny paws!Even though the line can get pretty long, it is well structured so you get a decent amount of time to observe them. Sometimes the best travel moments aren’t the big landmarks, they are just meeting the cutest residents along the way. Would you stop to see these otters?#tobaaquarium #mieprefecture #japantravel #japantravelguide #visitjapan
If you are anything like us, you are probably planning on hitting as many sakura festivals as you can this spring 🤭 But if you are short on time and need to know which one actually fits your style, here is a quick guide:🌸 Ueno Sakura Festival: For those who want an all-out party with picnic mats, beer, and loud (often drunk) groups surrounded by more than 1,000 sakura trees. 🌸 Nakameguro Cherry Blossom Festival: For those who want a romantic night walk with pink sparkling wine and lanterns reflecting over the canal. 🌸 Koganei Sakura Matsuri: For those who need actual space to breathe (or have kids who love running around) and want a massive park where you can sit down without getting into other people's space. 🌸 Chiyoda City Sakura Festival: For those who want to paddle through the petals on a rowboat along the Imperial Palace moat and see the trees lit up at night. 🌸 Bokutei Sakura Festival: For those who want the iconic shot of the Tokyo Skytree framed by cherry blossoms along the Sumida River.We reviewed and compared 10 major Tokyo Sakura Festivals on the blog.#tokyosakura #japansakura #japantravel #tokyospring #sakurafestival
