Japan, being a popular tourist destination, has a well-developed cable car system. Many famous attractions have cable cars, such as the Mount Maya Cable Car, the Arima Onsen Cable Car, and the Mount Hakodate Cable Car. The Mount Hakodate Cable Car is quite large and stable, while the Arima Onsen Cable Car, although large, can be a bit intimidating. The Gozaisho Cable Car, on the other hand, is known for its long distance and boasts the tallest tower in Japan.

Nagashima Onsen not only offers the Nagashima Resort and the JAZZ Dream Outlet, but also the Nagashima Spa Land, which caters to the needs of people of all ages. Whether you’re looking for fun and excitement, shopping, or simply enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot springs, this place has it all.

Central Hotel Takeo Onsen is located right next to JR Takeo Onsen Station, just a 2-minute walk away.
So, in terms of transportation, it’s quite convenient~
Now with the opening of the West Kyushu Shinkansen, it’s even more accessible~

Nemu Resort is a famous resort hotel in the Ise-Shima area of Mie Prefecture. The hotel is located within the Ise-Shima National Park, facing Ago Bay. Of course, it also has various facilities, such as hot springs and a golf course. During my visit, I even encountered a golf group from Taiwan… How lucky the wealthy are!

Suzuka Circuit is the venue for the Japanese F1 Grand Prix in Japan. The race takes place every year in October, making this place bustling during the event…

In Japan, there is a famous pearl cultivation farm called Mikimoto Pearl Island. Here, you can witness Ama divers performing and also purchase pearls. For those who enjoy shopping in Japan, this attraction comes highly recommended, especially because the products sold here are much cheaper than those in Taiwan.

Since it was already evening when I checked into the Long Island Hot Springs Resort, I didn’t have a chance to take any photos. Of course, I also didn’t have the opportunity to capture the exterior of the hotel. So, I could only take a look inside.

Why do you have to visit Okaga Yokocho before going to Ise Grand Shrine? That’s because you’ll pass by Okaga Yokocho on your way to Naiku of Ise Grand Shrine. And, it just feels like something is missing if you don’t explore this street!

The Toba Aquarium is located next to the Mikimoto Pearl Island, so these two attractions can be visited together. The signature animals of the aquarium are the mermaid (dugong) and walrus performances. There are not many aquariums with mermaids (dugongs), and Toba Aquarium is one of the few.

Nabari is the birthplace of the famous Iga Ninja, Momochi Sandayu (Momochi Tanba), during the Sengoku period in Japan. Due to leading the Iga Ninja to their heyday, their power threatened Oda Nobunaga, and they were ultimately destroyed when Oda Nobunaga led a 50,000-strong army to attack Iga. The hotel I am staying at tonight, Taisenkaku Hotel, is filled with a strong ninja atmosphere. Not only does the hotel display armor from the Sengoku period, but it also showcases the ninja weapons used by Momochi Sandayu back in the day. So, staying here, you must not miss these exhibits!
