Because it’s one of those you kind of want to keep to yourself!
Tucked away in the heart of Tokyo, it serves premium Kobe Wagyu, top-tier sushi, and even tempura - all in a 2.5-hour all-you-can-eat experience 😱
And what surprised me the most - sushi is on another level! honestly some of the best I’ve had in my 12 years in Japan.
📍Hassan Kioicho
⚠️A thing to remember: reservations are essential in Tokyo, so if you want the easiest way to book it in English, comment “place” and I’ll send you the link in DMs!
#japan #wagyubeef #traveljapan #japanesecuisine #explorejapan
A total must on your bucket list!
📍Takachiho Gorge is one of those spots you almost don’t believe exists.
Hidden in Miyazaki, this canyon was shaped by ancient volcanic activity - and now it looks like something straight out of a movie 😱
Think towering cliffs, a waterfall dropping into emerald water, and the chance to row a boat right through it!
It’s peaceful, surreal, and honestly… one of the most unforgettable places we’ve seen in Japan!
Comment “gorge” and I’ll send you the exact tips to visit the right way (timing, boats, and how to avoid the crowds).

We planned an entire day in Tokyo using just one pass - and it made everything so easy!
It’s called The Tokyo Pass, and it gives you access to 50+ activities across the city - so you can skip buying individual tickets, and even skip lines at some spots! It’s honestly such great value if you’re planning to stay active and explore multiple places in a day.
What I love most is how diverse the experiences are - from museums to immersive art spots (even places like teamLab!), plus a mix of indoor and outdoor activities… so you always have something to do, no matter the weather.
We used it to explore Ginza and visit some of its hottest spots - from Small Worlds to the viral art aquarium - and didn’t pay for a single entry!
And with unlimited subway rides included, getting around the city was effortless!
✨ Comment “Tokyo pass” and I will share 30% discount code with you!
The code is valid for:
– 1 Day Pass
– 1 Day Pass + Subway
📅 until December 31, 2026
Just enter the code at checkout under the coupon section!
So, if you’re planning a Japan trip, definitely save this - you’ll want it when building your Tokyo itinerary!

Hi, I’m Riana 👋
I’ve been living in Japan for 12+ years and now travel around the country with my 🇯🇵 boyfriend, sharing hidden gems, unique stays, and practical travel tips.
Follow for more Japan travel inspo✨
📍 Shogetsu Grand Hotel
Located in Jozankei, a famous hot spring town surrounded by nature and just 40–50 minutes from Sapporo!
Jozankei is known for its natural hot springs, snowy river views, and peaceful atmosphere - especially in winter. Think steaming outdoor onsens while snow falls around you, quiet mornings, and total reset vibes ♨️❄️
If you’re traveling to Hokkaido and want a true Japanese winter wonderland stay, this place is absolutely worth it!
Save this for your Japan winter trip 🤍
#japan #traveling #hotel #travelinspo #hokkaido
And it definitely wasn’t easy.
People love to romanticize living abroad - especially Japan.
But there’s a side you don’t really see on Instagram.
The years that build you before you get to enjoy anything.
I wasn’t traveling, exploring Japan, or enjoying life in general.
I was studying, working, and honestly just trying to get through everyday life in a confusing language.
Not complaining - just sharing a part of the journey
that shaped everything I have now.
And if 2026 really is the new 2016 -
I hope it brings growth… just without the same level of struggle 😅
I have a lot more stories from my 12+ years in Japan.
If you’d like me to share more - even the ones that aren’t exactly travel-related - let me know in the comments!

If you’ve heard of Beppu — Japan’s onsen capital — think of Yufuin as its quieter, cozier cousin.
Same hot spring magic, but in a mountain village filled with art museums, hidden alleys, and boutique-lined streets.
Here’s how to make the most of it:
⸻
🚄 How to Get There
Ride the Yufuin no Mori — a scenic train that feels straight out of a Ghibli film:
• From Fukuoka (Hakata): ~2 hrs / ¥6,130
• From Oita: ~1 hr / ¥2,370
🎟️ Pro tip: It books out fast on weekends — reserve early!
⸻
👀What to See
• Kinrin Lake – Misty mornings, hot springs, and mountain reflections
• Ogo-sha Shrine – Forest shrine with an 800-year-old sacred tree
• Comico Art Museum – Seasonal art meets Mount Yufu views
• Mount Yufu – Twin peaks, gorgeous hikes, and scenic drives
• Floral Village – Ghibli vibes + owls, goats, and quirky shops
• Trick Art Museum – Weird and fun 3D illusions
• Hidden Alleys – Skip Yunotsubo Kaido and explore quiet cafés and artisan boutiques ✨
(You’ll find my favorite spots in the “Kyushu” highlight!)
⸻
💡 Pro Tips
Yufuin can be a day trip - but staying overnight is magic✨
Book a ryokan with a private onsen, try a kaiseki dinner, and wake up to a dreamy Japanese breakfast 🍱
My go-to spot is saved in the “Kyushu” highlight!
⸻
📍 Planning a Kyushu trip?
You’ll find even more hidden gems, scenic towns, and underrated places in my “Kyushu” highlight 🌋
🔖 Save this for your trip & tag someone who needs to see this fairytale side of Japan 💛
#travelblogger #japanesefood #hiddengems #destination #ryokan
Here are 4 popular places I’d skip in Japan… and where I’d go instead: ❌ Osaka → ✅ Kobe: Smaller crowds, better views, amazing bakeries & seafood. ❌ Kyoto → ✅ Kanazawa: “Little Kyoto” vibes with geisha streets, samurai alleys & fresh seafood—minus the chaos. ❌ Hakone → ✅ Lake Yamanaka: Tranquil lake, jaw-dropping Mt. Fuji views, and peaceful onsen escapes. ❌ Nara → ✅ Miyajima Island: Sacred deer, floating torii gate, and an island atmosphere you’ll never forget.
✨ I even have a full video about Lake Yamanaka on my YouTube channel if you’re curious - check it out in my bio!
