"Dancing with Drift Ice in Hokkaido" (Taiwanese member)
In Utoro, on the Shiretoko Peninsula, a World Heritage site, drift ice typically arrives between February and March each year. During this period, drift ice diving tours are held. Dive into the sea with a temperature of -1 to 2℃! You can surprisingly withstand the cold thanks to the thermal suits. For those who might need a bit of courage to try drift ice diving, we also recommend the drift ice experience tour from the deck of a boat.

【Tohoku】Impressed by the Beautiful Cherry Blossom Trees
"In 2023, I went to Tohoku alone to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Even though they had announced that the blossoms would bloom early, I kept changing my schedule and hotel, and as the date approached, I became anxious. The weather forecast was for heavy rain, and amidst various fatigue, I was anxious before departure. However, my mood completely changed after arriving in Japan. The weather was unexpectedly good, and the cherry blossoms were very beautiful, filling me with memories!" (Member from Taiwan)
If you're coming to Japan in spring, don't forget to enjoy cherry blossom viewing. The Tohoku region usually welcomes the best time to see cherry blossoms from early April to early May. The Shiroishigawa Riverbank in Miyagi Prefecture, the Samurai Residence Street in Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture, and Hirosaki Park in Aomori Prefecture, where the Cherry Blossom Festival is also held, are worth visiting if you can time it right.

【Kansai】Touring Bamboo Groves and Temples in Arashiyama, Kyoto
"In December 2018, my wife and I traveled to Arashiyama in Kyoto.

After that, we came to the Togetsukyo Bridge over the Katsura River and spent some quiet time sitting on the embankment. We then visited the Tenryuji Temple in Arashiyama. The temple's garden was beautiful, and the traditional buildings exuded an atmosphere of long history. Our trip to Arashiyama in this season had neither snow nor autumn leaves, but its unique quiet beauty and natural scenery left us with unforgettable memories." (Member from Taiwan)
