Northeastern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko
You’ll find this jaw-dropping panorama at the northeastern shore of Lake Kawaguchiko, right next to the Kawaguchiko Music Forest. It’s especially popular in spring, when shutterbugs flock to the site looking to capture the sacred mountain with a frame of pink sakura, courtesy of the dozens of cherry trees by the shore. On windless days when the lake is exceptionally still, you might even be able to take a shot of the majestic mountain and its reflection on the lake's surface.

Tsumugi
@graceg
🌟 A beautiful cafe attached to a major temple in the tsukiji area. I highly recommend going here for their breakfast! They have several options, but the set meal with 18 small dishes the most famous, and impressive. This place is really popular and they have a limited amount of sets they serve each day, so if you want to make sure you can try it, you can ask someone at your accomodation to help you make a booking for that specific breakfast set. Otherwise try and go on a weekday because it’s especially popular on weekends!
The walk from Ginza station is pretty reasonable.
