Toyama Prefecture's Takaoka City, Japan

I never expected to stumble upon the hometown of Doraemon's creator—what an amazing surprise!

This is a city where you can enjoy the sea. The sea breeze instantly relaxes you, and as you stroll along the coast, you'll find numerous Doraemon-themed decorations and statues, as if stepping into childhood memories.

The best part is the foot baths 🦶🪣, where you can soak your feet while admiring the ocean view—a truly therapeutic experience.

Beyond the seaside, the streets are filled with unique shops and dessert cafes, each with its own charm, offering delightful surprises at every turn.

The entire city exudes a laid-back and clean atmosphere, naturally slowing your pace and allowing you to fully embrace the tranquility and ease.

I'm especially grateful to my brother's family for driving me around today and even treating me to lunch QQ. It was such a touching gesture! Although it was just a brief stop, it turned out to be the most relaxing and happiest day of my trip.
