Evangelion at Hamamatsu City Hall?! Only in Japan!

Image
If you’re a fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion (or just love cool anime surprises), there’s a hidden gem waiting for you in the middle of Hamamatsu—a city not far from Mount Fuji and well worth a visit. At first glance, Hamamatsu City Hall looks like any other government building. People go there to pay bills, file paperwork, or ask about local services. But step inside the lobby, and you’ll find something totally unexpected… Meet EVA Unit-01… in a government building?! That’s right. Right in the city hall lobby, you’ll see a glowing-eyed display of EVA Unit-01, plus life-sized plug suits, posters, and artwork from the world of Evangelion. It’s like a mini pop-up museum, but inside a building where people usually go to do serious stuff. Even if you’re not a hardcore fan, it’s a fun and weird experience—one of those “Only in Japan” moments where anime culture suddenly appears in everyday life.

My Visit to the Sakura Tunnel in Fukuroi City

Image
Last year I visited Sakura tunnel in Fukuroi City in Shizuoka Prefecture, and I want to share my experience at the Sakura Tunnel. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, especially during the cherry blossom season. Walking through the Sakura Tunnel was like a dream. The cherry blossom trees were in full bloom, and the pink petals created a magical tunnel. It felt like I was in a fairy tale. The flowers were so delicate and beautiful, and I couldn't stop taking pictures. I learned that the best time to visit the Sakura Tunnel is from late March to early April. This is when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. The exact timing can change every year, so it's good to check the local forecast before planning your trip. There are many things to do in Fukuroi City besides visiting the Sakura Tunnel: Picnicking: I brought a blanket and had a picnic under the cherry blossoms. It was so peaceful and relaxing with the petals falling around me. Photography: I took many ...
