Tourism in America
Yellowstone National Park, spanning three states in the midwestern United States, was established in 1872 as the world's first national park. Covering a vast area of approximately 9,000 square kilometers, it was once home to a massive volcano, and even now, magma comparable in size to the park itself lies beneath the surface. This area is one of the world's most concentrated regions of hydrothermal activity, with 200 geysers and over 10,000 hot springs. The forests and grasslands serve as sanctuaries for rare large wildlife such as grizzly bears, moose, and bison.
The park is divided into five main areas, featuring diverse attractions such as the Old Faithful Geyser, which erupts approximately 40,000 liters of hot water to heights of 30-55 meters at regular intervals, and the Grand Prismatic Spring, where the surrounding area inhabited by bacteria turns yellow while the high-temperature center reflects a vivid sky blue. Other highlights include the Terrace Mountain, formed by layers of solidified limestone from the hot springs, and the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, with its yellow cliffs colored by iron from hydrothermal activity, which also gave the park its name. Visitors can witness a variety of landscapes formed by these incredible hydrothermal phenomena and volcanic activities.
[Recommended for summer] Enjoy the spectacular river views in Sedona!
✩
📍 Slide Rock State Park👙🫧🪨
The most popular spot in Sedona in summer is Slide Rock State Park✨
Because it is an area where you can enjoy playing in natural water in Sedona, the holy land of power spots🫶🏽
From spring to summer, it is a place that many people visit!
It is surrounded by red rock valleys, and you can enjoy natural water slides in the middle of nature✨
There are also shallow areas that even small children can enjoy💕
However!
It is very popular and the parking lot is quite crowded...
Please note that in summer, if you do not go first thing in the morning, it will take a long time to get into the parking lot‼ ︎
It's also nice to have lunch or a picnic🧺 by the river, so it might be a good idea to prepare some food and snacks at a nearby supermarket or cafe before you visit👆🏽
We did our shopping at Whole Foods🫶🏽
Even if you don't swim, it's a relaxing spot just to look at the scenery✨

Breathtaking! The Grand Canyon, a masterpiece of nature in the USA.
A place you must visit at least once in your lifetime 🥹
The Grand Canyon
is located in the northwest of Arizona, stretching about 450 km in length and reaching a depth of approximately 1.6 km.
It is the largest canyon in the world ✨
The red-brown rock formations, said to represent 2 billion years of geological history,
create a landscape that is truly Earth's natural art!
To visit the Grand Canyon,
we recommend combining it with a trip to Las Vegas ☝🏽
We took a Cessna tour to the Grand Canyon!
The weather was so rough that the Cessna shook violently 🤣
But we were very satisfied because we got to see
beautiful scenery from above that can only be seen from the sky, as shown in photo 4 🥹
⭐︎ Recommended tourist seasons
Late spring in May and June, and early autumn in September are the most comfortable times to visit!
The temperature can drop significantly in the mornings and evenings, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket ◎
Be sure to visit along with Las Vegas!
[LA] Santa Monica - Venice Beach - Abbot Kinney
If you are going to visit Santa Monica, it is recommended to go a little further and visit Venice Beach and Abbot Kinney Boulevard🏝️
📍Santa Monica
The famous Santa Monica Pier🎡 is always crowded with tourists. If you go to the end of the pier, it feels like you are floating in the middle of the ocean👙
📍Venice Beach
About 6km straight from Santa Monica. It takes a little over an hour to walk, but if you rent a bicycle or kickboard, it's quick🛴(I used Veo and Metro!)
Street art can be seen everywhere in Venice Beach. There are colorful shops lined up, and the atmosphere is different from Santa Monica. There are also skateboard parks and basketball courts, and it was a beach filled with young people and a free atmosphere🛹
📍Abbot Kinney Boulevard
A fashionable street a little way from Venice Beach. There are select shops and cafes lined up.

Cafes & American food you should try in Los Angeles🍔🥤
📍EREWHON
A high-end supermarket with 10 stores in Los Angeles.
The Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie, a collaboration with Hailey Bieber that has been all over social media, is expensive at over $20, but I still want to order it and take a photo🥹💓
In the deli corner, you can choose from a variety of side dishes for your lunch box🍗All of them are really delicious and filling🫶
📍JOE & THE JUICE
A health-conscious cafe born in Denmark. I ordered a cute pink protein shake called THE BIG SMASH to accompany my stroll around Melrose🦩
-Strawberries, Pitaya Powder, Banana, Date Puree, Creatine, Collagen & Whey Protein, Coconut Drink
📍Pink's Hot Dogs
A famous hot dog shop that goes without saying🌭This is the American way! ! The wall visible from the eat-in corner after passing through the cash register is also pink, creating a great atmosphere 🙌
📍Starbucks 🇺🇸 Limited Drinks
What's fun about Starbucks overseas is the menu that's not available in Japan 👏
The photo shows the Summer Berry Refresher, which is only available in the US for Summer 2024 🍋 It's a bright blue lemonade drink with popping raspberry-flavored pearls that make it a perfect summer drink 🥤
📍IN-N-OUT BURGER
This is also a hamburger chain that you should try once when you come to the US 🍔 It's delicious when you pour the free spread sauce on the fries 🍟

📍Russ&Daughters Russ & Daughters is a popular, long-established bagel shop in New York that has been in business for over 100 years🥯 There are several stores in New York, including in the Lower East Side and Brooklyn✨ Among them, this store in Hudson Yards is recommended as it is easy to stop by after sightseeing at Edge🫶🏽 I visited during lunch time on a weekday, so the store was crowded when I arrived! A popular store loved by New Yorkers🥹❤️ When you arrive at the store, first take a number ticket and wait for your turn👆🏽 Order when your number is called✨ It took me about 30 minutes from when I entered the store to be called🙌🏽 Looking into the showcase, there were a lot of delicious-looking fish such as smoked salmon, herring, and caviar‼ ︎There are so many different kinds of cream cheese alone that it's hard to choose🥹 In addition to bagels, they also sell soup, babka, cookies🍪, etc.🤍 I chose a sesame bagel with cream cheese and egg salad🥚🫶🏽→It's like a Japanese egg sandwich It's quite filling so it's good for two people to share😂🤍It was really delicious〜🤤🤤 #NewYorkTrip #NewYork #USTrip #Breakfast #Bagel

Santa Barbara Station, USA
The Amtrak station in Santa Barbara, which connects various parts of the United States by rail. 🚉
The station building has an incredibly atmospheric vibe that took me by surprise 😳✨
In front of the station, there's a railway track that stretches straight as far as the eye can see 🛤️ It's such an impressive sight, it feels like something out of a movie 🕊️
It doesn't run as frequently as the trains in the city, but I was lucky enough to catch the arrival of a train 🥹🙌🏻
The two-story train had a retro feel to it, and I couldn't contain my excitement 🥺🫶
Sheraton Grand Los Angeles/America
Stayed at the Sheraton Grand Los Angeles 🤍
Located right in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, it's conveniently situated for getting anywhere ✨
It's a very large hotel, with a restaurant on the underground floor 🍽️
My favorite is the lobby floor where the front desk is located 🤍
It's spacious with high ceilings, giving a sense of openness ❗
The bar counter lined with bottles of alcohol was really lovely 🕊️

The Best Gelato Places in Santa Barbara
Tondi Gelato, a recommended gelato specialty store in Santa Barbara, USA🍨
Located on the first floor of Paseo Nuevo, a commercial facility in Santa Barbara☺️

They let me try a taste when I was having trouble choosing a flavor🤍
There is no eat-in space inside the store, but there are some benches and tables outside🫧

If you want to eat the famous sea urchin in Santa Barbara, this is the place.
Santa Barbara's specialty, sea urchin, as well as salmon and poke, can be purchased at the fish market, and you can take a stroll to the harbor walk 🐾
It was just during the magic hour, and the seafood eaten while watching the sky dyed pink, orange, and purple, and listening to the sound of the waves as background music was just too exquisite 🥹🫶
The fish market is frequented not only by tourists but also by locals who come to buy ingredients for cooking. The sea urchin was about $20 for a tray with 4 pieces × 2 👀✨

Recommended Cafe in Santa Barbara, America.
I had my eye on dunecoffee, which is a popular spot bustling with customers from morning 😆
The exterior wall features an iconic tiger painting, and there's a pleasant terrace seating area, as well as table and counter seats inside 🫧
I ordered a vanilla latte and a blueberry scone 🫐
I was shocked that it cost about 2,000 yen including a tip (the weak yen is tough 🫨), but it was such a lovely cafe that I would want to visit every day 🕊️🍃
Especially the blueberry scone was surprisingly delicious with just one bite❕🫢

[Oregon] Nike Headquarters
Nike World Headquarters
Beaverton, Oregon has been chosen as one of the "most livable cities." It is also known for being home to Nike's huge headquarters campus.
The public can enter the premises.
It's easy to get to because the metro runs from Portland. It's not far from the station.
On campus, you can see Nike's history in the free museum, and experience what it's like to be a Nike employee in the cafe and bar.
In addition, the vast grounds surrounded by greenery have many large ponds and grounds like lakes, and the headquarters of a large company in a natural environment is truly overwhelming.

[Southernmost point of America] Key West
Key West
Key West Island, about a four-hour drive from Miami, Florida, is the southernmost point of the mainland United States.
You can see Cuban-influenced townscapes, the Seven Mile Bridge, and amazing sunsets.
The town is lively, with bars, restaurants, Starbucks, and gift shops.
If you move away from the main street, you can see a more relaxed town. There are supermarkets and laundromats, and you can see another side of life.
There is a bus from the airport to Key West, so you can go there without having to rent a car.

The movie is being produced at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Address: 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608 USA
As you would expect from Hollywood, the shows and other events are very impressive.
There are many rides, some of which are not available in Japan, so it was a refreshing experience!

LA Disney❤️
I went to California Adventure Park!!
I was so happy to actually see and ride the Mickey Mouse Ferris Wheel that I had seen in pictures since I was little🫣
My favorite rides are the Cars and Incredibles rides💛
It's Disney, but as the name Adventure Park suggests, it felt more like an amusement park than Disney! lol

[USA, California] Salvation Mountain
I went to "Salvation Mountain" in California, USA.
It is a colorful work of art that local artist Leonard Knight started to create alone in the 1960s, and took 30 years to create, using the desert rocky mountain as a canvas.
There was a sandstorm on the day, so I was only able to stay for about 3 minutes and was not able to take a good look at it, but I was surprised to suddenly appear in the desert.

[American Bluff] Twin Rocks
I went to Twin Rocks in Bluff, Utah, USA.
It was a new moon that day, so I was able to see a beautiful starry sky!
I was able to take photos of the Milky Way and Twin Rocks, which are hard to see in Japan.
When the moon is out, it's bright and it's hard to see the stars, so I recommend going on a new moon 🏃♂️
