Each drink will be available only in its own region, so if you were looking for a reason to travel around Japan, here is a great one. The drinks feature many very creative local ingredients and are modeled after the landscapes and industries that the regions are known for.

For example, the bright pink Yamanashi frappuccino honors the prefecture’s 1300-year-old grape industry with grape, cream, and white chocolate blended together. Similarly, Hokkaido’s locally-grown exports of Tobiki corn and milk are blended into the flavors of its frappuccino.

Other frappuccinos show off a region’s landscapes rather than its local ingredients. The Iwate drink is inspired by Mt. Iwate’s iconic form, with black sesame sauce, matcha green tea, and caramel sauce representing its many colors.

Starbucks’ biggest fans know that this company was originally founded in Seattle. The first store to ever open its doors in this city in 1971 was located at 2000 Western Avenue, but it changed its address five years later. It moved to 1912 Pike Place, the iconic address that’s now known by the nickname the Original Starbucks.

This may not be the first Starbucks to ever exist, but there’s something that sets it apart from any other store in the world. It’s been almost 50 years since this store stood in the same place, but it still looks the same way it did before: floors, fixtures, counters, and all!

Over the years, the Original Starbucks became one of Seattle’s top tourist attractions thanks to its unique, retro feel. Its doors are open between 7 am and 9 pm every day, and tourists from all around the world don’t mind waiting in long lines to get a fresh cup of coffee, even if it takes hours.
