Saru Kani Gassen
This furikake is made with the luxe, high-quality flavor of seasoned nori that could only come from a nori merchant. If you sprinkle it on to white rice, you won’t need any side dishes to enjoy your rice.
For people who usually eat lighter flavors, this seasoning is a bit too strong. The mix of sweet and salty may not be for everyone, so trying it once is probably enough.
Usui Third Bridge (Megane Bridge)
Quietly nestled in the mountains of Annaka, Gunma, the Usui Third Bridge, better known as Megane Bridge, is one of Japan’s largest brick arch bridges, completed in 1892. Designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan as a railway structure from the Meiji era, its massive four connected arches, 91 meters long and 31 meters high, draw a graceful curve across the valley.
The red brick atmosphere is amazing—it feels like stepping back into the Meiji era.
It’s especially beautiful in the fall. The maple leaves with the red brick bridge look just like a postcard.
Takamatsu Symbol Tower
Standing 151.3 meters tall, the tower of Takamatsu Symbol Tower is the tallest building in Shikoku. Located just a 5-minute walk from the Takamatsu Port ferry terminal and 3 minutes from JR Takamatsu Station, it is ideally situated as a gateway for exploring Kagawa.
You can see all of Takamatsu and the Seto Inland Sea from the observation deck. The view is amazing when the weather's good! There are also restaurants and cafes downstairs, so you can enjoy the scenery while grabbing a bite. Just a heads up—the elevator to the top isn't free. I recommend going around sunset. Watching the sun go down is totally worth it!
