The moment I walked in, I was blown away by the huge sacred tree. The energy here is really powerful!
TAKANAWA GATEWAY CITY
Japan's largest station-centered urban development project, led by JR East, opened in spring 2026 in front of Takanawa Gateway Station in Minato City, Tokyo.
It's really spacious—has the scale of Shinagawa Station but with the luxurious vibe of Ebisu.
Onomichi Emonya
“Onomichi Emonya” is a souvenir shop with the most variety of products in Onomichi, holding about 500 different items from all around the area. “Emon” means “high-quality product” in the Onomichi dialect. The finest selection of items at “Onomichi Emonya” reflects this definition. It’s appeal also comes from the vintage building, a renovated merchant house from the Meiji era.
This is a big souvenir shop with a huge variety of stuff. I was worried about my luggage being overweight, so I couldn't buy as much as I wanted.

You can get a close-up view of the whirlpools and the Onaruto Bridge here. The Awaji Island onion beef burger, which is ranked number one, tastes fantastic. The onions are a local specialty—super sweet and not spicy at all.
