Sumida Aquarium
This aquarium is located on the 5th and 6th floors of Tokyo Skytree Town’s West Yard area.
The aquarium isn't very big, but the design is really well done and feels high quality. The penguins are absolutely adorable, and you can get close enough to watch them play and interact with each other.
Chichu Art Museum
Across Naoshima you’ll find art installations that blur the line between art and nature. The island is also home to Chichu Art Museum, a gallery designed by world renowned architect Tadao Ando.
It really feels like stepping into an underground world. You have to walk through a grassy slope first, and the atmosphere is super mysterious.
Tsuyama Railroad Educational Museum
A railway museum exhibiting historical railway artifacts out in the Otani, Tsuyama City area of northern Okayama Prefecture.
You can actually walk into the train shed and see the trains up close. It feels super immersive!
Kamenoi Hotel Nachikatsuura
Located in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, just a 10-minute walk from JR Kii-Katsuura Station, Kamenoi Hotel Nachikatsuura is an ideal base for exploring the World Heritage-listed Kumano Kodo. Book here for convenient access to iconic spots like Daimonzaka, the sacred Kumano Nachi Taisha, one of the Kumano Sanzan shrines, and Nachi Falls, one of Japan's three most famous waterfalls-all within an hour's reach.
The room had an amazing ocean view, which instantly put me in a great mood. Soaking in the hot spring while feeling connected to nature was just wonderful.
