Tokyu Foodshow Edge
Step through into Shibuya Scramble Square for the mouthwatering wonderland that awaits at Tokyu Foodshow Edge, a full on food adventure with 60 different names top shop between the B2 and 1st floors.
Everything here looks so refined—it's like a luxury supermarket meets a gourmet food court! There are so many dessert counters, I couldn't decide what to get. Honestly, I wanted to take everything back to my hotel.
Ryukakusan Direct
Ryukakusan is a throat medicine that has been used for over 200 years in Japan to treat coughs, phlegm, and throat pain. The Ryukakusan brand is now releasing a new granule-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Stick” and a lozenge-type medication “Ryukakusan Direct Lozenge.” The stick-type version comes in peach and mint flavors.
I still think the original Ryukakusan works best!
Chuson-ji Temple
Chuson-ji Temple, founded in 850 AD, owns over 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties and is also registered as a World Heritage site. This temple was built to transmit the powerful wish to comfort the spirits of those killed in the Tohoku War, no matter which side they were on.
This place is fantastic! Besides the beautiful natural scenery, many of the museums with cultural artifacts require an extra fee.
Whirlpool Sightseeing Boat
The difference of tide between the Seto Inland Sea and Kii Channel creates the Naruto Whirlpool, which is one of the three greatest whirlpools in the world. The cruise ship will give you the perfect look at it.
If you want to see the whirlpools, make sure to check the tide schedule in advance. If not, you can also visit the Uzunomichi Walkway on the Onaruto Bridge and watch the whirlpools through the glass floor.
Ondo no Seto Townscape
It is said that the strait between Kegoya-cho, Kure City, and Kurahashi Island was cultivated as a new shipping route over 800 years ago in 1162 by Taira no Kiyomori, a powerful man of the time, over a period of about ten months.
You can take the Ondo ferry and enjoy the view of the two iconic bright red Ondo bridges. It's pretty meaningful.
