The wooden building is really impressive, but it doesn’t feel intimidating or too formal. You can totally picture how booming the herring industry must’ve been back then.
Inside is huge, and as you walk around you really feel how different life was in those days. The ocean view out the windows is a big plus too. It’s kind of a reflective place.
A quieter, more “museum-like” spot in Otaru, but with a lot of character.

The forest coverage here is impressive. This is the place where one of Japan's Three Sacred Treasures, the Kusanagi Sword, is enshrined. The shrine holds a highly respected status, second only to Ise Jingu.

This national treasure sits on top of a hill with beautiful views. From the castle keep, you can see all of Inuyama City.

This is a really large park. The ginkgo trees, which are the symbolic trees of Tokyo, are lined up neatly and look very impressive.

This is one of the rare places in Tokyo where you can see autumn leaves at night. It's truly precious, having been preserved since the Edo period.
