It's a small place, but super cute! You can see sea turtles of different ages up close, and watching them swim around is so relaxing. The explanations are really thoughtful—they talk about how sea turtles live and how they're protected. It makes you feel sorry for them, but also admire how tough they are. You can see everything in about 30 to 40 minutes, so it's the perfect stop to fit into your schedule. Great for animal lovers or anyone who wants to chill in the AC for a bit. Totally fine to bring kids, too!

Nishiyama Park (Fukui Prefecture)

With over 160 years of history and beautiful scenery, the park has been selected as one of the 100 Historical Parks of Japan.

If you’ve got the stamina, you can hike up the slope to the observation deck. The view from the top totally makes it worth the effort.

It really feels like a local spot, almost like living a day in the life of the people here. The supermarket's deli section is awesome! The bento boxes are tasty and cheap!

Yomeimon Gate is absolutely stunning, with its gold decorations and intricate carvings—so different from typical Japanese architecture. There's also a famous carving of a sleeping cat, but it's a bit hidden, so you have to look for it.
Compared to Kunozan Toshogu, Nikko Toshogu is much larger and the artistry of the carvings is truly unmatched. It's no wonder it's a World Heritage Site.

Toyosu Market

To avoid further deterioration, the aging Tsukiji Market, known as the “kitchen” feeding Tokyo’s people, was moved to Toyosu in 2018. Along with improving safety, observational tour routes were set up, making it easy for visitors to enter the market.

The new location is clean, bright, and well-organized. There's a visitor route where you can see what it's like to work there. Transportation is super convenient, and lots of famous sushi restaurants are gathered here. The freshness is top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable.

Whenever I travel, I love learning about the local history and culture. This museum does a great job explaining things, so you get a clear picture of what shipyards were like in the Edo period and what life was like in the Showa era. It really makes my trip more interesting and diverse.
