Yushima (Dangojima)

Floating in the Ariake Sea you’ll find a 4km island known as “Yushima” island, home to over 200 cats and the people who live with them. The cats are kept as precious friends and a special draw for tourists. Cats and the island people seem to live in a stopped time filled with easy going hours as the days go by.

There aren't many ferry departures, so if you miss one, you'll have to wait a long time. It's hard to plan your schedule. There are very few tourist facilities on the island, and after less than an hour, there's really nothing left to see.

Umibozu Main Store

You'll find Umibozu Main Store easily by the oversized, red paper lantern marked with the words “oden”. Located conveniently just 2 min. walk from Shizuoka Station, this spot offers a warm welcome and local vibe once you duck inside. Once inside your eyes will immediately travel to the source of the delicious smell, oden wafting up from the center hot pot.

The staff are super friendly, and the storefront is really easy to spot. Both the oden and fried chicken are delicious!

The grounds are huge, making it a nice place to take a relaxing walk.

Mt. Yoshino

Mt. Yoshino is acclaimed as the best spot to see cherry blossoms in all of Japan. In the spring, the entire mountain is washed with flowering trees as they bloom from the Shimosenbon (the lower 1,000 trees) at the foothills up to the Okusembon (the inner 1,000 trees).

There are lots of lively shops and restaurants along the way, and the path isn't hard to walk at all.

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.

It's really spacious inside, with three buildings you can take your time exploring.
