  • These two huge shopping malls just opened, including NEWoMan. There are hotels and restaurants, so you can go straight from the station to your hotel, drop off your bags, and head downstairs to shop and eat!

  • There's a direct sales shop and a deli here, plus you can buy fresh ingredients from local farmers.

  • You can spot karakami wallpaper in modern spaces like hotels and restaurants, as well as in lighting and art panels. It's fun to come here and try making it yourself!

  • The Suntory Museum of Art has special exhibitions featuring paintings, ceramics, lacquerware, and glass art. It really brings the beauty of everyday life to everyone.

  • Besides the monument related to the school, they also hold memorial prayer gatherings here on Niijima's birthday.

  • This art museum is tucked away in the upscale Shoto neighborhood. They sometimes host concerts, art classes, and other cultural events here!

  • They say this is the most expensive building in the world per square meter. Definitely worth checking out if you get the chance!

  • Admission to the Northern Wild Plants Garden is free, and there are over 600 plant species here. It's a great spot for nature observation and walks from early spring to late autumn.

  • This is the oldest existing building in Higashi-Yamate, and it used to be the Russian consulate too! When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, you can really enjoy the contrast between the flowers and the building. ❤️

  • I made an Okinawan shisa here... They also have other things like Ryukyu glass, candles, music boxes, and glass beads. You get to take your finished piece home. Totally worth recommending!
