It feels like the sea is sprinkled with tons of little islands—seriously breathtaking.
Walking along the trail, you get different views from every angle. On a clear day, the photos turn out amazing, like something straight off a postcard.
The whole place is quiet and super relaxing. Perfect for a slow stroll, taking in the scenery, and just zoning out for a bit.

Kaki Goya Fukuromachi Umihei Shoten
Opened in 2013 as a direct branch of the famous “Milky Tetsuo’s Oyster Hut Ujina”, Kaki Goya Fukuromachi Umihei Shoten continues the oyster hut tradition with the same sourcing methods and focus on freshness. Keep a pin on this go-to spot for Hiroshima oysters all year around.
The dining area feels kind of like a small shack—no real decor. It’s a casual, lively vibe, but be prepared for your clothes to pick up food smells while you eat.
Prices are reasonable, and the portions aren’t too small. -
Kanda Jimbocho Secondhand Bookstores
The world’s largest street of bookstores is in Jimbocho, a neighborhood in the Kanda district of Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward. With over 170 shops dealing in used books, there are many genres of reading material to choose from.
Some of these old bookstores really have a nostalgic vibe as soon as you walk in. Even if you don't buy anything, just browsing around is a great experience.

Resort Shirakami
A sightseeing train that runs from Akita Station to Hirosaki Station and Aomori Station via the JR Gonō Line. From the windows, you can enjoy spectacular views of Shirakami-Sanchi, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, and the Sea of Japan. Since its debut in 1997, it has continued to captivate many visitors. Three train sets are in service: Buna, Aoike, and Kumagera. The green Buna train is inspired by the primeval beech forests of Shirakami-Sanchi.
Riding this felt like being on a moving observation deck. The views were so beautiful I didn’t want to sleep. The whole coastline and mountain scenery were right there in front of me.
