A very local, down-to-earth tourist workshop. They specialize in Echizen soba, and you can find everything from production displays to shopping and samples.
As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by the aroma of buckwheat. It feels pretty soothing.

Okayama Korakuen
Tsunamasa Ikeda, the feudal lord of Okayama ordered the creation of this garden as a spot of relaxation. In 1700, the garden was complete. As the years went by, the scenery of the garden changed. Once a relaxing spot, the garden gained kinetic energy with the creation of water streams, and lakes.
The scenery changes with each season—spring, summer, fall, and winter. It's also one of Japan's three most famous gardens.

JMSDF Kure Museum (Tetsu no Kujira Kan)
The JMSDF Kure Museum, also known as Tetsu no Kujira Kan, displays Akishio, a Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine that served from 1986 to 2004. This valuable museum is the only place in Japan where visitors can explore the interior of a submarine that was once in active service.
I've never seen a submarine before! You can actually go inside and see what it's really like. The exhibits show the equipment and living spaces, and there are guides who explain everything on site.

Kintaikyo Bridge
Kintaikyo Bridge is one of Japan's most celebrated wooden bridges. Designated a national Place of Scenic Beauty and considered one of Japan's three most famous bridges, this impressive five-arch bridge spans the Nishiki River and measures 193.3 m long and 5 m wide.
The bridge looks stunning at night when it's lit up. The lights really bring out its beautiful and charming appearance.
