The smell when it hit the table should be illegal. Super strong garlic and pepper aroma, with the skin fried to a golden, slightly crispy finish. The meat inside is still fairly juicy, and from the very first bite you can tell it’s on the rich, heavy-flavor side.

Kimisarazu Tower
An observation tower rising from the summit of Ota Mountain Park in Kisarazu City. Built in 1992 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the city’s incorporation, this 28-meter-tall tower features a sword-shaped design topped with figures of Prince Yamatotakeru and his wife, Ototachibanahime, reaching out toward each other. This hill, tied to the tragic love legend of “Kimisarazu,” is also known as the “Forest of Love” and is cherished as a symbol of Kisarazu.
If you’re coming to the Kisarazu Outlet, this is an easy add-on since it’s not far away. The seaside walkway below the tower feels really relaxing, and it’s just right for a walk and a little sun.

Michi no Eki Yoshiumi Iki-Iki Kan
At the foot of the Kurushima Strait Bridge, Michi no Eki Yoshiumi Iki-Iki Kan is an expansive roadside rest spot for travelers. Visitors can enjoy a view overlooking the Kurushima Strait while eating fresh seafood dishes or barbequing on the coals of a personal grill.
Whenever I visit a tourist spot, I always stop by a Michi-no-Eki because you can count on finding local food and specialties. Here, you get to enjoy fresh seafood while taking in the beautiful ocean view. The best part is picking your favorite seafood and grilling it yourself—such a treat!

Dogo Onsen Annex Asuka-no-Yu bathhouse
This hot spring facility opened in 2017 as a base for introducing a new hot spring culture. Under the theme of "Ancient Dogo," the building incorporates architectural styles from the Asuka Period, which is appropriate for Dogo Onsen, Japan's oldest hot spring.
The main building didn't really catch our interest, so we ended up trying the annex bathhouse. It's a bit pricier, but once inside, we found the space comfortable, with fewer guests and even a semi-open-air hot spring area. The whole environment was super relaxing. Highly recommended!
