They specialize in oden. The broth is super clear but packed with flavor—not overly salty, just the kind that gets more addictive the more you eat.
The daikon was seriously soaked through. One bite and it just burst with broth—so satisfying on a cold day. 🍢 The vibe is a bit old-school, and it gets crowded with both tourists and locals. Expect to wait in line during peak hours.
It’s not cheap, but the portion sizes and taste make it worth it.

Mt. Takao Beer Mount
This seasonal beer garden opens from late June through late October each year at an observation facility on Mt. Takao. Located at an elevation of 488 meters, it offers panoramic views extending as far as Tokyo Skytree on clear days.
The view from the whole place is great. Watching the sunset with the Tokyo nightscape is really romantic. The all-you-can-eat and drink setup is a fantastic deal, with plenty of food and lots of choices.

Nanrakuen Garden
One of Shikoku’s largest Japanese gardens, covering 153,322 square meters. This traditional stroll garden is designed around two ponds, the Upper Pond and Lower Pond, offering seasonal scenery to admire while walking along the water. Created using the finest modern landscaping techniques, it has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Urban Parks and is divided into four themed areas: mountains, villages, towns, and the sea.
This Japanese garden has such an amazing vibe! The scenery is beautiful in every season—cherry blossoms in spring, colorful leaves in autumn, all set against traditional architecture. The whole place is super clean and comfortable to walk around. There are streams, stone lanterns, little bridges—perfect for a relaxing stroll. If you love taking photos or just want a quiet spot to unwind, this place is a huge plus!

Nagoya Castle
One of Japan’s largest castle complexes, built in the early Edo period by order of Tokugawa Ieyasu, founder of the Edo shogunate. A pair of male and female golden shachihoko roof ornaments gleam atop the five-tiered Main Tower Keep, a symbol of Nagoya.
A lot of areas are under construction, so I couldn't see everything. That was a bit disappointing.
