The sound of the icebreaker ramming through the ice is weirdly soothing—and kind of thrilling.
Watching the drift ice float in toward the deck was absolutely breathtaking.

Kaiten Sushi Hakodate Marukatsu Suisan Main Branch
Located just a short walk from JR Hakodate Station inside the Hakodate Bay Gourmet Club, a dining complex in the bay area, this conveyor-belt sushi restaurant is operated directly by a long-established fishmonger.
The atmosphere here is super relaxed and the staff are really friendly. If you just want to sit down and enjoy some delicious seafood sushi without any fuss, this place is a solid choice. If you're in Hakodate and want reliable conveyor-belt sushi, come here—you'll leave full and happy!

DiverCity Tokyo Plaza
Welcomed by the gargantuan 19.7-meter, life-sized Unicorn Gundam statue, DiverCity Tokyo Plaza embodies its concept as a "theatrical urban space," offering a place to play, learn, relax, and just take in each moment of surprise and inspiration. Tantalize all five senses at this unforgettable destination that’s like none ever before.
Our tour guide left us here for the whole afternoon. The prices are higher than in the city, so I'm not sure why this was on the itinerary.

Shinsaibashi
Shinsaibashi is part of Osaka Minami’s downtown along with ” Dotonbori.” It covers Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street, West Shinsaibashi and East Shinsaibashi. Osaka Metro Midosuji Line / Nagahori Tusrumi Ryokuchi Line’s Shinsaibashi Station and Yotsubashi Line’s Yotsubashi Station are the gates to Shinsaibashi. It is a walking distance to Namba and can be a convenient base for touring around Osaka. There are many lodgings also.
It's super convenient for transportation and there are lots of drugstores. American Village and Dotonbori are nearby, making this a huge shopping area. Definitely a must-visit when you're in Osaka.
