The shopping street in front of the main building was packed with people. The “mikan juice from a tap” is definitely a fun local experience.
I naively thought the mikan juice that comes out when you turn the faucet was free 😆
The Starbucks here is connected to the station and has a retro vibe, and even the Lawson sign is designed to be low-key.
I also heard they recreated the Bocchan Clock for Taipei Songshan. I’ve never seen it in Taipei Songshan, but I’ve seen the one in Matsuyama, Ehime twice 😆

It’s such a shame I can only give this 5 stars.
Itsukushima Shrine looks completely different in each moment—the shrine under the clear daytime sky, the shrine at night when the tide goes out, and the shrine floating on the sea the next morning. It feels majestic, solemn, and dreamlike...
At low tide, you can walk down to the tidal flats and get close. At high tide, you can admire the torii gate floating on the water from afar. Absolutely worth the trip!
I quietly promised myself I’d come back again. -

Yuda Onsen is known as the "White Fox Hot Spring," and the whole onsen town uses the white fox as its mascot. You can spot cute white fox statues all around the area, and in front of the station there's even an 8-meter-tall white fox named "Yutakun" welcoming visitors. It really leaves an impression.
There are footbaths everywhere, so it's super relaxing to stroll around and take your time! -

The Geibikei Gorge boat ride uses a traditional flat boat. The boatman poles it along the stream, carrying visitors while you take in the magnificent gorge on both sides.
The scenery is beautiful, and the cool breeze takes away the summer heat. Looking at the unusual rock formations while listening to the boatman sing feels relaxing and wonderfully carefree. -
