You can take the ropeway up or drive, and each way has a different feel. But the views from the ropeway are really nice.

Hakata Motsunabe Oyama One Building
Hakata Motsunabe Oyama One Building is an offal hotpot specialist in the Tenjin area of Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka. It is on B1F of ONE FUKUOKA BLDG., a commercial facility that opened in April 2025. It is easy to access from Tenjin Chikagai, which connects directly to Tenjin Station, and it is popular with locals and travelers alike.
Although I didn't eat at this particular location, I've had the same brand's motsunabe before, and honestly, it really wasn't to my taste. The beef intestines were extremely hard to chew. Even after chewing forever, they were still like rubber bands and impossible to bite through, so I almost had to swallow them whole. They were also full of fat, so after two or three pieces, I started to feel overwhelmed by the richness. The texture was quite different from what I'd expected.

Osaka Shinsekai Original Kushikatsu Daruma Shinsekai Main Store
Founded in 1929, just off Tsutenkaku Tower, Osaka's landmark. The main store of "Kushikatsu Daruma", which operates mainly in Osaka city.Kushikatsu is fried in Daruma's special original cooking oil making it light and easy to eat and does not cause stomach upsets like many heavy deep fried dishes can.
My first time trying Daruma kushikatsu, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The coating was nice and crispy without being too greasy, and both the meat and seafood were really juicy. The sauce really is one-dip only, and it was fun eating there while soaking in the local Osaka vibe.

GariGarikun Soda
Japan’s classic ice treat, GariGarikun Soda, is a simple yet exceptionally well-crafted frozen treat made with soda-flavored ice on the outside and crunchy shaved ice on the inside. Its defining feature is this two-layer structure, with outer ice and inner shaved ice, allowing you to enjoy two different textures in one bar. Along with its refreshing soda flavor, it is also a long-selling product that has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for many years.
I love that crunchy, shaved-ice texture. It’s pretty different from a regular popsicle, and it feels especially refreshing on a hot summer day.
