The seats were very comfortable, and the whole train is reserved seating, so you don’t have to drag your luggage around looking for a spot. It made the ride really easy and relaxing.
This time I stayed near Nippori when visiting Japan, and I feel like the Skyliner is pretty much the top choice. It’s also very convenient for transferring after you get off.

Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is located by the sea, just a short walk from Yokohama Chinatown. It was opened in March of 1930, reclaiming the waterfront using rubble caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Yamashita Park is really relaxing, and the ocean view is beautiful. It's also close to the Red Brick Warehouse, Chinatown, and the Hikawa Maru, so it's very convenient to visit them all in one trip.

Neo Park Okinawa
This zoological and botanical garden is located about 10 minutes by car from downtown Nago. The vast site, nearly five times the size of the Tokyo Dome, features an area that reproduces the environment of a tropical region.
My favorite part was being able to feed the animals in the park. Lots of birds would fly right up next to us, so it felt very interactive. Both kids and adults had a great time.

A specialty crab restaurant in Sakai, Fukui Prefecture, a gourmet town that won the Gastronomy City Award 2025, serving Mikuni Port Echizen crab cuisine. This seaside auberge shares the Sea of Japan and the lifestyle of the port town through food. Accommodations are limited to one group per day for a fully private stay, while lunch and dinner at the restaurant are also available for day visitors. Outside crab season, it serves 'Echizen Kitamae Cuisine,' carrying on the food culture brought by Kitamaebune trade into the present day. The restaurant also participates in a project certified by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, offering dishes inspired by historical background and seasonal local ingredients.
The seafood was really fresh. You could really taste the natural sweetness of the sweet shrimp, scallops, and salmon roe, and the quality of the ingredients was excellent. The place was also clean and comfortable, with a simple Japanese-style interior. The dining space was quiet and had a nice, refined feel.
