Nagoya Castle is grand and impressive, and the golden shachihoko on the roof really stand out. It’s one of Nagoya’s iconic landmarks. Inside, there are plenty of historical artifacts on display, along with beautiful garden views. It’s worth taking your time to explore.

Dotonbori
Crab, octopus, cow, crane….these are just a few of the oversized 3D signboards that make up the look and feel of the bustling Dotonbori Area. Its packed with a number of eateries along the northern Dotonbori River and main street along its southern side.
Dotonbori is lively and bustling, with plenty of great food and shopping options. The famous Glico Running Man sign is a must-photo spot. At night, the neon lights shine bright, giving the area Osaka’s unique energy and charm.

Kobe Anpanman Children’s Museum & Mall
This is a spot for children to meet their hero, Anpanman. The building is divided into two floors, with the museum on the second floor (admission fee applies) and a shopping mall on the first floor (free to enter).
The Anpanman Museum is full of childlike charm and joy. There are plenty of exhibits inside, and you can even interact with the characters and take photos.
Whether you're visiting with kids or you're an Anpanman fan, it's a place where you can make wonderful memories. -

Kobe Kitano Ijinkan (Former Foreign Residences)
When the port of Kobe opened in 1868, the "Kobe Kitano Ijin-gai (foreign city)" developed as a land of foreign settlement. Located on a hill overlooking the ocean, the town has a unique mix of Western and Japanese style buildings. About 30 Western-style buildings have been preserved in their original state, and 16 are open to the public.
Kobe Kitano is filled with a rich international atmosphere, with many historic Western-style residences still preserved. Walking along the sloped streets makes you feel like you're in a small European town.
Along the way, you can enjoy elegant architecture, as well as unique cafés, dessert shops, and creative boutiques. It's a very relaxing area to explore.
The overall environment is clean and comfortable, blending history, culture, and food. It's a popular spot you shouldn't miss when visiting Kobe. -
