This must-visit old-fashioned shopping street leads all the way to Enoshima Shrine. The road slopes gently uphill and is lined with all kinds of unique shops, making it fun to browse as you walk. You can try Enoshima specialties like whitebait snacks and refreshing cucumber sticks, and look for locally distinctive souvenirs and handicrafts. The most eye-catching item is the huge rice cracker, almost bigger than your face, which really stands out in photos.

Amanohashidate View Land
Sat atop Mt. Monjuyama, Amanohashidate Viewland offers panaromic views from the south of Amanohashidate. Here you’ll find Matanozokidai, a outlook point nicknamed “Hiryukan” for its views of the Amanohashinodate that looks like a dragon climbing into the heavens.
日本三景之一的天橋立，一直都是口袋名單景點，趁著這趟關西旅行特別安排進行程，一次收集。從京都搭車前往約2〜2.5小時，大阪出發則約2.5〜3小時，雖然路程不算短，但為了美景一切都值得。
此次拜訪遇上櫻花季，展望台附近幾棵櫻花開得正漂亮，找對角度，就能把粉嫩櫻花與蜿蜒延伸的天橋立一起收入畫面。海灣、松林、櫻花交織在一起，像是大自然親手畫出的風景。
站在高處俯瞰這片景色，忍不住讚嘆大自然的奇妙。原來山海之間，真的能藏著如此令人心動的畫面。🌸✨

Inuyama Castle Town
This castle town stretches south from Inuyama Castle, a famous castle built in 1537 and designated a National Treasure. Miraculously spared from the ravages of war for more than 480 years, both the castle and castle town still retain the original town layout based on the defensive castle structure known as sogamae. With its old-world atmosphere and manageable size, it is perfect for a leisurely stroll.
Walking from Inuyama Station toward Inuyama Castle, you’ll pass through a castle town shopping street full of traditional Japanese charm. The old-fashioned streetscape has been preserved, and each little shop has its own character, so you won’t get bored while strolling and browsing. I also ran into a lot of Taiwanese people along the way. Hearing familiar Chinese instantly made me feel at home 😂 It seems Inuyama Castle really is a popular stop for many people visiting Nagoya. There are also plenty of snacks and souvenirs to buy along the way. It’s very relaxing to pick up a small snack and eat it while walking.

I-YOKAN SHIKA SHINAI！
A famous confection from Ehime prefecture. Madeleines made from a moist batter that contains sweet and sour iyokan. By added concentrate iyokan juice to the batter, giving it an expressive juicy mouthfeel and the refreshing taste unique of iyokan. Also, by mixing the finely chopped iyokan peel into the batter, you can really feel the taste of the source ingredient.
I-YOKAN SHIKA SHINAI is a recently launched souvenir inspired by Ehime's specialty citrus fruit and made into madeleines. They have a naturally sweet and tart citrus aroma, and the cake is moist and soft. They taste refreshing without being overly sweet. Compared with the traditional Ehime souvenirs commonly available, these feel fresh and new. I highly recommend trying them. I happened to spot them at a local 7-Eleven and bought them right away.
