Spanning the Katsura River, the bridge is about 155 meters long and has a traditional Japanese style. Its wooden railings complement the natural scenery, giving it a rustic and elegant appearance. Togetsukyo Bridge has a very long history. It was first built around the Heian period and was later rebuilt several times due to flooding and other causes. The current bridge was completed in 1934. Legend has it that Retired Emperor Kameyama was viewing the moon from the bridge and saw it appear to cross over the bridge, so he named it “Togetsukyo,” or “Moon Crossing Bridge.” When the cherry blossoms bloom in spring and the maple leaves turn red in fall, the bridge, mountains, and water complement one another, creating especially beautiful scenery.

Yurakucho Marui
The “Yurakucho ITOCiA” commercial complex stands in front of the ticket gates of JR Yurakucho Station. The Yurakucho Marui fashion mall occupies the first through eighth floors.
Yurakucho Marui combines fashion, lifestyle goods, and dining in a comfortable shopping environment filled with greenery. Its biggest feature is its active promotion of subcultures, with a large area dedicated to anime and gaming events. It frequently hosts pop-up exhibitions and themed events featuring popular IPs. There was even a pop-up café featuring beautiful girl characters before, but unfortunately, I missed it. It was a shame.

SUNSHINE SAKAE
The building is located along Nishiki-dori, one of Nagoya's main streets, and features a Ferris wheel on its wall. The Ferris wheel, called "Sky-Boat," is 40 meters in diameter and reaches a maximum height of 52 meters above the ground.
Located in the Sakae area of central Nagoya, this is a prominent local shopping and entertainment complex that is easily accessible from Sakae Station on the Nagoya subway. Its most iconic feature is the huge Sky-Boat Ferris wheel on the outside of the building, whose striking appearance has made it one of the Sakae area's landmarks. During the day, the Ferris wheel is eye-catching against the bustling surrounding streets. At night, the lights create an even more romantic atmosphere, making you want to stop and take photos again.
