Located in Osaka's Dotonbori, Kani Doraku has become one of the street's most prominent landmarks thanks to its giant crab sign, making it recognizable almost at a glance. The restaurant specializes in crab dishes, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and careful preparation. Crab sashimi, charcoal-grilled crab, crab sushi, and crab hot pot are all quite popular, making it a popular choice for many travelers visiting Dotonbori.

JR Mojiko Station
JR Mojiko Station, facing the Kanmon Straits in Moji, is the starting point of the JR Kagoshima Main Line. The wooden two-story station building, designed in a Neo-Renaissance style, is characterized by a symmetrical exterior said to represent a "gate," and it has been beloved as a landmark of Moji Port for many years.
第一次來到門司港，就被車站的復古風情吸引，內部保留了許多大正時代的建築特色，木質裝潢、古典燈飾與懷舊氛圍，彷彿瞬間穿越時光，是一個很有特色的車站。

Yokohama Kiyoken (SHUMAI Bar) Tokyo Station
SHUMAI Bar is a dining concept pairing shiumai (steamed dumplings) with drinks, created by Kiyoken, the long-established company founded in 1908. At Yokohama Kiyoken (SHUMAI Bar) Tokyo Station on Nippon Gourmet Road, you can dine in or take your food away. Its shiumai owe their flavor to a combination of pork and dried scallops.
I was planning to take the Shinkansen to Shizuoka, so I made a point of stopping by the kiosk to pick out an “ekiben.” Somehow, riding the Shinkansen with a railway bento feels like the perfect travel ritual! This time, I tried a bento from Kiyoken. It came with their signature shiumai, and with a little soy sauce, the savory, salty flavor was just right. The seasoning overall was pretty good. I imagine it would taste even better heated up, with the shiumai served piping hot.

Tennoji Zoo
Tennoji Zoo opened on January 1st, 1915 and had its 100th anniversary in 2015. Almost 170 species and 1000 animals are kept in about 11 hectares of the zoo. In the reptile house, "Ifar," and in “African Savanna Zone” where hippopotamus, giraffes, and lions live, the ecological exhibition introduces reproduced scenery of animals’ habitats as closely as possible.
Tennoji Zoo is right in the city center and easy to get to. You can see all kinds of cute animals there, including lions, giraffes, elephants, and hippos. It’s quite relaxing to stroll around and simply enjoy looking at the animals. It’s a good backup plan for a rainy day and also great for families with children.
