A small but beautiful and peaceful museum where you can really get to know the life of Matsuo Basho.

Okinawa Outlet Mall Ashibinaa
Okinawa Prefecture’s first outlet mall, located near the beach at Toyosaki Seaside Park. The name “Ashibinaa” means “playground” in the Okinawan language, reflecting the vision of creating a place where people of all generations can gather. The mall was designed by John Low, an internationally active architectural designer who has won major competitions.
The food court isn't very big, but there are a few Okinawan dishes worth trying. Overall, it's not tiring to walk around, and it's a great place for some serious shopping!

Kagurazaka
Kagurazaka, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, first got its start as a bustling geisha district. Visitors here will find a large shopping street that’s home to trendy shops and cafes, but just a few steps from the main drag sits a few cozy, veteran Japanese eateries, chic cobblestone streets and black, wood-latticed fences.
It really reminds me of Hanamikoji Street in Kyoto. There are lots of upscale restaurants and old shops, giving you a taste of traditional Tokyo.

Koto City Fukagawa Edo Museum
A full-scale recreation of the streets of Fukagawa Saga-cho, Edo, around 1840 fills an exhibition hall extending from the basement level to the second floor. The main street features a fertilizer shop, an inn that provided boats for leisure outings, and a white-walled storehouse. The square beneath the fire lookout tower includes a water teahouse, similar to a modern-day café, as well as tempura and soba stalls that could be described as Edo-period fast food.
The entire venue is set up with thoughtful lighting and sound effects, plus there's a guide who patiently explains everything one-on-one. It really helps you understand what daily life was like during the Edo period. Highly recommend checking it out!
