One of the best spots for cherry blossom viewing. Absolutely beautiful.

Kobe Festival
Kobe Festival began in 1971 through the merger of the Minato no Matsuri, which originated in 1933, and the Kobe Carnival, first held in 1967 as its eve-of-festival celebration. The event takes place every year on the third Sunday of May and is a large-scale, citizen-participation festival featuring a wide variety of activities.
The whole city gets involved in this festival! There are parades and performances on the streets, and the vibe is super lively. Tons of people everywhere. There are lots of food stalls, so you can snack while you walk around—it really feels like a street fair. Compared to traditional small festivals, this one is more like a big carnival. If you want to experience Kobe's energy and take some fun, lively photos, it's definitely worth checking out at least once.

Megane Bridge (Spectacles Bridge)
More than ten stone bridges were built over Nakajima river running across the central Nagasaki City, the Megane bridge is one of them and the oldest in Japan. In 1634, a monk, Mokusu-nyojo who was in the second generation of Kohfukuji Temple was said to build this bridge, 22m long and 3.65m wide, and the bridge has been designated as a national important cultural property.
I heard this is one of the oldest arch bridges in Japan. If you're a history buff, you definitely have to check it out.

MOL Sunflower (Kansai–Shibushi Route)
The Sunflower ferry on the Osaka-Shibushi route is a popular option for traveling between Kansai and southern Kyushu. The vessels Sunflower Satsuma and Sunflower Kirishima, launched in 2018, feature symbolic spiral staircases and a grand atrium, creating a luxurious, hotel-like atmosphere.
I didn't expect the ferry to be this comfortable. The room was clean and really quiet~
