Path of the Gods
The Path of the Gods (Kami no Michi) is the sacred approach to Miho Shrine, stretching about 500 meters straight from Miho no Matsubara to the shrine’s torii gate. According to legend, this path was once taken by the gods who descended to Miho no Matsubara, guided by the sacred “Hagoromo Pine.”
This place feels so peaceful and sacred. The whole path is surrounded by a strong shrine atmosphere.

Glasses Street
Sabae City in Fukui Prefecture is world-famous as a production hub for high-quality eyeglass frames, with a 96% share of the domestic market in Japan. To better promote this strength, Sabae City has been pushing the “Glasses Theme Park Plan,” an effort to turn the entire city into an eyeglasses-themed park.
So unique! The whole street is full of glasses-related shops—even the streetlights and decorations are shaped like glasses. Super cute!
This is a famous eyeglasses production area in Japan, and a lot of stores can do custom frames. If you’re into special designs or handmade frames, you’ll be thrilled.
There’s also a glasses museum where you can try assembling your own pair.
It’s not a huge area, but it’s fun and very photogenic. Great for a quick stop to stroll around, snap a few pics, and then grab a meal nearby. -
Kanazawa Sightseeing Rickshaw Romanya
A rickshaw tour led by experienced pullers through Kanazawa’s charming historic streets. There are several boarding points around Higashi Chaya District, and in addition to the standard teahouse district sightseeing course, you can also access popular attractions such as Kenrokuen Garden, Kanazawa Castle, the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, and Omicho Market. Since the departure and arrival points can be set separately, adding it to your sightseeing route makes it easy to visit popular spots efficiently.
The moment you get on, it feels like you’ve traveled back in time. The rickshaw pullers wear traditional outfits, and they’re both super professional and friendly~
As they pull the rickshaw, they introduce the sights along the way, so you can take your time enjoying places like Kenrokuen and Higashi Chaya District. They’ll even help you find great angles for photos 📸.
The best part is that you don’t have to walk around yourself, and with the breeze blowing, it feels incredibly relaxing. In winter, they even give you blankets, which is so thoughtful~ If you ride as a couple, it’s really romantic and feels like a little getaway 💕.
