Even though I don't know much about Japanese history, the exhibits made it easy to understand how Japanese life has changed and evolved over time.

cafe SKY 40
A stunning-view cafe inside the Kuchu Teien Observatory at Umeda Sky Building, the only site in Japan selected for a UK publisher’s “Top 20 Buildings in the World.” More than the location, the menu stands out, especially the original coffee made with carefully selected beans.
The biggest selling point is the high-rise view. If you sit by the window, you can look out over the city.
The daytime view is pretty good, and it’s a big plus when the weather’s nice. It feels even better at night.
Great spot for chatting, a date, or just zoning out.
The coffee and desserts are pretty average—totally fine to drink and eat, but nothing that wowed me. The prices are a bit on the high side. -
Sendai Asaichi Morning Market
“Sendai Asaichi" has the advantage of being extremely accessible, only a five-minute walk from Sendai Station. The market sells mainly fresh local Miyagi fresh food products. There are also many diners, allowing visitors to enjoy all the food Miyagi has to offer, from shopping to dining.
There are so many kinds of fruits and veggies here, and everything is sold at really low prices. You might even find some unexpected surprises.

Ueno Zoo
This is Japan’s first ever zoo, founded in 1882. Despite its urban setting in the heart of Tokyo, it still keeps a lush, natural environment as well as about 3,000 different animal friends of some 300 different species.
The admission fee is quite reasonable and there are so many different kinds of animals. It's super convenient to get here by train.
