The area around here is the famous Shinsekai shopping street, packed with restaurants sporting flashy signs everywhere.

Kazura Bridge (Fukui Prefecture)
Ikeda Town in Fukui Prefecture is surrounded by unspoiled nature and traditional rural scenery. Spanning the tree-lined Asuwa River is a rare suspension bridge made with kazura vines, measuring 44 meters (144 feet) long, 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) wide, and 12 meters (39 feet) high.
Very rustic, very countryside, and very thrilling. The whole bridge is woven from vines, and honestly it looks a little scary.
It sways when you walk on it, and the gaps under your feet are pretty big. If you look down, you can see the river right below, so anyone who’s nervous about that might end up with shaky legs 😅 -
Kokyo Gaien National Garden
This park is located in the area outside the Main Gate to Japan’s Imperial Palace. At the center is the Garden Plaza, where green lawns are dotted with about 2,000 black Kuromatsu pine trees.
The Imperial Palace is usually closed to the public, so you can only take photos near the Nijubashi Bridge. The spacious garden in front is really well maintained.

Nippondaira Hotel
Nippondaira is known as one of Japan's leading tourist destinations. Nippondaira Hotel enjoys an outstanding location overlooking Suruga Bay, with the World Heritage-listed Mount Fuji directly ahead. Its predecessor, Nippondaira Kanko Hotel, opened in 1964. It was renamed Nippondaira Hotel in 1979 and completely renovated in 2012.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room offer an absolutely stunning view.
