The park is just the right size—not too big, not too small. It's perfect for families with kids. The playground equipment is pretty fun, too.

Chofu Fireworks Festival
The Chofu Fireworks Festival was first held in 1933. Although it was suspended during the war, it was revived in 1954 as the All-Japan Export Promotion Fireworks Competition, and since 1982 it has been celebrated under the name “Chofu Fireworks.” Its most distinctive feature is the Hanabi-llusion, a collaboration of fireworks and music set against the majestic natural backdrop of the Tama River. Each year, fireworks are launched to different themes, delighting the audience. Around 10,000 fireworks are set off every time, making it one of the most spectacular displays in Japan.
The fireworks were absolutely stunning! The show lasted for over an hour, and I was completely satisfied. Honestly, it was even more impressive than the New Year's fireworks in Taiwan. The whole sky lit up—it was amazing.

Shinjuku Golden Gai
A traditional, retro nightlife district in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area, where around 300 bars occupy wooden row houses lining narrow alleys. It is known as a place where visitors can experience Japanese culture up close.
This experience gave me a whole new perspective on Tokyo's nightlife. It also deepened my understanding of the city's diversity and vibrant energy.

Alley Karasukojima
This park is one of the component sites of the Japan Heritage story “Four Dynamic Coastal Cities: Yokosuka, Kure, Sasebo, Maizuru-Centers of Japanese Modernization” and offers a glimpse into Kure’s history as a thriving naval port. It is also known as one of the few places in the world where visitors can see submarines up close. The Kure Naval District headquarters opened in 1889, and the naval arsenal was established the following year, where battleships and other vessels were built. The Yamato, once hailed as the world’s largest battleship, is also said to have been built nearby in strict secrecy.
This place is super impressive. It was my first time seeing a submarine!
