Next to the shrine parking lot, there's a Rokkatei shop selling Hangan-mochi. The freshly baked crust is super crispy, and having it with hot tea on a cold winter day feels especially comforting.

Mojiko Retro Observation Room
One of Mojiko's premier viewpoints, the Mojiko Retro Observation Room is located atop an eye-catching high-rise condominium designed by renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The glass-enclosed observatory sits on the building's highest floor, complete with panoramic vistas of Mojiko and its surroundings from a height of 103 meters.
Standing up high and looking out over the port, the old buildings blend perfectly with the modern scenery. It's especially romantic at sunset—you can take some really atmospheric photos. Definitely worth going up for the view!

WHAT MUSEUM
An arts and culture hub that opened on Tennozu Isle in December 2020. The museum mainly showcases rare artworks that its operator, Terada Warehouse, has been entrusted with by collectors.
There are tons of architectural models inside Terada Warehouse. If you’re into architectural design, it’s worth a visit.

GRANSTA TOKYO
GRANSTA TOKYO is JR East’s largest train station mall. The huge open space with the sign “SQUARE ZERO” hosts select sweets shops, cafes, restaurants and general stores, which looks like a town itself.
There are so many different bento options at the station. Buying one to enjoy on the train is part of the fun of traveling!
