When you visit Higashi Chaya District, you have to get a gold leaf ice cream from Hakuichi! I also picked up some edible gold leaf to take home—just sprinkle it on your food and it instantly looks fancy.

Taito City Shitamachi Museum
This museum displays a wide range of materials related to the shitamachi area centered on Taito City, including historical materials, everyday tools, toys, and items connected to seasonal annual events. Its biggest highlight is the recreated Tokyo shitamachi streetscape on the first floor. Visitors can step inside the buildings, touch everyday tools, and experience how people lived at the time.
It felt like stepping back into old Tokyo. The details of daily life had so much character—simple, but very authentic.

Himeji Castle
This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.
It's one of Japan's cultural heritage sites and really special. Definitely worth a visit.

Besides the rides, the parades are amazing too!
