The train makes a brief stop at Moka Station, which is a great chance to get off and take photos of the steam locomotive. The countryside scenery outside the window is beautiful, and when I went, it wasn't crowded at all. The whole trip was really relaxing. 😌

DAIGOJI Temple
In 874, Reverend Kobo Taishi’s disciple, Rigen Taishi founded this head temple of the Shingon sect. The entire 2.6 square miles of Mt. Daigo is the premise of the temple, the largest in Kyoto City.
Many of the buildings in the temple are designated as National Treasures and World Heritage Sites. The area you can visit is pretty big, so you'll need an hour or two to see everything.

Aizu Sazaedo (Entsu Sansodo)
Sazaedo is a Kannon-do hall located at the midway of Iimori Hill known as the place where the Byakkotai corp had suicided. The official name is Entsu Sansodo. This three-layer Hexagon kannondo hall was built in 1796. It is 16.5m-tall and was built by Ikudo, a priest of Seishuji, a local temple.
You can walk through it really quickly, but they still charge an entrance fee. The Sazaedo itself doesn't seem to be well maintained.

Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe
The aquarium is centered around "Nixe Castle," which was built on the actual "Egeskov Castle" model in Denmark. About 400 species and 20,000 living things are on display. The entire interior of the beautiful brick castle is used as an aquarium.
Most of the visitors inside were tour groups from Taiwan. I barely saw any Japanese people.
