This is the tallest bronze Buddha statue in the Guinness Book of Records. You can take the elevator up to the observation floor.

Otaru Sakaimachi Dori Shopping Street
Located just one street away from the main thoroughfare facing the Otaru Canal, Sakaimachi-dori flourished during the Meiji and early Showa periods, becoming Otaru's main street.
This shopping street has preserved many old buildings and traditional-style shops, giving the whole area a nostalgic vibe.

GLION MUSEUM
A museum housed in a former warehouse at the Port of Osaka, one of western Japan’s leading international trade ports. Built about 100 years ago, the imposing red-brick warehouse is a valuable example of modern industrial heritage. The nostalgic atmosphere throughout the approximately 2.5-acre site evokes the streets of London or New York.
They display a lot of rare and valuable vintage cars here, and each one has its own unique history and story.

Kasama Inari Shrine
Kasama Inari Shrine, located in Kasama City in central Ibaraki Prefecture, is said to have been built in 651 during the Asuka Period, in the reign of Emperor Kotoku. Along with Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto and Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga, it is known as one of Japan's three most famous Inari shrines.
This shrine is even older than Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, with a history of over 1,000 years. It's also the most visited shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture.
