We bought the express VIP pass and got to enjoy several rides as soon as we entered the park. Harry Potter, Flying Dinosaur, Jurassic Park—we barely had to wait at all. Totally worth it for saving time!

MUJI Ginza
The world flagship store is located along Namiki-dori Avenue in Ginza, an upscale shopping area in Tokyo. Here, visitors can experience MUJI's concept of proposing "sensible living" in all aspects of clothing, food, and housing from various angles.
This MUJI in Ginza is totally flagship-level. The selection is insanely complete, and there’s even a restaurant upstairs. You can shop and grab a bite at the same time—love it.

Izumi Park Town Tapio
A lifestyle-oriented shopping complex featuring around 80 diverse stores and restaurants, spanning fashion, culture, and gourmet offerings. Located in Izumi Park Town, a new residential area in Sendai’s Izumi Ward, the mall attracts visitors who also enjoy the adjacent Sendai Izumi Premium Outlets for shopping and dining.
Feels like it’s mainly for families and people who live nearby.
The pace is much slower compared to the department stores in the city center. -
Okazaki Castle
A castle where Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616), who founded the Edo shogunate, was born. In 2006, it was selected as one of the “Top 100 Castles in Japan.” With many legends tied to dragons, it is also known as “Tatsugajo (Dragon Castle).” One legend says that when Takechiyo (later Ieyasu) was born, dark clouds swirled above the castle and a golden dragon appeared.
The exhibits inside are pretty seriously done—not the kind of place you just breeze through. If you’re a history nerd, you can easily spend longer here than you’d expect.
