It took a long time to walk from the parking lot to the main keep while stopping for photos. I almost missed the last entry!

MILKHALL MOJIKO
“Milk Hall" was a restaurant that gained popularity during the Meiji and Taisho periods, and was a kind of predecessor to cafes that served milk and light meals. Located overlooking the Kanmon Straits in the Mojiko area with its retro townscape, this is another restaurant with a variety of menu items inspired by the Taisho era.
Super retro and cute! The whole place has a real Showa-era vibe. The desserts and drinks are made with so much care—it feels like stepping into a time machine. The pudding and milkshakes are delicious, and everything looks great in photos. It's a chill and photogenic spot for afternoon tea!

Tenryu-ji Temple
This is the head temple of the Tenryuji sect of the RInzai school. It was founded by Ashikaga Takauji in 1339, during the early Muromachi period, in memory of Emperor Go-daigo, with Muso Kokushi (the eminent Zen master Muso Soseki) appointed as founding abbot.
Walking through the Sogenchi Garden at Tenryu-ji, you can hear birds singing, feel the gentle breeze, see the play of light and shadow on the trees, and watch the ripples on the water. If you close your eyes and use all your senses to take in the subtle changes in nature, it's truly a wonderful feeling!

Rohto V11
Rohto is a long-standing pharmaceutical company with over 120 years of history. It also Japan’s leader in the eyedrops industry. “Rohto V11” is the culmination of Rohto Pharmaceutical’s eyedrop technologies; it contains 3 types of anti-inflammatory ingredients, and it effectively treats inflammation of the eye.
I remember the first time I used these eye drops, I borrowed them from a coworker and was totally blown away. They felt super refreshing and my eyes instantly felt comfortable. Now, I always use them after long hours on the computer at work!
