All kinds of jellyfish move slowly in the tanks, almost like they're dancing. The jellyfish ramen and ice cream are unique and taste great too.

Kintaro Soba Yamamotoya
Founded in 1978, this long-established soba restaurant has continued to preserve kurumi soba, a traditional way of eating soba in Ouchi-juku, where freshly ground walnuts are mixed into the dipping sauce. The walnuts used are wild mountain walnuts that grow naturally in the Aizu region. Compared to common Western walnuts, these native walnuts have less bitterness and a deeper aroma and flavor.
Ouchi-juku is definitely a must-visit spot for many travelers who love coming to Japan.
The soba at Yamamotoya tastes very light and not greasy at all.
You eat the soba with a whole green onion, which really makes you want to take big bites of both the noodles and the onion.
A lot of people come here just for this, so it’s a really popular place.

Nada Fighting Festival (Nada No Kenka Matsuri)
The annual autumn festival is held on October 14th and 15th at Matsubara Hachiman Shrine in Shirahama Town, Himeji City. Known as one of the "Three Great Wild Portable Shrine Festivals" in Japan, the festival involves participants from the "Former Seven Villages," which are the seven coastal regions in the southeastern part of the city, part of the shrine's parishioners.
The Nada Fighting Festival held here is all about intense clashes between portable shrines. I didn't expect it to be such a masculine and even a bit rough event! It's definitely something unique and surprising.

Niihama Taiko Matsuri (Niihama Drum Festival)
Niihama Taiko Festival is held in Niihama City for 4 days from October 15 through the 18. It is counted as one of Shikoku’s Three Great Festivals along with Awa Dance in Tokushima and Yosakoi Festival in Kochi.
It was such a special experience to join the Taiko Festival! You can hear the whistles and drums from far away, and as the taiko floats come in, the excitement builds. Watching them compete to see which float can be lifted the highest and longest is super thrilling and impressive. Every year, tens of thousands of people come to see it in person!
