Hakodate Seikan Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu-maru
The Hakodate Seikan Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu Maru was built on the hull of the Tsugaru Maru (2nd generation), a liaison ship that served as the Seikan Liaison Ship and was known as the "bullet train" of the sea. After the ship ended its service in 1988, it was converted into an exhibition ship and opened to the public as a memorial ship, and later reopened in 2003 as the current Hakodate Seiko-Hakodate Liaison Ship Memorial Museum Mashu Maru.
You can learn about the ferry's structure and history through panels and videos. I really recommend this place! 🤣

Imperial Theatre
It was a private theater completed in March 1911 as Japan's first Western-style theater, led by businessmen and business leaders who were leading the country at the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912). Known by the nickname "Teigeki", it is also known as the first theater in Japan to show productions titled "musicals".
The magnificent Imperial Theatre in Marunouchi is awesome for watching shows. There are four different-sized stages that can move up and down, plus a rotating stage. Very cool!

Otori Shrine
The shrine enshrines Ama-no-Hiwashi-no-mikoto and Yamato Takeru-no-Mikoto and is famous for the Tori-no-ichi (rooster market) held every November on Tori-no-Ichi (the day of the rooster). The day when Yamato-Takeru no Mikoto visited the shrine to pray for a battle’s victory was designated as the regular festival day of Otori Shrine, which is said to be the origin of the current "Tori-no-ichi" (rooster market).
The alley is packed with stalls selling kumade (rake-shaped charms)—it's super dazzling. You can even spot the names of famous people, kabuki actors, and top politicians from Asakusa on the giant kumade they've reserved!
