The night view is absolutely gorgeous. Just a heads up—there aren't any street lights at night, so make sure to stay warm! 😐

Shougetsudo
Founded in 1910, this long-established shop has been making its signature Yunohana Manju using the same method for generations. Today, wagashi known as “onsen manju” are sold at hot spring resorts across Japan, but Shougetsudo’s Yunohana Manju is said to be the original. Each bun is filled with elegantly sweet, smooth red bean paste and wrapped in a fluffy dough colored brown with brown sugar, inspired by the hue of Ikaho’s yunohana (hot spring mineral deposits).
The bun has a thin skin and a fragrant filling that isn’t overly sweet. Freshly made and served nice and warm.
There’s often a line, but it’s worth it.
It’s a great way to try a traditional flavor, and it also makes a solid souvenir. Highly recommended—definitely a must-try. -
Unko Museum OKINAWA
Unko Museum is Japan’s first museum themed on poop, with permanent venues in Tokyo and Nagoya. Its permanent Okinawa venue, Unko Museum OKINAWA, is located on the 5th floor of Aeon Mall Okinawa Rycom.
Kids will totally lose their minds here! At first, adults might think it's a bit childish, but in the end, they're the ones taking the most photos.

Fukusaya Nagasaki main store
Castella, a sponge cake brought to Nagasaki in the mid-16th century along with Nanban trade, quickly became a favorite across Japan thanks to its fluffy deliciousness and high nutritional value. It was particularly embraced by students who came to Nagasaki from all over Japan to study medicine and Dutch studies.
Their honey castella is really something! The texture is super fine and it’s not dry at all!
