Through the castle's architecture, exhibits, and explanations, I gained a deeper understanding of life and the historical background during the Edo period.

NANSEI PLUS
Located in the ever-evolving Shimokitazawa area, NANSEI PLUS sits by the southwest exit of Odakyu Line Shimokitazawa Station and has become a popular station-front destination. The area features a variety of dining options along with the multi-use complex (tefu) lounge, drawing plenty of attention. Nearby, the lush Shimokita no Hara Plaza offers a green open space where visitors can relax and enjoy their time in their own way.
It really matches the overall Shimokitazawa style and leans more toward an everyday lifestyle vibe.

Mochio Park
The only park in Miyazaki Prefecture selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots," this is a cherished spot for locals. From late March to early April, approximately 2,600 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino and Yaezakura, bloom, vividly coloring the entire park.
Climbing up to Mochio Shrine and looking out over the sea of flowers is so relaxing—the view is just amazing!

Michi-no-Eki Kitaura (Kitaura Roadside Station)
Located in northern Miyazaki Prefecture, Michi-no-Eki Kitaura lies within the scenic Nippō Kaigan Quasi-National Park, in the coastal town of Kitaura. Surrounded by sea and forest along National Route 388, it sits within the Shimoaso Beach Resort's Hamayu Village Campground, offering a natural and serene atmosphere.
The food is a good value, but the premium seafood can be a bit pricey. It's best for a casual meal.
