The park's design is super detailed, filled with classic elements and scenes from Ghibli movies. From the moment you enter, it feels like you've stepped into a real-life Ghibli animation, with familiar characters and settings everywhere.

Michi-no-Eki Itoman
One of Okinawa’s largest roadside stations sits along National Route 331, about a 20-minute drive from Naha Airport. The entire property sings with the fishing town character of Itoman, complete with a jaw-dropping variety of succulently fresh seafood, local fruits and vegetables, and regional specialties.
This is a lively roadside station in southern Okinawa. They have all kinds of local fruits, veggies, and seafood at really reasonable prices. You can also find Okinawa-exclusive souvenirs here. There are plenty of food stalls too—try the sea grapes or bitter melon dishes for something unique. The place is clean, parking is easy, and it's perfect for a quick stop to restock during your trip.

Manza Onsen
Manza Onsen is located at an altitude of 1,800 meters at the foot of Mt. Kusatsu-Shiranesan, which rises in the northwestern part of the prefecture. As a highland resort in Joshinetsu National Park, Manza Onsen is an attractive year-round hot spring resort for summer getaways and skiing in winter.
The quality of the hot spring water here is excellent and has great therapeutic benefits. Soaking in the onsen really helps relieve muscle fatigue and relax both body and mind. It's especially helpful after a long day of traveling.

Kusatsu Onsen (Kusatsu Hotspring)
Kusatsu Onsen is popular and well known as one of Japan's three major hotsprings. 32300 liters per minute naturally gushes, which is admitted as the highest amount of discharge in Japan, the source water with high acid is known to have an excellent antibacterial effect.
Kusatsu Onsen was already a famous hot spring in Japan, but after Hiroshi Abe starred in the Thermae Romae movie, it became even more popular.
