There are lots of unique restaurants and shops here, serving authentic Japanese food. It's a great place to enjoy real Edo flavors.

Hammock Cafe La Isla
A hammock cafe at Senagajima Umikaji Terrace, a resort complex where you can enjoy views of the blue ocean and planes taking off and landing. Every seat, both indoors and on the terrace, is a hammock, including large hammocks you can lie down in, hammocks you can sit and play in, and colorful Maya hammocks handwoven one by one by artisans in Mexico, letting you relax in the sea breeze.
This whole place is insanely relaxing. The best part is getting to sit in a hammock while drinking coffee—super chill.
The space isn’t big, but the vibe is really laid-back. Just sitting there naturally makes you slow down.
The food and drinks are decent, nothing amazing, but the hammocks and soft background music make the experience even better.
It’s a great spot for anyone who’s not in a rush and just wants to kick back for a while. -
teamLab: Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces
teamLab Hidden Traces of Rice Terraces is a nighttime museum where nature and art merge at Izura in Kitaibaraki, a scenic area associated with Okakura Tenshin, a pivotal figure in modern Japanese art history.
The place really comes alive at night! The lights, tree shadows, and reflections on the water look amazing—super photogenic. Make sure to set aside some time for photos.

GRAND GREEN OSAKA
A large-scale complex built on the former Umeda Freight Station site, GRAND GREEN OSAKA is located just steps from JR Osaka Station. It consists of the South Building, North Building, and Umekita Park. Part of the facility opened in September 2024, with the grand opening scheduled for March 21, 2025, and the full completion planned for FY2027.
Super convenient location! The whole area is really well designed, with lots of greenery, cafes, and shops, so it’s a relaxing place to walk around. During the day it has a trendy vibe, and at night the lighting makes it feel really atmospheric—perfect for photos. I feel like this will become Osaka’s new landmark. Whether you want to stroll, grab coffee, or just take cool pictures, I totally recommend it!
