Onuma Wild Bird Observatory (Onuma Bird House)
Located on the shores of Onuma in Wakkanai, the northernmost city in Japan, the Onuma Wild Bird Observatory is a prime spot for birdwatching. In autumn, swans stop here en route to their wintering grounds, and in spring, they rest before heading back to Siberia. The sight of thousands of swans covering the surface of the lake is truly breathtaking-with peak days seeing up to around 7,000 birds.
This is a great place to enjoy nature and watch wildlife—especially if you're into birds! The environment is quiet and well-maintained, with binoculars and info boards to help you observe different bird species. The staff are also super friendly and happy to share their knowledge about the local ecosystem!

Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium
This is a huge aquarium with dolphins, beluga whales, orcas, and other sea creatures in the North wing, and various tanks with live coral and other sea creatures in the South wing.
There’s such a wide variety of sea creatures on display, and the environment is super clean and comfortable. The dolphin show was absolutely amazing! Perfect spot for a fun family day out!

Teuchi Jyudan Udon Baka Ichidai
Udon Baka Ichidai is about 7 minutes on foot from Kotoden Kawaramachi Station, and is a famous Udon restaurant that has lines forming outside. The restaurant is covered by the media, such as on TV and in magazines, and is visited by many famous people.
The noodles are chewy and springy, and the broth is rich and flavorful. The toppings are fresh and plentiful. Everything tastes amazing, and the staff are friendly. I’d love to come back!
