The sake cup design is exquisite, with traditional craftsmanship and real attention to detail. It really adds a sense of ceremony to tasting sake. Such a unique and meaningful experience!

Shimamoto Hakata Hankyu Store
Shimamoto Hakata Hankyu Store is a directly managed retail shop operated by Shimamoto, a mentaiko specialty store founded in 1976. It is located on the B1 floor of Hakata Hankyu and is known as one of the leading mentaiko shops in Fukuoka and Hakata. While many makers use imported roe, Shimamoto carefully selects only domestically produced Alaska pollock roe, said to account for less than 10% of what circulates on the market. It uses no coloring and stays committed to a traditional method in which each piece is finished by hand.
The mentaiko is really fragrant, and it’s not overly salty. It goes amazingly well with white rice. You can tell the quality of the mentaiko itself is good instead of just tasting salty.

Utopia Farm Miyakojima
A tourist farm located Approx. 10 minutes by car from Miyako Airport. Around 50 bougainvillea plants gathered from around the world are grown in greenhouses, where you can enjoy their vivid blooms year-round. Other highlights include rare varieties of hibiscus and orchards bearing tropical fruits such as mangoes, papayas, and bananas.
This place is mainly about tropical fruits and plants, like mangoes, papayas, and passion fruit.
If you come in the right season, you can see the trees loaded with fruit, and the whole scene feels really soothing. The staff were also quite friendly and gave simple explanations without making it feel pressured. -
Hakodate City Chiiki koryu Machizukuri Center
Hakodate City Chiiki koryu Machizukuri Center with a domed roof is designated as Hakodate’s landscape forming architecture. Having been in use since 1923, this building went through a massive renovation into the design similar to the former Marui Imai kimono shop’s Hakodate branch.
The space is bright and clean, with a rest area, information desk, and free seating where you can take a break. They also hold events and exhibitions inside, so it's super comfortable to stop by when you're tired from walking around.
