I recommend the restaurant upstairs—the city view while you eat is really relaxing.

Tanesashi Coast Information Center
A Ministry of the Environment facility that introduces and explains the nature and culture of the Sanriku Fukko National Park, with a focus on the Tanesashi Coast, where you can observe a wide variety of plants, and the Hashikami-Dake area. It also shares information on the nature and daily life along the Michinoku Shiokaze Trail, which stretches along the spectacular Pacific coastline, and offers opportunities and hands-on programs to experience them.
There are displays introducing the local ecosystem, plants, and animals. It’s nice and cool inside with the AC, and the big windows look out over the grasslands and the ocean.
A great place to pop in when you’re tired—rest a bit, refill your water, and take some photos. The overall vibe is super relaxing! -
Kinkaku-ji
During the Muromachi Period, the 3rd Ashikaga shogun, Yoshimitsu, made an abode in this temple called Kitayamadono. It was named as Rokuon-ji after the posthumous name of Yoshimitsu. He had also built Shokoku-ji Temple, and Rokuon-ji, his retirement home, was turned into a branch temple of Shokoku-ji.
The appearance of Kinkaku-ji is breathtaking. The gold-leaf-covered building sparkles in the sunlight, and its reflection on the Mirror Pond looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar
The Odakyu Limited Express Romancecar, operated by Odakyu Electric Railway, is an all-seat limited express train with a history of more than 80 years, having its roots in the "Weekend Onsen Express" that operated non-stop between Shinjuku and Odawara in the 1930s.
Sitting at the very front of the train car, you really get to enjoy the thrill of speeding along.
