The retro vibe of Golden Gai is such a cool contrast to the modern feel of Shinjuku. Super interesting!

Fujitaya
Fujitaya, established in 1902, is a long-established restaurant serving “Anagomeshi”, located in the residential area near Itsukushima Shrine. Miyajima’s local dish Anagomeshi, is a Donburi (rice bowl) cuisine with conger eel that has been cut open along the back, brushed with a soy based sauce, grilled and placed over rice.
This is different from the usual eel rice. The texture of the fish is much more tender, and the special sauce smells amazing. It was so delicious I didn't leave a single grain of rice!

Yagenbori Hassho
Yagenbori Hassho is a top class popular restaurant, even within Hiroshima City that has many Okonomiyaki restaurants. People line-up in front of the restaurant every day, and it has a great deal of media coverage.
This is a well-known old-school Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki place. Be prepared to wait in line! The prices are low and the portions are huge—one serving is way too much for just one person.

Fukiware no Taki Falls
Usually, when you look at waterfalls in well-known tourist spots, you have to look up to feel their dynamism. However, Fukiware no Taki is different. As a place where you can feel the splendor of nature by looking down a waterfall, it is extremely rare. Also nicknamed the “Niagara Falls of the East”, this waterfall boasts a 7-meter drop and a width of 30 meters.
Surrounded by beautiful nature, you can really feel the powerful spray of the waterfall. No wonder it's called the 'Niagara Falls of the East.'
