This is the only shrine in Japan dedicated to the 'God of the Night.' It's really unique.

TENGA LAND
You can find TENGA LAND in Harajuku, a neighborhood known as the source of new trends and fashion. The shop had its grand opening in April 2024, on the 2nd floor of Harajuku’s Tokyu Plaza “Harakado”, noted as the first ever experience-based shop in Japan for self-pleasure items.
You can actually buy these products in a lot of places, but coming to the official store just feels more special...

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Tsukuba Space Center
The JAXA Tsukuba Space Center is one of Japan’s largest space development hubs. It conducts a wide range of projects, including the development and operation of satellites, research and development of rockets and transportation systems, and astronaut training.
The exhibits are incredibly professional, but the explanations are really easy to understand. There's even a real rocket model—seeing it in person was actually pretty moving.

Katori Jingu Shrine
Katori Jingu Shrine enshrines Futsunushi-no-Okami, a deity who appears in the Japanese myth known as the Transfer of the Land, and is the head shrine of approximately 400 Katori shrines throughout Japan. It has long had close ties to the Imperial Family and has been revered as a shrine that protects the nation. People continue to worship here for safety at home, prosperity in industry, safety at sea, and the fulfillment of heartfelt wishes.
A must-visit spot when you're on a day trip to Sawara.
We visited after exploring Sawara and the atmosphere here was truly impressive!
