There are so many different sizes of Daruma dolls here, from tiny ones to ones so big you can't even carry them! When you buy a Daruma, you get to paint the eyes yourself, which makes it feel really special and meaningful.

Banei Tokachi (Obihiro Racecourse)
This is the only racecourse in the world that hosts Banei Keiba, a unique style of horse racing found only in Hokkaido. In Banei Keiba, massive “banba” draft horses, a breed originally known for heavy labor during Hokkaido’s pioneering days, race to pull sleds weighing up to one ton across a 200-meter dirt track.
Totally different from regular horse racing. The pace is pretty slow, and it’s more about strength than speed. A really unique experience.

Kushida Shrine
This head shrine is said to have been built in the 8th century. Residents in Hakata call it “Okushida san.” Hakata Gion Yamakasa festival declares the arrival of summer to the City of Hakata in July, and is dedicated to this shrine.
It has a festival-like vibe. It’s near the shopping arcade, so you can just take a short walk and you’re there.

Tempozan Ferris wheel
With a height of 112.5 meters and a diameter of 100 meters, this is one of the world's largest Ferris wheels, lasting about 15 minutes per lap. On a clear day you can see as far as Mount Ikoma in Nara Prefecture to the east, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge in Hyogo Prefecture to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south, and Mount Rokko in Hyogo Prefecture to the north. While you are here in Osaka, you can feel as if you are taking a round trip around the Kansai area.
After visiting the aquarium, you absolutely have to ride one of the world's tallest Ferris wheels!
