Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.

Universal Studios Japan is fun for all ages! Totally worth a visit—I actually think it's way more fun than Disney. There are so many themed areas and so many attractions that you can't do them all in one day. I spent from early morning until night and still wanted more.

Harbor View Park

Harbor View Park is located on a small hill overlooking the Port of Yokohama. When the port first opened, the area was used as a foreign settlement with the British army stationed on the hill and the French army at the bottom, so the area features locations like the “French Mountain” and “British House Yokohama.”

Harbor View Park is one of my favorite parks. The whole place is beautiful, especially the English Rose Garden and the Fragrance Garden—they're just gorgeous. The park is pretty big, so it's also nice for a walk.

Yamashita Park

Yamashita Park is located by the sea, just a short walk from Yokohama Chinatown. It was opened in March of 1930, reclaiming the waterfront using rubble caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.

The rose garden at Yamashita Park is huge, and the roses are really beautiful. There's also a big cruise ship docked by the sea. The open view facing the ocean is so refreshing! I highly recommend this place.

Suzakaya Soba Niigata Station

This popular “hegi soba” noodle shop is just a 4 minutes’ walk from Niigata Station. Niigata’s special hegi soba noodles are served cold on a square wooden plate called a “hegi”, arranged into bite-size bundles.

A few years ago, I had lunch at 'Suzakaya' near Niigata Station while traveling in Niigata. A friend recommended a unique type of soba, and after reading this article, I realized it was the famous local 'hegi soba.' I still remember how chewy and delicious it was. Once the pandemic is over, I definitely want to go back and enjoy it again.

Sekaizushi

Sekaizushi is home to fresh sushi and sashimi dishes only available in Niigata, as well as a full range of authentic local fare. The owner is known especially for increasing the number of Niigata sushi fans with his “kiwami” sushi menu, a dish that can be enjoyed at over 20 famous sushi shops in Niigata City.

If you're in Niigata, you absolutely can't miss the sushi made with fresh fish like nanban shrimp from local waters and Koshihikari rice. I heard it's not just locals—lots of people from all over Japan and even overseas come here just to try it.
