Konica Minolta Planetarium Manten NAGOYA
This is the first Konica Minolta Planetarium in the Tokai region, operated by the group behind three popular planetariums in Tokyo. Located in the AEON Mall Nagoya Noritake Garden just steps from Nagoya Station, this easily accessible hub offers a fun time away, complete with shopping, dining and more.
The sound system is awesome and the whole experience is super immersive. I felt so relaxed after watching—I almost fell asleep!
Yomiuriland
Yomiuriland is the historic, representative amusement park of Tokyo that is located in the area spanning across Inagi, Tokyo and Kawasaki, Kanagawa.
The food and shows in the park are definitely highlights, making the whole experience even more fun and complete. Overall, Yomiuriland is a fantastic spot for families and friends to enjoy together. I made some really unforgettable and happy memories here.
Kaiyukan
Celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2025, this aquarium is located in Osaka. The aquarium, which recreates the natural environment surrounding the Pacific Ocean, is home to a total of 620 species and 30,000 living things.
It's kind of a letdown when so many foreign tourists don't follow the rules.
Miidera Chikara-mochi Main Shop
This 150-year old veteran wagashi shop sits just steps from the Keihan Biwako-Hamaotsu Station. Well known today, it first made its mark with the famed Miidera Chikara-mochi. Each starts with a bite-sized piece of mochi that’s coated in the house-special white honey and finished with a dusting of green soybean kinako powder. This same formula has been passed down for decades, insuring the same flavor is still available today. The treat is named after the legend where Japanese warrior monk Benkei drags the sonorous bell of Miidera (Onjo-ji) temple up to Mt. Hiei.
In Taiwan, mochi usually comes with peanut powder, but in Japan, it's kinako (soybean powder), which is less sweet.
Kumano-Nachi Taisha
In 662 BC, Kamuyamato-iware-hikonomikoto (became Emperor Jinmu) dedicated Nachi Waterfall as a god in this shrine. It is the head shrine of Kumano Shrines all over in Japan, known as one of the three major Kumano Shrines. It has another name, “Musubi no Miya” which means the shrine to bring a marriage and wishes to come true.
This shrine has a really spiritual vibe.
