Checked into the hotel early, so I took a stroll down the street outside the onsen area before dinner. The Ainu wood carvings, embroidery, and daily goods are not only practical but also rich in cultural meaning. There was a lively festival at night, but honestly, it was really cold.

Former Foreign Settlement of Kobe

Kobe opened its port to the world in 1868 and became an important trade center for foreign countries. Under this circumstance, the Kobe Motomachi area was designated as a residential area for foreign traders. Massive neo-classical Western architecture from that time is well preserved, offering a western townscape in the middle of Japan.

Kankakei (Ropeway)

Kankakei is a gorge in Kagawa Prefecture’s Shodo Island. It is located in the heart of Setonaikai National Park. The valley of Kankakei was formed over thousands of years as volcanic andesite and agglomerate were thrust upward via shifting of the earth’s mantle and eroded by rain and wind, creating a spectacular scene of sheer cliffs and rock formations.

The best time to visit is during the autumn leaves season. If it's not autumn, it depends on how much time you have, since taking the ropeway and exploring the area takes quite a while.
