You can see the Tsunoshima Bridge and the ocean right outside the window. On a nice day, the view is absolutely beautiful. The food itself is pretty standard—mostly Western-style or simple dishes. Nothing too surprising, but the scenery really makes the meal more enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable and perfect for taking photos. If you're visiting Tsunoshima and want a place to relax, enjoy the view, and take it slow, this spot is a great choice for a meal with a view.

This steam train has a strong retro vibe from the Meiji era. It even whistles as it runs! If you're in Matsuyama, you can't miss the Botchan Ressha.

Uminchushubou Ikebukuro Sunshine City

This bar has delicious Okinawan cuisine. Despite being in Ikebukuro's Sunshine City, this restaurant is a relaxing space that feels like an Okinawan home. While giving yourself over to the sanshin's rhythm, all of their dishes are an exquisite taste of island food (Okinawan cuisine).
