Watching the dolphin show here was so relaxing. The 15-meter underwater tunnel in the aquarium perfectly recreates the unique marine ecosystem of Mutsu Bay. Seeing all kinds of fish and huge rays gliding gracefully overhead really felt like stepping into an actual underwater world. I ended up stopping and watching for a long time without even realizing it.

GariGarikun Soda
Japan’s classic ice treat, GariGarikun Soda, is a simple yet exceptionally well-crafted frozen treat made with soda-flavored ice on the outside and crunchy shaved ice on the inside. Its defining feature is this two-layer structure, with outer ice and inner shaved ice, allowing you to enjoy two different textures in one bar. Along with its refreshing soda flavor, it is also a long-selling product that has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for many years.
GariGarikun Soda flavor is a must-buy convenience store treat in Japan during the summer.
You spot it right away, and it’s icy, crunchy, refreshing, and seriously tasty.
I have to get one every time I come to Japan. -

This free-to-ride pass is available for global tourists and foreign Japan residents alike. It offers unlimited rides for 5 days on JR East lines, including bullet trains, limited express trains, BRT (Bus Rapid Transit), the entire Tokyo Monorail line, the entire Aoimori Railway line, and the entire Iwate Galaxy Railway (IGR) line, covering the area from Kanto to Tohoku. A major perk is the unlimited use of reserved seats on bullet trains and limited express trains within the valid period.
The JR East Pass (Tohoku Area) is absolutely perfect for exploring northern Tohoku and the entire Tohoku region in depth.
The convenience of this pass is hard to beat.
It gives you unlimited rides for 5 days, making it easy to connect your favorite arts and culture spots with the natural scenery of northern Tohoku. -

Towada Art Center
The museum was opened in 2008 as the central facility of the city's art-based local cityscape project. Many of the works are large three-dimensional works in which the entire space becomes the work of art, rather than paintings. The art square across from the museum, as well as the streets surrounding it, are scattered with artworks, transforming the entire town into an open-air contemporary art museum.
Art isn’t something lying in a museum display case; it’s life itself.
Towada Art Center perfectly captures that idea.
It’s not just a sightseeing spot, but a space where you can step away from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with yourself.
You can really take your time here to appreciate the art and take photos. -
