Dotonbori is lively and bustling, with plenty of great food and shopping options. The famous Glico Running Man sign is a must-photo spot. At night, the neon lights shine bright, giving the area Osaka’s unique energy and charm.

Kobe Anpanman Children’s Museum & Mall
This is a spot for children to meet their hero, Anpanman. The building is divided into two floors, with the museum on the second floor (admission fee applies) and a shopping mall on the first floor (free to enter).
The Anpanman Museum is full of childlike charm and joy. There are plenty of exhibits inside, and you can even interact with the characters and take photos.
Whether you're visiting with kids or you're an Anpanman fan, it's a place where you can make wonderful memories. -

Kobe Kitano Ijinkan (Former Foreign Residences)
When the port of Kobe opened in 1868, the "Kobe Kitano Ijin-gai (foreign city)" developed as a land of foreign settlement. Located on a hill overlooking the ocean, the town has a unique mix of Western and Japanese style buildings. About 30 Western-style buildings have been preserved in their original state, and 16 are open to the public.
Kobe Kitano is filled with a rich international atmosphere, with many historic Western-style residences still preserved. Walking along the sloped streets makes you feel like you're in a small European town.
Along the way, you can enjoy elegant architecture, as well as unique cafés, dessert shops, and creative boutiques. It's a very relaxing area to explore.
The overall environment is clean and comfortable, blending history, culture, and food. It's a popular spot you shouldn't miss when visiting Kobe. -

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium
“Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium” is a popular tourist spot, located in Okinawa’s Kaiyohaku Park. If you take the building’s escalator down from the 4th floor to the 3rd, you’ll find yourself at the entrance to the aquarium. The aquarium is designed as a “deep dive” into the ocean as you go down to the 2nd and 1st floors, so as you descend, a magnificent world filled with mysterious Okinawan ocean creatures unfolds before you!
Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium features a wide variety of marine life. The whale sharks and manta rays in the giant tank are truly stunning.
The park is well organized and both fun and educational. It's a must-visit popular attraction in Okinawa. -
