Tokyo Sea Life Park is a great place for families with children, with many fascinating marine life exhibits. My favorite was the penguin area. Watching the penguins swim freely and dart quickly through the water was cute and soothing, and I couldn't stop watching them. Besides viewing marine life, the aquarium also has a touch pool where you can get up close and feel the marine animals, which is a very special experience.

Kujukushima Senpei Honpo "Kujukushima Senpei"
A classic Nagasaki souvenir that has been loved since its debut in 1951. It was created through trial and error by a small confectionery shop founded in 1948 in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, shortly after the war, with the goal of making a new local sweet unlike anything else at the time. Its hexagonal shape is modeled after the auspicious shell of a turtle, and the peanuts generously scattered throughout the dough represent the beautiful silhouettes of the Kujukushima Islands.
Kujukushima Senpei is a well-known souvenir from Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan. Inspired by the beautiful seascape of the Kujukushima Islands, it has a delicate appearance with distinctive wave-like patterns embossed on the surface. The senpei is crispy, with a subtle sweetness and buttery aroma, and tastes light without being too rich. It pairs well with either coffee or tea〜

Nabekanmuriyama Park
This park sits atop Mt. Nabekanmuri in Nagasaki’s Minamiyamate district. Located about a 10-minute walk from Glover Garden’s second gate, the area has long been affectionately known as “Nabekaburi-yama,” or “inverted pot mountain,” for its rounded, pot-like shape, embraced by lush greenery.
If you're visiting Nagasaki, I recommend stopping by Nabekanmuriyama Park to enjoy the night view! It's a free observation spot, and from the observation deck in the evening, you can see twinkling lights against the harbor. It's romantic and enchanting, and also a lesser-known spot well worth saving.
