Rotating Bridge | Review by Gina C

This is an excellent place to enjoy Aso’s magnificent natural scenery. Standing at the observation deck and looking out, the view is so beautiful that you can’t help but keep taking photos!

The most appealing thing about Daikanbo is that you can look out over Aso’s spectacular mountains and vast grasslands. Layers of rolling mountains stretch into the distance beneath an endless sky. The entire scene is truly magnificent, letting you feel the vastness and awe of nature.

There are many bridges along the Sumida River, each with its own design and features. As you walk along the promenade, you can also enjoy the cityscape from different angles. If you have enough time, you can also include Asakusa, Azuma Bridge, and the area around Tokyo Skytree to make your itinerary more varied.

Compared with crowded, popular tourist attractions, I prefer places like this where I can slow down and enjoy the scenery. When traveling in Tokyo, you don’t have to pack your schedule every day. Occasionally leaving some time for yourself to stroll along the river and take in the scenery is also a wonderful travel experience!

The shop has all kinds of matcha desserts, from matcha parfaits and matcha cakes to traditional Japanese sweets. Every one of them is tempting. Matcha’s distinctive aroma and slightly bitter flavor pair well with sweet ice cream and other toppings, making the desserts sweet but not overly rich and full of Japanese flavor. Being in Uji, a place famous for Japanese tea, makes it even easier to appreciate the appeal of matcha culture.

In addition to desserts you can enjoy at the shop, there are also many souvenirs that are perfect for taking home as gifts, such as matcha cookies, chocolates, and various teas. The packaging is beautiful and has a distinctly Kyoto feel, making them great for enjoying yourself or giving to friends and family.
