Geisha Alley is full of classic Edo-era vibes. The lantern-lit alley is quiet and charming—it's the perfect place to experience traditional Japanese culture!

Mojiko Retro Observation Room
One of Mojiko's premier viewpoints, the Mojiko Retro Observation Room is located atop an eye-catching high-rise condominium designed by renowned Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. The glass-enclosed observatory sits on the building's highest floor, complete with panoramic vistas of Mojiko and its surroundings from a height of 103 meters.
The Mojiko Retro Observation Room is totally worth a visit! Take the elevator up and the view just opens up—harbor, ocean, you can even see the city across the way. It has this cool retro-meets-modern vibe, and every photo turns out great! I recommend coming at sunset—the sun and ocean together are super romantic. Afterward, you can check out the retro street area nearby and grab some baked curry. Such a satisfying sightseeing trip!

Fudoin (Koyasan)
Fudoin is a temple whose principal object of worship is a hidden statue of Fudo Myoo, carved by Kobo Daishi (Kukai). The temple was founded in 907 by the high priest Jiko. In the main hall, along with Fudo Myoo, memorial tablets such as the image of Nichirin Daishi and the Hachiman Bodhisattva inscribed on a boat plank are enshrined and honored through daily rituals.
Fudoin has such a peaceful vibe. It’s not very big, but the atmosphere is both solemn and relaxing. Just stepping inside makes you feel calm. The architecture is charmingly old-fashioned—perfect for a slow stroll and quietly soaking in the tranquility.
