Suga Shrine Otokozaka
Historical landmark
👍👍 Had to come here since ‘Your Name’ is my favourite movie of all time. The place itself is located in such a beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood and isn’t hard to access. There were only a few people taking photos of the stairs and in the shrine when we went on a weekday which made the whole visit a...

Min-on Music Museum
Museum
👍 It's a very small museum with few things to see, but I like it. This is a recommended place to stop by if you come to Shinano Town. I think an hour is enough. It is soothing to hear an introduction with a short performance of a classical piano such as the harpsichord and the tone of a music box. Wh...

Godzilla Head
Tourist attraction
👍👍 This is seriously one of the coolest tourist attractions we saw in Japan, and it was completely free! So there are actually two ways to enjoy this and it is daily from 12pm-8pm. 1: Go to Hotel Gracery and take the elevator up! As soon as you get off the elevator you will see a smaller version of Go...

Kyu-Goryo-Tei (Taiwan Pavilion)
Historical landmark
😐 This was a great looking area of the garden, with the Taiwan pavilion fitting right into the scenery that was. Nothing spectacular in my opinion, just still take a snap when you walk past.

Memorial Museum for Soldiers, Detainees in Siberia, and Postwar Repatriates
War museum
🫤 A one sided view museum focusing on the suffering of the Japanese. There is no mentioning on the suffering of the people being invaded by them. In fact, they still use the word "advance" instead of "invade" to describe their invasion to neighbouring countries. Whereas in the pamphlet they give aw...

Cat board
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The infamous cat board, it's as cool as you hear and read about, maybe better. I went at night time, I figured it would look better at night than during the day, but I can't compare it to the day since I didn't get the chance to. It was still pretty awesome to see though, watching the cat doing diff...
