Overall, this is a classic Tokyo spot. Even if you're not a huge animal lover, it's definitely worth visiting at least once.

Universal Studios Japan
Universal Studios Japan, nicknamed “USJ”, is a large-scale theme park with entertainment for everyone, both children and adults alike. The park is separated into different areas, each with a different theme from popular titles across the world.
The little shops in the mall near the park are super convenient.
You can grab food, drinks, and pick up souvenirs all in one place.
After you’re done at Universal, it’s fun to walk around there again.
The overall vibe is nice, and it’s a pretty good spot to sit down, relax, and have a meal. -

Izu Teddy Bear Museum
A museum showcasing teddy bears collected from around the world. Meet rare and adorable bears, including “Teddy Girl,” listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive teddy bear. Popular highlights include the Teddy Bear Factory, where you can make a one-of-a-kind plush, and the long-running special exhibition “My Neighbor Totoro Plush Exhibition Part 3.”
The museum has a bit of a vintage vibe and a lot of character. It doesn’t feel overly commercial.

Tojinbo Sightseeing Cruise
Tojinbo is known as one of Japan’s most iconic scenic spots. The columnar jointed cliffs, carved over many years by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan, are geologically precious and designated as a National Natural Monument.
Seeing those columnar joints from the sea is truly spectacular. Photos really can’t capture what it feels like in person.
