Kobe's port opened to the world early on, so many of the shops here have been around for ages—some for over a hundred years! With new stores mixed in, you really get a sense of history blending together. It's a fantastic shopping street to explore.

Kadoya Okaido Branch
Opened in 1955 as a local diner in Uwajima City, "Kadoya" now has a branch in Matsuyama, conveniently located near Matsuyama Castle, Dogo Onsen, and the city center. This restaurant is dedicated to offering traditional Uwajima cuisine with a focus on seasonal ingredients, fresh produce, and a vibrant dining experience.
The pork cutlet was super crispy—you could really hear that crunch when you bite into it! The meat was tender and juicy, and their sauce was the perfect match. Plus, you can get free refills on rice, which made the meal extra satisfying. The location is right inside the Okaido shopping street, so it's the perfect spot to recharge after shopping. Highly recommend!

Festival of the Lights in OSAKA: Midosuji Illumination
The "Festival of the Lights in OSAKA," which beautifully and fantastically illuminates the night of Osaka, is an event that has two core programs: the "Midosuji Illumination" on Midosuji, Osaka's main street, and the "Osaka Hikari-Renaissance" in the Nakanoshima, the symbol of the city’s waterways.
In a word, beautiful!
It has a totally different vibe compared to the glitz of Roppongi in Tokyo. -

Umi-no-Eki (Marine Terminal) Naoshima
A Miyanoura Port Ferry Terminal “Umi-no-Eki Naoshima” in Naoshima. An innovative design typical of Naoshima, an island of art with a large roof covering most of the site including a café, waiting area and a tourist information office dotted under the roof in glass box-like structures.
As the gateway to Naoshima, the port itself is designed with a real artistic touch. Even the terminal looks stylish.
