Ueno Park is right next to JR Ueno Station, so it's super convenient. Besides the park, there's also the famous Ueno Zoo. Having coffee at the Starbucks here in the afternoon is such a treat!

Sarakurayama Observatory
It's an observatory from which you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Kitakyushu city area. To reach the observatory at the summit of the 622-meter-high mountain, visitors take a cable car and a slope car.
You take two cable cars to reach the top. As one of Japan's new top three night views, it's definitely worth a visit.

Himeji Castle Nishi-Oyashiki-ato Garden KOKO-EN
On the southwest side of Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site, Koko-en is a strolling-style garden around ponds and consists of nine different themed gardens, including the Garden of the Lord’s Residence, on a vast site of approx. 3,300 m2. The Edo period atmosphere draws visitors, and it’s also known as a popular filming location for movies and TV shows, including samurai dramas.
The garden is absolutely beautiful and has a great atmosphere. If you buy the combo ticket with Himeji Castle, it's only JPY 1,050.
