You can still catch glimpses of what the Edo period looked like here.

Futatsugame Beach
A beach located right in front of Futatsugame, a scenic spot in Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. With the cliffs of Futatsugame, known for their shape resembling two turtles snuggling together, as a backdrop, you can enjoy swimming in highly transparent waters. The water here is said to be the clearest on Sado and has been selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Swimming Beaches. It has also received a high two-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japon. The beach is equipped with restrooms, separate changing rooms for men and women, and shower rooms.
It doesn’t feel overly commercialized, and it still has that natural, untouched charm. It’s really relaxing.

Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is located by the sea, just a short walk from Yokohama Chinatown. It was opened in March of 1930, reclaiming the waterfront using rubble caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
Super relaxing spot—perfect for a stroll, enjoying the sea breeze, and watching the ships and harbor views. It really has that romantic Yokohama vibe, and it's a great place for a date!

Nagoya Castle
One of the largest castles in Japan, built in the early Edo period on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo shogunate, the five-story castle tower is topped with shining two Kinshachi, one male and one female that has become a symbol of Nagoya.
There's an elevator inside the main keep, which is really considerate for seniors or anyone with mobility issues.
