This was a military checkpoint in the Edo period. I don't know much about history, so there wasn't much for me to see.
But it's a nice place for a walk and to pass the time.
I'd recommend it more for people who are interested in Japanese history.

Atami Castle
The castle tower shines brilliantly on the hill of Atami. It's a five-story, nine-story "Tenshukaku (castle tower)”-like tourist facility built in 1959.
I heard this is a 'fake castle' built for tourists,
but since I was in Atami, I figured I might as well check it out.
Turns out it was actually pretty fun, especially if you have kids—they won't be disappointed!
The view over all of Atami is awesome too. Definitely recommend! -

The National Art Center, Tokyo
This museum has no art collection of its own, instead it hosts various exhibitions featuring art from both within Japan and from abroad.
The whole building has a really modern vibe. It's pretty impressive.
