# Travel Destinations | Japan Voyage Travel - [Seibuen Yuenchi](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/seibuen-yuenchi): Saitama, Theme park. An old Seibu Railway amusement park that reopened in May 2021 as a full Showa-era set piece: a recreated 1960s shopping street with actors as shopkeepers, plus Godzilla and Ultraman motion rides. - [Tottori Sand Museum](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/tottori-sand-museum): Tottori, Museum. Large sand sculptures in an indoor gallery beside the Tottori dunes, with exhibitions rebuilt around changing themes. - [Yagiyama Benyland](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/yagiyama-benyland): Miyagi, Amusement park. Tohoku's long-running city amusement park, open since 1968 on Yagiyama hill next to the zoo. Around thirty rides, four coasters including a double-loop Corkscrew, and most rides are fine from age three. - [Yamato-Koriyama Goldfish Town](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/yamato-koriyama-goldfish-town): Nara, Neighborhood. The old castle town below Koriyama Castle has bred goldfish for about 300 years and still has around 20 farms. Yanagimachi shopping street keeps about 30 goldfish tanks outside its shops, Konyamachi has a canal running down the middle of the street, and every August the National Goldfish Scooping Championship comes to town. All of it is free, and the streets and museums are within 10 minutes' walk of Kintetsu Koriyama. - [Yoshiminedera Temple](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/yoshiminedera-temple): Kyoto, Temple. Yoshiminedera spreads across Kyoto’s western hills, with terraced temple paths, wide city views and the remarkable spreading Yuryu pine. Seasonal flowers reward the climb, but reaching this mountain temple now requires more planning than older bus guides suggest. - [Abe Monju-in](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/abe-monju-in): Nara, Temple. A temple of the Abe clan south of Sakurai Station. The main hall holds a group of five National Treasures by Kaikei, led by a Monju bodhisattva on a lion about 7 m tall and dated 1203. Temple tradition says the onmyoji Abe no Seimei was born here. The grounds, a 7th-century stone tomb you can step into, and the seasonal flower plots are free; the halls cost 700 yen each, or 1,200 yen for both. - [Hagi Castle Ruins](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hagi-castle-ruins): Yamaguchi, Castle. At the foot of Mount Shizuki beside Kikugahama Beach, Hagi’s moats and stone walls mark the former Mori stronghold. The missing keep leaves a spacious park where castle-town history, wooded paths and spring blossoms come together. - [Hirado Castle](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hirado-castle): Nagasaki, Castle. Hirado Castle occupies a sea-facing hill across from the old trading port. Its reconstructed keep provides a wide view of the strait, while the castle grounds connect the Matsura family’s rule with this outward-looking corner of Nagasaki. - [Hotokegaura](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/hotokegaura): Aomori, Landmark. About two kilometres of white and pale green tuff spires on the far west coast of the Shimokita Peninsula. You get there on a small boat from Sai, or down a long flight of steps from a roadside car park, and neither is quick. - [Kashiwajima](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kashiwajima): Kochi, Island. A small island, about 4 kilometers around, tied to the Otsuki Peninsula by two bridges. The water is clear enough that moored boats seem to float in the air, and more than 1,000 fish species have been recorded offshore. - [Kiyoshikojin Seicho-ji Temple](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/kiyoshikojin-seicho-ji-temple): Hyogo, Temple. A climbing shopping street leads to Kiyoshikojin, where Buddhist worship meets devotion to the guardian of fire and the household hearth. The approach and wooded temple grounds make a rewarding walk from the Hankyu Takarazuka line. - [Michi-no-Eki Nanairo Nanae](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-nanairo-nanae): Hokkaido, Michi no eki. A 2018 roadside station on Route 5 just north of Hakodate, about ten minutes by car from Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station. Nanae apples turn up in shakes, soft-serve and juice flights, and the produce corner sells the town's vegetables. - [Michi-no-Eki Park Shichiri Mihama](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-park-shichiri-mihama): Mie, Michi no eki. A Route 42 stop in Mihama, a town that sells itself on having mandarins in every season. Its own juice plant presses local citrus upstairs, and the long pebble beach of Shichiri Mihama is just across the road. - [Michi-no-Eki Saijo Nonta-no-Sakagura](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-saijo-nonta-no-sakagura): Hiroshima, Michi no eki. A sake-brewery-style station beside the Route 2 Saijo Bypass, opened in 2022. Its market stocks sake from ten Higashihiroshima breweries, and a food court and Italian restaurant use local ingredients. - [Michi-no-Eki Tono Kaze-no-Oka](https://travel.japanvoyage.jp/travel_destinations/michi-no-eki-tono-kaze-no-oka): Iwate, Michi no eki. A hilltop station on Route 283 just off the Tono exit of the Kamaishi Expressway, marked by wind turbines and looking over the Tono basin.
