There's a café renovated from a Shinto priest's lodging in the site for two shrines and one temple. Temple and shrine carpenters colored the inside that makes us to be in a shrine. Let's take a rest with a cup of coffee.

Designed by a French architecture, Le Corbusier, it's 'a museum growing limitlessly'. There're many easy-understandable arts of Western collections for the permanent exhibitions, you can enjoy arts without difficulty.◎Access: just near the Koen-guchi (Park Gate) of Ueno Station. You can appreciate the popular Monet's great art 'Nymphéas (Water Lily)'. I think visiting from noon is more better.

A little isolated cottage from a town of Chichi-jima Island. If it's sunny, there're innumerable stars in the sky! It was a perfect inn to enjoy nature in Ogasawara. You can rent a car in low price to go out leisurely.◎You need to confirm the pick-up bus because it's located a far from the port.
