My 2nd favourite Ramen Shop, the Chashu is not as good as Ramengers but the soups and noodles and gyoza are really tasty. My favourite is the Tori Shio (beautiful chicken breast with a bit of spinach, green onion, corn, bamboo shoots) or the Aka Oni very spicy with minced pork. They have minced garlic to add as a condiment.

Voted one of the best parks in the world. The Aquarium is there, great to bike around the seawall. (Very Touristy and very busy on weekends) There are lots of playgrounds around the park and an awesome water park in the summer. 2nd beach pool right on the beach is one of the most beautiful spots. Good for beaches, playgrounds, swimming, aquarium, outdoor pool.
