It snowed so it was beautiful and not many tourists around so you can't see footsteps on the snow. You can have the whole place to yourself. Just need to spend 10 minutes to take in the whole scene. more »

This is a tricky walk. The boardwalk is slippery, so do take care. There are plenty of places to step off for coffee and cake or a meal along the way. There was a lot of construction when we went.

They do not seem to know that they are a tourist destination.

Japan has a habit of destroying both it's valuable past and architecturally interesting buildings. Thankfully this area was too poor for redevelopment over the last 100 years and so a few buildings with character survive.
