Located just a 10-minute walk away from JR Kobe Station, it also has an amusement park complete with a Ferris wheel and other joyrides for children.

Mystic Views of Akarenga Soko

Yokohama, a port city, offers many wonderful retro-modern architectural spots to visit. Akarenga Soko, which stands for beautiful red brick architecture, is one of them and it is located only minutes away from the Landmark Tower in the Minatomirai area. Having Yokohama Bay Bridge on one side and the Landmark Tower on the other, this area is a great place to spend an evening. There are other attractions in walking distance, so there is a lot to do. Munich's world famous beer festival "Oktoberfest" is also held here at Akarenga Soko.

Sony Building, Ginza Tokyo

Sony Building, Ginza

The Sony Building in Ginza is being used by the Sony Corporation to showcase their latest electronic offerings. It used to be just the Walkman brand when I first visited in 1998, then the Bravia television series and lately the Xperia smartphone line. You can enjoy Sony's digital lifestyle in this seven-story exhibition space and there is also a French Restaurant on the first floor. I have been a big fan of the brand and my living room was almost entirely Sony-branded. I still have a lot of faith in the brand, despite the strong competition that it continues to receive from the innovative Apple products.
