The first thing that greets you (provided you came by bus or train) is this majestic wooden gate.
You will also see a very funky display. Yes, it shows the time. But it alternates between the time, date and some other stuff. If you look closely, the display itself is a fountain! How cool is that.
Electronically illustrated bus maps
Speaking of cool stuff, here's a bus map with an electronic display that actually illustrates where the bus is, and how long it will take for the bus to arrive at the current location. If only all bus maps could be like this.
Chaya district
A beautifully preserved part of town boasting traditional style buildings that have probably survived for centuries.
"Chaya" means "tea house", a place where guests would have tea.
Not just any tea, mind you.
This is tea, handpicked by little forest people once every full moon, dried under the solar eclipse, boiled with morning dew, and served in an age old tradition by little Japanese porcelain dolls.
This is not just tea, this is very expensive tea.
Needless to say, I did not have tea there.
I did, however, have charred bamboo ice-cream. How did it taste? Just like vanilla.
21st Century Museum
A collection of modern art pieces housed in an interestingly designed circular building.

| Amazing underwater pool. Check this out on youtube. It's more exciting there than it is in real life. |
