We walked to the confuscious temple and gardens a few blocks from the pier. We then walked down -kokusai-dori street. 20 min walk and tried the purple sweet potato that is acclaimed to be super healthy and why people live longer here. We totally enjoyed sauntering along and enjoying the pleasant ambience.
