Extremely welcoming port, with a small-town feel. The weather was poor the day we visited, but the locals still set up a reception area at the pier for us, with a craft market and food trucks with the local specialty ramen to try. We liked the red truck best, the one with the shrimp wonton ramen. Delicious on a cool, windy, and rainy day. There were even tents with tables set up to eat. They gave us a great send-off, probably our favorite of the trip, with lots of dancers and performers, even in the poor weather. We visited Kamo Aquarium on our tour, which has an impressive collection of jellyfish. The drive along the coast to reach the aquarium was also scenic. After the aquarium, we also stopped at a local park, which was having a small cherry blossom festival at the time, with food vendors. Cute place but not super memorable. We also visited the vintage rice warehouses, which are picturesque but not super exciting, in my opinion. There was a nice shop there with lots of local products, though.
