At Selective Asia it is probably our favourite city in Japan. Soak it up and breathe it in. Giant, mechanical models look down on you as you pass: a puffer fish, a mechanical clown, and perhaps most famously an arm-waving crab. This year-old district is a gastronomic playground; follow your nose between street food stalls, and head straight for the takoyaki vendor with the longest line. Amidst it all, an enticing aroma fills the air.
A lovely place to spend a casual couple of hours. Wander along the ancient trails of Kumano Kodo and its spiritual shrines, enjoying the peaceful, and enchanting surroundings as well as taking in the hospitality of local families along the way.
