Parks & Nature

A short distance from the heart of the city, there are several easy trails to walk around. There's also stunning views of the sunset from the beach if it's a clear sky.

Best chirashi bowl for a very reasonable price. Comes with a tasty noodle salad to start. Sushi rolls are very plain and simple. The wait is typically long, so be prepared to show up early or wait outside.

The best Korean restaurant, with all of the appetizers (especially the pancakes, fish cakes, and sweetened potatoes) to start and reasonably priced entrees. My favorite dishes are spicy BBQ pork and spicy seasoned bar rice cake (with ramen). The place is very cozy and often filled with college students.

If you're free during lunch and are willing to wait in a line, this place has amazing Italian pasta. The choices are different every day, and when they run out that's it. Employees working in downtown are the typical crowd in the queue outside. Order an appetizer and a pasta, then find any available seat (sometimes with other parties) and wait for the experience.
