As the route unfolds, the camera lingers on unique highlights like the Ninja Hattori-kun Mechanical Clock—a local attraction based on the famous manga character—and the friendly street cats that define the relaxed, welcoming mood of the town.

A coffee break at COFFEE HOUSE Margaret gives a local flavor to the journey before continuing toward Marunouchi and Himi Fishing Port (氷見漁港).

The walk captures narrow lanes lined with traditional houses and the connection residents have with both the sea and their neighborhood.
