Mitsui Garden Hotel Ueno
A brief 2-minute jaunt away from Ueno Station is where you’ll find Mitsui Garden Hotel Ueno, an uber-easy base with direct access to major Tokyo transit lines plus major destinations like Asakusa and Akihabara.
The area around the hotel is super convenient. There are convenience stores, drugstores, supermarkets, and ramen shops—all nearby.
Tsunan Snow Festival
The Tsunan Snow Festival is held every year in Tsunan Town, the southernmost part of Niigata Prefecture. Known as one of the snowiest regions in the world, this event showcases the beauty and excitement of snow like no other.
The food stalls at the snow festival are fantastic. You can get hot soups and local specialties—perfect for the cold weather.
Majime na Tokeiya KAME-KICHI
In Tokyo's Nakano Ward is a luxury brand watch specialty shop called Kame-Kichi. It enjoys a good reputation as a place where popular brands of watches, such as Rolex and Cartier, can be purchased more cheaply than elsewhere. With a regular lineup of about 3,000 timepieces, this shop is top-class.
Finally got the watch I've been wanting for so long! Nakano is the go-to place for secondhand watches, and the prices are a bit cheaper too. Best part is, the shops here have staff who speak Chinese.
