A few days ago, I visited HANA-BIYORI next to Yomiuriland with friends. The colorful flowers and lush plants instantly put me in a great mood.

A few days ago, I had the chance to visit Ueno and saw the special exhibition at the Tokyo National Museum—'The Eleven-Headed Kannon of Shorinji Temple: The Buddha of Mt. Miwa Faith,' which was shown in Tokyo for the first time. The wooden Buddhist statues on display are all national treasures of Japan, and it's really rare to see them. Because of the pandemic, though, there weren't many visitors, so it felt a bit quiet.

Shinjuku Suehiro-tei

Also called an entertainment hall, Suehiro-tei is an auditorium for traditional Japanese performances such as Rakugo and Manzai, as well as lectures. Sense the history in this wooden structure, where many paper lanterns highlight the names of performers.

You can really feel the Japanese vibe just from the wooden exterior. You get to sit on tatami mats and watch traditional performances up close, like Rakugo, Manzai, and storytelling. I heard they also have modern shows and comedy acts that younger people enjoy.
Even though I didn't understand everything, the performers' funny expressions and gestures had me laughing the whole time.
After the show, you can buy some cute, traditional Japanese souvenirs. Highly recommend experiencing this bit of Japanese culture!
