Kabukicho
Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.
At night, the neon signs are so bright and everywhere—it's like an upgraded version of Mong Kok plus Causeway Bay.
Sightseeing Limited Express "Shimakaze”
The Sightseeing Limited Express "Shimakaze" connects three departure stations in Osaka-Namba, Kyoto, and Nagoya to Kashikojima Station in Mie Prefecture. The train has dedicated attendants on board and offers services based on the theme of "the highest level of comfort". Inside the train you’ll find a wide variety of cabins to match any travel need, including premium seats, Western and Japanese style private rooms, and raised observation decks for taking in the impeccable views.
The seat was insanely comfortable—felt just like flying business class. The leather chair is fully adjustable by electric controls, and there's even a footrest. Even on a long trip, you won't get tired at all.
Starbucks Coffee Toyama Kansui Park
A regional landmark Starbucks store located in Fugan Canal Kansui Park, a lush park of water and greenery that spreads around the Fugan Canal and was selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Historic Parks. The building features a simple, glass-walled design that blends into the park landscape, making the most of the waterside setting as well as Toyama’s nature and the history of the Fugan Canal.
Sipping coffee at an outdoor seat while looking out at the lake was so chill and healing.
