There are so many books—manga, novels, magazines, and art/design titles are all easy to find. The store is really comfortable, and everything is clearly organized. It’s not just books, either; they also have music, stationery, and merch, so you can take your time browsing for hidden gems.

The later it gets, the livelier it becomes—more vibrant than I expected. Although it was crowded, everything felt pretty orderly and not chaotic. Restaurants, izakayas, and bars stay open late into the night, so it’s super convenient if you want a late-night bite or a drink. You definitely don’t have to worry about finding a place. It had more energy than I imagined.

Chunichi Building

I didn’t expect to find such an amazing free night view in downtown Nagoya. The view from the 7th-floor observation deck is fantastic, and the city lights at night have a really classy feel. Looking out over all of downtown Nagoya from above feels completely different from the daytime.

Both kinds of cookies are pretty good. Most people usually go for the bamboo shoot-shaped one first since the shape is cute and fun, and it’s definitely more popular.

There are quite a lot of bus departures from Haneda Airport. You can get direct service to places like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo Station, and the staff will help with your luggage too. Overall, the service is really good.

Shinjuku is already lively at night, and BUSTA Shinjuku looks even more impressive under the lights. With so many travelers coming and going with their luggage, you can really feel the energy of Tokyo as an international metropolis.

When I passed by Hanazono Shrine, I noticed quite a few tourists and locals stopping in to pay their respects.
It’s really special that a traditional space like this has been preserved in the middle of such a busy downtown area.

Every time I walk by, there’s a huge crowd stopping to take photos. Seeing everyone holding up their phones is pretty wild.
The advertising effect is honestly really successful.

This Apple Store isn’t just about selling products. It feels more like a tech landmark in Shinjuku.
A lot of people go in even if they’re not planning to buy anything, just to enjoy the AC and check out the newly released products.
