When people hear Shiseido, they usually think of the well-known skincare and cosmetics brand, but Ginza is also home to the unique Shiseido Parlour, which specializes in elegant desserts and gifts. If you're buying a gift, you can ask the staff to wrap it for free, and the packaging is very lavish and beautiful. There is also a restaurant inside where you can enjoy desserts and dishes in an elegant retro atmosphere. The restaurant is quite popular, so it's best to arrive early to get seated sooner.

It's famous for its Christmas illuminations in winter, when the entire street is lit up with dazzling lights at night, creating a very romantic atmosphere. But visiting during cherry blossom season has its own charm, with cherry trees blooming on both sides and the soft pink sea of flowers complementing the streetscape. When a gentle breeze blows, the petals drift softly to the ground, adding a touch of romance and poetry. Whether you come for the winter lights or the spring cherry blossoms, it's well worth taking a walk here.

I still have a Kyoto Bus One-Day Pass that I bought before. It allowed unlimited hop-on, hop-off travel, making it easy to explore major attractions around Kyoto. It has now been integrated into the “Subway & Bus One-Day Pass,” making transportation even more convenient. Whether you’re viewing cherry blossoms or fall foliage or visiting ancient temples and shrines, it makes planning your itinerary easy. When traveling in Kyoto, this convenient and practical transit pass saves you the trouble of buying individual tickets. Highly recommended.

I used to feel unwell more easily around my period, and I would also feel especially tired. After taking Inochi no Haha White for a while, I feel more stable in general and more comfortable around my period. I now take it regularly as part of my daily wellness routine, along with maintaining a normal schedule and diet. For me, it’s a pretty convenient wellness option.

The 3D cat animation at Shinjuku East Exit is so lifelike that it makes you gasp! The giant cat sometimes pokes its head out and sometimes stretches, looking so vivid that it seems like it could jump out of the screen at any moment. Many passersby stopped to take photos and videos, completely captivated by its cute, lively movements. It was seriously so cute〜

Among the topical steroids sold in Japanese drugstores, those containing fluocinolone acetonide are the most highly ranked anti-inflammatory agents.

This is a topical steroid ointment mainly used to relieve redness, inflammation, and itching caused by eczema and dermatitis. It is also a common skin medication in Japanese households. In my experience, it worked quite well for dyshidrotic eczema. However, since it contains a steroid, it would be more reassuring to consult a doctor before using it.

Rainbow Bridge

“Rainbow Bridge,” an approximately 800-meter-long suspension bridge, is an iconic part of Tokyo architecture that connects Odaiba and Shibaura. At night the bridge is beautifully illuminated, and many people visit it to take pictures of one of Tokyo’s most well-known night views. The bridge has a dual structure: the upper section functions as an Metropolitan expressway, while the lower section is used by a general roadway, the Yurikamome Line, and a walking path.

The famous Tokyo Bay landmark, Rainbow Bridge, spans the bay with its white structure, connecting central Tokyo and Odaiba. It looks magnificent during the day and even more romantic and captivating when illuminated at night. From Odaiba Seaside Park, you can enjoy sweeping views of the bridge and Tokyo Bay. Framing Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Bay, and the Statue of Liberty together also makes for a great composition.

So many cute capsule toys. You can spend quite a while just hunting for treasures inside the store. I can only say I’m really impressed by the Japanese sense of design and creativity.

I was totally drawn into the store by Kuidaore Taro! The store is packed with Osaka-themed merchandise, from cute little items to all kinds of souvenirs, many of which you can only buy here. Even though I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I had a great time just browsing and checking out all the interesting products. If you come to Dotonbori, I recommend stopping in and hunting for treasures.
