There's this cat that pops up on the big screen at the intersection heading toward Kabukicho from the East Exit of Shinjuku Station. It's a calico, which is a classic Japanese cat, and it's super cute! When I saw it, the cat was happily purring, but other times I've seen it playing around, knocking over cups and stuff for fun. Waiting at the crosswalk is way more enjoyable now.

A beautifully designed art museum that has won numerous architectural awards. Its concept centers on encounters and learning, and one of its distinctive features is that the layout can be changed using curtains and movable shelves.
Be aware that it is closed on Tuesdays.
Also, the curry and chai at the curry shop very close to the museum are excellent, so it might be worth stopping by. -

You can get really close to the birds and actually interact with them. It feels like you’re stepping into the birds’ home as a guest.
The flowers are beautifully in bloom too, and there are tons of photo-worthy spots! When I visited, the lotus flowers were blooming and they were gorgeous.
I was especially moved to see a shoebill—famous for barely moving—actually walking around. -

I go to the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery a lot because I really like the exhibition themes and the way everything is curated.
Another nice perk is that with an exhibition ticket, you can also see the permanent collection and the feature corner for emerging artists.
It also seems that if you show your ticket, some of the restaurants in Opera City offer discounts or other deals.
