After strolling through the Kichijoji shopping street, heading into the park made for a perfect day.

Ginza Mitsukoshi
Ginza is famous for its highly ranked shopping area. Ginza Mitsukoshi is centrally located and also a representative department with a long history in Japan.
On my first trip to Ginza, I was immediately drawn in by the exterior of Ginza Mitsukoshi. It looks grand and stylish, and even just taking photos at the entrance gives you that upscale Tokyo shopping district vibe.

Takenoko no Sato
Takenoko no Sato is one of the signature products of Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji). Following the huge success of its sister product Kinoko no Yama, it was developed as the second product in the series with a completely different concept. Since its launch in 1979, it has remained a long-selling favorite with a history of more than 45 years.
When you see bamboo shoot-shaped cookies at a convenience store in Japan, it’s really hard not to buy them. The classic combo of cookies and chocolate has a timeless appeal, and it’s easy to see why they’ve been a favorite for so long.

Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park
Scattered throughout the park are places where the spirit of Tove Jansson lives on. A fairy-tale writer from Northern Europe, she created the world-famous Moomin character. This park is full of cute buildings and natural spaces for visitors to enjoy.
It's so beautiful, it's hard to believe this park is free. You can even go inside the cute little houses and really immerse yourself in the charming world of the Moomins.
