When you visit Shibamata, besides strolling the old street, you should definitely stop by Shibamata Taishakuten too.
Passing through the Nitenmon Gate feels like stepping back in time. One of the reasons I love visiting temples in Japan is for these quiet, peaceful moments. Whether you join in the traditional prayer rituals or simply take in the atmosphere, it’s all wonderful.

If you're visiting Tokyo, I highly recommend staying in Asakusa. You can appreciate a different side of Sensoji Temple there.
In the early morning, before the tourists arrive, you can visit and pray at a relaxed pace. At night, after the crowds have gone, it's completely different from the daytime bustle. Sensoji Temple has a quiet, wabi-sabi kind of beauty in the evening. -

This place is great for browsing, especially with the restaurant in B1. It’s different from the Cafe&Meal locations we have in Taiwan.
At the MUJI diner in Ginza, dinner is served as a set meal, with dishes that are both healthy and delicious. Next time you’re in Ginza, definitely consider stopping by MUJI diner for dinner! -

Tsukishima Nishinaka-Dori is basically a whole street dedicated to monjayaki, where you can try this classic Tokyo shitamachi dish.
We visited the famous restaurant Moheji. Seating inside is limited, so if you don’t book ahead, you might not get the chance to try their delicious monjayaki!
We ordered their signature mentaiko mochi monjayaki. It was fun watching the staff cook it, and the amazing aroma kept drifting up from the griddle and making us even hungrier. Every bite was packed with mentaiko, and it turned out to be such a unique dining experience. If you have the chance, I definitely recommend trying monjayaki in Tsukishima during your trip to Tokyo! -
