In the crystal-clear “Kouri Blue” waters, these two natural heart-shaped rocks nestle together as if witnessing eternal love. The white sand, waves lapping against the shore, and heart-shaped rocks create a stunning scene. Every photo looks like a romantic postcard, and quietly watching the waves makes this a truly heart-stirring spot.

Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street
While Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street is affectionately known as "Grandma's Harajuku", in recent years it has been drawing attention as a spot enjoyable for people of all ages and genders. Spanning approximately 780m, the shopping street is home to about 200 stores covering a diverse range of genres, including Japanese sweets, Western sweets, bakeries, tea shops, rice cracker shops, and Buddhist altar accessory shops.
For this trip to Tokyo, we chose to stay near Sugamo Station, where there are relatively fewer tourists. It was very close to the APA Hotel where we were staying, just a few minutes away on foot. Early in the morning, we first went to the nearby Beck’s coffee chain for a hearty and affordable breakfast to recharge for the day ahead.
Then we took a walk to the locally famous Sugamo Jizo-dori Shopping Street. In the morning, the shopping street was full of lively, everyday energy. We wandered through the warm and welcoming little alleys, casually browsing all kinds of small local Japanese shops and getting an up-close look at the everyday lives of Japanese people.
This kind of wandering experience—getting away from the hustle and bustle and slowly settling into the pace of local life—has always been my favorite way to travel. If you enjoy a relaxing stroll, I highly recommend coming here to experience a different side of Tokyo’s old shopping streets.

Atre Shinagawa
This commercial establishment located inside the station has a chic and stylish atmosphere reminiscent of New York. There are shops and restaurants located on the 2nd to 4th floors of the building.
atre Shinagawa is directly connected to the station, making it very convenient to get to. This time, I came specifically to visit Blue Bottle Coffee. I sat in a comfortable seat, leisurely watching the barista carefully hand-pour coffee as the inviting aroma filled the air, and I also picked out a few bags of coffee beans I liked.
The entire shopping center is laid out very comfortably, so it never feels cramped while browsing. In addition to stylish cafés, there’s also a great supermarket where you can stock up on supplies, as well as a food court with plenty of options. For travelers, it not only saves the trouble of going from place to place but also offers both style and practical conveniences. It’s a nice place to slow down and recharge.

Tokyo DisneySea
Tokyo DisneySea is the Tokyo Disney Resort run destination that’s directly connected to Tokyo Disneyland.
This time, I planned a two-day, one-night Disney trip, and for me, it truly was a dream come true. On the first day, I went to the more thrilling Tokyo DisneySea. As soon as I entered the park, the exotic streetscape of the American Waterfront immediately made me feel as if I had stepped into a fairy-tale kingdom.
Besides the fun attractions, the DisneySea-exclusive Duffy and Friends characters were another major highlight. If you collect merchandise, don’t miss the different themed gift shops. By evening, the entire harbor looked incredibly magical against the sunset and lights.
Since I visited DisneySea on the first day, I chose to stay at a nearby hotel. The biggest advantage was being able to keep playing until the park closed and then easily head back to rest. The next day, on the way to Disneyland, I also rode the uniquely designed Disney train. The cars were full of charming details, and even the hand straps were shaped like cute Mickeys, making the ride itself feel like a delightful experience. If you’re planning a trip to Tokyo, I really recommend including a Disney dream trip and fully experiencing that pure fairy-tale magic.
