Meiji Jingu Shrine | Review by Linda Liao

Strolling along the tree-lined avenue, you'll find boutiques, select shops, and distinctive cafes on both sides. It's stylish and feels very Tokyo. Around the middle of Omotesando, you can stop by Omotesando Hills, designed by Tadao Ando. The building itself is a major highlight, with a soaring central atrium and spiral ramps that make browsing feel very design-focused. Inside, you'll find Japanese designer brands, international luxury boutiques, lifestyle shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a good place to browse slowly and hunt for finds. Afterward, head into the surrounding side streets to look for hidden shops and cafes and experience the most charming side of everyday life in Omotesando.

It has a strong Hollywood atmosphere, with all kinds of snack shops, restaurants, and unique gift shops lining both sides of the street. It's fun to browse as you walk around. It's also open later than expected, so after leaving the park, you can come back to shop, grab something to eat, or buy souvenirs. The streets look even better in photos at night with all the lights. It's a great way to end a day at Universal Studios—take a leisurely stroll before heading back to your hotel.

You can't go wrong with MARION CREPES when you're craving a crepe! The dazzling selection is almost overwhelming, and every flavor looks so tempting that it's incredibly hard to choose. In the end, I went back to a classic and chose the chocolate banana flavor. The crisp yet soft crepe wraps around sweet bananas, topped with rich chocolate sauce and a huge mound of whipped cream. The richness of the chocolate, the gentle sweetness of the banana, and the smooth cream come together in every bite for a blissfully indulgent combination!
