When you’re in Marunouchi, Tokyo, don’t miss KITTE Marunouchi! Besides all the shops and restaurants, the most pleasant surprise is the view of Tokyo Station from the windows.

Looking out from the garden, the entire red-brick Tokyo Station comes into view. Set against the surrounding high-rises, the mix of traditional and modern architecture is truly beautiful.

Especially when looking down from the upper floors, you get a very different perspective of Tokyo Station, and the whole scene really has that Tokyo city feel. Seeing this view made the visit feel very worthwhile. The next time I come to Tokyo, I’d like to return and see how it looks at a different time of day!

Jingisukan Anbe

A jingisukan specialty restaurant with over 70 years of history, located just across the Hayase River from JR Tono Station. Jingisukan is often closely associated with Hokkaido, but it’s also popular in Tono, Iwate Prefecture. Per-capita lamb consumption here rivals Hokkaido. Known as the originator of “Tono Jingisukan,” this is a beloved spot that draws visitors day after day.

The lamb was grilled until lightly charred and fragrant on the outside, while the meat stayed tender. It was very moreish with the special sauce and didn’t have nearly as strong a gamey lamb smell as I had imagined. Grilling it with onions added their sweet vegetable aroma and gave the overall flavor more depth.

It was my first time trying Jingisukan barbecue, and it felt very characteristic of Hokkaido. Grilling the meat myself while enjoying it piping hot was fun, and the atmosphere was pretty good too! It’s definitely worth planning a meal to try it when traveling in Hokkaido!

While shopping in Ginza, I stopped by EXITMELSA. There are quite a few clothing brands inside, so you can browse them all in one place! You don’t have to keep running around outside and can take your time comparing the styles and designs of different brands.

There’s a wide selection of clothing, from everyday outfits to more distinctive pieces, making it fun to browse. If you enjoy shopping, it’s a great place to add to your Ginza itinerary!
The University of Tokyo Akamon

Akamon is a red gate located at the University of Tokyo’s Hongo Campus. Although there are historical structures everywhere inside this campus, Akamon is known as a symbol of the University.

The University of Tokyo—the first thing that caught my eye was the historic Akamon! The vermilion gate really stands out, and together with the classical architecture, walking around the campus truly feels both solemn and full of academic atmosphere!

The University of Tokyo is one of Japan's most prestigious universities, and you can feel its strong academic atmosphere everywhere on campus. I came specifically to see the famous Akamon this time, making it another unique spot to check off while traveling in Tokyo!
