The flavor is really unique—I fell in love with it after just one try.

Shibamata Taishakuten Sando
Katsushika Shibamata has been chosen by the country itself as one of Japan’s iconic scenic spots. It’s also no exaggeration to say that Shibamata Taishakuten and its approach are iconic parts of Tokyo’s shitamachi (old town) areas that possess striking atmosphere and appearance.
The vibe along this street is super chill. It feels like an old town, but without that overly touristy feel. The street isn't very long, but it's perfect for a slow stroll—grabbing bites and checking out the shops as you go.

Hotel Route-Inn Yokohama Bashamichi
Conveniently located near multiple train lines, including Bashamichi Station on the Minatomirai Line, this hotel is a great base for both business trips and sightseeing in Yokohama.
The room is on the small side, but that’s pretty standard for a Japanese business hotel. It was clean, and having a large public bath was a nice bonus.
Soaking in it after coming back from shopping was super relaxing. -
Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho
A commercial facility in a historic area where the samurai of the Tokugawa family made their residence in the Edo period. From the first floor to the fourth floor are shops and restaurants full of personality. The “Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho” is located on the 30th to 36th floors. The others are offices.
The blend of public art and the mix of old and new architecture, plus the spacious event areas, make this a fantastic spot 👍
