Shinjuku City

🕐️DAY 1: Arrive in Tokyo at night, stay in Shinjuku shopping district Evening: Eat yakitori in Ueno, Tokyo. 【Torikizoku】 restaurant recommended, cheap and delicious, average cost 80+ to eat to your heart's content 🕐️DAY 2: Take a stroll around Shinjuku shopping district Shinjuku is really great for shopping, spent the whole day here, you can find everything from anime IPs, trendy stores, budget malls, to luxury malls all in one place 【Must-buy glasses】Jins glasses for less than 400 yuan (remember to get a coupon from Ctrip Global Shopping, it can be a bit cheaper) 【Drugstore】Lion's acne cream, Silkpeptide yeast, DHC lip balm are much cheaper than on 🍑bao. However, you need to do your research before going, otherwise, you won't know what to buy, there's too much variety. 🕐️DAY 3: Tokyo ➡️ Izu Journey: Take a chartered car to Izu, about a 3-hour drive Attractions: Nirayama Reverberatory Furnace - Shuzenji Note: Japan's attractions are quite small, definitely no need to reserve several hours. There are some art shops near Shuzenji, worth a quick visit Meal: Eel rice Hotel: Stay at 【Akazawa Onsen Hotel】 for 2 nights in Izu, delicious breakfast, can enjoy hot springs, great environment, recommended. Note: When booking the hotel, be sure to choose the option that includes breakfast and dinner, as there are no other restaurants nearby, and it would be inconvenient to go to the hot springs area to eat at a restaurant that accepts walk-in customers if dinner is not included. 🕐️DAY 4: South Izu Attractions: Shirahama Shrine, Sea Torii, Shirahama Beach These attractions are not recommended, you can avoid them, they are all very small, not much to see, and the seaside is very windy and messy, not good for photos 🕐️DAY 5: East Izu Attractions: Omuro Mountain, Cactus Park, these two attractions are very close and suitable to visit together. Omuro Mountain is photogenic, good for taking pictures. When buying tickets for the Cactus Park, show your Omuro Mountain cable car ticket for a discount Journey: Izu ➡️ Tokyo, a 4.5-hour journey, not to be underestimated Hotel: Stay at a hotel near Sensoji Temple 🕐️DAY 6: Tokyo ➡️ Shanghai Morning: Take a walk around Sensoji Temple Noon: Depart for the airport at 11 am, the plane is at 15.55 in the afternoon, head out early to wander around the airport. Afternoon: Fly back to Shanghai, returning to the embrace of the motherland

The highly private yakiniku restaurant with a Google rating of 4.5 stars—Gyuin is definitely a must-eat spot when in Tokyo. If there's one must-try item, it has to be the beef sandwich featured on the cover. The melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu is just indescribable 😭 A single serving costs ¥6000 (HKD300), but it's included in the set meal. Plus, the set meal comes with 12 different dishes, so I recommend ordering the set. When you order the set, you also get the added bonus of a handsome guy grilling the meat for you, so you don't have to worry about overcooking and wasting the beef. This place gets five stars for price, ambiance, service, and taste. If I come back to Tokyo, I'll definitely eat here again!

After nightfall, Tokyo exudes a charm even more captivating than during the day. Neon signs flicker and leap among the skyscrapers, injecting new vitality into the night. Sensoji Temple Most visitors to Tokyo choose to go to Shibuya or Roppongi to experience the rich and colorful nightlife, but for decades, even centuries, Asakusa has been the place where locals go to relax after sunset. Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple, welcomes the last group of visitors praying for blessings at night. After sunset, Sensoji Temple usually lights up until 11 pm. The cherry tree in the temple is just in full bloom. Before going out for a night meal, you can enjoy the unique charm of Sensoji Temple at night. Transportation: Take the Ginza Line, Asakusa Line, or Tobu Railway to get to Asakusa Station. It's a 5-minute walk from the station to Sensoji Temple. Kabukicho Ichibangai Shinjuku's Kabukicho is dazzling with neon lights and bustling with people, one of the most densely populated areas in Tokyo. It is said to be the busiest and most densely populated downtown area in Asia, and possibly the world. When you come to Yasukuni Street, you will see the huge Don Quijote store, which is a landmark of Kabukicho Street. Booking a hotel nearby without knowing the world, you will see a different Japan, not so clean, not so tidy, not so orderly, and even blonde guys coming up to chat. It is not recommended for girls to stay here. However, dining and shopping are still OK, with various restaurants and bars gathered here, the neon-lit nightlife is extraordinarily lively. Transportation: Kabukicho is a 5-minute walk from the JR Shinjuku Station East Exit, and also close to the Fukutoshin Line, Marunouchi Line, and Seibu Shinjuku Line stations. Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho If you want to avoid the crowds for dining, you can turn into the small alleys to find food. Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho are not officially part of Kabukicho, but they are very close by, with many atmospheric small bars and barbecue stalls. Both streets have crisscrossing alleys with a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, just like the mood in Japanese dramas. The festive atmosphere, which is a stark contrast to the metropolis, is like a late-night diner, where each diner has their own story.

We wandered through the vibrant streets, passing by towering skyscrapers, traditional izakayas, and quirky shops.

#cherryblossom2024 In April, Tokyo is enveloped in a cloud of delicate pink sakura petals, and places where you can admire flowers are scattered throughout the city. In the Shinjuku area, it is best to go to Shinjuku Geen Park, which is literally drowned in the foam of petals. Shinjuku Gyoen can be easily reached on foot from Shinjuku, Sendagaya or Shinjuku Gyoen Mae Stations. The closest exit from Shinjuku Station to the park is south-east. From there, you will have to walk no more than ten minutes. The hanami season is usually short and difficult to predict—but not in Shinjuku Gyoen. There are more than 65 species of sakura growing here, so the flowering period seems endless. The first sakura "kanzakura" (winter cherry) begins to bloom — in February. Then, in early April, "somei yoshino" blooms, followed by "baigo—ji juzukakezakura" (cherry from the Baigo-ji temple), and then, at the end of April— sakura "kanzan". There is no such fuss and pandemonium in Shinjuku Gyoen as in other parks. Smoking and alcohol are prohibited, and a small fee is charged for admission, so there is a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere here. The park is good throughout the flowering season, but if possible, it is better to choose the middle of April. Then you can see how sakura "somei yoshino" is already starting to release young green leaves, while everything around is covered with a solid carpet of pink petals.

A wonderful shop that just opened this fall🤎 The sweets and the atmosphere inside the store are wonderful. Perhaps the “right middle” for me is In this warm place different from home, you can forget all your daily worries and fatigue. I thought it would be a great way to spend a comfortable time while enjoying delicious sweets and coffee. Hotdog in a bucket of coleslaw Sausage , carrots and sauerkraut , Cucumbers, fried onions and more. I would eat myself with ketchup and mustard. The sausages were good enough to eat. 4 tables and 3 counters chairs inside the store Two terraces, they are busy. To an acquaintance I ran into Got a full back porch seat in the store, but Finally the shop is open and I ran into Mr. Sinonse Got my seats together. The day I met a lot of people I know. Baked dumplings like carrot cake Apparently, coffee jelly is limited in-store everyday. Because I was curious about other baked goods I want to go again. Location : Shinjuku, Tokyo. #japantrip #cafe #awesomepic #deliciousfood
