🚍 Another way for beginners who are visiting Japan for the first time! Afraid of getting on the wrong train, getting lost, or carrying a lot of luggage is inconvenient. We recommend this way to get into Tokyo. 🤗 🛬 We got off at NRT Terminal 1. After passing through immigration, look for the "Bus Tickets" sign. There will be a ticket machine. You can press to buy tickets at the front of the machine. We chose the orange one. 🧡 There will be the word "Limousine". Choose to search for the station / bus time and pay. You can use both cards and cash. 🚌 Once you get the ticket, look for the "Bus Stop" and your seat. It's all listed on the slip. Go wait for the bus. The bus is very punctual. There will be staff to help carry your bags up and down. This is great!! You can sit and enjoy the view for a long time. 💰Price: 3,600 yen (8xx.-) It also depends on the destination. We got off at Shinjuku Station. #Japan #TravelJapanByYourself #Tokyo #TravelAbroad #TravelPlanShare

Who would have thought that a late night walk will get me to one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! 🏮Hanazono Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine placed in the heart of the city! A perfect place for your mind to slow down a little. It is dedicated to Inari, the deity of business prosperity, fertility, and success. So fingers crossed ☺️ The shrine is beautifully lit at night, making it a great spot for an evening visit so don’t be scared to walk in by yourself! 🥟 Hungry? No problem! Stop Nikujiru Gyoza no Dandadan Mei. They are open from 11:30 AM to 3:00 AM, and they serve hot gyoza with an amazing flavor. Don’t feel like eating by yourself at the spot? They offer takeout! 🍹 Bar Stone for Hip Hop Music lovers! I found it totally randomly, have heard the music and decided to walk in. Let me tell you, what a vibe! If you love 90s rap music this is place for you. Staff talks a bit in English. Drinks are decent. I came back at least three times during my week stay. Here’s the address: 📍 〒169-0073, 東京都新宿区, 百人町1丁目22-26 シラハマビル一階 Have fun in Tokyo! #tokyostroll #tokyo

📍Address: 3 Chome-1-22 Shinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0022 Japan 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: Small but clean shop 📍Key Points There are separate menus for takeout and for dining in the café-like space inside! So if you want to eat in, you should order from the café menu, haha. They also have shaved ice and tea, haha. We didn't know and bought from the takeout menu, so we just ate outside, haha. I usually don't like dango, but this one was delicious. It's not insanely sweet, just the right amount of sweetness! I recommend it to those who haven't tried dango before! 📍Average Price per Person: 2,000-3,000 KRW 📍Rating: 3.5-4/5

Anyone who visits Tokyo will definitely not miss going to Shinjuku to shop for various products. However, few people will notice the small gimmick of Shinjuku, which is the big Godzilla. We can meet Godzilla at the Gracery Shinjuku Hotel building and can take pictures from a distance. For those who are fans of Godzilla and want to take pictures up close, you can go up to the cafe on the 8th floor of the hotel to have delicious drinks and snacks and take pictures of Godzilla up close. #TokyoTravel #100TravelTips

//𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐮 𝐍𝐢𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐚// ꧁ Wagyu Sukiyaki Set ꧂ ° ° ° The main purpose of this flash mob in Tokyo is shopping and eating. We went directly from the airport to our first stop, Shinjuku. We chose a hotel in the busy area of ​​Shinjuku. After arriving at the hotel and dropping off our luggage, we went to a Sukiyaki restaurant near the hotel for dinner at 11pm. A retro old shop, with waiters in kimonos, we ordered a medium-priced set meal, less than HKD 300, and ate black-haired wagyu beef, vegetables, rice and miso soup. The beef was not top-grade, but it tasted good, and it was very cost-effective. ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧📍 1 Chome-14-3 Kabukicho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0021 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 🕘 12:00-02:00 (Monday to Sunday) ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ ■ □ #mocha_n_love_travel #mocha_n_love_japan #mocha_n_love_tokyo #日本旅行 #东京旅行 #全球旅行

Tokyo, Japan us know for amazing night life, buzzing city street & bright lights on modern sky scrapers. 📍 Omoide Yokocho, a popular tourist spot, is a maze of narrow alleyways on the West Exit of Shinjuku Station. It has a unique atmosphere, which is in stark contrast to modern Shinjuku. Also known as Memory Lane, Omoide Yokocho is has packed with Japanese historic eateries and buzzing with energy. Eating at skewers at small stalls or indulge in Japanese cuisine while hanging out with family & friends at alley way is definitely a different experience.

This hotel in Shinjuku has a beautiful view. Shinjuku is one of the busiest areas in Japan, and the view from the hotel here is great, beautiful, and spacious. You can shop right below, and there are some drugstores where you can buy things. It’s not far from the station, so it’s very convenient to go shopping and eat. It’s in a very good location. In addition to checking in, I can also go to some nice places here, and I can see the cute Godzilla next to it, which is very cute. If you have a chance, look for this hotel in Shinjuku.

In the heart of Tokyo’s electric Shinjuku district, look up, and you might spot something roaring above the rooftops. The famous Godzilla Head towers from the 8th floor of the Hotel Gracery, peering over Kabukicho with a mischievous snarl. This tribute to Japan’s most iconic monster is not just for show: it occasionally lights up, roars, and even breathes smoke! Around it, Shinjuku buzzes with life, neon lights, arcades, izakayas, and the kind of energy only Tokyo can offer. Whether you're a movie fan or just hunting unique views, Godzilla is a fun and unexpected surprise in the skyline. Tips for Visitors: - Best view from street level on Kabukicho Ichiban-gai or by visiting the Hotel Gracery’s Godzilla Terrace (8th floor). - The head roars and lights up at regular intervals during the day and night. - At night, Shinjuku turns into a neon wonderland—great spot for street photography. - Combine with nearby attractions like Omoide Yokocho, Golden Gai, or a karaoke session. #shinjuku

#cherryblossom25 Dining at Tempura Shinjuku Tsunahachi Souhonten was a delightful immersion into Japan's culinary heritage. Established in 1923, this historic restaurant near Shinjuku Station offers a traditional ambiance with its wooden interiors and counter seating . I opted for the Edomae Set, featuring a selection of tempura including sweet shrimp, squid, seasonal seafood, and conger eel, accompanied by rice, miso soup, and pickles . Each piece was expertly fried in premium sesame oil, resulting in a light and crispy texture without greasiness . The attentive service and authentic flavors made this meal a memorable highlight of my Tokyo

#Spring0yenTrip Shinjuku is one of Tokyo's most famous downtown areas, and is bustling with people day and night. The first place we visited was the west exit area of ​​Shinjuku Station. This area is lined with high-rise buildings, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, and is the center of business. On the other hand, when we exited the east exit of the station, long-established department stores such as Isetan and Marui were lined up, and it was full of people enjoying shopping. Kabukicho near the east exit was also known as one of the largest entertainment districts in Japan, and was home to a wide variety of restaurants and entertainment facilities. Furthermore, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden had a vast green space that made us forget the hustle and bustle of the city, and we could enjoy nature in all four seasons. Shinjuku was a city with a variety of charms, combining business, shopping, entertainment, and nature.
