📌Tokyo Oden Love Store Shibuya 5F Japan 〒150-0043 Tokyo, Shibuya, Dogenzaka, 1 Chome−5−9 Shibuya Oden The Renga, 5F Oden bar with a yatai (food stall) feel! There are Japanese and English menus, and when you first go in, they ask you if you've been here before. If you say no (ないです, no), they'll probably hand you an English menu! Since it's in Shibuya, there are probably people hunting around, and if you can speak Japanese, you'll be able to easily have fun stories with people who don't know! When I went, there was a half-Korean-Japanese person next to me who explained it to me in Korean! If you go to Shibuya, you must visit 💛 If the 5th floor is full, guide them to the 7th floor, or go straight to the 7th floor after 8pm!!!🫶🏻 📌📌渋谷よこちょ Japan 〒150-0001 Tokyo, Shibuya, Jingumae, 6 Chome−20−10 South 1F RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK When you go to Shibuya, I recommend you visit ‘Yokocho’!! You can experience traditional Japanese sensibility and delicious beer! I remember drinking almost 5 glasses of draft beer.. There is a bathroom inside and it is clean, so it would be good for women! In fact, there are many yakitori on the Japanese evening menu.. The food is just so-so, but it would be great for travelers to enjoy the atmosphere!! 📌📌📌うおきん Japan 〒105-0004 Tokyo, Minato City, Shinbashi, 3 Chome−8−6 ルー・ラシエルBUILDINGS 36 1・2F Uokin has various branches in Ginza! I went to Tokyo once a month and this is a sashimi restaurant that I always go to! I usually only go to yakitori for dinner at Japanese restaurants! You should definitely go here for sashimi! The sashimi menu for two people is not very large, but it's just right, and there are a lot of fried foods and soups, so be sure to ask the staff if they have any おすすめ (recommended foods)! It'll probably be crowded during dinner time, so I recommend making a reservation on Google and going! It's comfortable to bring anyone, and it has a luxurious feel, so I wanted to keep it to myself, but I'm introducing it, so please go and visit ♥ ‼️The last one is a restaurant, hotel, etc. that I visited while traveling around Tokyo, so I'll introduce it slowly! (The red dots are the places I've been) So if you're curious, please take a look anytime. I'm a Tokyo smartie‼️ #TokyoTravel #TokyoRestaurant #ShibuyaIzakaya #GinzaSashimi #TokyoSashimi #LocalRestaurant #TokyoBar #ShibuyaBar

One day of shopping in Shibuya, I feel a bit tired Shibuya is still very easy to visit. It’s only 5 stops away from Shinagawa Station on the JY Yamanote Line. Coming out of Exit A8 is the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko. There will be an old man helping to take photos for free (you need to queue up) I saw a crossroads with a lot of people I ate the Ichiran ramen that I had missed for a long time. Now you can pay with wx or zfb on your mobile phone. It is very convenient. I finally had the matcha almond tofu that I had been missing for a long time. It still tastes the same. After eating, we went straight to Lelabo in Parco. The store is very small. I bought the Tokyo limited edition 10. 100ml is about 69,000, and you can get a tax refund directly. I visited the flagship stores of Pokémon, Nintendo, Capcom, and JUMP. There were many new things and I bought a lot. I will continue to Akihabara tomorrow.

Accommodation: Dormy Inn Akihabara 📍 4-12-5 Sotokanda Chiyoda-ku Tokyo ✴️ Must do West Side if tokyo - Shibuya with Hachiko statue - Harajuku and Meiji Shrine - omotedando with Takeshita Dori - Shinjuku (piss alley ++) ✴️ must do East Side of Tokyo - asakusa: check the sensoji temple and the beautiful nakamise dori street - ueno Park (if you want some nature away from the busy streets) - Akihabara neighbourhood: check out the big anime and manga shops ✴️ others recommended - Imperial Palace (they only allow the first 70 people and it's open twice a day. One visit in the morning and one in the afternoon. If you plan to visit, make sure to check the official website the day before and to prepare ahead of time to queue and be able to get in as they won't allow 71st and up) #tokyotrip #tokyo #asakusa #japan

#timetotravel #trip #mysgmemories ##Latinalovingjapan Japan is is definitely a gem ! I though after living few years in Shenzhen, China, and visited some other Asian countries , I have seen enough, how wrong I was! Japan prove me wrong . Their Culture is unique , people’s education blow my mind away . I have seen beautiful landscapes, combine modern with traditional and it felt like a dream. Definitely recommended to anyone who likes traveling and get sweet memories, Japan but be on your list . I visited : Tokyo , Osaka , Kyoto and stunning Mount Fuji . Best memory in Tokyo to touch Hachiko monument ( has a great value personally) located in the city center , say to find out follow the directions written everywhere around. Mount Fuji is more that you can expect, sub-real , impotent . To get there I have used the 7 day pass half way last tram is run by a special line to the pagoda but wasn’t a big deal payment . Osaka best place for video games and snacks every step you take you would like to grab a new snack and believe me , all are great ! Kyoto is traditional Japan , temples , history , narrow streets, geishas , a treasure. Every city I visited was unique , different from the other , that make me feel I visited different country’s in one place. Go and explore by yourself to feel the magic of Japan and it’s people . You will not regret it 🤩

It was my first time visiting Tokyo, and I wanted my family to experience its energy, culture, and a touch of magic. From the world’s busiest crossing to quiet shrines, and even a day of wizarding wonders, Tokyo left us with unforgettable memories. Day 1 – Shibuya Crossing & First Impressions We landed in Tokyo and wasted no time heading straight to Shibuya. Standing at the famous Shibuya Scramble Crossing, we were swept into a sea of people moving in every direction — it felt like the heartbeat of Tokyo. We also stopped by Hachiko Statue 🐕, the loyal dog, which was especially touching for the kids. Dinner was at a local izakaya where we tried yakitori and ramen — simple, hearty, and delicious. Day 2 – Kamakura & Enoshima Day Trip To balance the city energy, we ventured out to Kamakura, a coastal town known for its serene atmosphere. The highlight was the Great Buddha of Kamakura (Daibutsu) — standing tall and calm under the sky. Afterwards, we hopped over to Enoshima Island, walking along its charming streets filled with seafood stalls. The sea breeze, temple visits, and island views gave us a refreshing contrast to Tokyo’s buzz. Day 3 – A Magical Day at Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo (Harry Potter) This was one of the most exciting days, especially for the younger ones! We spent a whole day at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour Tokyo – The Making of Harry Potter ⚡️. Walking through Diagon Alley, stepping inside the Great Hall, and sipping on butterbeer made it feel like we had been transported into the wizarding world. Even those of us who weren’t hardcore fans found it magical. #travel#familytravel

This year marks my first trip to Japan during the cherry blossom season. I've always wanted to travel during this time, but the airfare was usually prohibitively expensive. This time, I managed to snag a last-minute deal with Scoot Airlines for a round-trip ticket from Taipei to Tokyo for just 8,900 TWD. If you find cherry blossom season tickets under 10,000 TWD, don't hesitate—grab them immediately! Within a month, I booked my flight, reserved accommodations, confirmed insurance, and even finalized my itinerary. I feel so efficient! 👍🏻 This is also my first solo trip. I wanted to savor the beauty of each destination, let go of daily worries, and engage in self-reflection throughout the journey. Slowing down helped me relieve stress and tension, and I didn’t have to match anyone else's pace. If I felt tired, I could simply return to the hotel to rest. Traveling with friends has its group dynamics and fun, but solo travel offers a unique sense of healing. 🌟 Travel Goals: Cherry blossom viewing, including night sakura 🌸 🌟 Departure Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 🌟 Return Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025 🗓️ Itinerary: (Cherry blossom-related activities are marked with a 🌸 icon!) 2025.03.27 Day 3: 1.-4.

The Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba was especially impressive, being the size of a real Gundam! I highly recommend everyone visit Tokyo at least once! #OverseasTravel #TokyoTravel #Japan #Tokyo

Address: Shibuya: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Harajuku: Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (about 15–20 minutes on foot between the two) Atmosphere/Facilities: Shibuya is Tokyo’s most iconic young commercial and entertainment hub, home to the world-famous “Shibuya Crossing” and the Shibuya 109 shopping center, among other fashion landmarks. Harajuku is the gathering place for unique trends and street culture, showcasing a completely different youthful vibe from the colorful, girly style of Takeshita Street to the upscale fashion avenue of Omotesando. Both areas are well-equipped, with convenient shopping, dining, photo spots, and transportation, plus numerous cafes, drugstores, and Japanese trendy brands. Average Spending: Dining around ¥1,000–3,000 / Shopping varies by brand, from ¥1,000 accessories to ¥30,000 luxury items Highlights: • Shibuya Crossing is a globally renowned “urban landmark,” stunningly lit by neon at night • Takeshita Street in Harajuku gathers various subcultures and cute shops, the birthplace of girly culture • Omotesando blends luxury boutiques with modern architecture, a prime spot for photos and shopping • A variety of delicious foods concentrated here: from crepes, curry rice, fluffy pancakes to Starbucks’ sky garden Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) — Tokyo’s most colorful cultural crossroads, endlessly explorative and full of style! ⸻ 🏙️ Personal Reflection | Shibuya and Harajuku: The heartbeat of Tokyo, so youthful you never want to leave When it comes to Tokyo, some love its history and old charm, others are enchanted by its nature and tranquility, but for me, what always captivates my soul is the vibrant duo of “Shibuya × Harajuku.” I started from JR Harajuku Station, stepping out right onto Takeshita Street. It’s a street always bustling with voices, as colorful as a candy world. Whether it’s girls dressed in Gothic Lolita or Korean trendy guys holding selfie sticks, everyone naturally belongs to this free-spirited street. I bought a strawberry fresh cream crepe and ate it standing among the crowd, feeling no awkwardness at all, as if this place exists for everyone to “be themselves.” Walking along Omotesando toward Shibuya, the atmosphere begins to shift. From cute and quirky to elegant and refined, flagship stores like GUCCI and PRADA showcase design beauty, each building itself a work of art. I sat down in a quiet Nordic-style café, ordered a hand-brewed coffee and a cheese tart, and as the sunlight poured in, time seemed to stand still, with only the city’s whispers to be heard. Arriving in Shibuya, the pace suddenly quickens. What amazed me most was standing on the pedestrian bridge above Shibuya Station, watching hundreds of people cross the “Shibuya Crossing” at once. It’s not chaos but a perfect symphony of the city’s rhythm. By day, it’s a scene where travelers and office workers intersect; by night, it becomes a mesmerizing picture of neon lights and crowds. I entered Shibuya 109, a treasure trove of fashion inspiration for young people. Whether you like Korean style, streetwear, vintage, or sweet and spicy looks, you can find it all here. I picked out a pair of earrings at a niche accessory shop, and the sales clerk complimented my styling in fluent English. In that moment, I truly felt like part of Tokyo’s street scene. The biggest surprise was discovering a Starbucks next to Shibuya Station on a high floor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the crossing at night. I ordered a matcha latte, sat by the window, and watched the thousands of people below, each with their own story, each light illuminating a life. Such a Tokyo night is both quiet and lively. This stroll through Shibuya × Harajuku, for me, was more than just shopping or taking photos; it was a rediscovery of youth, creativity, and the spirit of freedom. It’s not simply a “young people’s district,” but a symbol of a city attitude that fears no style and embraces difference.

Sky is not only expensive but also difficult to book. In fact, there are many shopping malls around Shibuya where you can enjoy the view of Shibuya Crossing from the upper floors. The shooting location of Figure 1 is on the 12th floor of Scramble Square. There are few people and chairs for resting. However, there is a little bit of reflection, so the light needs to be dimmed when shooting. Another thing you can't miss when you come to Shibuya is the Hachiko bus. The bus driver will announce the stops manually in a low-pitched bubble voice, and the fare is only 100 yen. The second thing you can't miss is the Yellow Omurice, where you'll have to queue up for ages every day. It opens at 11 a.m., so you can arrive ten or twenty minutes in advance. On weekdays, you'll have to queue for about half an hour to get in. But I personally feel the taste is just average.

Shibuya, Tokyo, a place full of energy and surprises. Today's one-day trip made me deeply feel the charm of this city. From the bustling scramble crossing to the Hachiko Statue full of stories, every moment is unforgettable. Here is my timeline of a day in Shibuya, taking you to experience the unique charm of this city! 9:00 AM: Arrive in Shibuya, amazed by the crowd at the scramble crossing Taking the Yamanote Line from Shinjuku Station, it only took 10 minutes to reach Shibuya Station. As soon as I exited the station, the scene in front of me stunned me—the crowd at Shibuya Scramble Crossing surged like a tide, with people from all directions weaving into a dynamic urban picture. This place is known as the "busiest crossing in the world," and every time the green light turns on, hundreds of people cross simultaneously, creating a breathtaking spectacle. I stood by the crossing, feeling the pulse of the city, as if I had become part of this picture. 11:00 AM: Explore Shibuya 109, feel the fashion trends After leaving the scramble crossing, I went to the famous "Shibuya 109" shopping center. This building is not only a shopping paradise but also a fashion trendsetter. From the basement to the eighth floor, each level is filled with various fashion brands and specialty shops. I picked out a few unique pieces of clothing here and felt the unique fashion charm of Shibuya. The history of Shibuya 109 dates back to 1979, and it has been a symbol of youth culture for many years. Walking here, you can feel the pulse of Tokyo fashion. 1:00 PM: Hachiko Statue, feel the warmth of humanity After lunch, I went to Shibuya's iconic attraction—the Hachiko Statue. This statue is not only a symbol of Shibuya but also an expression of loyalty and love. Standing in front of the statue, I couldn't help but think of Hachiko's story: this loyal dog waited for his owner at the station every day, even after his owner passed away, for nine years. This story filled my heart with warmth and made me cherish the people and emotions around me even more. This place is not only a popular photo spot but also a place where one can feel the warmth of humanity. 4:00 PM: Stroll along Dogenzaka, feel the street art and creativity After leaving the Hachiko Statue, I strolled to Dogenzaka. This street is full of creative street art and unique architectural styles, making one feel the vibrancy and innovation of Shibuya. There are many specialty shops and cafes along the way. I casually walked into a cafe, ordered a latte, and quietly watched the passersby outside the window, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Shibuya is not only synonymous with bustling but also has such relaxing corners. 6:00 PM: Shibuya Sky, overlooking the Tokyo night view In the evening, I went to Shibuya's sky observation deck "Shibuya Sky." From here, you can overlook the entire Shibuya, with the city's lights twinkling like stars, incredibly beautiful. Standing on the observation deck, I felt the infinite charm and vitality of Tokyo. This is not only a great place for viewing but also an excellent place to relax and enjoy the moment. As night falls, Shibuya's night view is mesmerizing, as if time stands still at this moment. 8:00 PM: End of the journey A day in Shibuya is coming to an end, and my heart is full of reluctance and emotion. Shibuya is not only a vibrant city but also a place where one can feel the warmth of humanity. Every corner here is full of stories and emotions, making people linger. If you have the chance to come to Tokyo, don't miss this charming place. Transportation: Take the Yamanote Line from Shinjuku Station to Shibuya Station, about 10 minutes. Business hours: Shibuya 109 shopping center 10:00-21:00, Shibuya Sky 10:00-22:30.

#JapanFlightEvent 📍Omoide Yokocho 1 Chome-2 Nishishinjuku, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-1 Omoide Yokocho, the hottest hot place these days! If you like the unique red-light district atmosphere of Japan, this is highly recommended! In some ways, it's similar to Hong Kong, but the atmosphere of Japan's pub streets is really different! I wanted to go to the bars in Omoide Yokocho, but it was too narrow and the yakitori smoke was too strong, so it was hard to eat anything, so I just walked around and looked around! After eating Treats ice cream that I ate during the day, I took a walk And finished it off neatly with beer! Ah! To finish it off! 📍📍Treats １０RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK, North2F, 6 Chome-20 Jingumae, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0001 Japan Make sure to add chocolate ice cream and toppings!!! #Tokyo travel #Shibuya bar #Shibuya dessert #Tokyo things to do #Shibuya things to do #Tokyo things to see
