Shinjuku Gyoen
I suspect not many people know there’s a huge garden in Shinjuku. About a 15-minute walk from the South Exit of Shinjuku Station, there’s a place called Shinjuku Gyoen. It used to be an imperial ga…

From the 7th station to the 8th station it’s all rock, so the climb was anything but easy. If you’re going up without a guide, it’d be a bit dangerous at night. Also, you can push your way up…

I’ve lived in Tokyo for a while, but there were still quite a lot of places I’d never been to, so now that I have some time I’m getting around to visiting them. When you say Kichijoji, the fi…
Roppongi and Akasaka are the heart of Japan’s political and business world. They’re also very close to each other. After a meal in Roppongi, I went over to Akasaka to take a look at Akasaka Sacas, …
