Kabukicho
Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.
If you want to experience Japanese nightlife, you definitely have to check this place out.
Babadaimon no Keyaki Namiki
Keyaki Namiki is a 500-meter long walkup that's flanked with over 120 Zelkova trees. The avenue serves as a promenade that leads to Okunitama-jinja Shrine, and remains the sole National Natural Monument in Japan to be designated for its Zelkova trees.
Walking down the avenue in the afternoon with sunlight streaming through was so pleasant.
yatuhasian・sisyuyakata
A facility in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, near Nishikyogoku Sports Park, where visitors can experience Kyoto culture and Kyoto sweets. They have a menu of more than 20 hands-on activities, including a free-entry Kyo-sisyu(Kyoto’s embroidery) museum and hands-on workshop of making Nama-Yatuhasi (fresh Yatuhasi-mochi)
The Yatsuhashi you make gets packed in a jar to take home, and there's even a little card included. It's perfect as a souvenir or keepsake.
