Keiō Amusement Passport
Centered around the Keio Line connecting Shinjuku and Hachioji, and the Inokashira Line connecting Shibuya and Kichijoji, Keio Electric Railway operates four train lines in the area. With the Keiō Amusement Passport in hand, visiting the three major amusement parks along these lines gets even easier: Yomiuriland, Tokyo Summerland, and Sanrio Puroland.
You can buy the pass right at the major stations along the Keio Line, and it’s really easy to use.
Echizen Soba no Sato
A multi-purpose facility operated by Takefu Seimen, founded in the Taisho era and marking its 100th anniversary in 2025, and known as the birthplace of Echizen soba. Enjoy carefully crafted Echizen soba made from buckwheat grown on large company-owned farms in Fukui and Hokkaido and milled in-house.
They specialize in handmade soba with a clean, light flavor. The buckwheat aroma really stands out, and the noodles have a firm texture without being mushy. The dipping sauce isn't overly salty either.
It doesn't try to be fancy, but you can tell they take soba seriously. If you're in the mood for a simple bowl of soba that goes down easy, this place probably won't disappoint.
Nagasaki Prefectural Saikaibashi Park

Located in the six-story Toyama Kirari complex, the museum serves as a center of communication in the "City of Glass," introducing the appeal and possibilities of glass expression and its various forms of beauty.
The whole building has an amazing design. There are so many types of exhibits, and every glass artwork is incredibly detailed.
I-YOKAN SHIKA SHINAI！
A famous confection from Ehime prefecture. Madeleines made from a moist batter that contains sweet and sour iyokan. By added concentrate iyokan juice to the batter, giving it an expressive juicy mouthfeel and the refreshing taste unique of iyokan. Also, by mixing the finely chopped iyokan peel into the batter, you can really feel the taste of the source ingredient.
I absolutely love this flavor! The madeleine is so moist, and the tangy citrus taste is just perfect. Pairing this cake with coffee really brings a sense of happiness!
