Shinjuku Golden Gai
A traditional, retro-style bar district in Shinjuku's Kabukicho, where about 300 wooden row-house style shops line the narrow alleyways. Renowned for offering an intimate encounter with Japanese culture.
It's pretty quiet during the day, but at night, it's a whole different vibe.
Seirogan
Seirogan is a gastrointestinal medication that has been a staple in Japanese households for over 100 years. Its main active ingredient, the herbal medicine (a natural plant with medicinal properties) and Japanese pharmacopoeia “JP wood creosote” helps to adjust the water balance in the intestines without disrupting intestinal movement.
This is something elderly people take, but the smell is really unpleasant. I have scary memories of being forced to take it as a kid, and I still can't forget it. I wouldn't recommend it...
Toei One-day Pass (Toei Marugoto Kippu)
Valid for one full day, the Toei One-day Pass (Toei Marugoto Kippu) offers unlimited access to Toei subways.
I love riding the bus leisurely through the streets of Tokyo, taking in the city's unique vibe in each neighborhood. It's a feeling you just can't get from the subway or trains.
