This shopping mall, located close to the Isesaki Interchange on the Kita-Kanto Expressway, attracts customers from beyond Gunma Prefecture.
Even though it's not in a big city, the number of stores is just as impressive as a major department store. There are tons of restaurants too, from ramen and pasta to desserts.
Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo
The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo originally opened in 1995 after taking over a collection of 3,000 works from the Tokyo Prefectural Art Museum, which itself opened in 1926, and in 2019 had a renewal opening with a renewed collection of approximately 5,500 works.
It seems like this is the largest art museum in Japan. There are both permanent and special exhibitions, making it rich and interesting.
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”.
You hardly ever see so many police officers anywhere else, but here you can see as many as you want.
