Kokyo Gaien National Garden
This park is located in the area outside the Main Gate to Japan’s Imperial Palace. At the center is the Garden Plaza, where green lawns are dotted with about 2,000 black Kuromatsu pine trees.
The moat, the castle, and the lawns make this a great spot to heal your soul.
Highly recommend coming alone to quietly take photos and enjoy the scenery.
NAGI Shinjuku Niboshi Golden-gai Honkan
If you walk a little down the alley behind the light-box of Shinjuku Golden Gai, you will find Nagi, the famous niboshi(dried sardines) ramen restaurant. The menu features “Unbelievable NIBOSHI Ramen” and “Unbelievable Niboshi-Tsukemen (dipping ramen)”.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! 👍
Totally hit the spot!!! 🌟
Non-Sugar Sakan Series
“Non-Sugar Sakan” is a candy series that has no sugar or artificial sweeteners. It comes in four flavors, Coffee, Kocha (Tea), Matcha and Milk.
They also have tea and cocoa flavors, but coffee is still my favorite.
Meiji Jingu Gaien (Outer Garden)
Meiji Jingu Gaien, the outer park of Meiji Shrine, was established in 1926. It features the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and various sports facilities, such as the Meiji Jingu Stadium, where you can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons.
One of the must-visit spots in Tokyo during autumn.
The beautiful yellow ginkgo leaves along the avenue are absolutely stunning.
Yakiago Shio Ramen Takahashi, Shinjuku Main Store
An elegant Japanese-style ramen restaurant. The soup combines a broth made from domestic pork bones and chicken carcass, with the main ingredient being "Yakiago" - flying fish dried and grilled. Multiple types of seafood broth are layered in the mix. For the salt seasoning, "Yakiago" prepared using Takahashi's unique method is used, combining broth extracted at two different temperatures with salt from Okinawa. The refined and delicious flavor of the premium ingredient "Yakiago" is a highlight.
I tried it and the flavor was really good! I only realized it was a famous spot after reading about it. 😁
