Ikaho Onsen
Ikaho Onsen has been loved since ancient times. It is said that writers such as Yumeji Takehisa and Roka Tokutomi frequented.
The old stone steps and street have a great atmosphere. It's fun to snack as you walk along. Taking a stroll after a hot spring bath is just perfect.
SEASCAPE TERRACE & DINING
You can dine with a fantastic view of the Tokyo city beyond the sea and enjoy a wide variety of items in buffet style which will be suited to the individual timeframe.
There are so many options here—roast beef, seafood, veggies, desserts, and everything is super well-prepared. Plus, the view from the terrace is absolutely gorgeous.
[Closed Down]Tamahide Ichino
This is a sister restaurant to "Tamahide" the long-standing chicken restaurant in Ningyocho established in 1760. They are also well known as the originator of chicken and egg on rice.
This historic restaurant has been around for over a hundred years. The eggs are thick and silky, and the chicken is super tasty. If you're at Skytree, you definitely shouldn't miss this place.
Atami Onsen Sakuraya Ryokan
Atami Onsen Sakuraya Ryokan is a classical Japanese ryokan founded 70 years ago. They proudly serve excellent meals cooked with the selected produce from Atami, while their baths are directly filled with pure hot spring water.
I stayed here when I visited Atami. The location is super convenient, right near Atami Station. The view of the whole bay from the room was absolutely beautiful.
TOKYO GIFT PALETTE
The "Tokyo Gift Palette" is located just outside the "Yaesu North Exit ticket gate" of Tokyo Station. This area, which occupies a corner of "First Avenue Tokyo Station", features a total of 39 brands, including exclusive Japanese and Western confectioneries as ideal as gifts for loved ones and souvenirs of Tokyo, limited edition sweets available only here, special bento boxes and side dishes, and cafes where you can spend time in comfort. Of these, 24 are new brands, new business categories, or brands that are opening at Tokyo Station for the first time, attracting much attention.
I hadn't been to Tokyo Station in years, and after the renovation, it feels like a totally new place. The transformation is really impressive!
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden
Shinjuku Gyoen once stood as an estate of the Naito family, the hereditary vassals of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period before being established as an imperial garden in 1906.
I really miss the season when the autumn leaves are everywhere.
