Both kinds of cookies are pretty good. Most people usually go for the bamboo shoot-shaped one first since the shape is cute and fun, and it’s definitely more popular.

There are quite a lot of bus departures from Haneda Airport. You can get direct service to places like Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Tokyo Station, and the staff will help with your luggage too. Overall, the service is really good.

Shinjuku is already lively at night, and BUSTA Shinjuku looks even more impressive under the lights. With so many travelers coming and going with their luggage, you can really feel the energy of Tokyo as an international metropolis.

Hanazono Shrine

From long ago, the shrine located here has held an important Shinto deity for all of Shinjuku. It exists quietly among the shopping malls and eateries lining Shinjuku's downtown streets.

When I passed by Hanazono Shrine, I noticed quite a few tourists and locals stopping in to pay their respects.
It’s really special that a traditional space like this has been preserved in the middle of such a busy downtown area.

The 3D Cat at Shinjuku East Exit

Located above the East Exit plaza of Shinjuku Station, one of the busiest train stations in the world, the giant 3D calico cat peers down at passersby in a dynamic video display. Since its debut in July 2021, the lifelike, seemingly popping-out 3D cat has captured widespread attention and has been featured in both domestic and international media.

Every time I walk by, there’s a huge crowd stopping to take photos. Seeing everyone holding up their phones is pretty wild.
The advertising effect is honestly really successful.

This Apple Store isn’t just about selling products. It feels more like a tech landmark in Shinjuku.
A lot of people go in even if they’re not planning to buy anything, just to enjoy the AC and check out the newly released products.

Isetan Shinjuku

The main branch “Shinjuku Isetan”, designated a historical landmark of Tokyo, is an old department store made up of several buildings, such as one mainly specializing in men’s items, and the Isetan Kaikan that mostly comprises restaurants and cafés.

The building really has that Showa-era feel. The decorative details are incredibly refined, and you can sense the history in everything from the window frames to the reliefs on the exterior.
It doesn’t feel like an ordinary department store at all.

Chinoike Jigoku

Bubbling up from deep underground, "netsudei" (volcanic mud) is formed through chemical reactions under extreme heat and pressure, eventually accumulating in this eerie red pond. For centuries, its ominous look has led people to call it a "jigoku" (hell). Stretching some 1,300 square meters, Chinoike Jigoku has existed for over 1,300 years and is now a well-maintained, must-visit attraction in Beppu.

Chinoike Jigoku and Umi Jigoku actually have totally different vibes. The contrast between the red and blue is really striking, and the visual impact is pretty direct and impressive.

Matsuyama Castle is one of the few castles in Japan with an original main keep still intact. It feels genuinely historic, not like one of those rebuilt empty shells.
Its location on the mountaintop gives it great views, and you can look out over the whole city of Matsuyama. The scenery alone makes it worth visiting.

Shimanami Kaido (Seaway)

The “Shimanami Kaido” is a 60 km long road connecting Honshu and Shikoku. It connects Onomichi City in Hiroshima Prefecture to Imabari City in Ehime Prefecture, and bridges six islands in the Seto Inland Sea. It consists of the Nishi-Seto Expressway, Ikuchijima Road, and Oshima Road.
