When I stay at hotels in Japan, I usually don't book breakfast. I prefer going to LAWSON in the morning and choosing for myself—an onigiri today, a sandwich tomorrow, plus a cup of MACHI café. I can have a different combination every day. It's simple and doesn't get old easily.

This time I stayed at the Nishitetsu Grand Hotel in Tenjin, and the location was really convenient! The Tenjin shopping district is right outside, with department stores, drugstores, convenience stores, and restaurants all nearby, so there was no need to worry about finding somewhere to shop or get a late-night snack.

Although the hotel has been open for quite some time, it is very well maintained. The lobby has the refined feel of a long-established hotel, and the staff were very friendly. The room was a little more spacious than a typical Japanese business hotel, and it didn't feel too cramped even with two large suitcases open. Overall, it was quite comfortable.

As soon as I walked into the museum, I noticed how well lit it was. Natural light poured in through the large glass windows, making the whole space feel very comfortable. It didn’t feel cramped or oppressive inside, so I felt relaxed while viewing the exhibits. I really liked this kind of design.

The architecture of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is really striking. You can recognize it from far away, and even before going up to the observation deck, just admiring the building from the outside is already worth seeing.

Kawa no Soba

After drinking around Nakasu, Fukuoka, Kawa no Soba is a place you will want to stop by. Located along the Nakagawa River, this restaurant works both as a place for chuka soba, a light ramen-style noodle dish, and as an izakaya-style spot, making it a popular choice for ending the night. It has counter seats that are easy to use even when visiting alone, as well as relaxed table seating, making it convenient as a second or third stop.

I saw this Tiger vacuum flask at the airport, and the design caught my eye right away. The raised pattern feels really nice to the touch, and it doesn’t feel like an ordinary insulated bottle.

The baristas are very professional in the way they brew the coffee, and you can see how much care goes into every detail. You can feel their commitment to coffee quality.

Watching the beans being roasted and the drinks being prepared on-site is very distinctive. It's a completely different experience from a typical Starbucks.
