The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes that you can mix and match to suit your preferences. Whether you want fish, meat, or vegetables, you can find something you like. The meals are relatively well-balanced rather than consisting of just one main item, so they don’t feel too heavy afterward. The dining style is simple and convenient, and even with a large group, everyone can choose what they like without having to compromise.

Walk all the way down the golden ginkgo-lined avenue, and you’ll see the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery. In autumn, the neatly lined ginkgo trees on both sides, together with the gallery in the distance, create one of the most iconic views in Meiji Jingu Gaien. The season when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow is especially popular for enjoying the fall scenery in Tokyo.

Yamashita Park is a waterfront attraction in Yokohama that's perfect for a leisurely stroll. As you walk slowly along the shore, you can enjoy open views of the harbor and watch the boats coming and going, while the sea breeze feels especially pleasant. The park is lush and green, and you can also see lots of seagulls along the way. Sometimes they line up one by one on the railing, looking very cute and becoming an unexpected little highlight of the walk.

Calbee Snow Pea Crisps look a little healthier than typical snacks. Made primarily with snow peas, they’re crispy with a light bean aroma. I happened to find them on sale before and bought them to try. They tasted better than expected—savory, salty, and hard to stop eating, with a nicely layered texture. They’re a good choice for when you’re craving a snack.

When visiting Yokohama Chinatown, I came with a Japanese friend to try this popular meat bun! With one bite, the piping-hot dough and tender, juicy meat filling were so satisfying to eat while walking around. My friend said it’s very well known in Chinatown, and the line certainly showed how popular it is. If you’re exploring Chinatown and see a line at this dim sum shop, you might as well grab one too. It’s a simple, delicious little pleasure before continuing your stroll!
