Suitengu Shrine

Located in Ningyocho, an area brimming with downtown charm despite being in the city center, Suitengu Shrine has a rich history. The ninth lord of the Kurume Domain in Fukuoka Prefecture, Arima Yorinori, established a branch shrine at his upper residence in Mita Akabane in 1818, marking the beginning of Suitengu Shrine in Tokyo.

Suitengu Shrine is mainly known for prayers for a safe delivery and fertility, so you can see many ema plaques and amulets related to families and children.
The shrine's architecture isn't particularly ornate, but the white exterior and tidy grounds make it feel very pleasant.

The streets, signs, and restaurant interiors inside the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum all have a nostalgic Showa-era feel~ This time, I tried the shio ramen at Ryu Shanghai. The broth was savory and salty, and the noodles had a nice texture. I'd like to visit the original location someday!

Ate at COCO'S family restaurant and ordered a gratin. The hot cheese with the rich sauce was simple but very satisfying, and the drink bar had a nice variety too! The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the seating was perfect for chatting at a leisurely pace.
Rather than famous places that tourists have to try, I prefer family restaurants like this that Japanese people also go to regularly~

What makes teamLab so special is that you don't simply look at the exhibits—you feel like you're actually stepping into the artwork. From walking barefoot through water to spaces filled with mirrors, lights, and flowers, each area offers a different sensory experience.
Although some areas are crowded and you have to wait to take photos, it's still a lot of fun overall. It's not much like a traditional art museum—it's an art experience you can interact with yourself!

This aquarium is built on the roof of a building in Sunshine City, a large-scale commercial facility in Ikebukuro. It is made up of three areas: “Sky Journey,” “Ocean Journey,” and “Waterfront Journey.”

I happened to visit Sunshine Aquarium during its Detective Conan collaboration, and the character illustrations were really nice!
The aquarium itself isn't very big, but the exhibits are arranged in a distinctive way. Besides the various marine animals, there are also the eye-catching Sky Penguins, where you can see penguins swimming between tall buildings. It's a very unusual sight~
The atmosphere inside the aquarium is relaxed and pleasant, making it a good place to visit when you're tired from shopping.

Ichiran Ramen is a classic meal to have when visiting Japan. Its most distinctive feature is the individual booth-style seating, where you can quietly finish a bowl of ramen and really focus on enjoying the food! The ramen broth is rich, and you can also customize the noodles to your liking. Although quite a few people were waiting in line, the meal was very satisfying~

Sensoji Temple is a place with a strong cultural feel. Starting with the large red lantern at the Kaminarimon Gate, you can immediately sense the rich atmosphere of traditional Japan. Walking along Nakamise Street to the temple, the little shops along the way are also full of character. There were many visitors, making it very lively!

The streets of Chinatown are filled with colorful gates, lanterns, and Chinese restaurants, creating a lively atmosphere that feels very different from a typical Japanese neighborhood. There are lots of snacks to choose from along the way, and the meat buns, dumplings, fried chicken cutlets, and more all look delicious!!
Although it feels quite touristy overall, the mix of various Chinese elements with Japanese streetscapes creates a very interesting international atmosphere~

The Art Aquarium Museum GINZA felt like an immersive exhibition combining technology, art, and living creatures. With the lighting and music, the fish that would normally just be swimming around became the most eye-catching works of art in the space. The brilliant colors, projections, and installations gave the entire space a dreamy and slightly mysterious atmosphere. It’s a very nice place for people who enjoy photography or spatial design.

I went to the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo to see the Ron Mueck exhibition. The gallery was filled with huge skulls piled across the floor, creating a very powerful visual impact. Each one was slightly different, and up close you could see many details that gave the initially somewhat fantastical work a sense of realism. Standing among these giant skulls made me feel as though I had suddenly become very small. The exhibition was not only striking but also very memorable.
