I really love the artsy cafes here! It's so nice to just sit down, have a drink, and watch the street view. Japanese malls are so detailed—even the restrooms smell way better than the ones in Hong Kong.

Naha Airport
Naha Airport sits on Okinawa’s main island, serving as Japan’s southern gateway to the world. Flights here service a regular roster of domestic flights to major cities including Tokyo (Haneda), Osaka (Kansai), Nagoya (Chubu), and Fukuoka, while international routes link Okinawa directly with several Asian destinations. In addition to frequent flight options to Okinawa’s outlying islands, including Ishigaki, Miyako, and Kume, the airport sees over 20 million passengers each year.
The moment I got off the plane, I could smell the ocean breeze. It really made me feel like I had arrived in Okinawa!

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.
This cat is basically a Shinjuku landmark. If you haven't seen it, you can't say you've really been here!

Tokyo Station: Marunouchi Station Building
The construction of Japan’s front gate, Tokyo Station, began in March, 1908 and it was opened in December, 1914. Kingo Tatsuno, the pioneer of modern architecture in Japan, designed it. The steel-framed, brick Marunouchi Station building was burned on the roof and interior in the 1945 air raid.
The classic red brick building really gives off a historic vibe. It feels like stepping back a hundred years in time! If you walk over to the KITTE rooftop, you get an amazing view of the whole station—absolutely stunning!
