The place really comes alive at night! The lights, tree shadows, and reflections on the water look amazing—super photogenic. Make sure to set aside some time for photos.

GRAND GREEN OSAKA
A large-scale complex built on the former Umeda Freight Station site, GRAND GREEN OSAKA is located just steps from JR Osaka Station. It consists of the South Building, North Building, and Umekita Park. Part of the facility opened in September 2024, with the grand opening scheduled for March 21, 2025, and the full completion planned for FY2027.
Super convenient location! The whole area is really well designed, with lots of greenery, cafes, and shops, so it’s a relaxing place to walk around. During the day it has a trendy vibe, and at night the lighting makes it feel really atmospheric—perfect for photos. I feel like this will become Osaka’s new landmark. Whether you want to stroll, grab coffee, or just take cool pictures, I totally recommend it!

Ken's Cafe Tokyo
Opened in 1998 near Shinjuku-gyoenmae, this is Japan’s first specialty shop dedicated exclusively to gâteau au chocolat.
I made a reservation for a pickup time in advance.
Brought it home and could choose to chill it in the fridge or warm it up in the microwave, and each way gave a different kind of happiness.
The price is a bit on the high side, but the quality is honestly worth it! -
The Former Tokaido Shinagawa-juku
The Tokaido was one of the main highways maintained during the Edo Period (1603-1868). From Tokyo to Kyoto, this highway had 53 posts. Originating from Nihonbashi, the second post was Shinagawa Juku. Along a 2-km stretch of road, Shinagawa Juku bustled as a post town.
There are lots of unique restaurants and shops here, serving authentic Japanese food. It's a great place to enjoy real Edo flavors.
