The architecture has so much character. No matter where you point your camera, it feels very retro-Japanese. There are quite a few tourists, but the atmosphere still feels pretty laid-back.

Coming early in the morning really makes a difference. The seafood all looked super fresh, and the sashimi colors were insanely beautiful.

As soon as you get to Shinsekai, you’ll spot Tsutenkaku right away—it’s so easy to recognize. Going up to the observation deck was decent, but honestly the main thing is shopping and wandering around down below.

Prices are kind of tourist-area pricing—not cheap. But I still end up buying sometimes. The wagyu, uni, and grilled scallops are seriously irresistible, and my self-control goes out the window fast.
