Hanamikoji-dori Street really feels like Kyoto. The stone-paved street and traditional buildings create such an amazing atmosphere, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a geisha. It feels really special just walking here.

Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport)
Haneda is Japan’s largest airport, officially called Tokyo International Airport. Each of the three terminals has an observation deck where you can watch closely the airplanes take off and land, shopping facility, and restaurants with different cuisines.
Terminal 3 felt very bright and spacious overall, and the layout made it really comfortable. There was also plenty of seating to rest.
I especially liked the areas with the large floor-to-ceiling windows, where you can relax while watching planes take off and land on the apron. The atmosphere was very calming, and it's definitely a big plus for anyone who enjoys watching airplanes. -

Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal
Opened in 2016, Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal stands as one of Japan’s largest highway bus terminals, located at JR Shinjuku Station’s South Exit. With around 90 bus operators serving the terminal, it connects destinations from Aomori in the north to Fukuoka in the south, with over 1,600 bus departures daily.
You can catch buses to sightseeing spots around Tokyo, and it’s also pretty convenient for getting to the airport.
The 3rd floor is for arrivals and the 4th floor is for departures. It’s also connected to the shopping complex next door, so if you have time, you can do a little shopping too! -

Majime na Tokeiya KAME-KICHI
In Tokyo's Nakano Ward is a luxury brand watch specialty shop called Kame-Kichi. It enjoys a good reputation as a place where popular brands of watches, such as Rolex and Cartier, can be purchased more cheaply than elsewhere. With a regular lineup of about 3,000 timepieces, this shop is top-class.
There are lots of watch shops on the 3rd floor of Nakano Broadway, so you can take your time comparing prices. Some staff can also communicate a little in Chinese or English, which makes it fairly tourist-friendly.
There are many stores, and the price differences can be pretty big. I’d recommend checking a few places before buying. Sometimes the price gap for the exact same model is really noticeable. -
