Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal | Review by Chungjian Huang

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.

• Oimachi, Kamata, Haneda Airport Area
• Airplanes & Airport

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.

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.

• Nakano, Koenji, Ogikubo, Nerima
• Jewelry & Watches

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.

Unagi Japanese restaurant, Uomoto

The restaurant has a long history opened between the end of Edo period and the early of Meiji period (around 1853- 1868), was originally located on the Goudo area of Koshu road, and then moved several times, now standing in a residential area off the main street.

• Fuchu, Chofu, Tama
• Japanese Cuisine

It’s not the easiest place to find on foot from Fuchu Station, since it’s tucked away in a residential area. But as soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a small Japanese-style courtyard that instantly helps you relax. The staff were also incredibly kind, with a warm, welcoming vibe that felt almost like being taken care of by a friendly older sister.

The most impressive part was definitely the eel rice bowl. Especially when the sauce was poured over the steaming hot rice, the aroma was amazing. Once you take a bite, the texture of the eel and the rich sauce blend together perfectly, and it honestly makes you want to keep eating bite after bite. Besides that, the other dishes were also consistently good. It’s definitely a place I’d want to come back to.
