The menu has more than just ramen and chicken skin skewers. There’s also fried rice, chashu rice bowls, edamame, mentaiko, gyoza, and other snacks that go well with drinks. Whether you want a full meal or a late-night bite, there are plenty of options.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building Observation Deck
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, located in Shinjuku, is Tokyo’s centralized administration complex, comprised of three buildings: the First Main Office Building, the Second Main Office Building, and the Metropolitan Assembly Building. The First Main Office Building is home to a 45th floor Observation Deck, which is accessible by dedicated elevator on the 1st floor. In just 55 seconds the dedicated elevator will whisk you into the skies, to a height of 202 meters above ground and the sprawling view of Tokyo below.
The architecture of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is really striking. You can recognize it from far away, and even before going up to the observation deck, just admiring the building from the outside is already worth seeing.

Tiger Vacuum flask "MJX-B048"
With the latest proprietary painting technology that layers delicate patterns, this series achieves a three-dimensional pattern and tactile texture, making it popular as a vacuum flask that conveys the beauty of Japanese tradition to the world. In October 2023, the lineup was expanded to include a vacuum flask with a modern arrangement of kimono patterns of "Kyo Yuzen."
I saw this Tiger vacuum flask at the airport, and the design caught my eye right away. The raised pattern feels really nice to the touch, and it doesn’t feel like an ordinary insulated bottle.

Okunitama-jinja Shrine
Okunitama Shrine, with a history stretching back about 1900 years, is where Okunitama-no-Okami, the deity protecting the Musashino area, is enshrined. Musashino was a vast area including modern-day Tokyo, Saitama, and parts of Kanagawa. Inside the shrine grounds are several smaller shrines, each one granting its own blessing. Among those, the shrine blessing love and marriage is especially well-known.
This place feels rich with history. The large trees lining the approach are really impressive, and the whole shrine has a dignified atmosphere without feeling too intimidating.
