Pocky Chocolate

Share Happiness! A Chocolate Sweet Loved Around the World.

1 Sep 2026 See More

A classic chocolate-covered biscuit stick loved around the world. Even though you can buy it in Taiwan, I still can't resist bringing a few boxes home every time I visit Japan.

Crispy biscuit sticks coated in rich chocolate—the sweet flavor makes it hard to stop eating them one after another. They're great for an afternoon snack or while binge-watching shows. Pocky also comes in many different flavors, each with its own unique character. Matcha, strawberry, and milk are all delicious too!

When shopping at supermarkets, convenience stores, or drugstores in Japan, it's really hard to walk away empty-handed when you see Pocky.

Kameido Katori Shrine

Kameido Katori Jinja has its origins in the year 665, during the reign of Emperor Tenji, when Fujiwara no Kamiatari delivered his fighting sword in a ceremony to transfer the tutelary deity from Katori Taisha, the main Katori Shrine in Chiba.

When visiting Tokyo, besides shopping, I also highly recommend stopping by this peaceful shrine—Kameido Katori Shrine. It is known for enshrining the god of sports and victory, and many people come here to pray for victory in competitions, success in business, and success in taking on new challenges.

The entire shrine is quiet and peaceful, with a relaxed pace that makes walking around the grounds especially calming. Many different varieties of plum trees are planted here, and the scenery must be even more beautiful when the blossoms are in full bloom. Even better, you can also see Tokyo Skytree from around the shrine, creating a unique Tokyo view where a traditional shrine meets a modern landmark.

If you enjoy visiting Japanese shrines, experiencing local culture, or praying for good luck and victory, this place is definitely worth a visit!
Shunkaen Bonsai Museum

Kunio Kobayashi, a bonsai artist who promotes and passes on bonsai culture in Japan and abroad, opened this bonsai museum. Located in a quiet residential area 18 minutes by bus from the nearest Koiwa Station, visitors can experience the charm of bonsai in a secluded atmosphere.

I never expected to find such a beautiful bonsai garden tucked away in a quiet neighborhood! Founded by world-class bonsai artist Kunio Kobayashi, the Shunkaen Bonsai Museum showcases the art of bonsai to the fullest. Each bonsai looks like a carefully crafted work of art. From the shape of the tree and its branches to its overall form, you can feel the character built up over the years and the care of the artisans.

I visited on a weekday, when there weren’t many people, so I could stroll leisurely through the garden and appreciate the thoughtful details in every corner. The garden is laid out with elegance and precision, and each area has its own character. There are surprises everywhere, making you want to slow down and fully enjoy the peace and beauty.

What impressed me even more was how kind and friendly every staff member I met was, adding a sense of warmth to the entire visit. It doesn’t feel like a busy tourist attraction, but instead has a relaxed atmosphere far removed from the hustle and bustle. Even if you make a special trip from outside central Tokyo, you’ll feel it was worth the journey!

If you enjoy Japanese gardens or bonsai art, or are looking for a quiet and distinctive place to visit, the Shunkaen Bonsai Museum is definitely worth adding to your itinerary.
Tokyo Metro Museum

This metro museum was opened in 1986. It is located underneath the elevated area of the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line’s Kasai Station. Admission tickets are purchased at a ticket machine like that which sells train tickets, and the entrance is designed to look like a ticket gate.

I never expected the Tokyo Metro Museum to be so much fun! Through three approaches—seeing, touching, and operating—the museum introduces visitors to the history of Japan's subway development, various train models, and the latest railway technology.

Admission is inexpensive, but the exhibits are quite extensive. In addition to all kinds of models and valuable artifacts, there are also train simulators you can try yourself! Staff members are there to provide careful guidance, so you can actually experience the fun of being a train operator.

I originally thought I would just take a quick look around, but it turned out to be much more interesting than I expected. You can learn while having fun, and both adults and children can have a great time! I recommend allowing at least 1 hour to explore at a leisurely pace. If you like trains or transportation, or are traveling with children, I highly recommend stopping by!
