MUJI Ginza | Review by Ming Yu

Tokyo's best-known place of worship and forest retreat from the heat, Meiji Jingu Shrine!

Right next to bustling Harajuku and Shibuya, the moment you enter the shrine grounds, you can feel the peace and solemnity of walking along the tree-lined approach. Before praying, you can purify your hands at the temizuya, then visit the amulet office to choose from various exquisite omamori and ema prayer plaques. Quiet and lush with greenery, it's a must-visit spiritual spot for experiencing traditional Japanese Shinto culture, praying for safety, and escaping the hustle and bustle of the city!

A shopping paradise created for sophisticated modern women and fashion lovers, NEWoMan SHINJUKU!

Directly connected to the New South Gate of JR Shinjuku Station, it has an excellent, convenient location. Inside, you'll find many sophisticated independent designer brands, premium fragrances and skincare, specialty coffee, and fine dining. Unlike a traditional department store, NEWoMan offers an elegant, refined shopping atmosphere. Whether you're looking for unique fashion pieces, enjoying refined cuisine, or spending a relaxing day shopping in the city, this is a stylish Shinjuku landmark you shouldn't miss!

The hugely popular specialty shop Chiikawa Land TOKYO Station (ちいかわらんど TOKYO Station), located inside Tokyo Character Street at First Avenue Tokyo Station!

It's conveniently located and easy to visit as soon as you arrive at Tokyo Station by train. The store is neatly stocked with Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi plush toys dressed in distinctive outfits, along with exquisite stationery and small storage pouches. The selection is extensive and full of surprises, with plenty of collectible items. It's a must-visit shopping destination that Chiikawa fans absolutely shouldn't miss when passing through Tokyo Station!
