Located in Osaka's Dotonbori, Kani Doraku has become one of the street's most prominent landmarks thanks to its giant crab sign, making it recognizable almost at a glance. The restaurant specializes in crab dishes, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and careful preparation. Crab sashimi, charcoal-grilled crab, crab sushi, and crab hot pot are all quite popular, making it a popular choice for many travelers visiting Dotonbori.

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.
When I was a student, I once took an overnight bus from Kyoto. I fell asleep and woke up in Shinjuku, Tokyo. At the time, I thought it was the most affordable way to travel. It saved me the cost of a night's accommodation and left the entire day free for exploring. Looking back now, it's hard to imagine still being able to travel so carefree on an overnight bus, but that memory is also one of the truest reminders of my youth. Today, Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal remains a major transportation hub in Tokyo, connecting the city with destinations throughout Japan and carrying countless travelers as they depart and arrive.
