While shopping at Ginza Mitsukoshi, I unexpectedly came across a very cute eyewear store. The glasses had distinctive designs, and the displays were also very refined. Just looking at all the different styles was interesting.
Each frame had its own style—some were simple, while others were playful and cute. I couldn't help trying them on one after another.
Kabukicho
Kabukicho is the entertainment district that sits just steps from the east exit of Shinjuku Station. It’s a major hub for izakaya pubs, amusement centers and nightlife spots to enjoy after hours. With neon signs lit up through the entire night, it’s earned the nickname of “the city that never sleeps”.
東京新宿，晚上一定要來感受一下「歌舞伎町」的夜晚氣氛，一到晚上，街道兩旁的霓虹燈和招牌紛紛亮起來，整個街區變得非常熱鬧。
五顏六色的燈光映照在街道上，搭配來來往往的人潮，呈現出和白天完全不同的東京風貌。隨手拍幾張照片都很有夜東京的感覺！
Goryokaku Park
Goryokaku, a Western-style fortress, was built in 1866 and served as the political capital of Hokkaido until the new Meiji government took over. It later became a popular tourist attraction after it was opened to the public as "Goryokaku Park" in 1914 and was designated as a national special historic site.
The park is lush and green, and walking along the moat is very pleasant. Each season offers different scenery. Especially in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, all of Goryokaku is surrounded by a sea of pink flowers. The star-shaped fort and cherry blossoms together are truly beautiful!
Visiting Goryokaku Park this time felt very special. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery, I could also feel the historical atmosphere of Hakodate. If I come back to Hokkaido, I hope I can catch the cherry blossoms in full bloom and take photos of a different side of Goryokaku!
Shinkyogoku Shopping Street
Spanning approximately 500m from Sanjo Street to Shijo Street in the heart of Kyoto, Shinkyogoku Street buzzes daily with locals, tourists, and school trip students. The Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2022, stands as Japan's second oldest shopping district.
When in Kyoto, you definitely have to check out Shinkyogoku Shopping Street. It has a strong Kyoto shopping atmosphere, with plenty of clothing stores, drugstores, souvenir shops, and restaurants along the way, so you can take your time browsing and hunting for finds.
The shopping street is covered, so you don’t have to worry too much even if it rains, making it very convenient to explore. There are also quite a few small shops with a distinctive Kyoto feel along the way, and it’s easy to find souvenirs or something to eat.
