When visiting Osaka's Umeda area, Hankyu Sanban Gai is a great place to shop. The mall is close to the station and easy to reach, with everything from clothing and general goods to restaurants. Walking around, you can really feel the bustle of central Osaka.

What attracts me most is the wide variety of stores. As you walk around, you'll come across interesting little shops, so you can eat and shop all in one place. The underground shopping area connects to the surrounding malls, so even rainy weather doesn't affect your plans much.

When you get tired from shopping, you can sit down at a restaurant for something to eat before continuing to explore the Umeda area. Rather than rushing around to specific attractions, casually wandering like this also lets you experience a more everyday side of Osaka.

Kabukiage

This fried rice cracker features a crispy texture and a slightly sweet soy sauce-based seasoning. It is a popular, long-selling product that appeals to both children and adults alike.

Kabukiage is a classic Japanese rice cracker. It looks simple, but it's packed with flavor. The round rice crackers are fried until crisp and coated with a sweet and salty soy sauce seasoning. First you get the crunchy texture, and then the soy sauce flavor slowly spreads, making it hard to stop eating.

I like its simple, familiar flavor without too many fancy seasonings. It's easy to finish the whole bag, one bite after another.
The Marunouchi Building

In Marunouchi, the business district in front of Tokyo Station, there is a popular spot with many shops that keep offering the latest in style trends, nicknamed Maru-Biru.

Tokyo Station has always been an important stop on trips to Tokyo. From here, you can travel in every direction around Tokyo, and it’s also a major Shinkansen hub for reaching other cities. Every time I walk into the station, I can feel the crowds coming and going, filling the place with the rhythm of travel.

The Marunouchi area offers scenery different from what you see inside the station. The red-brick exterior of Tokyo Station stands alongside the modern high-rises around it, blending classic and contemporary architecture into a distinctive cityscape.

It’s also a great place to shop for souvenirs, with Tokyo-exclusive sweets, popular gifts, and all kinds of specialty products. After browsing the shops and picking up souvenirs, hopping on a train to the next stop really feels like traveling in Tokyo.
Yokohama Anpanman Children's Museum

Interact with the world and characters of “Let’s Go! Anpanman” at this museum (3F). Here you can meet super-popular characters like Anpanman and Baikinman, and there’s even a stage-based performance where children can sing and dance with Anpanman!

At the Yokohama Anpanman Children’s Museum, we saw a huge Anpanman standing at the entrance as soon as we arrived, and my daughter was absolutely delighted. There were so many cute things inside, and we also bought a few Anpanman bath bombs. Even the packaging was so adorable that we almost didn’t want to use them.

After seeing the museum exhibits, we bought red bean cream bread, chocolate cream bread, and some cute melon bread. Each one was shaped like Anpanman or one of his friends. They were detailed and adorable, and everyone happily enjoyed them.

The only slight disappointment was that we didn’t get to eat the udon this time, so we couldn’t bring home the cute Anpanman bowl. We’ll just have to save that as a reason to come back next time.
