Kabukicho is one of the most popular places to visit when traveling to Shinjuku and is also one of Tokyo's famous entertainment districts. It is packed with all kinds of restaurants, izakaya, bars, and entertainment venues, while the colorful neon lights and signs lining the streets showcase Tokyo's lively, bustling side. At night in particular, the entire district is brightly lit and filled with a constant flow of people, creating an even livelier atmosphere. It's a great place to experience Shinjuku's unique nightlife and cityscape. However, since the area gets crowded at night and has a wide range of establishments, travelers should stay alert. In addition to watching their belongings, they should be cautious of strangers approaching them or trying to sell them something and pay attention to their personal safety.

Ferris Wheel Kururin
The Ferris wheel Kururin has a diameter of 45 meters, and from the ground to its highest point spans 85 meters. It has also become a new iconic symbol of Matsuyama.
This landmark Ferris wheel is located on the ninth-floor rooftop of the Iyotetsu Takashimaya department store in Matsuyama, with its highest point about 85 meters above the ground. It offers 360-degree views of the Ehime cityscape, Matsuyama Castle, and the Seto Inland Sea. At night, colorful lights illuminate the sky, creating a romantic and enchanting atmosphere.

Yurakucho Marui
The “Yurakucho ITOCiA” commercial complex stands in front of the ticket gates of JR Yurakucho Station. The Yurakucho Marui fashion mall occupies the first through eighth floors.
Yurakucho Marui combines fashion, lifestyle goods, and dining in a comfortable shopping environment filled with greenery. Its biggest feature is its active promotion of subcultures, with a large area dedicated to anime and gaming events. It frequently hosts pop-up exhibitions and themed events featuring popular IPs. There was even a pop-up café featuring beautiful girl characters before, but unfortunately, I missed it. It was a shame.
