Golden Gai is the most iconic part of Kabukicho's culture. The narrow alleys are packed with a nostalgic Japanese vibe. Each bar is pretty small, maybe just four or five tsubo. It's easy to strike up a conversation over drinks, and there are lots of foreigners here trying it out too. Great place to make new friends! 😊

S-PAL Fukushima
S-PAL Fukushima is a popular shopping center directly connected to Fukushima Station’s east exit, serving as a major gateway to the Tohoku region since its opening in 1988. Conveniently linked to both the Tohoku Shinkansen and local JR lines, it attracts both locals and tourists alike.
It's super convenient to buy Fukushima souvenirs for friends and family here. There are so many options!

HI-CHEW Grape
A soft candy launched in 1975 and loved for its juicy fruit flavor. Originally available only in strawberry, HI-CHEW now comes in a wide variety of flavors and is enjoyed by children and adults alike. HI-CHEW Grape is especially popular. Fruit juice is blended into the candy’s outer layer, filling your mouth with juicy fruit flavor. Many region-exclusive flavors are also available, making HI-CHEW a popular travel souvenir.
Morinaga HI-CHEW candies come in so many flavors, and they really taste like real fruit! I've loved them since I was a kid, and even now I still buy them sometimes for a bit of nostalgia.
