It's not just the shops on Nakamise Street at Sensoji that are fun to explore—the little stores in the surrounding alleys are also really unique and interesting.

Shiroi Koibito Park
Shiroi Koibito is a well-known brand of sweets in Hokkaido. At Shiroi Koibito Park, you can tour the production line, learn the history of chocolate from the display, and create your own Shiroi Koibito snack.
The moment you walk in, it feels super dreamy—like you’re literally in a fairy tale.
You’re definitely going to buy souvenirs here. My wallet didn’t stand a chance. -

Shinagawa Aquarium
Opened in 1991 inside Shinagawa Kumin Park, which sits right next to the canal, this aquarium is themed around “Connecting with the Sea and Rivers.” It features around 4,000 sea creatures from approx 450 species. Through shows and seasonal events, you can get up close with the fish, observe them, and learn more about their world.
The jellyfish area is really beautiful—you kind of zone out just watching it.
The dolphin show felt like they put real effort into it. Kids will definitely be super excited. -

Flags
This shopping facility is constantly suggesting new lifestyle shifts from various perspectives, including fashion, music, and sports. Here you’ll find flagship stores from popular brands, and there are plenty of fashion choices for both men and women.
That huge screen on the outside really stands out, so it’s easy to spot. The location is unbeatable—right in front of Shinjuku Station—so it’s hard not to just go in.
