After having dinner in Chinatown, it's perfect to take a walk over to the park. The night view is really beautiful.

Ichinokura Himezen
Himezen was developed in 1988 by Ichinokura, a sake brewer based in Miyagi Prefecture. Created as a “new traditional” sake that would be approachable even for women in their 20s and 30s who were not familiar with sake, it was designed with a lower alcohol content of 8%. For more than 30 years since its release, it has been enjoyed by a wide range of generations.
Goes down really smoothly.
I didn’t feel any resistance from the very first sip.
The alcohol taste isn’t strong, so it’s super easy to drink 😊 -
Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine
Dazaifu Tenmangu is the head shrine of 10,000 different shrines across Japan dedicated to the spirit of Sugawara Michizane. Sugawara was an acclaimed scholar who was deemed innocent posthumously after being exiled to Dazaifu by Kyoto’s Imperial Court. The main hall was built over his grave and has been preserved as a sacred site of Tenjin worship for over 1100 years.
The design of the heart-shaped pond is really unique—it represents the past, present, and future. Plum blossoms are a symbol of Dazaifu, and you can find plum cakes for sale all along the shopping street. They taste pretty good!

Meiji Jingu Gaien (Outer Garden)
Meiji Jingu Gaien, the outer park of Meiji Shrine, was established in 1926. It features the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery and various sports facilities, such as the Meiji Jingu Stadium, where you can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons.
The ginkgo trees are lined up so neatly, it feels like they're welcoming you. The dreamy ginkgo avenue here is one of Tokyo's best spots for autumn leaves.
