This place is a symbol of Tokyo's pop culture. There are tons of bright and flashy clothes and accessories—if you wear them, you'll definitely stand out in a crowd.

Inokashira Park
Inokashira Park, stretching across Musashino City and Mitaka City in Tokyo, opened in 1917 as the first imperial gift park in Japan, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017.
After strolling through the Kichijoji shopping street, heading into the park made for a perfect day.

Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park
Scattered throughout the park are places where the spirit of Tove Jansson lives on. A fairy-tale writer from Northern Europe, she created the world-famous Moomin character. This park is full of cute buildings and natural spaces for visitors to enjoy.
It's so beautiful, it's hard to believe this park is free. You can even go inside the cute little houses and really immerse yourself in the charming world of the Moomins.

Yakiniku Gyugujo
Owned by the comedian Hiroyuki Miyasako, his friend and YouTuber Hikaru promotes this shop, making it a trending Yakiniku restaurant far before opening. Ever since opening in March 2022 at the Shibuya red light district, its high quality menu and trendiness with celebrities endorsing the restaurant made it popular as “Japan’s most trending restaurant”.
The meat quality is really good, with beautiful marbling that just melts in your mouth. Prices are a bit high, but for a famous yakiniku spot in Tokyo, it's actually pretty reasonable.
