This area is really important for the history of Christianity in Japan. I stopped by to check it out while I was in the area.

GRANSTA MARUNOUCHI
When you come out of Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi underground exit, you will be in the GRANSTA MARUNOUCHI mall. From Marunouchi’s underground north exit to the south exit, general stores, grocery stores, cafes and restaurants are lined up.
Super convenient location—right inside Tokyo Station. Perfect for a quick browse while transferring.
It’s newly renovated and feels nice to walk around. Lots of food options too, from desserts to full meals. -

COCORIS “Hazelnut and Raspberry Sand Cookies”
COCORIS is a specialty confectionery brand known for using generous amounts of tree nuts to craft richly flavored sweets. Among the countless souvenir options available at bustling Tokyo Station, COCORIS stands out as one of the most popular, and its signature item-the “Hazelnut and Raspberry Sand Cookies”-is a must-try.
The hazelnut flavor is super fragrant, and paired with the slightly tart raspberry it doesn’t feel overly sweet.
Nice layered texture too—crispy on the outside with a smooth filling inside.
It tastes more “grown-up,” not like those cloyingly sweet cookies. -

Seibuen Yuenchi
This amusement park is in Tokorozawa City, Saitama. It made a renewal open in May, 2021 with the theme “Play Them all with Showa Energy.” A retro shopping street and large-scale attractions were added.
This is a great spot for people of all ages, no matter who you are!
