There are light displays at night in winter. You get a better view of them when riding the cable car. The area is pretty open, so make sure to wear a few extra layers.

Kamata Onsen
Kamata Onsen is a nostalgic public bathhouse that has been in operation since 1937. The naturally sourced hot spring water that flows here is jet black - considered the darkest among Kamata’s many black-hot-spring baths. This distinctive color comes from humic acid, which is rich in marine minerals. Despite its appearance, the water has no unpleasant odor, making it approachable even for first-time visitors.
The space isn't very big, but it's super clean and has a really relaxing vibe. The price is very reasonable, too. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood for hot springs.

Kyoto Tower (Nidec The Kyoto Tower)
It is located right in front of Kyoto Station. It was designed in the shape of a lighthouse to illuminate Kyoto, and is the tallest building in Kyoto at 131 meters. It has been visited by over 32 million people since it opened in 1964.
Kyoto Tower really stands out—you can see it from pretty much anywhere. It's totally the city's landmark.

Don Quijote Shinjuku Kabukicho Store
Don Quijote Shinjuku Kabukicho Store is the discount shop drawing shoppers from near and wide for its whopping selection and unbeatable prices. Sat at the entrance of Kabukicho, Japan’s largest entertainment district, the store is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year so you can easily pop in for shopping whether on your way during the day or night.
There are a lot of products, but it's really messy inside. The stairs and aisles are way too narrow, and it's hard to get around.
