Being surrounded by mountains felt so relaxing—an instant reset for me.

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.
It's impossible not to wander into this place when you're in the busiest part of Shinjuku. Ended up spending quite a bit without even realizing it.

Ikebukuro PARCO
Located in Ikebukuro, Toshima City, Tokyo, this shopping mall has been a landmark since its opening in 1969 as the first PARCO branch in Japan. Known for curating the latest trends in fashion and lifestyle, it has remained a favorite destination, particularly among younger generations. In 1994, the annex P’PARCO was also opened to expand its offerings.
This place is a paradise for trend lovers. You can always find the latest fashionable items here.

Goryokaku Park
Goryokaku, a Western-style fortress, was built in 1866 and served as the political capital of Hokkaido until the new Meiji government took over. It later became a popular tourist attraction after it was opened to the public as "Goryokaku Park" in 1914 and was designated as a national special historic site.
The area around Goryokaku Park is filled with cherry blossom trees. In May, during cherry blossom season, it's said to be the most beautiful spot for sakura in Hokkaido.
