2025 Taito Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#Tokyo Attractions Today, I came to the BANDI headquarters in Tokyo, which is truly a paradise for toy fans! At ten o'clock in the morning, I took the subway to Kuramae Station and walked about eight minutes to reach this place full of creativity and history. The scene in front of me stunned me. There were many cute cartoon dolls standing on the roadside, which instantly made me feel my childhood memories flooding back. BANDI headquarters has a history of more than 70 years and is one of the well-known toy manufacturers in Japan. When you enter the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a variety of exhibitions showing BANDI's classic products, including "Masked Rider", "Ultraman" and "Pokemon". I can't help but feel that these characters have accompanied us as we grew up, allowing me to experience the magic of toys again. Here, you can not only appreciate various models and toys, but also take photos with your favorite characters. Each exhibition area is full of love and creativity, which makes me feel the hard work behind the making of these toys. Especially the children's laughter and surprised expressions filled the entire venue with a happy atmosphere. I saw many other tourists here, all immersed in this wonderful world. Whether young people or families, this place can meet the expectations of every toy fan. Walking in the exhibition area, I felt everyone’s love for toys, which made me feel excited, as if I had returned to my carefree childhood. After a day of exploration, my heart is filled with satisfaction and happiness. BANDI headquarters is not only a place for shopping, but also a magical space where people can feel childlike fun and creativity. Next time I come to Tokyo, I will definitely visit here again and continue my toy journey! 🚀 Address: 1-4-8 Komagata, Taito-ku, Tokyo Access: About 8 minutes on foot from Kuramae Station on the Toei Asakusa Line and Toei Oedo Line Business hours: Weekdays 10:00-18:00 (weekends and holidays vary by store) #BANDIHeadquarters #TokyoTravel #ToyFans #AnimeCulture #ChildhoodMemories #AsakusaExplore

This is my first time staying in Yinggu. Of course, I have to find out if there are any restaurants I want to eat at. #デン (DEN) is a coffee shop that was featured in the Japanese drama "The Solitary Gourmet". The whole space creates a retro atmosphere, such as wooden walls matched with a fabric sofa with gorgeous patterns. However, there will be regular customers smoking indoors, so if you are concerned about the smell of smoke, you may want to consider this. In addition, the food preparation process is relatively slow, so it is not suitable if you are in a hurry. 🍞Grapan Mix (JPY 980) The portion is scary, it’s a very thick toast! Hollow out the middle part and put in the sauce and bake it. The whole thing is super fragrant. 🥪 Sandwich Mix (JPY 680) I haven't had company sandwiches for a long time. One side is scrambled eggs + ketchup, and the other side is ham + lettuce. 🥪Topst Tamagotchi (JPY 530) The scrambled egg toast with baked bottom is seasoned with ketchup and tastes great. It was still slightly hot when it was served, so it must have been prepared upon order. ☕️Brand Code (JPY 400) A refreshing coffee that is easy to drink even with milk but no sugar. If you live nearby, you can come and feel as if time has stood still. . .
