Hidden Shinjuku gems!

Who would have thought that a late night walk will get me to one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood! 🏮Hanazono Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine placed in the heart of the city! A perfect place for your mind to slow down a little. It is dedicated to Inari, the deity of business prosperity, fertility, and success. So fingers crossed ☺️ The shrine is beautifully lit at night, making it a great spot for an evening visit so don’t be scared to walk in by yourself! 🥟 Hungry? No problem! Stop Nikujiru Gyoza no Dandadan Mei. They are open from 11:30 AM to 3:00 AM, and they serve hot gyoza with an amazing flavor. Don’t feel like eating by yourself at the spot? They offer takeout! 🍹 Bar Stone for Hip Hop Music lovers! I found it totally randomly, have heard the music and decided to walk in. Let me tell you, what a vibe! If you love 90s rap music this is place for you. Staff talks a bit in English. Drinks are decent. I came back at least three times during my week stay. Here’s the address: 📍 〒169-0073, 東京都新宿区, 百人町1丁目22-26 シラハマビル一階 Have fun in Tokyo! #tokyostroll #tokyo
