High Value Tokyo Itinerary - Day 3

👜 First Stop - Ginza Isetan Department Store Take advantage of the favorable exchange rate to shop for luxury goods at Ginza's most well-stocked department store. With your passport, you can enjoy tax-free shopping and an additional 5% cashback! * A bag priced at 77,000 NTD on Taiwan's official website costs approximately 57,000 NTD after tax exemption and a 5% discount. ⛩️ Second Stop - Gotokuji Temple in Setagaya (Lucky Cat Shrine) The temple is filled with lucky cat figures everywhere—from decorations and statues to beams and pillars. It's a must-visit for tourists who love cat-themed elements! * The shop closes promptly at 3 PM, so make sure to arrive early if you want to buy lucky cat items. 💪 Third Stop - Hachiman Shrine in Setagaya (Sumo Shrine) Located just a three-minute walk from the Lucky Cat Shrine, this shrine boasts nearly 900 years of history and features a sumo wrestling ring, making it a fascinating site to explore. 🍪 Fourth Stop - RARASAND Castella Cakes Only a five-minute walk from the Lucky Cat Shrine, this shop offers lucky cat-themed souvenirs, as well as must-try castella cakes and drinks! * Drinks paired with stuffed castella cakes cost around 400 NTD. 🥩 Fifth Stop - Rikyu Beef Tongue in Shinjuku Head to Shibuya to savor delicious beef tongue dishes. This time, I ordered the premium 8-piece beef tongue set (around 4,400¥ including tax). The beef tongue was fresh and chewy, but having all eight pieces in the same flavor felt a bit monotonous. I recommend opting for the mixed flavor set (salt + miso) instead! ⚾️ Sixth Stop - Shinjuku Batting Center (Daruge) Experience the thrill of baseball in Shinjuku! It's a must-try for sports and baseball enthusiasts. For 400¥, you get 25 balls per session. You can freely adjust the height and speed of the pitches, and there's even a nine-square grid to test your accuracy and speed. On the day I visited, there were many foreigners enjoying the experience as well!
