[2025 Tokyo Restaurant] Travel Guide for Daikokuya Tempura (Updated Oct)

This year, I went to Japan for the first time during cherry blossom season. I'd always wanted to travel during cherry blossom season, but airfare was incredibly expensive. This time, I found a great deal on a spot flight. Round-trip flights from Taipei to Tokyo were only NT$8,900 on Scoot. If you're looking for a ticket for cherry blossom season under NT$10,000, don't hesitate to buy it! I bought my flight, booked my accommodations, confirmed my insurance, and even finalized my itinerary within a month. I felt incredibly efficient! 👍🏻 This was also my first solo trip, and I tried to savor every attraction. I let go of my daily worries and constantly engaged in conversation with myself, reflecting on my current state of mind. I slowed down, relieved my usual tension and stress, and didn't need to match everyone else's pace. When I got tired, I just went back to the hotel to rest and savored my own time. Traveling with friends offers the joy of a group tour, but traveling alone also offers its own healing power! 🌟Trip Objective: Enjoy cherry blossoms during cherry blossom season, including at night🌸 🌟Departure Date: Tuesday, March 25, 2025 🌟Return Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025 🗓️Itinerary: (Cherry blossom viewing activities are indicated with a cherry blossom icon 🌸 below!) 2025.03.28 Day 4: 3.12:40 PM Asakusa Area🌸 🌟Store Information: Asakusa (Sensō-ji Temple, Nakamise-dori, Hanayashiki, Sumida River, and the Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center). 📍Address: 2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan 🈺Hours: Store hours and holidays are subject to change.

Hello, today I will share my travel experience with Trip.com. I got my flight ticket at a very good price even though I traveled during Japan's high season in February 2025. The latest update on places to visit for first-timers in Japan that you can't miss is Shibuya, which is a place with shops, restaurants, fashion shops, and many teenagers who dress chicly and stylishly come to visit. This is a place that gathers the most interesting landmarks in one place. I have to say that I met a lot of Thais, lol. The first meal of the day after leaving my luggage at the hotel, I didn't miss the chance to eat ramen. Since we're in Japan, we have to eat the original. I can't remember which shop it was, but it was in Shibuya. It was very delicious. The next day, I went to Mount Fuji at Kawaguchiko. A tip I would like to recommend for traveling to Mount Fuji is to watch the weather carefully. On the day I went, I felt lucky that it was snowing, but unfortunately, when it snows, we can't see the top of Mount Fuji because the clouds will completely cover it. So I can't see Mount Fuji. I'm very sad, but it's the first time I've touched snow and played in it. I made an MV for one match. I would like to tell you a technique for traveling to many places. I recommend buying the Tokyo Wide Pass because it will help you save on travel expenses for traveling to distant cities that can use the same pass. The pass that I bought is a fixed price for three days. We can travel to other provinces within the specified route. The price that I bought was around 3,400 baht. I could travel to Mt. Fuji and also travel to the famous ski resort, Gala Yusawa. The weather when I went was on February 3, 2025 at -1 degrees Celsius. It was very cold and it was snowing. It was snowing heavily at that time. I recommend wearing a jacket and thick heat tech. After returning from the ski resort on the 4th, I went to a famous temple in Asakusa called Senjoji Temple to pray for good luck in my career and finances. Before going back, I stopped by to buy souvenirs from there because there were a lot of local shops. I got some strawberry mochi that was very delicious. I had to buy some. If I didn't buy it, I had to try it at least once. The strawberries were very big and only cost 50 baht per piece. Then I traveled to Narita Airport and returned to Bangkok via Trip.com as usual. Here is a summary of travel expenses for my first trip to Japan. I visited Tokyo, Kawaguchiko, and Gala Yusawa Ski Resort. This trip, the round-trip ticket costs 17,000 baht, accommodation costs 20,000 baht, staying in the Roppongi area called Remm Roppongi. For those who love shopping, prepare a lot of money for shopping because there are many things to buy and they are cheaper than in Thailand. But if you just eat, travel, and shop normally, prepare for 5 days, 20,000 is enough. For those who love shopping, prepare a lot, kiss kiss, no ceiling, haha. The trip ended with 5 days and 4 nights at around 60,000 baht, including accommodation and airfare.

From the electric buzz of Tokyo’s streets to the serene majesty of Mt. Fuji, this trip was the perfect blend of energy and peace. Spent two unforgettable nights soaking in breathtaking views of Fuji from our stay — absolutely surreal! Tokyo's food scene never disappoints (yes, we ate so well), and the shopping? Next level! Wrapped it all up with a heartfelt visit to a local shrine, where we picked up charms for luck and memories.
