I heard that Mlesna Tea, which I enjoyed a lot during my trip to Sri Lanka, is now in Tokyo. I also heard that they offer all-you-can-eat scones! This time, I went there with a friend, so I'll report on it! I went there for the all-you-can-eat scones. When I made a reservation, the only session available was from 5pm, so you can see how popular it is. When I arrived exactly on time, I was given a numbered ticket and instructed to look around the store and wait. After a while, my number was called and I was allowed through to the second floor. The seats are limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes, and you are asked first if there is a tea flavor that you don't like. The confiture-type flavors include lemon-flavored clotted cream, whipped cream, chestnut cream, and strawberry jam, and you can also get two types of sauce. You can have as much refills as you want. I'm so happy that I can have as much clotted cream as I want...By the way, everything was delicious. There are two types of scones: pie-like (like Kentucky Fried Chicken biscuits) and large regular types, and you are given two of each at first. Freshly baked and happy! My friend and I preferred the regular scones. The scones were not brought whenever we wanted, but rather the staff went around to each table and added one at a time when they were done baking. It seemed like they were baking each type in turn. I ended up eating about six scones and was full. The tea was delicious, of course, and we enjoyed a variety of different types. It was free flow, but the staff brought the next one randomly, so we couldn't choose the flavor. When I went to amsu tea, I remember having about 18 refills and refusing the last one, but here we stayed until the time limit and were given about 11 cups (plus complimentary iced tea and tea soda). Sometimes the tea ran out and we couldn't eat the scones. It would be nice if there were more opportunities to get more tea. Also, it was a 2-hour system, so it got hectic towards the end. It may not be suitable for people who want to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. Still, I think it's reasonable for the price and content! I would recommend it to others. 📍Address: 1-12-12 Kichijoji Minamimachi, Musashino-shi, Tokyo 180-0003 #Domestic Travel Strategy

(Cat bus cookies sold out by mid day) #tokyotravel #kichijoji Stop 2: Walk about the little Zakka shops around the station, treat yourself with something cute, something special and something memorable!

#getgoing2025 Immediately after getting off at the north exit of Kichijoji Station, there are about 100 shops in a narrow alley. Commonly known as "Harmonica Yokocho". It is said that it was named after the appearance of shops at the narrow entrance, which resembles the mouth of a harmonica. There is a lot of delicious food on sale, so it's fun to eat and walk around, but it's popular to enjoy alcohol at an izakaya on a night when the red lantern is lit. Old and new shops coexist, such as shops that have been around for a long time and cafes that have just opened.

#getgoing2025 I visited Café & Books bibliothèque in Kichijoji on a quiet weekday evening with a friend, and it was such a relaxing experience. The atmosphere inside was peaceful and cozy, perfect for a laid-back tea time. We ordered the strawberry and condensed milk pancakes, and they were as gorgeous as they were delicious! The vibrant colors and cute presentation were definitely Instagram-worthy. Plus, the portion size was huge, so we were both totally satisfied. It was an amazing tea time! **Why I recommend it:** - Quiet, calming vibe perfect for unwinding - Delicious, Instagrammable food that’s also filling 📍Address: 1 Chome-1-1 Kichijoji Honcho, Musashino, Tokyo ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Tokyo #Japan

#getgoing2025 Margaret Howell Cafe in Kichijoji. I ordered the strawberry Victoria cake 🍓. Victoria Cake is an eat-in only menu item. The cake is a tall sponge cake with a thick layer of cream and strawberries on top 🥰. I love the soft and buttery batter! The large cut makes it very satisfying and filling! Even on a weekend, it was empty and comfortable in the morning 🫶. 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Margaret Howell Kichijoji SHOP & CAFE 📍Address: 7 minutes walk from Kichijoji Station on JR Chuo Line 💞Reasons to Recommend: Delicious sweets ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Tokyo #cafe #chill

#Tokyo Attractions Kichijoji is a charming area in Tokyo that combines modernity and tradition. It not only has a wealth of shopping streets, but also has a unique cultural atmosphere. Walking in this neighborhood, you will see fashionable shops, cafes and ancient temples intertwined, giving you a sense of tranquility and vitality. What’s special is that Inokashira Park in Kichijoji is like an oasis in the city. Whether it’s the cherry blossoms in spring or the red leaves in autumn, it’s a place that makes people linger. This is not only an ideal place for shopping and leisure, but also a good place to slow down and enjoy the tranquility at any time. Whether wandering the streets or sitting quietly by the lake, Kichijoji always brings comfort and pleasure, allowing everyone who comes here to find their own quiet corner.

This time, we will introduce a shop in Kichijoji where you can interact with cute capybaras and cats! Capineko Cafe 💰Price per person: 2,800 yen This cafe is popular because you can interact with both capybaras and cats. Capybaras are faster than you might expect, but they are generally calm and collected. They seem to like being massaged, and it is very cute to see them happily meowing with their fur standing on end. It is a time-based system, so you can only interact with them for a short time, but you can still enjoy it. The cats are also friendly, and all of them will come and sit on your lap of their own accord, which is really soothing. If you are looking to become a foster parent, you can also welcome a cat into your home. The system allows you to bring one bottle of drink per person. It is included in the price, so don't forget! #DomesticTravelRecord

Tokyo's winter weather is 10 degrees warmer than Korea, so it's great for traveling! I think Tokyo is a city with a lot to see and eat. How about a foodie trip to Tokyo this winter? 2️⃣~3️⃣ Kichijoji Satou I recommend Satou, a long-standing restaurant in Kichijoji that sells menchikatsu When you take a bite of freshly fried menchikatsu, the meat juice that fills your mouth will make you feel like heaven. I recommend taking this menchikatsu to-go and eating it at a nearby park called 'Inokashira Park'! Sitting on a park bench and eating menchikatsu is healing ㅎㅎ 4️⃣ Ichiran Ramen Ichiran Ramen is already so famous! It's a delicious ramen that made me realize that there's a reason it's famous. I recommend going to a short-established store because there are many chains everywhere. I ate at Kichijoji and it was nice because there weren't many people. 5️⃣ Gyukatsu It's a gyukatsu restaurant whose name I don't remember... 🥹 I want to tell you because it was so delicious, but I can't remember.... But I think it'll be delicious no matter which store you go to.ㅎㅎ If you go to Japan, definitely try gyukatsu. 6️⃣ Kichijoji Kanekoya I've always been curious about Kanekoya whenever I pass by Kichijoji! This is a real restaurant for locals. I was curious about the long lines of locals every day, so I waited and ate, but it wasn't my taste.. It was greasy and a bit disappointing. It didn't seem like something worth waiting in line for.ㅎㅎ But there must be a reason why many locals line up..? If you're curious, I recommend you try it. 7️⃣ Shibuya Scramble Square Moheji Do you like monjayaki? I tried it for the first time here, and it was so delicious that I was surprised! I ate mentaiko and added kimchi monjayaki, but it wasn't that great. I recommend mentaiko monjayaki! The waiting line here was quite long as well. I introduced some good restaurants in Tokyo, but there are still many places I haven't introduced yet. I'll introduce them again next time! Have a warm and happy year-end. @sejin.kr #trip.com song festival #tokyo travel #winter vacation

Day 1: Strolling through the Charm of Kichijoji Today, my Tokyo trip brought me to Kichijoji, a captivating area that blends modernity with nature. Stepping out of the station, I was greeted by a bustling shopping street, with colorful shops and cafes that were a feast for the eyes. I wandered through the lively streets, randomly choosing a small shop to taste the famous local curry rice, whose aromatic flavor left a lasting impression. Afterwards, I visited Inokashira Onshi Park, a picturesque green space. With a gentle breeze on my face and the lake shimmering, I rented a small boat and rowed to the center of the lake, feeling utterly relaxed by the surrounding scenery. Day 2: Immersing in Art and Culture On the second day, I decided to explore the cultural side of Kichijoji. First, I visited the Kichijoji Art Museum, which showcased works by local artists, filled with the essence of life and emotional expression. Leaving the museum, I discovered several intriguing antique shops, each with its own unique charm, compelling me to explore them one by one. Then, I visited the Kichijoji Shrine located within the park, experiencing the profound heritage of traditional culture. In the afternoon, I sat on a park bench, enjoying the sunshine and breeze, filled with love for this city. Every corner of Kichijoji exudes an artistic atmosphere, making it hard for me to leave.

Hidden in Tokyo's bustling streets, Some Time is a quintessential Japanese jazz bar that perfectly captures the city's sophisticated after-dark atmosphere. This intimate venue, with its warm wooden interior and subtle lighting, feels like stepping into Japan's golden age of jazz. The bar's carefully curated vinyl collection sets it apart from typical music venues. The owner, clearly passionate about jazz, thoughtfully selects each record, creating an atmosphere that true jazz enthusiasts will appreciate. The sound system delivers exceptional audio quality, making each note crystal clear. The craftsmanship extends to their cocktail menu. Each drink is meticulously prepared, with the bartenders showing the same attention to detail as the music selection. Their whiskey collection is particularly impressive, featuring both Japanese and international labels. The intimate setting, with only a handful of seats, creates an experience that feels both personal and exclusive. While the cover charge might seem steep to some, it's well worth it for the authentic experience and high-quality music selection. Tip: Arrive early in the evening to secure a seat at the bar, where you can watch the masterful preparation of drinks and enjoy conversations with the knowledgeable staff. Perfect for: Jazz lovers, vinyl enthusiasts, and anyone seeking an authentic Tokyo nightlife experience away from the typical tourist spots. #tokyo #Sometime #jazzbar #jazznight

Musashino Hachimangu Shrine Built in 789, Musashino Hachimangu Shrine has been here since the development of Kichijoji Village and is deeply admired by residents. The area is about 1,300 square meters. There are many stalls set up on this day and it is very crowded on weekends. The big country worshiped here is the god of production, blessing harvests and prosperity. The main enshrinement is Hachiman-no-Okami, who is famous for blessing the health and safety of samurai, warriors and believers. The quiet environment within the territory retains the natural beauty, attracting many tourists and local residents to come to worship. In addition, the shrine holds various festivals throughout the year, especially the Redai Festival in September every year, which is grand and lively and has become an important local cultural tradition and showcases Japanese Shinto culture.

Kichijoji, a serene paradise in a corner of Tokyo, is also a haven for the urban soul. In the early morning, I stroll through Inokashira Onshi Park, where the morning light pierces through the treetops, and the lake surface glistens like a tranquil watercolor painting. Within the park, small bridges and flowing streams are surrounded by lush greenery. People walk in pairs or small groups, some strolling, some boating, and everything seems to slow down. Leaving the park, I walk into the warm and welcoming shopping streets. Whether it's a handicraft shop or a bookstore filled with the aroma of coffee, each exudes a strong sense of personality and warmth. I stop by an antique shop, rummaging through old items, as if traveling through time, seeking another aspect of life. In the evening, the lights of small restaurants on the streets begin to illuminate. I choose an izakaya and order a few specialty dishes, feeling the unique warmth and liveliness of this neighborhood. The charm of Kichijoji lies in its poetic natural beauty and its embrace of everyday life, like a melodious nocturne that one can't help but savor repeatedly.

#November Good Places 2024 #usj Kichijoji in Tokyo is very accessible and can be arranged to visit on the same day as Koenji Temple and Shimokitazawa.
