🇯🇵 Ultimate Japan Guide｜Eat, shop, play all in one, even beginners can easily enjoy! 🔹 Must-visit Landmarks ▪️ Tokyo DisneySea! Completely different from the land version, more suitable for adults. The blue-purple dusk at Mermaid Lagoon is stunning. Ride the “Tower of Terror” roller coaster and scream while enjoying the Tokyo Bay night view. ▪️ Fushimi Inari Taisha in Kyoto, very few people early in the morning! The thousand red torii gates are dazzling. Climb up the mountain path to see the full view of Kyoto. Don’t forget to take a photo of your back walking through the torii gates. ▪️ Dotonbori in Osaka, when the neon lights come on at night, it feels like stepping into a comic. There are always people taking photos under the Glico billboard. Be sure to try live crab dishes at Kani Doraku nearby. 🍜 Foodie List ▪️ Fresh sushi at Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, the fatty tuna melts in your mouth, and the sea urchin is as sweet as ice cream. Go early to avoid queues. ▪️ Yudofu (tofu hot pot) in Arashiyama, Kyoto, sit in an old shop next to the bamboo forest. The tofu is as tender as pudding, dip it in soy sauce, so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows drop. ▪️ Must order “Modern-yaki” in Osaka, the base is crispy, topped with mayonnaise and bonito flakes. Eat it hot for the best flavor. Street stalls are more authentic than chain stores. 🛍️ Shopping Guide ▪️ Ginza in Tokyo is great for buying skincare products, with many discounts on Shiseido and SK-II counters. Remember to get tax refunds. ▪️ Drugstores in Shinsaibashi, Osaka, like Matsumoto Kiyoshi and Daikoku Drugstore, stock up on face masks, eye drops, and cold medicine. You can get extra discounts when you spend a certain amount. ▪️ Don’t miss second-hand shops! Daikokuya in Tokyo has well-maintained used bags at great prices. Book Off in Osaka is perfect for finding rare manga editions. 📸 Photo Tips ▪️ Wear light-colored clothes to Nara Park. When feeding the deer, squat down and have a friend take photos from a low angle, with the deer’s antlers and blue sky with white clouds as the background. Fresh and healing vibes. ▪️ For kimono experience in Kyoto, choose the furisode style. Walk down the stone steps at Kiyomizu-dera and capture the moment when the skirt flows. The red walls and green leaves create a strong traditional atmosphere. ▪️ At night, go to Tokyo Tower. Stand on the lawn in Shiba Park and take a half-body photo with the tower as the background. Turn on the flash to instantly boost the ambiance. 💡 Helpful Tips ▪️ Use a Suica card for the subway; you can recharge it at convenience stores, much more convenient than buying single tickets. ▪️ Hot drinks from street vending machines are super comforting. Carry a can of hot cocoa in winter to keep warm while walking. ▪️ Don’t buy souvenirs at tourist spots. Go to local supermarkets to buy Shiroi Koibito and Royce raw chocolate for better value and authenticity.

Tokyo's night has a unique power to calm the soul. Standing atop SHIBUYA SKY, the entire city unfolds like a star map, with lights stretching all the way to the skyscraper jungle of Shinjuku—bustling yet serene. ✨ Why visit at night? • 360° panoramic view: A sea of city lights flows beneath your feet—breathtaking yet understated. • Shibuya's vibrancy × Shinjuku's order: Two distinct Tokyo vibes captured in one experience. • Perfect for lingering: Not just a quick photo op, but a place you'll want to stay and savor. • Emotional recharge: Ideal for quiet reflection alone or sharing a moment with someone special as you take in the night view. Some views aren't just for the 'gram; they're a reminder that, at this moment, you're living life at a certain height in the world. 📍 Location: SHIBUYA SKY / Shinjuku Area 🕗 Recommended time: After sunset until full nightfall 📸 Photo tip: Nights can be windy—dress warmly.

A trip to Japan in freezing cold weather – it was an amazing experience, with cracked hands and dry face, but truly unforgettable! Because this time, Mount Fuji was visible every day, even during the day and at night! Main location: On the way to Lake Kawaguchi, where we'll be staying at a hotel. The view along the way is like this – Mount Fuji showing itself tirelessly all day long. Even though it didn't snow, it was still incredibly impressive. Our goal was achieved! ❤️ If you want to experience freezing temperatures of -7 degrees Celsius (enough to crack your hands), you can stay in the area. There are many hotels to choose from. Early risers can go for a run around the lake and enjoy the fresh morning air. The air is amazing in the mornings! #MountFuji #Kawaguchiko #Japan #Tokyo

🇯🇵 My first time traveling abroad, and I chose Japan! We went during the autumn foliage season 🍁🍂 from November 22-26, 2025. The temperature was 7-14 degrees Celsius, pleasantly cool. 🥰 Day 1: Arrived at Narita Airport at 10:45 AM. The immigration line was incredibly long, over an hour! Then we took the Keisei Skyliner train into Tokyo. After checking into our hotel, we went shopping and ate in Shinjuku. Day 2: Went to Tsukiji Fish Market, followed by Shibuya. Day 3: The moment we'd been waiting for – Mount Fuji! 🗻 We were so lucky with clear skies. We opted for a day trip, taking a bus in the morning and returning in the evening. Day 4: Started the day at Sensoji Temple, then took photos at Meiji Jingu Park, checked in at Tokyo Skytree in the evening, and ended the day with Gyokatsu (grilled beef) in Shinjuku. Day 5: Checked out of the hotel. While waiting for our flight to the airport, we strolled around Ueno. We had breakfast at Ameyoko Market, strolled through Ueno Park, bought souvenirs at Don Quijote, and then took the Keisei train to the airport. 🚄 We traveled entirely by train in Tokyo. We used a 72-hour Tokyo Subway Pass, and when it ran out, we bought a 24-hour extension. It was incredibly cost-effective; we used this one pass for the entire trip on the subway. 💰The main expenses for this trip were 25,625 baht (excluding food and shopping). We booked everything through the Trip.com app, getting great prices and avoiding any problems. 🖇️ Oh, I have to rave about Trip.com! The hotel in Japan requested information through the app's message function, which I wasn't very familiar with and hesitant to provide. So, I asked a Trip.com representative to help, and they were incredibly helpful and quick. This made the trip so fun, happy, and perfect! 🫶🏻🤍 🌼🍁🇯🇵 And yes, Japan is a country I definitely need to visit again. #TravelJapan

📍📍【Recommended Spots】 - Scramble Crossing: It's hard to get a good view, but I managed to get one 😉 Just head to the nearby Magnetic Mall! 🥹 - There's a gacha shop in Shibuya with nearly 2,000 machines!! Exit the station, go straight, cross the traffic lights, and it's right there. ㅠ There's so much to see 💕💕 - Itoya Stationery: I got a really cute diary here ㅜㅜ It's a massive stationery store with 8-9 floors, so make sure you take your time and browse! I shopped for 2 hours ㅎㅎ😵 - Tokyo Tower🗼: Go to the 7-Eleven near Tokyo Tower for a great shot... but honestly, just about anywhere is beautiful!!! 🥘🥘【Recommended Restaurants】 1. Sushiro This is my absolute favorite sushi place in Japan! My favorite among them is the shrimp sushi🍤! If you're wondering why, just try it. It's the best... (I had a picture, but it's gone ㅠㅠㅠㅠ) 2. Imakatsu This is the chicken breast katsu, famous for Choo Sung-hoon's pork cutlet... Wow, it melts in your mouth. I can see why it's so popular. It's so delicious, it's hard to believe it's chicken breast. ㅠㅠ There were even Korean staff! I made a reservation by phone and was able to get in right away :) Otherwise, the wait is long... 😭 3. Lawson Karaage It's that blue-colored karaage! It's so delicious, I can't believe it's convenience store quality. 4. Gintako This is a chain! I had it in Fukuoka and it was so delicious that I had it again at the branch right in front of the Mitsui Garden Hotel. ㅎㅎ 📌If you don't like ginger, I recommend leaving it out!!📌 5. McDonald's McFlurry They have it in Korea, but the Japanese one is seriously delicious... They put so many Oreos in it that you can't help but feel the Oreos. I always eat a McFlurry when I go to Japan☺️ 6. Ippudo Ramen I ate at the Narita Airport branch!! It was simply... delicious and refreshing. It was perfect as my last meal before heading back to Korea!! 🏠🏠【Recommended Hotels】 1. Mitsui Garden Hotel Gotanda That's the lobby view!! The lobby was so prettyㅠㅠ There was a birthday party there, and they even had a towel giveaway like thisㅎ I got some takeout from Gintaco, as I mentioned above, and ate it with the spicy chicken I brought from Koreaㅜㅜ It was so delicious🫶🏻👍🏻 📷📷 【Photo Spots】 •Ginza Go to Ginza on a nice day! The photos come out so wellㅠ •If you stay at Mitsui Garden Gotanda! The street is so pretty with the Meguro River right behind it. That neighborhood playground is also full of emotion… +Uniqlo Custom👚😻 Everyone, just go for an open run. My flight was at 2:00, so I left early and went to Uniqlo Ginza!! I went on the opening run, so I got in right away without waiting. ㅠㅠ They gave me about 15 minutes to make a custom order, so the wait was bound to be long. 🫠 Even when I was doing it, there was already a line behind me! If you like cute things like this, I definitely recommend the opening run! #Tokyo #Restaurant #TokyoTowerPhotoSpot #ScrambleCrossing #Shibuya #GachaShop #LawsonConvenienceStore

Nemuro Hanamaru is a famous conveyor belt sushi chain from Hokkaido, but they also have a branch in Tokyo! We visited the Ginza branch and were very impressed. The fish was fresh, the prices were excellent, and it was the best meal of our trip. ❣️ Recommended Menu Items 🦪 Scallops: Sweet, fresh, and absolutely delicious. 🍣 Fresh Salmon Roe: Slightly salty but incredibly fresh. A must-try! 🥣 Seasonal Specials: Each season features unique menu items. Check out what's on the conveyor belt! ⏰ How to Order: You can request an English menu from the staff. The menu includes numbers; simply write the numbers on the order sheet and specify whether you want wasabi or not. Hand the order sheet to the staff. 🚃 Directions: Take the Ginza Line and get off at Ginza Station, Exit B2. The restaurant is located in the Ginza Six shopping mall. 🫶🏻 Tip: Get a queue ticket in advance and scan the QR code to check your queue status online.

Address 5‑11‑16 Shinjuku, Shinjuku‑ku, Tokyo 160‑0022, Japan Hotel Introduction VIA INN Shinjuku is located in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo, just a 3–4 minute walk from Shinjuku‑sanchōme Station, making it extremely convenient for transportation. The rooms are designed to provide a comfortable space for both business travelers and tourists, equipped with free Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, heating, bathrooms, and basic amenities. The hotel operates a 24-hour front desk and offers facilities such as a laundry room, vending machines, and a secure entry system, ensuring a safe environment especially for women and solo travelers. Thanks to its location, it is ideal for enjoying shopping, dining, and sightseeing in the center of Shinjuku — a hotel that combines both value for money and convenience.

Koishikawa Korakuen Garden in late November is incredibly tranquil. The vibrant mix of red, orange, yellow, and green leaves creates a stunning scenery. There is also a duck pond. The garden opens at 9 AM, with an entrance fee of 300 yen, which is very reasonable. It is easily accessible. It is recommended to visit right when the garden opens to avoid crowds. The garden is not very large. There is also a shop selling warm dango, which is delightful to enjoy in the chilly weather.

Staying in Asakusa is also a great vibe. Walking through Hoppy Street in the morning, it's bustling with restaurants lining both sides. The staff at the front of the store are competing to attract customers, and almost every restaurant is full of customers. Memo stayed at Hotel Tavinos Asakusa, just a 2-minute walk to Sensoji Temple. The price is excellent. A room for 2,240 baht, which sleeps 2 people, works out to 1,120 baht per person (prices fluctuate depending on the season). Memo previously stayed at Hotel Tavinos in Kyoto, which was also a good value. I recommend it to anyone looking for a more affordable hotel. I checked in December, and the prices were about the same. To get to and from Narita/Haneda Airport and Hotel Tavinos Asakusa, you can take the train from Asakusa Station (Toei Asakusa Line). It's a direct connection, but it's a very long walk. Another option is the Airport Limousine Bus, which stops at Asakusa View Hotel, which is a short walk away. From Narita Airport, take the Access Express train and use your IC card to tap. From Haneda Airport, take the Keikyu Airport Line and use your IC card to tap. #traveljapan #hoteltavinos

A review of a new capsule hotel in Tokyo, opening in 2025. This one-tatami-mat tearoom concept is perfect for solo travelers. It costs around 1,000 baht per person per night (there are also private rooms for three). Memo really likes this concept because it's not like the bunk beds of typical capsule hotels, so the room isn't cramped (though it's still small, as is typical in Tokyo). Luggage can be stored under the mattress (with a coded lock). Memo fits one large 29-inch bag, one 20-inch bag, and one backpack perfectly. The bed is very comfortable, and there are privacy curtains like you would find in a typical capsule hotel. There are charging outlets at the head of the bed. The bathroom is clean, and they provide towels, shampoo, soap, conditioner, and a Dyson hair dryer. Self-check-in/check-out via tablet is not available, as there are no staff on-site. This is a drawback, especially if you have a problem, as there is no live staff on-site. However, there is a phone number available if you're in a rush. Alternatively, you can wait until cleaning is scheduled between 10:00 AM and noon. A word of caution: Remember the luggage compartment lock code, or you won't be able to open it. Location: Enso Tokyo Akasaka 100 meters from Tokyo Metro Akasaka Mitsuke Station #JapanTravel#HotelReview #Tokyo

For Harry Potter fans, I recently visited the Harajuku area and found the first Harry Potter Harajuku store in Japan, which just opened in August 2025. The store is large, spanning two floors, and is filled with adorable and must-buy items. Potterheads are sure to spend some money here! The store offers a variety of merchandise, including clothing, keychains, plush toys, candies, wands, and more. On the second floor, there's even a café that serves Butter Beer. Location: Meiji Jingumae Harajuku Subway Station Open daily: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM

#japantrip If you ever find yourself in Tokyo craving a breakfast that feels both luxurious and comforting, No. 4 Cafe is an absolute must-visit. Despite its name, I’d easily rank it No. 1 for French toast lovers! I arrived around 9 AM, waited in a short queue of about ten people, and was soon seated by the window — the perfect spot to enjoy a sunny Tokyo morning. 🍞 The Star: Signature French Toast I had imagined a toast that’s crispy outside and soft inside, but what arrived blew me away: the entire slice was super soft, almost like a custard cake, soaked thoroughly in an egg-and-milk mixture. Each bite was moist, rich, and comforting. The cinnamon flavor was subtle — enough to smell but not overpowering — perfect for those who usually avoid cinnamon. I added vanilla ice cream on top, and the combination of warm toast and cold ice cream was absolute heaven. 🥪 Other Delights • Open Sandwich on Sourdough: soft-yet-chewy bread topped with silky scrambled eggs, a layer of tomato, and crispy bacon. The dish reminded me of tomato scrambled eggs on toast — simple yet oddly satisfying. A few cheese chunks added a tangy kick, balancing the richness. • Soy Latte: I expected a salty twist, but it was mostly mellow roasted soybean flavor, gentle and smooth — a surprisingly refreshing complement to the sweet toast. 💡 Tips • Go early to grab a window seat • Bring a friend to share an open sandwich and toast — the combo is Instagram-worthy • Don’t be afraid of sweetness — their French toast is indulgent, but unforgettable

The ginkgo trees at the University of Tokyo are a must-see highlight for autumn foliage in Tokyo. The atmosphere here is incredibly serene, especially in the early morning when you can spot professors and students cycling around, adding a unique charm to the experience. The iconic large trees of the university offer numerous photo opportunities. When I visited in late November, there were still some green leaves to be seen. If you plan to visit Tokyo to see the ginkgo trees between November and December, don't miss this spot!

The only two things in my Tokyo itinerary that required advance booking were: One was Room 17 at The Prince Park Tower Tokyo 🗼 The other was Shibuya Sky 🌇 I really loved Room 17. Waking up every day to a view of Tokyo Tower 🗼 The bathroom was huge; I did my skincare and makeup facing the 🗼 every day. I could also order room service, and then have 🍞 snap a bunch of photos of me. No need to queue up at popular photo spots anymore 🤣 The hotel's location is also great, just two subway stops away, very convenient for shopping every day! It's very close to Roppongi, so after dinner, you can go see the Christmas illuminations. The sunset at Shibuya Sky is so beautiful. My advice is to definitely go up at least an hour before sunset. Not only are tickets for sunset difficult to get, but you also have to queue for entry at that time. The sunset is fleeting, and you might get stuck in the entry queue 😂 We just happened to miss out on tickets for 3-4 PM (sunset is around this time in November). We entered a little after 2 PM, planning to stay for two hours until after sunset. I originally thought it would be boring, but after entering, we found a bar where for 3600💴 per person, you could have a booth sofa for an hour, with two drinks and a snack per person. Perfect! We relaxed on the sofa for an hour, and when we went out, it was exactly sunset! 🤔 Got a ton of great shots.

#japantrip 📍 teamLab Planets TOKYO, Toyosu, Tokyo, Japan At teamLab Planets you start by locking up your shoes and stepping into the museum barefoot, then the building slowly turns into a dream. You wade through knee-deep water filled with drifting galaxies of light, squeeze between giant red balloons that move with every step, and stand under a ceiling of orchids that lowers itself until you’re eye-level with the flowers. In the dark floral rooms the walls and floor dissolve into moving blossoms, so visitors become silhouettes inside a living painting instead of just people taking photos. It’s an easy winter escape when you want something warm and surreal instead of another chilly temple visit. Tickets are timed, so book ahead and arrive a little early for the lockers. Wear shorts or something you can roll above the knee (you will get wet), and keep your hands free for balance as the floors can be slippery in the water and mirror rooms. The outdoor silver “stone” garden is also worth lingering in — on a cold day the mist and reflections make it feel like you’ve stepped onto another planet right in the middle of Tokyo. Do ✅ • Book a timed ticket in advance, especially on weekends and holidays. • Wear shorts or pants you can roll up, and avoid long skirts or trailing dresses. • Use the lockers for big bags so you can move freely through water and narrow spaces. • Take time to just stand still and let the rooms change around you instead of rushing for photos. Don’t ❌ • Don’t bring large suitcases or tripods — they’ll just get in the way inside. • Don’t sprint through the dark areas; walk slowly so your eyes can adjust and you don’t bump others. • Don’t shine bright phone lights in people’s faces when you shoot; the installations are designed to be seen in low light.

Shiba Park, located in the heart of Tokyo, offers a perfect spot for picnics with a stunning view of Tokyo Tower, surrounded by trees and autumn foliage 🌸🍃🌤️🗼🌇. Although it's not a large park, the vibes are absolutely amazing. It's an ideal place to relax, especially in the evening when the atmosphere becomes even more serene. If you're planning to visit Japan in November, Shiba Park is one of the public parks in Tokyo that we highly recommend.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a highly recommended spot for viewing autumn leaves in Tokyo, especially in late November when the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, and the ginkgo trees display their golden hues. The garden features various zones, including a Japanese garden and a European-style garden. Visitors often spread out mats to enjoy the scenery, which includes water views and little ducks. You can also catch a view of the NTT DoCoMo building from the garden.

🗼 Today, we want to recommend 3 stunning photo spots for capturing Tokyo Tower that photography enthusiasts shouldn't miss! 🗼📸 ✅ Azabudai Hills Mori JP Tower, 33rd Floor This is a beautiful direct view spot on the 33rd floor.

#November Destinations 2025 Sangenjaya Carrot Tower 26th Floor Free Observation Deck Sangenjaya is located in a bustling commercial and residential area of ​​Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, renowned for its blend of modern and retro streetscapes. It's been voted one of the "most desirable places to live" by many Japanese people. While close to Shibuya, it offers a more relaxed pace and boasts trendy cafes, unique eateries, retro shopping streets, and landmarks like the "Carrot Tower." For transportation, it's accessible via the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line or the Setagaya Line. Finding a quiet observation deck to enjoy Tokyo's cityscape without the tourist crowds can be difficult; many famous attractions are either overcrowded or require expensive tickets. However, the "Carrot Tower" at Sangenjaya Station offers a panoramic observation deck! And it's completely free! Carrot Tower is easily accessible, just a 5-minute drive from Shibuya and a mere 1-minute walk from Sangenjaya Station. When we actually visited, we found that the observation deck was practically deserted, with plenty of free seats available for people to sit, rest, and enjoy the view of Tokyo. It's truly a great off-the-beaten-path attraction.

The Tokyo Subway 72-hour pass costs 1,500 yen and is valid for 72 hours. The only limitation is that it cannot be used on JR trains, so it's recommended to have a Suica card as a backup. I stayed near Tamarawachi Station (G18), which is conveniently located on the Ginza Line. It's a great location as it provides direct access to Asakusa, Ueno, and Shibuya. Here’s my 72-hour itinerary: I arrived on the first day and started using the pass immediately, taking the train from the airport to Ueno Station at 4 PM. Day 1 🇯🇵 682 yen - Ueno to Tamarawachi Station: 178 yen - Tamarawachi Station to Shibuya: 252 yen - Return to accommodation: 252 yen Day 2 🇯🇵 356 yen - From accommodation to Hatchobori, then transfer to JR line to Tokyo DisneySea: 178 yen - Return trip: 178 yen Day 3 🇯🇵 848 yen - From accommodation to G04 Aoyama-itchome, then to Meiji Jingu Gaien: 209 yen - Aoyama-itchome to Kyobashi for photos in front of Tokyo Station: 178 yen - Kyobashi to Shinjuku Station: 209 yen - Shinjuku Station back to accommodation: 252 yen Day 4 🇯🇵🗻 Morning: 252 yen - From accommodation to Shinjuku Station: 252 yen Total for 72 hours: 2,138 yen. Even with a Disney trip included, the 72-hour pass is absolutely worth it if you plan to explore Tokyo extensively. One key point to note is that the 72-hour pass is the best value. The 24-hour pass costs 800 yen, which I find less worthwhile unless you plan your routes carefully to avoid JR trains. For those still undecided, you can plan your itinerary and calculate the costs before deciding to purchase the pass. Happy travels! 🌏

Tokyo’s annual Christmas market, held from November 21 to December 25 at Shinjuku Outer-in and Shiba Park, adult admission fee 1000 yen, pre-order tickets on the travel platform also receive a commemorative cup, Meiji Jingu Kaoen with a red cup, Shiba Park with a green cup, you can use this cup to buy drinks. The 2025 event, themed "Grimm's Fairy Tales and European Stories", will be held at the Meiji Jingu Outer Garden and Kashiba Park. Both venues are set up with a 14-meter-high Christmas pyramid, with wooden dolls and lights, like a fantastic scene in a fairy tale book, the biggest highlight of taking photos. After admission, you can enter and exit the venue multiple times throughout the day. There are also magic and song and dance performances. The food will be a little more expensive than eating in a restaurant, the stalls sell almost the same thing, maybe we are unlucky, the one we eat is terrible. In fact, there are similar Christmas markets in skytree, although smaller in scale, but free to enter, selling food at a similar price range. #November Good Places 2025
