Shinjuku City

The nights in Tokyo are always irresistible. Walking on the bustling streets, each street lamp seems to be telling an unfinished story. The neon lights on the side of the street flicker with charming light, as if leading you into another dreamy world. From Shinjuku to Shibuya, every corner is filled with different colors and vitality. Whether it's the towering skyscrapers or the quaint izakayas, they all shine with their own light under the night sky. Everyone who passes by could become the protagonist in your story. Pick up your camera and capture these moments. The nights in Tokyo always have endless possibilities waiting for you to discover. Let these beautiful moments become the most precious memories of your journey. Whether you are a solitary traveler or with friends, the nights in Tokyo have different experiences waiting for you to explore. Let the lights of this city guide you, to discover a different self.

After nightfall, Tokyo exudes a charm even more captivating than during the day. Neon signs flicker and leap among the skyscrapers, injecting new vitality into the night. Sensoji Temple Most visitors to Tokyo choose to go to Shibuya or Roppongi to experience the rich and colorful nightlife, but for decades, even centuries, Asakusa has been the place where locals go to relax after sunset. Sensoji Temple, Tokyo's oldest temple, welcomes the last group of visitors praying for blessings at night. After sunset, Sensoji Temple usually lights up until 11 pm. The cherry tree in the temple is just in full bloom. Before going out for a night meal, you can enjoy the unique charm of Sensoji Temple at night. Transportation: Take the Ginza Line, Asakusa Line, or Tobu Railway to get to Asakusa Station. It's a 5-minute walk from the station to Sensoji Temple. Kabukicho Ichibangai Shinjuku's Kabukicho is dazzling with neon lights and bustling with people, one of the most densely populated areas in Tokyo. It is said to be the busiest and most densely populated downtown area in Asia, and possibly the world. When you come to Yasukuni Street, you will see the huge Don Quijote store, which is a landmark of Kabukicho Street. Booking a hotel nearby without knowing the world, you will see a different Japan, not so clean, not so tidy, not so orderly, and even blonde guys coming up to chat. It is not recommended for girls to stay here. However, dining and shopping are still OK, with various restaurants and bars gathered here, the neon-lit nightlife is extraordinarily lively. Transportation: Kabukicho is a 5-minute walk from the JR Shinjuku Station East Exit, and also close to the Fukutoshin Line, Marunouchi Line, and Seibu Shinjuku Line stations. Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho If you want to avoid the crowds for dining, you can turn into the small alleys to find food. Golden Gai and Omoide Yokocho are not officially part of Kabukicho, but they are very close by, with many atmospheric small bars and barbecue stalls. Both streets have crisscrossing alleys with a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, just like the mood in Japanese dramas. The festive atmosphere, which is a stark contrast to the metropolis, is like a late-night diner, where each diner has their own story.

#familytrips2024 Exploring Shinjuku with my family was a vibrant adventure filled with sensory delights. As we stepped out of the bustling train station, the neon lights and bustling crowds immediately immersed us in the energetic atmosphere of this iconic Tokyo district. We wandered through the vibrant streets, passing by towering skyscrapers, traditional izakayas, and quirky shops. From indulging in delicious street food to marveling at the serene beauty of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, every moment was filled with excitement and discovery. It was a day of laughter, exploration, and bonding that left us with cherished memories of our time in Tokyo. Looking ahead to our next dream destination, we're drawn to the stunning landscapes and cultural richness of Peru. Imagining our family trekking through the majestic Andes Mountains, exploring the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, and immersing ourselves in the vibrant markets of Cusco fills us with excitement. Peru offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and natural beauty, promising an unforgettable journey for our family. From savoring traditional Peruvian cuisine to connecting with the local communities, it's a destination that holds the promise of enriching experiences and lasting memories for us to cherish together.

#cherryblossom2024 In April, Tokyo is enveloped in a cloud of delicate pink sakura petals, and places where you can admire flowers are scattered throughout the city. In the Shinjuku area, it is best to go to Shinjuku Geen Park, which is literally drowned in the foam of petals. Shinjuku Gyoen can be easily reached on foot from Shinjuku, Sendagaya or Shinjuku Gyoen Mae Stations. The closest exit from Shinjuku Station to the park is south-east. From there, you will have to walk no more than ten minutes. The hanami season is usually short and difficult to predict—but not in Shinjuku Gyoen. There are more than 65 species of sakura growing here, so the flowering period seems endless. The first sakura "kanzakura" (winter cherry) begins to bloom — in February. Then, in early April, "somei yoshino" blooms, followed by "baigo—ji juzukakezakura" (cherry from the Baigo-ji temple), and then, at the end of April— sakura "kanzan". There is no such fuss and pandemonium in Shinjuku Gyoen as in other parks. Smoking and alcohol are prohibited, and a small fee is charged for admission, so there is a quieter and more peaceful atmosphere here. The park is good throughout the flowering season, but if possible, it is better to choose the middle of April. Then you can see how sakura "somei yoshino" is already starting to release young green leaves, while everything around is covered with a solid carpet of pink petals.
