Tokyo Station Ichibangai

Tokyo Station Ichibangai is truly a place you won't want to leave! Located right outside Tokyo Station, this super popular shopping area is filled with fascinating themed sections. My favorite is the Character Street, featuring specialty stores for Pokémon, Doraemon, and Sumikko Gurashi—everything is so adorable, it's hard not to buy something! There are also tons of Japan-exclusive items, making them perfect souvenirs. If you get hungry, you can head to Ramen Street, where every shop looks delicious. I tried a miso ramen, which was rich and comforting. The overall atmosphere is lively yet orderly. I highly recommend setting aside time to explore this spot when visiting Tokyo!
