Day 3 of Tokyo, Japan travel itinerary

#Travel Course 1. Komeraku ⏰ Business hours: 11:00~22:00 Japanese ochazuke (お茶漬け) is a dish where you put toppings on rice and pour tea (or broth) over it. At Komeraku, you can enjoy ochazuke with various toppings (salmon, unagi, tuna, etc.). It has a soft and light taste, so it's easy to eat without feeling burdened! 😋 I heard there might be a long wait, so I went right at the opening time and was able to enter right away~ 👉 Recommended menu! ✔️ Salmon and ikura (salmon roe) ochazuke 🐟 ✔️ Karaage 2. Hanazono Shrine ⏰ Business hours: Open 24 hours 💰 Admission: Free It's a traditional shrine located in the heart of Tokyo. It's small, but the atmosphere is very peaceful. There were a lot of people, maybe because it was New Year's! ✔️ A shrine where you can pray for your wishes and love luck ✔️ 5-minute walk from Shinjuku 3. Isetan Shinjuku 🏬 ⏰ Operating hours: 10:00~20:00 This is a top-class department store representing Tokyo. The food section is especially famous, so it's great for buying traditional Japanese sweets and desserts. 🎁 I thought the department store would be too complicated, so I looked up the places I wanted to see in advance on the floor guide! ✔️ Noir de Beurre (a great place to eat financiers) on the first basement floor: There's a bit of a wait, so make sure to leave plenty of time. I think I waited about 20~30 minutes. 4. Shinjuku Gyoen ⏰ Operating hours: 9:00~16:30 (Last admission at 16:00) 💰 Admission: Adults 500 yen, students 250 yen, children free (You can use the Welcome Suica!) This is a large park where you can enjoy nature in the middle of Tokyo! Starbucks inside the park is also famous for its great view~ ✔️ A harmonious combination of a Japanese garden, French garden, and lawn ✔️ The best place to visit during cherry blossom season (spring) and autumn foliage season (fall) 5. Beams Japan ⏰ Operating hours: 11:00~20:00 If you're looking for local Japanese brands, Beams Japan is the place to go! There are many Tokyo-only goods and unique fashion items, so it's a great place to buy souvenirs. ✔️ Street fashion & lifestyle items with a Japanese feel ✔️ 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station 6. Horumon Futago ⏰ Operating hours: 17:00~23:30 If you like meat, you must try hormone (tripe) in Shinjuku! 'Hormone Futago' is a tripe specialty restaurant popular with locals. You can taste fresh tripe and various cuts of beef. 🥩 There is a Korean menu and the meat is grilled, so it's easy to eat👍👍 ✔️ Recommended menu! ✅ Assorted hormone (gopchang + makchang + yeottong) ✅ Thick beef ribs grilled 7. Omoide Yokocho ⏰ Most stores open from 17:00 to 24:00 This place, which means 'Memory Alley', is full of retro sensibility. Small izakayas are packed in a narrow alley, so you can really enjoy the local Japanese atmosphere! The stores are small and there are a lot of people, so I went into any empty seats, but it was so delicious~ The place I visited only accepted cash. Just in case, make sure to bring cash! ✔️ Recommended yakitori (chicken skewers), sake, and Asahi draft beer ✔️ A bar with a nice atmosphere that local office workers visit after work #Japan travel #Tokyo travel #Japan Tokyo travel #Tokyo travel schedule #Shinjuku travel
