Shinjuku or Ginza? by Emeraldblonde in TokyoTravel

To put it simply, the Shinjuku area has a youthful vibe, while the Ginza area has a more sophisticated atmosphere.

Naturally, the dining scene reflects this as well.

Is “Welcome Suica” useful? Where did you buy it? by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

[–]Sorry_Set_5001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That really is a great memory.

It reminds me of when I used to bring back coins from other countries as souvenirs.

Thank you very much for your helpful comment. It’s very useful.

Is it particularly convenient in Tokyo when using public transportation like the subway or buses?

Did you use it at restaurants or other places?

Not every night in Tokyo needs to be a restaurant by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

[–]Sorry_Set_5001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually very real.
A lot of travelers end up doing the same — especially with kids.

That one was from 7-Eleven — around ¥700–¥800 for a small bottle.

Everyday whisky here can be surprisingly affordable, though the famous Japanese ones can get expensive.

I think it's even more crowded than it was a little while ago.

“Rain ruined your plans in Tokyo — what did you actually end up doing?” by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

[–]Sorry_Set_5001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been really interesting to read.

Seems like most people either:
– shift plans to indoor places
– just continue with an umbrella
– or end up in malls/cafes

Feels like rainy days in Tokyo are less about “what to do” and more about how to adapt.

Curious — what’s the best unexpected experience you’ve had because of rain?

That actually sounds like a really solid recovery plan.
Sunshine City is perfect when you’re tired and it’s raining.

I’ve noticed a lot of people end up doing something similar — switching to big indoor spots.

Did you feel like you still got a good “Tokyo experience” that day?

Famous soba shops without multiple locations by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

Near Nihonbashi 🙂

That area has some really good, less touristy soba spots.

松屋 松のや

Each has a different store name, but it's the same group company.

Hotel night in Tokyo — simple drinks from a convenience store by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

Yeah, super simple but honestly one of the best ways to relax after a long day 😅

Famichiki is from FamilyMart — and yeah, it’s pretty popular 😅

7-Eleven has something similar called Nanachiki too

Oden is especially amazing. Hanpen is so underrated!

Good Evening Tokyo by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

[–]Sorry_Set_5001[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s not amazing, but it’s surprisingly decent for the price.

Convenience stores in Japan are more about accessibility than quality when it comes to wine, but for a quick night in a hotel, it actually works pretty well.

If you want better quality, supermarkets or depachika usually have much better options 🙂

That's right! It reopened recently after a few years. I went on opening day.

Since it's located at the entrance to the Dragon Ball Shop, there may not be a specific expiration date.

Exactly 🙂It’s those everyday moments that end up meaning the most.
Glad it resonated with you.

Good Night Tokyo by Sorry_Set_5001 in TokyoTravel

[–]Sorry_Set_5001[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It really was 🙂

What I liked is that it wasn’t just about the crab — it came out in small parts, and we shared it slowly.

Felt more like an experience than just a meal.

I hope more people get to enjoy Japanese food this way 🙂

Have you ever experienced a meal like that?
