I tried a little bit of each sake—ended up mixing 5 or 6 different kinds. I felt a bit tipsy just walking around!

SoLaDo Takeshita Street
Located on the iconic youth culture hub of Takeshita Street in Harajuku, SoLaDo is a colorful fashion building spanning four floors-from the basement to the third floor. Inside, you'll find a wide range of “kawaii” items that teens love, including fashion, accessories, lifestyle goods, snacks, and sweets.
This place is a paradise for young people! There are so many trendy clothes, cute accessories, and dessert shops inside. The prices are pretty reasonable too, so it’s great for shopping and finding hidden gems. The whole vibe is lively and adorable—if you love Japanese fashion, you can’t miss it!

Shinagawa Shrine
Shinagawa Shrine was founded in 1187 as a place for marine traffic safety and prayer realizations. During the shrine’s annual festival, which takes place in early June every year, portable shrines called “mikoshi” are carried around town, and many people come to celebrate.
I thought it was pretty close, but it actually took me 20 minutes to walk from the station. Plus, there's a really steep staircase you have to climb.

The Tokyo Station Hotel
This hotel was built in 1915 in Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi Station building and was restored to its original state in 2012. The Tokyo Station’s Marunouchi Station building has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property and a symbol of Tokyo.
The classic exterior design and super convenient location make staying at this century-old hotel feel truly luxurious.
