GRANSTA TOKYO
GRANSTA TOKYO is JR East’s largest train station mall. The huge open space with the sign “SQUARE ZERO” hosts select sweets shops, cafes, restaurants and general stores, which looks like a town itself.
Not really a tourist spot, but it’s a nice place to browse around.
If you like shopping, you can easily spend a long time here. -

Hydrangea Park (Kodaira City)
This park was opened in 1973 with the aim of becoming a famous hydrangea garden. Hydrangeas are planted throughout the cozy park, which takes advantage of the oak, konara oak, and other trees left in the hollows.
June is the perfect time to visit. The hydrangeas are in full bloom, covering the park—it's really soothing.

YAMADA TAX FREE Narita Airport Terminal 1 Store
YAMADA TAX FREE Narita Airport Terminal 1 Store is the airport's only electronics specialty shop located inside the terminal, dedicated to providing "Japanese Quality for Travelers." Step inside for spacious aisles, clear product displays, and a thoughtful design ethos that makes shopping smooth and easy.
They have a pretty good selection—cameras, headphones, game consoles. If you need to pick up something before your trip, there are plenty of options. Sometimes they even have coupons or extra discounts, so the prices can be quite reasonable.
