A word of warning: the temple is dedicated to Benzaiten, a goddess of love who seems to have a jealous streak. It is said she places a curse on happy couples who dare to visit the...
Kitty-chan~! This place is cute and is gushing with Sanrio merchandise. If you like gushingly cute, come on in. I always go for the stationary first, but the bags were equally cute. Some of the st...
This zoo has so many animals and a great opportunity to really get up and close, smell them, and take pictures.
There is free entry to the place on Tokyo Citizen's day (already passed for Oct 1, 200...
Awesome slice of nature in the middle of the concrete jungle. The weekends can be quite crowded with expats and Japanese having picnics and playing around. Very tranquil during the week, a great place...
KiddyLand!! I love KiddyLand! If you aren't a kid, it's okay, you're sure to recognize a lot of these Japanese icons they sell here. If you're my age, some of them might even cater to your own chil...
Ueno Koen is one of the more delightful places in Tokyo. It's quite large, so there are always many various things going on. There are grassy areas, large walking paths and a large pond. When I was th...
Kids & Infants, Anime Merchandise, Fun Shops ( Ueno )
Yamashiroya is a little crowded but I think worth the stop. Again, I can't keep myself away from toy stores. Even if I don't buy anything, I can't help but look around and enjoy what they have to of...
I went to Ueno Zoo after going to see the Cherry Blossoms. It wasn't too crowded, which was a nice change. It has a very nice layout, and has several species, several of which you will not see in the ...
I thought this place was on the verge of being a little expensive, but not much considering how much everything else costs in Tokyo. I bought a few things here for the office and my dad, which he rea...
They managed to modernize old Japan in a very comfortable and not in your face way. Wa is becoming more and more popular in Japan and The Cover does a nice job at doing it without taking away the old...
This garden was a great little find. While it was really small, it was a beautiful little escape from the business of Tokyo. Another great aspect was that it was free. It takes only a few minutes t...
Fun Shops, Shopping-Others, Interior Design & Furniture ( Daikanyama )
Looking for something odd at a decent price? Come here. Some of the items inside are a little.. off, but would make a great gag gift. There are some really nice things in here too that you just mig...
I though Takao san would be a really nice change of pace from the very urban Tokyo. I had a lovely time but I never felt like I left the city. The hiking trails were quite small and it was extremely t...
I've loved legos ever since I could remember. Now, you might think "Hey, what's in this store for me?" as an adult. Well, a lot of things. There's more than just LEGO build sets, but clot...
Muji may be my favorite store in Japan. As a college student, its as if someone had peeked into my brain, anticipated everything I ever needed on an average day, and put it all into one store. Everyth...
Preschools / International schools / Kindergartens ( Meguro )
My daughter attends Kikokushijo Academy International School (KAIS). She had tried 5 different international schools in Tokyo and finally found the one she loves. The teachers are young yet experience...
