100 Yen Shops, Groceries/Supermarkets ( Shinjuku )
I live near what used to be a 99 shop. In addition to selling all the things you'd expect a 100 yen shop to sell, they also carry food! I stay well away from the meats, but the rest of the selection...
A nice place to look around, but I feel it's just a more specialized 100 yen shop. In terms of kitchen ware, I'd say about half the items are available in the more accessible stores of Cando or Daiso...

Cosmetics & Beauty Supplies, Fun Shops, Food-Others ( Shinjuku )
Seemingly intriguing from the outside, once I actually entered the shop I found it to be little more than loud music and pink walls. It obviously tries to present the image that only the coolest produ...
Hanazono Jinja is conveniently located close to Shinjuku station, so you can get a few prayers in without missing your lunch hour. But seriously, Hanazono is a nice little Jinja to visit. There's no E...
Unfortunately, this park closes at 5 like most others in Japan. The grass is fuller in this park than I've seen elsewhere and the scenery is picture perfect. It makes a great place for a picnic, aside...
