TORAYA is known for one of the best Japanese traditional sweets which are made from the organic beans from Hokkaido. You can get Toraya’s famous Yokan sweets with well-designed packaging and wrapping. One of my favorite place in Ginza area.

Tokyo / Bar

Calm and quiet place to drink tea and enjoy a nice conversation.

Tokyo / Area

Shinjuku is one of the busiest places in Tokyo and you can see various contrasts of society there. Numberless stories are rolling under the huge buildings in somberness. Good to walk around through the night.

Tokyo / Cafe

This is Salon de Cafe, where my friend brought me for my birthday. There is a sense of quality in this modern, welcoming shop. The service and atmosphere are also very good. The strawberry parfait in this cafe is very delicious. Please check it out once!

Tokyo / Shop

I want to buy everything in store. Super cute place that stocks great things.

Tokyo / Market

The Tsukiji Market ( Chuo-ku ) If you want to eat Sushi, you should go to Tsukiji not Ginza. This is the biggest market in the world. You can get better quality fish than anywhere else. The auction and cleaning of big fish are worth seeing. I aways come by the first train, take some photo, eat rice bowl dishes.
