At Hachioji Taki-yama Roadside Station, I grabbed some fresh vegetables and warm okara! I also enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with delicious bread in the eat-in space. I'll share tips on avoiding crowds and getting great deals during weekdays.

Visited Shinagawa Shrine, washed money in the Dragon's sacred water for good fortune! Then enjoyed freshly baked bread and handmade rice crackers in the shopping street.

We visited Ebara Shrine! We admired the dragon statue, perfect for the Year of the Dragon. With the shrine's blessings that grant all wishes, I had a feeling my wish would come true!

Visited Toyosu Senkyakubanrai on its second day! Amazed by the seafood bowls' prices and enjoyed exquisite broth at Odawara Rokuzemon. Relaxed in a footbath while exploring Toyosu Market."

Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple is a unique temple with an exotic atmosphere, featuring Indian-style architecture. If you're lucky, you can participate in the morning service, where the powerful chanting is sure to leave you in awe. It’s also conveniently located just a short walk from Tsukiji Market.
