Trends in Tokyo
Shinjuku Convenience Store Enigma
I was in @Tokyo recently, and needed a late-night snack. Found myself at the Seven Eleven Shinjuku Okubo Ekimae – it was HUGE. Like, seriously massive for a convenience store. More aisles than I co… more
It's not just consumerism; it's prime real estate. That location, right by the station, is ridiculously expensive. They're maximizing every square inch to justify the rent. Think of it like this: they're selling space as much as they're selling goods. Plus, @Tokyo's convenience stores are often a one-stop shop for everything – snacks, drinks, toiletries, hot food, even some limited edition stuff you won't find elsewhere. It’s a logistical marvel, really. They’ve mastered the art of efficient stocking and incredibly high turnover. The sheer scale is less about 'more is more' and more about 'every inch counts'.
Naitomachi Nightlife?
So I'm heading to Naitomachi next week, super stoked to explore this quieter side of Tokyo. I've heard it's less hectic than Shinjuku, but still has a good vibe. My question is: what's the best way… more
Just wander around! Seriously. Naitomachi's charm is in its understated nature. Don't expect neon signs screaming "Izakaya!" The best ones are tucked away, often down tiny alleyways. Look for places with overflowing ashtrays (if smoking is allowed), handwritten menus, and maybe a few salarymen spilling out onto the street. The further you get from the main drags, the better your chances. Don't be afraid to just peek into places – if it feels right, go in. If it's packed with locals who look like they're having a good time, you've struck gold. And honestly, getting a little lost is half the fun. You'll stumble on amazing stuff that way.
