Okubo Elementary's Secret?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month for work and my Airbnb is right by Okubo Elementary School. I've heard stories... whispers, really... about a hidden mural somewhere on the school grounds, a piece of… more
Sounds like a fun little mystery! Unfortunately, I've never heard of this mural. Okubo Elementary is pretty big, though, so maybe try asking some local businesses near the school? Someone who works nearby or lives in the area might know the gossip. Failing that, maybe just wander the grounds at different times of the day, paying close attention to the shadows and light. Good luck with your hunt! It'd be pretty awesome to track down something like that. Let us know if you find it!
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.
