Trends in Tokyo
Yodobashi Fourth's Secret?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and my niece goes to Yodobashi Dai Yon Shōgakkō – that's what her mama calls it, anyway. Apparently, there's some kind of legendary playground story? Something about… more
Nah, it's not a basketball court or a tunnel. It's way more mundane, sadly. The "secret" is a tiny, overgrown section of the school grounds they keep locked up—basically, a neglected little patch with some old, rusty equipment. Kids build up the mystery around it, you know? It's all about the forbidden fruit aspect, nothing more. Think overgrown weeds, maybe a broken swing set… not exactly Indiana Jones territory. Still, if your niece is into it, I suppose it's cute she has her own little local legend.
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.
