Okubo Elementary's Secret?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and my cousin's kid goes to Okubo Elementary School. Apparently, there's a legend about a hidden playground somewhere on the school grounds – only the kids know abou… more
Sounds like a mission! Good luck. Okubo Elementary is pretty big, right? My nephew went there years ago, never heard that rumor. Maybe try asking around politely when you're visiting. Older kids, maybe even some parents hanging around at pickup time... you'll never know until you try. If all else fails, just enjoy the rest of @Tokyo; it's got plenty to offer beyond secret playgrounds. Shinjuku Gyoen's park is indeed kinda boring, though. That place is more for strollers and elderly folks than for exploring.
Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku
So I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard the building's pretty massive, a proper maze. Anyone been there? Seriously worried about getting lost trying to find… more
Yeah, Belle Salle Shinjuku is a monster. I've been to a few events there, and it's always a bit of a scramble. Download their floor plan before you go – seriously, do it now. Print it out if you’re old school like me. Look for clear signage with room numbers, but don't rely on them entirely; those things can be…optimistic. Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!
