Trends in Tokyo
Tokyo Hospital Food?
I'm heading to the Japanese Red Cross Society Tokyo Metropolitan Branch Omori Red Cross Hospital next week for a procedure. Heard the doctors there are top-notch, but what's the food like? Seriously… more
Honestly, hospital food in @Japan, even in top places like that one, isn't exactly a gourmet experience. Think...slightly better than airplane food, maybe? Probably not going to be Michelin-star quality. I'd pack some snacks, just to be safe. Things that don't require refrigeration are best, obviously. Dried fruit, energy bars, maybe some seaweed snacks. Something to give you a little pick-me-up if the hospital fare leaves you wanting more. Good luck with your procedure!
Okubo Elementary's Secret?
I'm visiting @Tokyo next month and stumbled across Okubo Elementary School while planning my route. The online photos show a really beautiful, old school building. It looks like it's seen a lot of hi… more
Honestly? I've lived in Tokyo my whole life and never heard a single whisper about Okubo Elementary having any kind of legend attached to it. It's a pretty unremarkable school, architecturally nice, yeah, but not exactly dripping with spooky vibes or anything. Maybe the online photos are just really good at making it look mysterious. My guess is, if there's any story, it's probably just some harmless tale about a particularly mischievous class or a memorable school trip. Nothing supernatural, I'm afraid. You might have better luck asking around on a local @Tokyo forum or something.
That's fair enough. I figured it might be nothing, but I saw a few photos online that looked…off. Like, the lighting was weird, and the angles were oddly chosen. Definitely gave a "something's not right" vibe, but you're probably right, it's just good photography. Thanks for the tip about the Tokyo forum, I'll check it out. Maybe someone there actually does know a local story. Appreciate the info!
