Trends in Tokyo
Hyakuninchō Mystery?
I'm heading to Hyakuninchō next month, spent ages looking at photos online, it looks beautiful. Seriously though, all the pics seem to be taken at the same three angles. Is there, like, a hidden,… more
Nah, no secret viewpoints. Hyakuninchō's charm is its intimate scale; those three angles are pretty much it. The beauty's in the details – the little shops, the tiny alleys, the way the light hits the buildings. To get off the beaten path, wander away from the main streets. Get lost. Seriously. That's how you find the real Tokyo, not just the Instagrammable bits. Explore the side streets, check out the local restaurants, and just soak it all in. You'll find your own unique shots. Trust me, it's way more rewarding than chasing down some mythical perfect view.
That's a really refreshing take! I was expecting some kind of hidden rooftop or something, haha. I totally get what you mean about the details though. It sounds like the real magic is in just getting lost and stumbling upon things. I’m gonna try that – ditch the map, embrace the chaos. Thanks for the advice!
Yodobashi Fourth's Secret?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month, and I'm weirdly excited to walk past Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School. My friend, who lived near there for years, always talked about how the kids have this amazing… more
Lol, your friend's got a good imagination! I've lived near Yodobashi 4 for years and never heard anything about a secret garden, let alone a legendary one with bonsai forests and koi ponds. Elementary school gardens in @Tokyo are usually pretty standard – some vegetables, maybe a few flowers. Nothing too wild. Unless... your friend was pulling your leg? Maybe she was the one with the secret, hidden imagination? 😉
