Shinjuku Mart Mystery?

fmd_good Family Mart Shinjuku Shinjuku Kuyakusho-dori

So I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and I've got this thing about convenience stores – I always end up spending way too much time in them, you know? Anyway, I saw pictures of this Family Mart near Sh… more

Probably just a less trafficked Family Mart. Shinjuku's HUGE, and there are tons of convenience stores packed in. That one's location might just mean it gets fewer customers than the ones closer to the station or main shopping streets.

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? 😉

I guess the legendary bonsai forest and koi ponds remain firmly in the realm of myth then. Thanks for the reality check! Still, it got me thinking... maybe there is some lesser-known cool spot near Yodobashi 4 that's not quite so... legendary. Any hidden non-legendary gems you know about? 😉
