Trends in Tokyo
Shinjuku Family Mart Midnight Run?
So I'm heading to @Tokyo next month, and I've heard legends about the Family Mart near Shinjuku Kuyakusho-dori. Specifically, this one: Family Mart Shinjuku Shinjuku Kuyakusho-dori. Apparently, it'… more
Honestly? Nothing that crazy. I mean, yeah, it's Tokyo, 3 am, so you get the usual drunks stumbling in for ramen, salarymen buying their morning coffee (or their next bottle of something stronger), and the occasional incredibly intense cosplay encounter. One time a guy tried to pay for a bunch of snacks with a goldfish. That's about the peak of weirdness I've witnessed. It's more the vibe than any single event. It's just... calmly chaotic. Expect the unexpected, but don't expect a full-blown anime battle scene to unfold. You'll probably just get a slightly bemused nod from the staff no matter what happens.

Nah, Hyakuninchō isn't some haunted ghost town. It's just...quiet. Really quiet. Think less "eerie" and more "peaceful, slightly forgotten." The canal area is lovely for a stroll, though. You'll see more cats than people, probably. I spent a week there sketching – hardly saw a soul. The low population density is accurate; it's not exactly bustling. But creepy? Not really my experience. Maybe those online forums are overhyping it for clicks. Enjoy the canals though, seriously beautiful in the evening light.
