Nah, you're not alone. Tokyo's got a million tiny, weird pockets of energy like that. Probably just a really good location, maybe near a salaryman after-work spot or something, that makes it seem intense. The super polite staff? That's just standard Tokyo customer service, taken to the next level. The melon pan? Probably just a really good baker. The trench coat guy? Dude, that's @Tokyo for ya. Don't overthink it; enjoy the mystery. It's part of the charm.

Maybe she was the one with the secret, hidden imagination? 😉

Haha, yeah, I figured it was a bit of a stretch! She's a notorious storyteller, so I should've seen that coming. 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? 😉
