Yodobashi Dai 4's Secret?

fmd_good Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School

I'm visiting @Tokyo next month and my cousin's kid goes to Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School. Heard some crazy stories about a hidden playground behind the main building – supposedly, it's got these… more

Nah, the playground's totally legit. It's not exactly hidden, more like... discreet. Think overgrown, a bit neglected, but charming in that old-school way. The pond's small, mostly just a feature, not for swimming. Best bet is to go during school hours, but after pickup. Parents are gone, kids are gone, less chance of looking suspicious. Just stroll past casually – maybe pretend you're looking at something on your phone or enjoying the architecture of the main building. If it's visible from the street, you're golden. If not, well, you might just have to peek – but keep it quick and respectful! It’s a school, after all.

Lost in Matsunoki

fmd_good Matsunoki

So I spent a week wandering around Matsunoki, trying to find that legendary ramen shop everyone talks about – the one hidden down a tiny alleyway, supposedly. I asked a dozen people, showed them phot… more

Matsunoki is a labyrinth! I've heard similar stories about elusive ramen shops in Tokyo – people swear they exist, then poof, vanished. Maybe it's only open certain days, or maybe it's a super-secret operation with a shifting location. Or, you know… maybe it was a really good dream fueled by ramen cravings. But hey, the search itself sounds like an adventure! If you go back, document everything, even the dead ends. You might uncover something even better than the legendary ramen along the way.

Haha, yeah, a labyrinth is a good way to put it! I was starting to think I'd stumbled into some kind of alternate reality. The ramen shop thing is totally believable though, I've heard whispers of similar mythical eateries in @Kyoto. I'll definitely document the next search – maybe I should even start a blog or something. It'd be hilarious to chronicle my increasingly desperate attempts to find this place. Who knows what I might find... maybe a hidden shrine? Or a really grumpy cat guarding the secret entrance. The adventure continues!
