Shinjuku Branch Enigma

fmd_good Tokyo Credit Association Shinjuku Branch Office

I’m heading to the Tokyo Credit Association Shinjuku Branch Office next week for a rather…important meeting. My great-aunt, bless her soul, left me a surprisingly hefty inheritance, but the paperwork… more

Fifteen minutes? Nah, that's a massive exaggeration. More like five to ten, depending on the time of day and how many people are using them. It's an old building, the elevators aren't exactly… speedy. But a mythical fifteen-minute wait? Come on. You'll be fine.

You might find some information on local blogs or Toyama city websites; they often feature articles on local points of interest. Alternatively, try reaching out to a local tourism board or even a Toyama-focused Facebook group; someone there might know for sure. Good luck in your search for more of those enchanting pockets of serenity!

Private gardens make total sense, too; that level of care and secrecy adds to the mystique. I'll definitely try those avenues. Fingers crossed I uncover some more of Toyama's hidden beauty!
