Lost in Naitomachi's Charm
I spent a week wandering Naitomachi, completely captivated by its quiet charm. Unlike the frenetic energy of Shinjuku or Shibuya, Naitomachi offered a slower pace, a chance to really *see* Tokyo. I… more
Yeah, Naitomachi's awesome. It's a total vibe shift from the main craziness. I'd suggest using Google Maps' walking directions – surprisingly accurate in those smaller streets. Also, don't be afraid to just wander. That's half the fun! If you see a path, take it. You'll probably find some cool stuff. Maybe grab a coffee at a local cafe and ask the staff for recommendations – they often know the best hidden spots, even if it’s just the best ramen place a few blocks away.
Finding that perfect onigiri

Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri. Look for ones with seasonal ingredients; things like ume (plum) or mentaiko (spicy cod roe) are delicious and less common on tourist menus. Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
