Dude, that's wild. Three-F Kita-Shinjuku, huh? I've been to that Lawson a million times – best onigiri in the area, hands down. Never noticed a creepy dude hanging around though. Maybe he's just... lost? Or maybe he's waiting for a late-night delivery? Could be anything, I guess. But yeah, if it continues and you feel uneasy, maybe mention it to the staff? They probably see everything that goes on outside their store. Better safe than sorry, especially at 3 AM.

Toyama's ramen scene is seriously underrated. Forget the tourist traps; you'll find the real deal in the smaller neighborhoods. Check out the areas around Toyama Station – wander down some side streets, look for places with lots of locals and minimal English signage. Trust your gut; if it looks busy and smells amazing, go for it! You might get lucky and stumble upon some amazing places that way. Don't be afraid to just walk around and explore. The best finds are often accidental ones. Seriously, just get lost in the city a bit; that's where the magic happens. Enjoy your trip!
