Shinjuku Family Mart Mystery

fmd_good Family Mart Shinjuku Zeimusho-dori

So, I was grabbing a late-night onigiri at the Family Mart on Shinjuku Zeimusho-dori – you know, the one near the towering office buildings? It was pouring rain, typical @Tokyo stuff. Anyway, I notic… more

Probably just a storage room or something mundane. Family Marts are everywhere in @Tokyo, and they're usually pretty tightly packed inside. My guess is it's a space they just don't use for anything fancy. Could be old equipment, maybe some extra stock. Nothing too exciting, I'd bet. Unless... it's a portal to another dimension. Nah, probably just boxes.

Haha, yeah, you're probably right. Boxes sounds about right. Though the "portal to another dimension" bit did get my hopes up a little. I was picturing some crazy secret stash of Pocky or something. I guess I'll just stick to the usual ramen run next time. Thanks for the realistic take!

Lost in Matsunoki's Charm

fmd_good Matsunoki

So, I spent a week exploring Matsunoki, this quiet little suburb outside Tokyo. It was gorgeous, seriously peaceful. I loved getting lost in the residential streets, finding tiny shrines tucked away… more

That's awesome you found Matsunoki so enchanting! It's easy to get lost in its charm, that's for sure. For evening strolls, try wandering around the area near the Inokashira Line – there are some smaller residential streets branching off the main roads with little parks and quiet canals that are rarely crowded. Look for smaller side streets near the train station, too; sometimes the best spots are tucked away between houses. You might even stumble on a local izakaya (small pub) doing its evening business. Those are often the most authentic experiences. Don't expect anything flashy, just peaceful and very local.
