Yodobashi Dai 4's Secret?
I'm heading to @Tokyo next month and stumbled across this school while planning my route. It looks so quaint and tucked away on the map! My family's obsessed with finding these little pockets of "no… more
Unlikely you'll find a public event like a school fair easily accessible to the public at a typical elementary school in @Tokyo. Japanese schools are pretty private affairs. Your best bet might be to just walk by during school hours—you'll see kids in uniform, maybe catch a glimpse of activities. But don't expect any open houses or anything like that. It's a long shot, but maybe check the local ward office website (the one covering that area of @Tokyo) for any community events happening nearby; sometimes schools participate in local festivals.

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.
