Kanto High's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Kanto International High School next week for a conference. Heard it's a pretty prestigious place, and the architecture is supposed to be amazing – apparently, there's this whole… more
My uncle was a janitor there for ages. He swore blind the "secret wing" was just storage – old textbooks, broken equipment, that sort of thing. The "secret society" was probably just a particularly tight-knit group of students. Disappointing, I know, but that's what he told me. Still, the main building’s architecture is stunning; you won't be disappointed with that. Maybe your friend was just pulling your leg. Plenty of cool stuff to see in @Tokyo outside the school, too!

Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri.

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.
