[ Google Review ] Narita airport is a nice one! It seems like not too many people are using it for awhile due to the COVID but I enjoyed the nice old building as well as the renovated terminal. Some of the terminals seem to have some display areas so it should be fun to look around! My only wish is that terminal 3 should have more stores open until later days since many close at 7 pm or earlier… Anyways, keep up the good work! Cheers 🥂
Culture Village Hanada (Check In)
[ Google Review ] Skygarden at the 17F. Beautifully illuminated in the evenings ! ❤️
[ Google Review ] Be ready to spend a bit, even if you’re just going alone! I managed a mixed (non-alcoholic) drink and pastry for about ¥1600, and I got some of the cheaper items. However, the menu and building are unlike any regular Starbucks location, in the best way. Interior design and environment was stunning, and absolutely photo-worthy. Depending on the time, most customers will first have to receive a queue number outside beside the main building. It won’t be hard to find - there are employees giving directions and other customers doing the same as you. Service was quick, despite the somewhat long lines and complexity of many of the menu items. There are four floors, three of which serve various food items and drinks, including pizza, pie pastries, classic cakes, tarts (and more that I can’t pronounce), etc. You can enjoy your purchases on any floor, and the top floors have outdoor balconies. Drinks ranged from simple coffee brews to mixtures I’ve never even considered, like what I ordered: orange soda and iced coffee. In the same glass. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. For those who are of age, alcoholic drinks and cocktails are also available. Reserve Roastery-exclusive products are also available for purchase at the front, including coffee beans, but as with any Starbucks merchandise, you’ll have to put quite a bit of cash down for it. Though I must say, some of the items were beautifully designed and had I the spare budget, I certainly would have bought a few things. Planning to go again with my aunt, and will try some of the other fancy drinks and such. Really excited!
[ Google Review ] Shibuya Crossing You’ve probably heard or read that Shibuya Crossing described as “Tokyo’s busiest intersection.” Somehow, that simple phrase doesn’t really come close enough to capturing the pure fascination, one might even say excitement that one feels from spending even a few moments here. Much like a living creature’s still beating heart, Shibuya Crossing pulses at regular intervals, rhythmically pushing and pulling some 1,000 – 2,500 men, women, and children through the x-shaped intersection every two minutes like clockwork. I can think of no place in the world that better visually captures the essence of modern Tokyo: A place that exudes pure organized chaos on a massive scale, and yet remains remarkably calm—most of time. Especially if you’re only in Tokyo for a limited time, or trying to get as much out of your visit here as possible, this is likely the best place to get a feel for modern Tokyo. You’ll likely find people from all walks of life here—from fresh young students to the grizzled old salaryman—all types of people come to Shibuya for business and pleasure. If you do have some time to spare, follow the crowd and see what people are up to. If you get lost on the backstreets of Shibuya, again, follow the crowd in the other direction and you’ll likely find your way back to Shibuya Crossing.
[ Google Review ] This place is stunning!!!! I really wanted so much for a long time! Finally made it! The location is wonderful i cannot say any more than fantastic!!! They have 2 floors, the lower floor is casual and the upper floor looks more classic, so if you want just to drop by and grab drinks come up to the lower floor and have a counter and high chair! The floor itself is very fun and energetic like club for dancing! Of course it’s amazing on night but the sunset time is also amazing!!! The foods were so delicious such expensive!!! It’s great place even just to enjoy foods itself!! The staffs are very friendly!!! I really want to come with friends and enjoy together!!!!! You must come!!!
[ Google Review ] Beautiful view. I suggest to come during sunset time (around 3.30 pm during winter) and you can stay until night. There is indoor deck as well. You are not allowed to bring camera without straps as all of your stuffs have to be put in a locker. Don't worry you only need 100 yen to deposit and it will be returned after you take back your stuffs. There are too many people obviously, but all in all you still get a chance to enjoy the view.
[ Google Review ] The DJs would change the music whenever people were dancing. It became like a comedy routine after a while. It was that awful. The area to dance was really small. The staff was excessively rude. Just chill out, employees. Why are you so angry all of the time? I enjoy clubbing, but this club was downright terrible.
[ Google Review ] Went here for new year countdown. + the light show was good + awesome bass and sound equipment + drinks were good with reasonable price - just… not an enjoyable music to dance to (only rhythms EDM, no songs with lyrics whatsoever) - line for drinks take forever~ Overall, not the worst experience but not worth staying up late for
[ Google Review ] This is almost like creating new music scenes and culture in Tokyo. The location and every events they're launching are chill!! You can enjoy DJ events with having drinks and snacks. There is music event schedule online or freepaper. If it's summer time, you can sit outside and can enjoy music at open space.
[ Google Review ] Best place to try out all you can drink sake (plus other beverages) and hanging out with your friends. You can bring your own food and they have microwave for you so it's all about drinking, eating, and chilling. I paid in total less than what I paid when I went to a regular bar. It's also foreigner-friendly with English signs and English-speaking staff.
[ Google Review ] This place is huge - definitely unexpected, esp. seen from outside, as everything is underground. Ther are two floors of space, with 2-3 dance floors all throughout, booths/tables in multiple areas with varying levels of music volume, and even a few bar counters to get drinks. Staff were pretty visible everywhere and they were more than happy to help. Drinka were a bit pricey, but totally exepceted given the area. The most unfortunate thing was that the crowd barely danced, aside from a few people. So the atmosphere wasn’t as interesting as I’d hoped it would be. All in all, an interesting place to visit with a group of friends, but hard to enjoy if you’re by yourself!
[ Google Review ] It seems to be a very safe option for a nightclub. It doesn't get too packed, drinks are par for the course in terms of price. There's three different floors to suit whatever kind of music you want, but the music is somewhat generic. Entry fee is high but they frequently hand out discounts. At the very least I haven't been groped, robbed, or otherwise had a bad time there. Better than most places like it in Shibuya.
[ Google Review ] It lives up to thy hype! Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of the most iconic spots in Japan and for good reason. This temple and hike is beautiful. Photos don’t do it justice. The hike took my family about 80 minutes total. We had a 6 year old and a two year old with us and both did well with all the stairs. My two year old did need to be carried from time to time, but mostly going downhill. I would say this is definitely a child friendly activity. The crowd levels were astonishingly lower than I expected. This lead to more time on the path alone and a more peaceful climb. ** I recommend bringing yen on the climb as there are plenty of places to buy bottle water, tea, and even ice cream at the view point. This temple is easily assessable by train and is located just outside of the station. **Disclaimer* My family and I went in spring of 2022 where Japan was still closed to tourist. If you are coming when the county is reopened be prepared for bigger crowds than I experienced
[ Google Review ] I would like to give negative star if I have the option to choose. We booked 3 rooms for 2 nights. When we checked in, we were informed restaurant for breakfast open 7-10am. When we came at 9.45am, we saw a notice board saying closed at 9.30am. We could see there were still guests came out after breakfast and food had not been kept yet. We tried to explain the close time we were informed was 10am last night when checked in, but they insisted saying no. A gentle man from front desk tried to help after 15 mins. The result he update was all food was thrown as it’s 10am now. Very difficult to communicate with staffs who speak little English. Feel like speaking English is not welcomed and not accepted. Very bad experience.
[ Google Review ] Narita airport is a nice one! It seems like not too many people are using it for awhile due to the COVID but I enjoyed the nice old building as well as the renovated terminal.
