Travel to Tokyo

Tokyo is an electric capital where ancient tradition meets futuristic ambition. As Japan’s beating heart, it fuses the quiet charm of wooden shrines and historic districts like Asakusa with the pulsating energy of Shinjuku’s skyscrapers and Akihabara’s tech wonderland. Narrow alleyways hide ramen bars and quirky shops, while towering towers host Michelin-starred dining. From sumo stables to Shibuya’s chaos, Tokyo is endlessly layered, vibrant, and always one step ahead.

Here's my latest accommodation review! During this trip to Tokyo, we booked a hotel in the Ikebukuro area and stayed in one place for 6 days without changing hotels. 🏨 Kankokukan Business Hotel
- 900m walk to Ikebukoro Station Exit C6. - There are many minimarts nearby, so it's not crowded.
—-
✅ Pros
- Great location in the city, near the train station, shopping areas, minimarts, and restaurants. - Quiet at night. - No cigarette smoke smell. - Clean and tidy. - Towels are changed daily and toothbrushes are provided. - The bathroom has shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner that smell great and leave your hair very soft. - The shared kitchen has a microwave for heating food, a kettle, instant coffee, a water dispenser, and a refrigerator.
—-
❌ Cons
- The room is quite small. It can fit two 24-inch suitcases, but you have to unpack them one at a time. - No private bathroom. But there are restrooms on every floor. - There's only one shower room on the first floor, but I've never had to wait in line. It's always empty when I go. - The bed is probably 4 feet wide, so two women can sleep comfortably, but men might feel cramped. - I feel like the bed isn't as long as in Thailand. If you're very tall, it might be a bit small. However, the hotel is mostly frequented by foreigners (Westerners). - There's no elevator, so you have to carry your own luggage up to your room.
—-
💰 Cost of accommodation during our booking period (October 27 - November 2)
- Total of 6 nights - 11,872.04 / 6, which works out to 1,979 THB per night. - We went with 2 friends, so splitting the cost was about 990 THB per person. ⚠️ Prices vary by month, ranging from 13xx to 19xx THB.

The Fresa Inn Okachimachi Hotel, located within walking distance of Ueno, boasts a prime location and excellent quality. Check-in is direct from the second-floor dining area (the staff speaks Chinese), and there are sofas and chairs for relaxing. I saw business travelers using the lobby chairs for work. A thoughtful touch is the provision of toothbrush and toothpaste disposables, tea bags, and shower caps. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, making check-in possible 24 hours a day, even on red-eye flights.

Our room, located on the 7th floor, offered free Wi-Fi and a bedside outlet for charging your phone. While small, it was well-equipped. The bathroom provided shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, and there was a notice in the room indicating that drinking water was available. After a wild trip to Tokyo, I finally felt comfortable soaking in the bath after returning to the hotel. The bathroom was well-equipped, with a bidet that flushed and adjusted the seat temperature. Suitcases could be stored in the aisle without worrying about being able to fully open. There was a large mirror just before leaving the room for makeup.

On our last day, we headed to TeamLab Planets in Toyosu. The hotel offered luggage storage.

The hotel's motto is: FREsh + Sense + Amenity 👍👍👍
Fresa Inn (Sotetsu Fresa Inn) is a Japanese hotel chain. Operated by Sotetsu INN Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Sotetsu Group, the chain is headquartered in Yokohama, Japan.

Honestly, I don't really want to tell you this, but...

Did you know that airfares can be even cheaper with a little ingenuity, not just timing? ✈️

Just changing your departure and arrival airport can save you thousands of yen,
and even saving on accommodation costs by taking a night flight.

Using a shareholder discount coupon can surprisingly reduce the regular price.

In fact, professional travelers and travel influencers naturally combine these three tips
to create routes that are cheaper to the same destination.

Traveling can be completely different, depending on what you know.

This is a "permanent edition" to refer back to when searching for airfare.

Please check it out again before your next booking!

This trip to Tokyo involved three of us.

We did a lot of research on luggage and comfort.

Japanese rooms are generally small, but the room at OMO was surprisingly spacious!

Our three suitcases could easily be unfolded (actually, even more 🤣).

The room was new, and the bed was very comfortable.

We had a very relaxing two nights. Choosing the right accommodation really can affect your travel mood 🩵

While the overall stay was comfortable and the location convenient,

there was a small disappointment when we returned to our room the next night 😞

My visit to teamLab Planets in Toyosu, Tokyo, was truly a completely different experience.

Entering the exhibition area felt like stepping into a dream, the space filled with playful shifts of light, sound, water, and mirrors.

The moment you had to take off your shoes and stepped into the water, I felt like I had truly "entered" the artwork.

The most striking thing about the room was the flower-filled room. The walls and ceiling were constantly changing.

The rhythm of the flowers blooming and closing blended with the music, creating a beauty so beautiful that it made you forget time.

I think the most unique aspect of teamLab is that it's not about "looking at art" but about "breathing with art."

In each space, you can feel your presence reflected by the artwork.

Walking, touching, the flow of water, and the light and shadow all transform the scene.

That immersive feeling truly makes you want to return again and again.

📍Recommended Tips:

• Weekdays are less crowded, allowing you to experience the experience at your leisure.

• Wear shorts or rolled-up pants, as you'll be soaked in water.

• Remember to reserve a time slot, otherwise the venue is often full. • The light at night is even more magical, making for stunning photos! ✨

This is a journey that awakens all five senses.
If you're looking to experience art firsthand, teamLab Toyosu is definitely worth it!

Tokyo's Ueno Onshi Park in autumn is like a watercolor painting with suitable shades. The maple leaves gradually turn red, dotted in the green forest, dancing gently in the wind, and reflected on the blue waves of Shinobazu Pond. The interweaving of light and shadow is beautiful. The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the red leaves on both sides of the trail around the lake are like flames. Walking along it feels like walking into a poetic realm. Although the Shibazu Pond is small, it contains infinite charm. Although the lotus flowers beside the pond have lost their midsummer charm, the autumn mood adds tranquility and depth. The most anticipated thing is the leisure time of boating on the lake. Rent a small boat, pedal gently, and shuttle through the center of the lake. Looking up, you will see the sky covered with red leaves, surrounded by the quiet lake and mountains. Occasionally, you can overlook the five-story pagoda in the distance. History and nature blend here. Occasionally, a flock of ducks skims across the water, breaking the reflection and quickly returning to calm. Ueno Park is not only a place for viewing maple leaves, but also a place where the soul settles. The autumn sun is shining slantingly, the breeze is blowing on your face, sit on a bench by the lake, hold a cup of hot tea, and feel the slow flow of time. This tranquility and poetry are the most touching gifts of autumn in Tokyo.

5 Must-Visit Restaurants in Ueno, Tokyo
#Ueno #Tokyo 🇯🇵

By the Sea
When you're in Japan I had to have the A5 Wagyu beef, so tender it melts in your mouth! 😋🥩
BouYa Ueno, a yakiniku restaurant! 🥩 The meat has a beautiful marbling, is so tender, and melts in your mouth. It's so amazing! It's so light, and the sauce is so good. Pair it with hot rice, it's so satisfying!

𝗹𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘂 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗻
This izakaya-style restaurant has many branches, and it's open 24 hours. We went back twice on this trip. We absolutely loved the grilled crab roe and miso here. It's perfectly seasoned, fragrant, creamy, and rich. We also enjoyed the shellfish here. The large, fresh, and chewy meat is grilled to perfection, so fragrant that you don't even need to dip it in sauce.
There's also plenty of sushi, sashimi, and rice bowls to choose from.

Sushi Donburi
A famous sushi restaurant with many branches in Japan.
Known for its fresh raw fish and reasonable prices, they offer a wide selection of sushi, sashimi, grilled, and fried dishes. They especially specialize in tuna, or maguro, as this restaurant is renowned for its high-quality tuna auctions. Ensuring freshness and flavor.

𝗛𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘆𝘂
🍜 If you love rich pork bone ramen or Tonkotsu ramen, this is the place for you. I absolutely love the broth! It's fragrant, rich, and well-rounded. And most importantly, it's affordable, starting at 750 yen.

𝗚𝘆𝘂𝗸𝗮𝘁𝘀𝘂 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗮
This is a restaurant where you'll be willing to wait over an hour just to get your hands on it.
The breaded beef is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, served rare, with a pink interior. It's served on a sizzling grill, allowing you to grill the meat to your liking.

I went to the bibigo pop-up store 🌶️

🇰🇷bibigo K-street food popup store
Location: Shibuya n_space 1F-3F

The bibigo pop-up store is open for a limited time in Shibuya ☺️💛

This pop-up store is packed with perks that make you wonder if they're really free ⬆️
But...
If you follow bibigo...
Get an original fan!
After answering the questionnaire, I got an original bibigo bag with three items!
It was definitely worth the trip! 👏👏

You can order on the first floor and eat on the second floor, but
the store is filled with carefully designed photo zones everywhere you go. 📷💛

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought of bibigo as a souvenir you could only get in Korea,
so I would buy a lot of it at Lotte Mart every time I went... (lol)
Now, it's become such a national food that you can easily find it at your local supermarket,
which feels strange, but very exciting. ☺️❤️
I recommend it to bibigo fans and
Park Seo-Joon fans. ♡
