#cherry blossoms #tokyotravel #tokyocherryblossoms #cherryblossomspots 📍Araiyakushimae, Tokyo, Japan A warm spring landscape found on the outskirts of Tokyo ⠀ A landscape of a train passing through cherry blossoms that I once imagined before traveling to Tokyo. This is a landscape on the outskirts of Tokyo that can be seen in about 30 minutes by train from Shinjuku, Tokyo. ⠀ Araiyakushimae Station is not really a tourist attraction, but from the simple bakeries of the town to cafes, and friendly people. It is a place that feels like busy Tokyo that is hard to find. At first, I was taking pictures alone with a tripod, and an old man complimented me on my beauty and left. Later, when we met again, he greeted me warmly and left. It has a slightly different mood from the busy Tokyo city, so I think it will continue to be a place I really like. ⠀ It's pretty even if it's not the cherry blossom season, so if you're planning a trip to Tokyo, be sure to stop by 😀 ⠀ 📌 Tokyo, Japan, Arai Yakushimae Station ✨ The spot in the photo is 'Arai 5-chome, Nakano-ku, Tokyo' You can find it and go there!

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent Address: 5 Chome-42-14 Central, Nakano City, Tokyo 164-0011 Japan This is Gekidantanaka, a crepe restaurant in Nakano-ku, Tokyo. It's located in a quiet alley, so it might be a little hard to find, but it's in a cute residential area, so it was good for taking pictures :) The crepe is made right after you order, so I chose the basic banana, and it was soft and sweet, so it was good to eat as a dessert :)

#November Travel Support Event Address: 3 Chome-8-2 Higashinakano, Nakano City, Tokyo 164-0003 Japan I visited Dotoru Coffee Shop in Nakano-ku, Tokyo. The 2nd floor is a smoking area, so if you don't like the smell of cigarettes, try to stay on the 1st floor. Although the coffee selection is not that diverse, it is cheaper than other cafes, so it was convenient to use while traveling~

#Free VIP room change on the 27th of each month Member Day Although Nakano is an old district, it is known as the Akihabara of Tokyo and is very popular because you can find affordable cosmetics and a large number of video game peripheral products (including comics, models, flash cards, etc.) here. There are also many old city scenes that cannot be seen in modern big cities. If you want to find the old Japanese flavor of the past, Nakano is a very suitable area. ———————————————————————— This time I bought a flight ticket to Tokyo through Trip.com, and used the Trip coins I earned after becoming a member to deduct part of the ticket price. It was such a great value. #Tokyo #Japan #Nakano

If you want to buy watches or luxury bags, I recommend going to Tokyo Nakano Station, where you can find Kame-Kichi or Jack Road. Before you go, you can check the website in Taiwan to see if the item you want is in stock and the price. In my experience, Jack Road's website is better, but the price offered by Kame-Kichi is the lowest (but they don't accept JCB cards, so be aware). Now you can pay the duty-free price and use it on the spot as long as you take out your original passport. The watch I bought myself was about one-third cheaper than the price in Taiwan; the savings were enough to leave me with enough money for the trip. I recommend that people who really want to buy something should consider this method as an option ##Nakano
