#MarchTravelSupportEvent Trip.com is where I breathe, and I'm planning a trip✈️ Trip.com has become a part of my daily life. Even when I take a break from my busy day, I naturally search for flight tickets, walk around unfamiliar streets on the map, and go on an imaginary trip. Even the moment I dream of a trip like this seems like a small healing to me. I've been really into the joy of traveling alone lately, and the place that I'm most drawn to is Japan, and in Japan, Tokyo! And in Tokyo, my favorite place is definitely Tokyo Tower. When I look at the tower, I lose track of time, and the sparkling emotions of that moment stay in my heart even after the trip is over. And actually... I'm leaving for Tokyo again next week! 😁 Do you have a travel destination that you especially love like me? A place that makes you excited just thinking about it, and a place you want to go to again no matter how many times you go! Please share it with us :)

📌Tokyo Oden Love Store Shibuya 5F Japan 〒150-0043 Tokyo, Shibuya, Dogenzaka, 1 Chome−5−9 Shibuya Oden The Renga, 5F Oden bar with a yatai (food stall) feel! There are Japanese and English menus, and when you first go in, they ask you if you've been here before. If you say no (ないです, no), they'll probably hand you an English menu! Since it's in Shibuya, there are probably people hunting around, and if you can speak Japanese, you'll be able to easily have fun stories with people who don't know! When I went, there was a half-Korean-Japanese person next to me who explained it to me in Korean! If you go to Shibuya, you must visit 💛 If the 5th floor is full, guide them to the 7th floor, or go straight to the 7th floor after 8pm!!!🫶🏻 📌📌渋谷よこちょ Japan 〒150-0001 Tokyo, Shibuya, Jingumae, 6 Chome−20−10 South 1F RAYARD MIYASHITA PARK When you go to Shibuya, I recommend you visit ‘Yokocho’!! You can experience traditional Japanese sensibility and delicious beer! I remember drinking almost 5 glasses of draft beer.. There is a bathroom inside and it is clean, so it would be good for women! In fact, there are many yakitori on the Japanese evening menu.. The food is just so-so, but it would be great for travelers to enjoy the atmosphere!! 📌📌📌うおきん Japan 〒105-0004 Tokyo, Minato City, Shinbashi, 3 Chome−8−6 ルー・ラシエルBUILDINGS 36 1・2F Uokin has various branches in Ginza! I went to Tokyo once a month and this is a sashimi restaurant that I always go to! I usually only go to yakitori for dinner at Japanese restaurants! You should definitely go here for sashimi! The sashimi menu for two people is not very large, but it's just right, and there are a lot of fried foods and soups, so be sure to ask the staff if they have any おすすめ (recommended foods)! It'll probably be crowded during dinner time, so I recommend making a reservation on Google and going! It's comfortable to bring anyone, and it has a luxurious feel, so I wanted to keep it to myself, but I'm introducing it, so please go and visit ♥ ‼️The last one is a restaurant, hotel, etc. that I visited while traveling around Tokyo, so I'll introduce it slowly! (The red dots are the places I've been) So if you're curious, please take a look anytime. I'm a Tokyo smartie‼️ #TokyoTravel #TokyoRestaurant #ShibuyaIzakaya #GinzaSashimi #TokyoSashimi #LocalRestaurant #TokyoBar #ShibuyaBar

One day of shopping in Shibuya, I feel a bit tired Shibuya is still very easy to visit. It’s only 5 stops away from Shinagawa Station on the JY Yamanote Line. Coming out of Exit A8 is the statue of the loyal dog Hachiko. There will be an old man helping to take photos for free (you need to queue up) I saw a crossroads with a lot of people I ate the Ichiran ramen that I had missed for a long time. Now you can pay with wx or zfb on your mobile phone. It is very convenient. I finally had the matcha almond tofu that I had been missing for a long time. It still tastes the same. After eating, we went straight to Lelabo in Parco. The store is very small. I bought the Tokyo limited edition 10. 100ml is about 69,000, and you can get a tax refund directly. I visited the flagship stores of Pokémon, Nintendo, Capcom, and JUMP. There were many new things and I bought a lot. I will continue to Akihabara tomorrow.

#TokyoAttractions #ShibuyaHachikoStatue The Hachiko Statue at Shibuya Station Plaza Famous for being a popular meeting point The prototype of this bronze statue is an Akita dog named Kohachi, which was raised by Dr. Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor in the Department of Agriculture at Tokyo Imperial University. Xiaoba, who grew up healthily in the love of his master, would always loyally pick up and drop off the doctor to and from get off work every day. However, the doctor died suddenly in 1925. For the next 10 years, Hachi would still wait faithfully at Shibuya Station every day for the return of his deceased master. Moved by such a loyal gesture, the public donated money to build a tall bronze statue in 1934 with a base of 180 cm and a statue of 162 cm. The doctor's wife and about 300 people from all walks of life came to the scene at the unveiling ceremony. I guess Hachi was also watching it all with the Shibuya stationmaster at the time. The bronze statue was recycled due to the Pacific War, and was rebuilt in 1948 to its current appearance.

📍Tokyo, Japan Hachiko was a dog remembered for his royalty to his owner, for whom he continued to wait for like nine years following the owner’s death. Hachiko passed away on March 8th, 1935. over 80years already after Hachiko’s death, he has become to be known as the world’s most loyal dog. You can also watch the movie about Hachiko that released in 2009. This spot of Hachiko Statue in Shibuya street is always busy with tourists.

#7月好去地方2025 Address: Shibuya: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Harajuku: Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (about 15-20 minutes walking distance between the two places) Atmosphere/Facilities: Shibuya is the most representative young commercial and entertainment center in Tokyo, with world-famous fashion landmarks such as "Shibuya Crossing" and Shibuya 109 Shopping Center. Harajuku is a gathering place for individual trends and street culture, from the colorful girlish style of Takeshita Street to the high-end fashion streets of Omotesando, presenting a completely different youthful look. Both places have complete facilities, shopping, eating, taking pictures, and transportation are all convenient, and there are a large number of cafes, drugstores and Japanese fashion brands. Average consumption per person: Food and beverages: about ¥1,000 to ¥3,000 / Shopping varies depending on the brand, ranging from ¥1,000 accessories to ¥30,000 boutiques Features: • Shibuya Crossing is a world-renowned "city landscape landmark" with beautiful neon lights at night • Harajuku Takeshita Street gathers various subcultures and cute shops, the birthplace of girl culture • Omotesando combines fashion boutiques with modern architecture, and is a holy place for taking photos and shopping • A variety of food is concentrated: from crepes, curry rice, thick pancakes to Starbucks Sky Garden Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5) - Tokyo's most colorful cultural crossroads, never tired of exploration, full of style! ⸻ 🏙️ Experience sharing｜Shibuya and Harajuku: The heartbeat of Tokyo, so young that people don't want to leave Speaking of Tokyo, some people love its history and ancient flavor, and some people are fascinated by its nature and tranquility, but for me, what makes me dream about Tokyo the most is always the most vibrant duo "Shibuya×Harajuku". I started from JR Harajuku Station, and as soon as I got out of the station, I was at Takeshita Street. It is a street that is always bustling with people, as colorful as a candy world. Whether it is a girl wearing a Gothic Lolita outfit or a Korean trendy man holding a selfie stick, they can naturally exist on this free street. I bought a strawberry whipped cream crepe and ate it while standing in the crowd. I didn't feel abrupt at all, as if this place exists for everyone to "be themselves". Walking along Omotesando towards Shibuya, the atmosphere began to change. From cute and lively to elegant and clean, boutique flagship stores such as GUCCI and PRADA show the beauty of design, and each building itself is a work of art. I sat down in a quiet Nordic-style cafe and ordered a cup of hand-brewed coffee and cheese tart. The sun shone down, time seemed to stand still, and only the whispers of the city could be heard. When I walked to Shibuya, the whole rhythm suddenly accelerated. What shocked me the most was standing on the pedestrian bridge above Shibuya Station and watching the "Shibuya Crossing" letting hundreds of people pass in an instant. It was not chaos, but a perfect concerto of the city's rhythm. During the day, it is a scene where travelers and office workers meet, and at night it becomes a charming picture of neon lights and crowds. I walked into Shibuya 109, which is simply a treasure trove of inspiration for young people's outfits. Whether you like Korean style, street style, vintage style or sweet and spicy style, you can find them all. And I picked a pair of earrings in a niche jewelry store, and the salesgirl praised me in fluent English for "being good at matching". At that moment, it seemed that I really became a part of the streets of Tokyo. The most surprising thing is that I accidentally found a Starbucks in a high-rise building next to Shibuya Station, with large floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the night view of the intersection. I ordered a cup of matcha latte, sat by the window, and watched thousands of people shuttle below. Everyone has their own story, and every light illuminates a life. Such a Tokyo night is quiet and active. For me, this Shibuya×Harajuku walk is not just as simple as shopping or punching in, but a rediscovery of youth, creativity and free spirit. It is not just a "young people's area", but a symbol of a city attitude that is not afraid of style and difference. If you also want to leave a "youth diary" of your own in Tokyo, then start from Harajuku and walk to Shibuya. This road is not long, but the stories and colors hidden in it can make you remember it for a lifetime. #harajuku #harajukutourism #shibuya #shibuyamust-visit #shibuya-ku #takeshita-dori #takeshita-dori #shinjuku #tokyo

In the heart of Shibuya, I stood by the statue of Hachikō—the loyal dog who waited every day for his owner to return. Knowing his story made the moment feel personal and emotional, even in the middle of such a busy city. Just steps away, Shibuya Crossing bursts with life—hundreds of people moving in all directions like a perfectly timed dance. It’s a surreal mix of quiet reflection and high-energy chaos. Two very different sides of Tokyo, side by side.

#5月好去处2025 When you come to Shibuya, the most unmissable thing is the bronze statue of Hachiko and the small park next to it. Hachiko's story is very touching, and many tourists often take photos in front of the statue. Although the park is small, it is full of a warm atmosphere and is a good place for a short break. Looking at the statue of Hachiko, it reminds people of his loyalty and waiting for his master, which is very moving. This is not only a popular check-in spot, but also a landmark full of emotional stories. Combined with the lively scene of Shibuya Crossroads, it forms a wonderful experience of contrast between movement and stillness.

Shibuya streets, sunny weather in June

Tokyo offers a plethora of attractions, shopping opportunities, and sights to enjoy. Despite the large number of tourists, it doesn't dampen the mood for shopping and sightseeing. There are many limited-edition products available during specific periods. If you're not a fan of shopping, you can still discover beautiful landscapes and parks where you can sit down, reflect, and embrace a slower pace of life while appreciating the scenery. One of the best aspects of Tokyo is that most restaurants and shops close late, allowing visitors to shop and leisurely enjoy delicious food without feeling rushed.

The bustling city swirled around, yet here, time paused. Hachiko’s story—waiting nine years for his owner—echoed in the quiet reverence of visitors. A gentle touch on his statue, a silent nod to devotion, and I stepped away, carrying the warmth of his tale in the heart of Tokyo’s electric pulse. #hachikomemorialstatue #shibuya

The Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, marked by its distinctive brown signage, is a modern railway connecting Wakoshi to Shibuya over a span of 11.9 kilometers with 11 stations. Since its opening in 2008, this line has become a prime choice for exploring Tokyo's youthful energy and creative inspiration, thanks to its stylish design and convenient transportation. Highlights Along the Line Wakoshi Station: A Tranquil Starting Point with Cultural Touches Wakoshi Station, located in Tokyo's suburban area, serves as the northern terminus of the Fukutoshin Line. The surrounding parks and small cafes create a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a brief respite. Nearby, Kawagoe Old Town preserves Edo-era architecture and offers traditional Japanese sweets and handicrafts, attracting travelers who appreciate history and culture. Ikebukuro Station: A Hotspot for Anime and Entertainment Ikebukuro Station is a bustling hub on the Fukutoshin Line, brimming with subculture charm. Otome Road's anime shops and themed cafes are a haven for anime enthusiasts, while Sunshine City Mall combines an aquarium, food court, and observation deck. At night, the izakayas and live music venues near Ikebukuro's west exit ignite youthful passion, showcasing Tokyo's vibrant rhythm. Shinjuku-sanchome Station: A Convergence of Bustle and Arts Shinjuku-sanchome Station provides direct access to Shinjuku's commercial and cultural core. Nearby, Isetan and Takashimaya department stores feature high-end fashion, while the alleys are filled with ramen shops and yakitori stalls exuding a lively atmosphere.

Hop on the Fukutoshin Line and embark on a Tokyo adventure that transitions from tranquility to vibrancy!

Sky is not only expensive but also difficult to book. In fact, there are many shopping malls around Shibuya where you can enjoy the view of Shibuya Crossing from the upper floors. The shooting location of Figure 1 is on the 12th floor of Scramble Square. There are few people and chairs for resting. However, there is a little bit of reflection, so the light needs to be dimmed when shooting. Another thing you can't miss when you come to Shibuya is the Hachiko bus. The bus driver will announce the stops manually in a low-pitched bubble voice, and the fare is only 100 yen. The second thing you can't miss is the Yellow Omurice, where you'll have to queue up for ages every day. It opens at 11 a.m., so you can arrive ten or twenty minutes in advance. On weekdays, you'll have to queue for about half an hour to get in. But I personally feel the taste is just average.

#AprilTravelSupport 📍2 Chome-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Tokyo 150-0043 This is a bronze statue honoring the loyal Akita dog Hachiko~ Since it is located in the main shopping area, the area in front of the statue has become a famous meeting place! If you visit Tokyo, you can easily see it, but I recommend taking a commemorative photo in front of the Hachiko statue!

I've been waiting for this for a long time and finally I have the chance to eat it! The location is close to Nihonbashi and not too far to walk. The store is not big, with only about seven or eight seats. You order food using a coin-operated machine, but you can also pay by card or other payment methods. Just ask the store staff for assistance. The bowl of noodles is quite big, and you should also order the recommended fried dumplings to eat together. Very good. 麺屋 aru no ramen SARUNOSUKE 🕰️Business hours: 10:00-04:00 📍Address: Japan〒542-0083 Osaka, Chuo Ward, Higashishinsaibashi, 2 Chome−6−10 Kyoutani 1F 💰Average consumption per person: ¥2000-¥4000
