In my vlog, I will guide you secret places in Tokyo! This time, I will introduce the fabric town in Nippori. Nippori is best-known for its proximity to the Yanaka Ginza shopping district, which retains something of the Shitamachi (literally “low town”) charm of Tokyo’s less metropolitan past. (I have filmed three vlogs already!) However, on the opposite side of Nippori Station is another of Tokyo’s shopping paradises: Nippori Fabric Town. About 2 minutes’ walk from the Nippori station, you’ll arrive in the land that fabric dreams were hemmed, hand stitched, pressed and made of. For sewing lovers, this vlog is for YOU! Please check the video and plan your itinerary before coming to Tokyo! After visiting the fabric town, I’ll introduce my favorite sweets shop in this area.
In this vlog, I will introduce seasonal drink that I found at the Starbucks and then one of the famous Japanese garden in Tokyo. This place is called “Hamarikyu gardens”. If you are in Tokyo or planning to come to Tokyo, please visit this garden and have a relaxing time with matcha tea. Enjoy the video! YUCa
After the Christmas day, it’s time to prepare for New Year’s! In this vlog, I will introduce one of the biggest outdoor market called “Ameyoko” in Ueno area. I was so amazed to see that Ameyoko is getting so international food town. You will see Korean food, Taiwanese food, Chinese foood and Thai food etc. So, every time I go there, I feel like I am traveling many countries (especially Asian countries) at the same time! Amazing, isn’t it? If you are in Tokyo or planning to come to Tokyo, please visit and enjoy the foods and shopping there! At the end of the video, I will guide you to our family’s favorite train themed restaurant!!! Enjoy the video! YUCa

Oh, I forgot to mention in the video but there is 1-star Michellen star ramen restaurant near JR Sugamo station. The name of the shop is “Tsuta”. You should not miss!!!
