The fifth afternoon of the afternoon ( Kabukicho -Shinjuku Gyoen-Tokyo Tower)
At noon, we returned from Kawaguchiko Lake to Shinjuku Station . It is said that Shinjuku Station is a strange behemoth, and you will get lost if you are not careful. After you really come, you will find that it is indeed worthy of your reputation. There are complex subway exits and passages underground in Shinjuku Station, which is simply a nightmare for countless passengers.

【Kabukicho】
This time I booked in Shinjuku this time next to Kabukicho, Shinjuku Station, it is within walking distance. Because the hotel can check in at 3 pm, I first stored my luggage and came out to find food. Kabukicho is very prosperous, with high-rise buildings and various people.

Kabukicho Summary:
The most famous red light district in Asia, countless restaurants, nightclubs, taverns and red light places, are known as "Japan's No. 1 Happy Street". It has a rich nightlife, brightly lit every night, and many of the stores are open until dawn.
Tips:
Many shops outside the store will chat with you. If you don’t need it, please refuse clearly to avoid unnecessary property damage.
Kabukicho has a complicated abortion at night, and there are often gangsters. It is recommended not to pass too late.
The Japanese red light district does not entertain foreigners, tourists can only visit.
Time: All day
Cost: Free
[Lunch]
Lunch is a famous chain store Irang Ramen eaten in Kabukicho in Shinjuku. The self-buying machine can buy staple foods and choose various complementary foods, including spicy beef, semi-cooked eggs, etc. When you wait in line, you will be given a menu to select the concentration of the soup, the softness and hardness of the noodles, the spicyness, the number of green onions, etc. There is an electronic display sign on the opposite wall. The red one is the seat where you are eating, the green one is waiting for the meal, and the non-light one is the empty seat. After waiting for a while, the empty seat finally appeared. After we went in, we found that each person was basically a single room, with a very clever design. When the partition was opened, you could see the adjacent people. Only after drinking all the noodle soup in Yilan Ramen can you see the words written at the bottom, like a small easter egg, with a clever design.
【Shinjuku Okuen】
After eating and drinking, we came to Shinjuku Okuen, about 2 kilometers away. Shinjuku Gyoen is a large park that combines Japanese, British and French garden styles, and is also a famous cherry blossom and maple viewing spot in Tokyo. The ticket is only 200 yen, which is very cost-effective. Be sure to pay attention to the time, because the park closes relatively early.

[Tokyo Tower]
Come out from Shinjuku Gyoen Garden, take advantage of the alternation of day and night to see the Tokyo Tower. Because I had climbed high in Sky Tree and Roppongi Hill before to see the night view of Tokyo, I no longer thought about going to the Tokyo Tower Observatory. However, if you have time, you can go and see what the various strategies have written, it is also a great view. We saw the huge orange tower under the tower with our own eyes during the day. When the lights were on at night, we were shining with light. This was enough, it was really amazing. In the first floor commercial area of Tokyo Tower, there are many restaurants and shops for souvenirs. Remember to go and stroll before leaving.

It has an observatory on the tower, and the scenery of the entire Tokyo city is in full view. When the weather is sunny, you can see Mount Fuji from afar.

[Dinner]
Back to Shinjuku from Tokyo Tower, I originally chose a roast pork in Shinjuku to solve the problem. But when I arrived at the store, I found that I had to book a week in advance, and I suddenly lost my direction. So I randomly found a chain fast food restaurant on the street called Matsuya , similar to Yoshinoya, and the taste was also a big surprise and the price was very cheap.
After a quick walk in Shinjuku, I went back to the hotel to rest. The booked hotel is called Shinjuku Kabukicho Super Hotel . The check-in experience is very good, the location is very convenient, and the breakfast is very rich. I recommend it.

Day 7 ( Yoyogi Park - Meiji Shrine -pharmaceutical store)
[Meiji Shrine]
The sixth day itinerary is Kamakura one-day tour, which has been written in the previous travel notes. The only main attraction on the seventh day is Meiji Shrine. In the afternoon, I plan to go to the drugstore to shop for goods.
Meiji Shrine is located in the center of Tokyo. It is a shrine built to worship Meiji Emperor and Empress Akiheng. It is located in Yoyogi Park. Meiji Shrine is one of the five major shrines in Tokyo. It is said that the hexagram is very effective, and it is a place for various important life rituals such as newborn naming rituals, coming-of-age ceremony, graduation ceremony, etc. In particular, thousands of traditional Japanese weddings are held here every year. We were fortunate to witness a wedding. The couple looked solemn and sacred in their Wedding Dresses, and the relatives’ dresses were simple and simple. The whole wedding was organized, polite, low-key and quiet, which was contrasted with some domestic wedding customs.
The calamus field in the Meiji Temple Imperial Garden was planted by Emperor Meiji by Empress Dowager Aoxian. There are about 150 species of 1,500 species of 1500 iris, the most popular in June every year. It is a representative landscape of the Meiji Temple Imperial Garden. There is another attraction called Qingzheng Well. When you get closer, you see a well covered with dark pebbles at the bottom. The well water is very clear and flows out from the ground continuously.

Hayokiki Park can be visited all day, no tickets are required.
Meiji Shrine visit time is 5:00-18:30, the temple is free, and the ticket to Meiji Shrine Imperial Garden inside is 500 yen. It is recommended to buy tickets and go in and take a look. The scenery is pleasant.
[Lunch]
I have always wanted to try Japanese roast pork. My friends in the industry have a lot of food, so we chose roast pork to put the question, which is a barbecue buffet, which is a barbecue buffet, and you can eat it at a price. The restaurant I went to was called Niujiao, which is a chain restaurant in Japan. It has many customers and high service quality. It also has branches in China. The buffet is divided into several levels. We chose 3,480 yen per person. With soft drinks and taxes, the four people spent 17,000 yen, which is similar to the better domestic roast pork buffet, so what we ate was quite satisfying.

【Pharmaceutical Store】
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon after eating and drinking. The next arrangement was to go to the drugstore to shop for goods. I visited three stores in total, including Don Quixote (Jing'an Palace), Daguo Pharmaceutical Cosmetics, and Heyu Pharmaceutical Cosmetics.All three have many chain stores in Japan. Don Quixote is open 24 hours a day. It not only sells cosmetics and snacks, but also basically all daily necessities. It is a hodgepodge mall. Daguo Pharmaceutical Cosmetics and Heyu Pharmaceutical Cosmetics basically only sell medicine cosmetics and snacks. In terms of price, after we compare several products, Don Quixote is slightly higher than the other two stores, so we recommend Daguo Pharmaceutical Cosmetic and Heyu Pharmaceutical Cosmetic.

Be sure to note that the products purchased in the drugstore can be tax-free, and you should also note that some drugstores will have special activities, such as buying a designated product (which may be a very cheap thing), you can get a 15% discount on the basis of other discounts and tax-free items, and we have saved a lot of money like this.
After the cargo was completed, we took all our luggage and moved to a hotel near the airport, because we had to rush to leave Japan early the next morning. The booked hotel is called Tama Dear Haneda Hotel . It is quite close to Haneda Airport , and it can be picked up and dropped off for free. There are many small restaurants near the hotel, as well as subway stations, convenience stores and drug stores, which are very convenient. I recommend it here.
I ate a ramen near this hotel that I don’t remember the name, and was my last meal in Japan this time. The style is different from Yilan ramen. The noodles seem to be alkaline noodles, which are more chewy. Various side dishes are very rich and taste great.
The seven-day travel notes in Japan are coming to an end here. This is my second time to visit Japan. The first time was in Osaka -Kyoto- Nara in the Kansai region. The second time I went to Tokyo and Mount Fuji in the Kansai region. I have to say that Japan is really a country that wants to go there again and again. The environment is clean, the food is delicious, the people are friendly and the service is attentive. I remember that in a fruit shop run by an old lady in Kyoto, the fruit production and sale were done by the old lady alone. She looked like she was in her seventies and eighties. When we bought it, she actually sent us outside the store door. After walking for 20 or 30 meters, she looked back. She still nodded to us at the door of the store and watched us leave. It touched me so much at that time. The two trips to Japan did not leave me any bad impressions, which is not an exaggeration. I believe that in the near future, I will visit the third time, maybe it is Okinawa, maybe it is Hokkaido , I believe that I will not disappoint me.

You must not miss when you go to Japan, which is the dazzling array of beverages and ice cream in convenience stores such as 711 and Rosen. To be honest, some drinks will taste just the same, but each ice cream is super delicious. Do you think it is related to the milk source in Japan? The final experience is that most of the drinks are lighter than domestic ones, and ice cream is much more mellow and delicious than domestic ones. Haagen-Dazs costs more than 30 yuan a small box in China, and Japan only costs about 15 yuan. I have tried all kinds of flavors. Leave weight loss behind the scenes and eat it unrestrainedly!
