    A must visit people, who are visiting Tokyo. Not so crowded at weekdays. If you traveling with your kids highly recommended this place.

    This is my favorite concert venue. It's easily accessible, and there are plenty of places to eat, rest, and have fun nearby, so you can have fun after an event. What's best about it is that it has a large capacity, but you can see well from any seat. It's not flat, and it's not at a sharp angle, and if the sub-stage and runway areas were wider, it would be even easier to see.

    The voucher was issued immediately after purchase. You can enter by having the QR code scanned on the day. I was worried because I only received one QR code for a reservation for two people, but it was properly for two people. I was able to spend a relaxing time in a place rich in nature! There were many characters and shows, so I think it would be irresistible for Moomin fans.

    When you come to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, you can fish for sea bream and good luck in love. The good luck in love will even write down the star sign, blood type and age difference of the suitable partner. After you draw it, you must confirm whether the friends around you are your destined person! In addition, there are 20 sets of "love jade" available for claiming at Hikawa Shrine per day. Love jade is distributed for free starting at 8 am every day. Friends who want it have to set out early to line up!

    Although it's called a dome stadium, it's just a roof, so rain can get in and it's probably hot in the summer and cold in the winter. This is the only home stadium in Japan where you can hear organ music. The stadium food is probably the best in Japan. I recommend you try the pizza at L's Craft.
