Kanazawa Day 1 Itinerary 🍣 Just arrived in Kanazawa and I spent the whole day eating my way around the city⛩️ Kanazawa is an amazing food city, and it’s only 3 hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I’m honestly surprised more people don’t visit. Kanazawa is much less crowded than Kyoto, which makes it a great place to explore at a slower pace. I highly recommend visiting if you want to experience Japan without the big crowds！ Saving more spots for the next two days 👀 📍Morimori Sushi 📍21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art 📍Pino 📍Gappa Save this for your Kanazawa trip. #japan #japanese #japaneseculture #kanazawa #kanazawatrip

🌿 Chill Walk in Kichijoji Just about 20 minutes from Shinjuku, Kichijoji feels like a completely different side of Tokyo🗼 We walked through Sunroad Shopping Street, one of the most lively streets in the area. It’s the perfect place to grab snacks I picked up some onigiri for a picnic! If you want to experience a slower and more local side of Tokyo, Kichijoji is the place. 📍Places in this video • Oshman’s • Sunroad Shopping Street ・Amane(Japanese sweets) • Inokashira Park #japan #japanese #tokyo #japaneseculture #neighborhood

🏯Sawara🏯 Sawara is a historic town located close to Narita Airport. This is the hometown of Ino Tadataka, the man who created Japan’s first accurate map. I enjoyed walking through Sawara’s beautiful historic streets, and finished the day with a visit to Katori Shrine. If you have extra time before or after your flight, Sawara is a perfect and peaceful stop near the airport. 📍 Sawara Historic Townscape 📍 Katori Shrine #japan #tokyo #naritaairport #demonslayer #japantravels

🏳️‍🌈 Shinjuku Ni chome 🏳️‍🌈 It’s Tokyo’s largest LGBTQ+ neighborhood, where hundreds of small bars are packed into just a few streets. Locals and travelers naturally mix here. If you want to see a more open, diverse side of Tokyo, this is a place worth walking through. ⚧️ #japan #japanese #tokyo #gay #shinjuku

📍 Kita Senju I call this place “Little Shinjuku.” Right outside the station, you’ll find everything fashion, big department stores, cafes, and nonstop energy. But walk just a few minutes into the backstreets and it feels like old Tokyo. #japan #japanese #tokyo #japantravel #neighborhood
