ARTNIA
ARTNIA
ARTNIA, a cafe & bar ... and "the only official shop in the world with goods centered on Square Enix's popular characters." From the creators of FINAL FANTASY, KINGDOM HEARTS, .... The interior itself is something to see; it could be an art museum. How about some shopping after a tasty snack or delicious meal?

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observatories
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Observatories
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, or Tochō for short.... Check out the Observation Decks on the 45th floor. Why not, it's free. The vast expanse of the Tokyo metropolis, mountain ranges in the distance.... If possible, catch the twilight. It's stunning, it's beautiful; it could be a scene from an anime.
Ichikakuya Nishi-Shinjukuhonten
Ichikakuya Nishi-Shinjukuhonten
At the end of the day, have a ramen.... And where else but at Ichikakuya, where the soup is rich and tasty, the portions very generous. You might want to ask for "abura soba" -- that literally means "oil noodles" but actually refers to ramen without soup. Highly recommended.
