The other day, my family and I went to Tokyo on the store's holiday.
I was on my way after work,
My 2-year-old's ears seemed to hurt on his first flight in a while.
The journey was a hellish picture.
I think it was a little easier because they picked me up when I arrived at Haneda.
The next day, I left my older child with my husband and I and went to Shinjuku for the first time in a while.
From Shin-Urayasu, transfer to the Marunouchi Line at Tokyo Station.
It's been a while since I last rode the Marunouchi Line, but I got off at Shinjuku Gyoen Station.
It is also the home ground where the couple once lived.
When you get to the ground, you will see the intersection where the nostalgic Saint-Marc and Talise face each other.
On the other side, there is an Indian curry restaurant that I used to frequent.
The name of the store remains, but has the business changed? It may be.
I walked to the apartment where I used to live for the first time in a while,
Although it feels novel that the streetscape has changed slightly and the coffee shops are fiercely competitive,
After all, I reconfirmed that Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden was really comfortable to live in.
Our destination this time is Shinjuku, where we vowed to become a couple 16 years ago.
To "spend time doing nothing."
I walked along Hanazono Street from the Gyoen National Garden and passed Shinjuku 3-chome.
This is also a familiar town where I often went drinking.
In particular, I went to the very famous and long-established restaurant ``Donzoko.''
The store isn't empty, but every time I see this sign,
I remember how many times I hit rock bottom with the famous “Donzo Cocktail” (lol)
Speaking of Shinjuku, "Isetan" is a symbol.
Back then, I would go back and forth to Barneys, which no longer exists, and look at all kinds of clothes.
At that time, each store had a sharp selection of fashion,
It was interesting just to look at it, but now you can buy most things anywhere.
Although it has become more convenient, I feel like going to the store has become less fun.
This time, my younger child fell asleep, so I was able to take my time to look around the store.
On the second floor of the main building, my wife compared cosmetics.
I had a drink at the smoothie bar next to it.
It is surprising that the cosmetics department is on the second floor.
I'm a little happy that there are more spaces where you can eat and drink, including the men's building.
When it comes to lunch in Shinjuku, it can be difficult because there are as many restaurants as there are stars.
The most memorable place for us was the ``Zenen Annex'' in Shinjuku 2-chome.
I mainly go there at night, but this place is special.
Even if it's a little far from Isetan, I still go there.
Whatever you eat, it's delicious.
Whenever someone asks me for recommendations in Tokyo, I always recommend them.
Everyone who went there said it was delicious,
I don't think there is anything wrong with that.
Needless to say, the recommended dish is the ``Boiled Gyoza''.
As expected, I ate too much, so after the meal I took a short break at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden .
I entered the park for the first time in 16 years, and as the name suggests, it is an ``urban oasis.''
Although it is in the middle of the city, it is surrounded by nature.
Last time I went there during the day for a sandwich and wine,
Immediately the memories of the two of us getting drunk and sinking come back...
I remember the ``time'' of 16 years as if it were yesterday.
My husband and I were able to talk about a lot of things, including things that were fun, things that made me happy, and things that were painful.
Now we have two children,
Living in Fukuoka, every day is fulfilling, but
It hasn't changed that I've been ``happy'' ever since I registered.
I'm sure it will remain the same from now on.
While having such a conversation, we headed to the meeting place "Ebisu".
Once again, my husband and I headed there on the Yamanote Line, which we had ridden together for the first time in over 10 years.
