Ginza is definitely one of the best places to shop in Tokyo (even though I haven't posted anything about that place)... I don't go there as often as Shibuya because Ginza is more for the "adults"; you don't see many high schoolers wondering around in Ginza. BUT they have Abercrombie&Fitch, (the best) Forever 21, H&M, and the newest: KATE SPADE NY!!
I haven't been there yet but I will make it my mission to go there ASAP (as soon as I'm finished with my SAT test which is this weekend).
Apparently, they are loads of items that they don't sell ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD so even if there's a huge Kate Spade in your country I still suggest you go here☺
When you go here I also suggest you go see Forever 21 too because they sell so many things that are exclusive to Ginza☺
Ok so I lied a little in the title. Today, I will teach you how to watch movies for a cheaper price in Tokyo. Unfortunately, I don't know cheap movie theaters in Tokyo as they are all the same price.
1. First day of the month
On the 1st day of the month, you can watch movies for ¥1,000. This is approximately $10, which might not seem cheap to most people from abroad, but compared to what we usually have to pay for movies in Tokyo (¥1,800) it's pretty cheap.
2. Women's Day
Every Wednesday is called "Women's Day", which means all the females can watch movies for ¥1,000. I've heard there's a "Men's Day" as well, but unfortunately most of the theaters in Tokyo don't have one.
3. Toho Cinema's Day
14th of every months is called "Toho Cinema's Day" which lets everyone watch movies for ¥1,000. This discount only applies to Toho Cinemas.
4. Being a High Schooler
If you bring a student ID or something that proves you're a high schooler, you can watch movies for ¥1,000. However this might be hard because they might not allow International Student ID or a foreign student ID. If you obviously look like a high schooler they might not ask you for ID.
I definitely recommend watching at Toho Cinemas. They're definitely the best theaters because they're super clean and pretty big (although compared to foreign countries, Japanese theaters are tiny). Toho Cinemas also has the most English films. They have a ticket counter AND a ticket machine, which means you can buy tickets without going to the ticket booth which might be helpful because the person that sells tickets might not speak English, but the machine does☺
Happy New Years!☮
I had this idea to start this website almost a year ago, but I never really had the time to complete it because I was so busy and I never wrote a single blog either O: So here I am, almost a year after I started this, writing my first entry.
I spent a very quiet New Year's Eve with my family watching TV in our living room (as do most Japanese people). On the morning of New Year's Day (which is called "Gan-tan" in Japanese) I went to Shibuya. I am still surprised at how only a few people are out on the streets during the first few days of New Year. The streets usually over-crowded with people were almost empty in Shibuya. It was pretty nice because I never get to peacefully shop in Shibuya, not with all the people running around on normal days. I really wish I took a picture of the famous Shibuya cross-way to show you guys how un-crowded it was but I forgot so maybe next year☹
