"Shinjuku Omoide Yokocho" is a retro Showa-era drinking street located at the west exit of Shinjuku. Yakitori and motsuyaki restaurants line the narrow alleys, giving off a nostalgic atmosphere, but one of its charms is that it shows different expressions with each season✨
🌸Spring: Small cherry blossom decorations are sometimes displayed in front of the stores, and you can enjoy spring-only sake and seasonal snacks! The city is filled with vitality as if celebrating the arrival of a new season.
☀️Summer: More people are seen toasting with cold beer after work, and the alleys are filled with excitement. Summer nights, with the lights of lanterns shining, are truly photogenic📸✨
🍁Autumn: When it gets a little chilly, it's the season when you start to miss oden and stewed dishes. We recommend enjoying a relaxing time with autumn-only local sake🍶
⛄Winter: When it snows, the lanterns and neon lights of Omoide Yokocho create a fantastic scene❄️. The sight of steam rising from the oden stand is like a scene from a movie!
