🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a humid embrace with temperatures between +25°C and +28°C. As it is the Tsuyu (rainy season), carry a sturdy umbrella or a light raincoat; the rain actually enhances the vibrant neon reflections in Shinjuku and the lush colors of hydrangea blooms. Pro-tip: Wear breathable, quick-dry fabrics and comfortable shoes that are easy to slip off, as some traditional izakayas may require you to leave your shoes at the entrance.

A chaotic, energetic market born from the post-war black market era, now a paradise for street food lovers. Don't miss the "Tataki-uri" (shouting candy sellers) who pack bags until they overflow. The name "Ameyoko" is short for "Ameya Yokocho" (Candy Store Alley) but also refers to "America," as it was the place to get US goods after WWII. Official site: Ameyoko Market

🍺 Hoppy Street
12:00–22:00
A nostalgic strip of open-air stalls where the atmosphere is as thick as the stew. It’s the best place to witness the "salaryman" culture unwinding after work. This street is nicknamed "Nikomi Street" because almost every stall serves its own secret version of beef tendon stew.
