I sometimes record my daily life for postcrossing members.
I am Japanese and my English is poor.

The other day I found an interesting pamphlet at the Travelers Information Center. It's the Tokyo Anime Map. It introduces lots of must-visit otaku spots in Tokyo.
If I ever meet an otaku who wants to travel to Japan through Postcrossing, I'd love to send them this.

I also bought this stamp.
It's a stamp commemorating the Tokyo Olympics torch relay. It had a slight wrinkle, making it unsuitable for collecting, so it was a bit cheaper.It should be fine for use in Postcrossing.

I bought these at the stamp shop inside the Stamp Museum.
These stamps are my favorites. They're a bit pricey, but I buy them whenever I find them.
People who own black cats really love it when I send them postcards with these stamps.

Today I went to the Stamp Museum in Tokyo. They have a Christmas exhibition going on.
They had a special postmark available only today, so I had mine stamped. It's the same design as the stamp released the other day. They were also selling postcards designed by the stamp's artist.

East side of Tokyo Station.
South of the Yaesu Exit.
Unlike Marunouchi, it has a modern appearance.
It features countless souvenir shops, bento shops, department store food halls, and a vast underground shopping area.

This is footage taken before entering the Sakashita Gate. Where in Tokyo do you think the Imperial Palace is located? It's actually right in front of Tokyo Station, surrounded by modern skyscrapers. Even if you can't go inside, it's a truly beautiful place.

This is the Imperial Household Agency building, visible immediately upon entering. It houses the "Imperial Household Agency Post Office," well-known to all postal enthusiasts. This is an extremely rare post office that cannot be used by the general public. I'd love to visit it someday.

I went to the Imperial Palace's autumn public opening. You can walk through part of the Imperial Palace grounds from Sakashita Gate to Inui Gate.
This event is held for a short period in autumn and spring and is very popular.

I lined up before opening time at the famous Échiré butter shop to buy pastries.
In Japan, there's a custom of giving gifts at year's end. Though it's not as popular now, I still send gifts to old friends every year. My personal touch is to send sweets that are as hard to get as possible.

Gyoza can be enjoyed casually not only at specialty shops but also at ramen restaurants and Chinese restaurants.
In most cases, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil are placed on the table, and you mix them yourself to make your own dipping sauce.

I went to a place called Masashi in Tochigi and had some gyoza.
They come in two types: yaki (grilled) and sui (boiled).
Like I mentioned before, this place only serves gyoza. No beer, no rice.

McDonald's winter staple is the "Gurakoro."
It's the nickname for the Gratin Croquette Burger.
When Japanese people eat this, they feel like winter has truly arrived.
I had one today. This means winter officially starts tomorrow!

The ChiiKawa x Coco's collaboration has finally reached its final week.
This time, the prize is a small doll.
I wanted to collect all the types, so I traded with another customer.
Actually, I had eaten a lot of sushi for lunch and was full, so I didn't really enjoy the meal.

Today for lunch, I went to a sushi restaurant called Choshi-maru. It's a bit more upscale than the cheap sushi place I usually go to. This week, they're offering medium fatty tuna at half price on weekdays. I didn't miss this chance.

Since turkeys aren't available in Japan, we celebrate Christmas with chicken instead.
Oh yes, it's been decided that Chiikawa will be made into a movie. Fans are thrilled. I'll be heading to the theater too. My first time since Star Trek: Nemesis. 22 years ago!

This year's Chiikawa Christmas plushies are these. Chiikawa and Hachiware are dressed as chickens. Usagi is "the leftover stollen."
Only Chiikawa could pull off such an outrageous design.

I came for new Chiikawa merchandise, but they were selling Detective Conan items on another floor. Of course, I bought postcards.

Is it weird that Japanese actors are playing Marty and Doc? I think it is. But I'm sure once I see the stage show, I won't feel that way anymore.
I've never seen a musical before, so I'm hesitating to go. I need to buy tickets soon—there's not much time left.
