Dotonbori concentrates Osaka's restaurant signs, canal views and entertainment streets around the Dotonbori River. Start with the waterfront and Ebisubashi, then use the adjoining streets to explore places to eat. The district is a broader walking-and-dining stop than the individual Glico Sign viewpoint, which sits within it.
Explore Roppongi Hills at street level, then choose an exhibition, a meal or Tokyo City View to give the visit a more focused destination.
American Village is a waterfront shopping and entertainment district in Mihama, Chatan. Depot Island's colorful streets, restaurants and seaside setting make it a place to wander between stops rather than a single attraction with one entrance. Choose the businesses you want to visit individually, then leave time for the waterfront.
Outside Shibuya Station, pedestrians cross from several directions during the same signal phase at Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The surrounding screens and converging streets make the intersection part of the experience of Shibuya itself. Treat the crossing as a short stop within a wider neighborhood walk, keeping the pedestrian routes clear while taking photographs.
Kokusai-dori links the prefectural-office area with Makishi through central Naha. Souvenir shops, restaurants and music venues line the route, while side streets lead into covered shopping arcades and the market area. Use the avenue as a starting point for exploring Naha's commercial center, allowing time to turn off the main street.
Heaven's Gate gives maidreamin's Akihabara restaurant format a strong stage-performance focus.

Tokyu Kabukicho Tower stacks entertainment venues, dining and hotels above Shinjuku's Kabukicho district.

Karaoke Pasela Ikebukuro Honten offers private-room karaoke with food and drink near Ikebukuro Station's west side.
