Shinjuku PePe CAN DO and Other Essential Shopping
Visiting Popular Tourist Spot Kawagoe from Seibu Shinjuku Station
Seibu Shinjuku Station mainly consists of a railroad connecting Saitama Prefecture's main station Kawagoe and Tokyo. There are many people who commute to Tokyo from Saitama, but this line is also known for those who visit the old Edo town Kawagoe.
Kawagoe is a place where you can get to from Tokyo in an hour and is a splendid sightseeing spot where you can feel Japan's Edo period. There are plenty of places to attract travelers, such as stores dressing you up in kimonos, Hikawa Shrine (氷川神社), and walking in front of the monument time bell tower "Toki no Kane".

👓 Eyewear Store: Zoff
Seibu Shinjuku Pepe has a musical instrument store called Shimamura Music. As a musical instruments specialty store, it is one of the largest in the Shinjuku area, mainly to be divided into guitar, classical, and digital sections. We wondered if going to a musical instrument store while traveling in Japan was actually a thing. However, once we took a look around there were actually a lot of foreign tourists visiting the shop. Once we got more information, it made sense to why it is so popular. There are three main reasons, one, the store is tax-free. Two, Japanese made instruments are worldwide famous, and lastly because of the wide range of sheet music.

🥖 Soft and Sweet Bread: Komeda Kinsei Yawaraka Shiro-Coppe (やわらかシロコッペ)
The most popular item from the menu is said to be a mixture of sweet red beans and whipped cream. The simple combination of the Japanese sweet red beans, whipped cream, and a thin spread of butter with the super soft bread is surprisingly addictive. (Ogura Whip (小倉ホイップ), 280 yen)
Since it is near the ticket gate of Seibu Line, you can eat it on the train while you are on your way to Kawagoe.

🍴 Cute Mini Crepes: Wrapped Crepe Korot
When it comes to hand foods, crepes in Japan cannot be left out. Wrapped Crepe Korot sell a unique type of crepe that we have never seen before. The main concept of crepes is eating them right then and there, but here they sell the fresh crepes wrapped in a cute mini size. Making it so you can eat even once you get back to your hotel room later that day.

🥤 Daily Fresh Tapioca Milk Tea: Pearl Lady
Boba tea, tapioca milk tea, bubble tea, regardless of what you call it, it is a yummy drink that people all around the world know and love. Lately there has been a big boba tea boom in Japan which is why we wanted to mention the shop, Pearl Lady. Boba tea originated in Taiwan, and here also you can try it in all kinds of flavors.
Pearl Lady is said to have made the first factory Japan and they also only use Japanese made ingredients.
With that in mind we recommend putting off a cup of coffee once and try Tapioca milk tea.

There are plenty of activities and things to do in Shinjuku that is great to do that are not bars or clubs.

🤖 ROBOT RESTAURANT
It is hard to talk about Shinjuku without mentioning Robot Restaurant. Robot Restaurant is within Shinjuku's old red light district Kabukicho and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a massive representative of Japan's entertainment. Although it is said that the total production cost took only 10 billion yen, you can see a flashy, powerful robot show that goes beyond and above that budget. Since this big flashy show is such a MUST VISIT spot in Tokyo for so many, we felt it was worth mentioning. If you do go, be sure to print off the 2000 yen coupon (click here!)!
