In the Perfect Days column, we invite notable Tokyoites to share their dream day in their beloved city. Kristine Fel, known as k.fel, moved to Japan from Canada in 2024 and has since dedicated her career to documenting her travels, side quests, and passion for anime and pop culture. Today, Fel shares how she'd spend a perfect day in Tokyo.
To start her ideal morning, Fel would head to Swallow in Sangenjaya for a special cinnamon latte (with oat milk for lactose-intolerant friends) and a tuna salad bagel. Throughout the day, she'd explore shops for anime goods, visiting Suruga-ya in Shinjuku for secondhand merch, Animate Ikebukuro for new releases and manga, and The Jump Shop in Jimbocho for limited-edition items.
For lunch, Fel would journey to Akihabara, Tokyo's original otaku holy land, to indulge in a hamburger steak omurice at Kanda Tamagoken. This eatery, frequented by her VTuber friends, offers a unique atmosphere with decorations dedicated to various indie VTubers and anime characters, along with some of the best omurice in the city.
To wrap up her day, Fel would join friends at an Amakuchi party, a monthly event hosted by a Japan-based artist collective that bridges art, music, and anime. These gatherings often include artist alleys for local artists to sell their creations, DJ performances of banger anisong remixes, and a vibrant atmosphere that connects creative individuals within the city.
