Lala Port

In a move to bring more bustle to this quiet area, the entertainment-filled LaLaport Toyosu was constructed on the waterfront of Tokyo Bay. Several of the retail stores inside the giant complex are nothing new to Japan; finding these popular establishments in one convenient location, however, is definitely a treat. Among the 190 different shops, major retailers such as Tokyu Hands, The Gap, Uniqlo, and HMV are just some of the familiar names that eagerly await spendthrift visitors. As with any good entertainment complex, expect to find a diverse selection of appealing restaurants that serve up tasty international dishes from around the globe: Indian, Chinese, Japanese, American etc. Finding the right meal is a cinch! To round things off, there's even a movie theater, Ukiyo-e museum, grocery store, and the fantastic edutainment facility, Kidzania, for young kids (only available in Japanese). - Erin Sanchez
