Tokyu Plaza Harajuku

Tokyu Plaza Harajuku is a distinctive shopping and commercial complex located at the entrance of Tokyo’s famous Harajuku district, known for its vibrant youth culture and fashion. Opened in 2012, the building is celebrated for its striking architecture, including a kaleidoscopic entrance mirror and a rooftop area called “Omohara no Mori.” The plaza serves as a modern gateway to the area, blending retail, dining, and cultural spaces that reflect Harajuku’s evolving creative energy.

Harakado

Harakado is a modern commercial and cultural complex located in Tokyo’s trendy Shimokitazawa neighborhood, opened in 2023. Built on the site of a former public bathhouse and parking lot, the facility features a mix of shops, restaurants, and event spaces, including a rooftop terrace. Its name blends “hara” (belly/center) and “kado” (corner/gate), symbolizing its role as a new community hub in the area.

MAZE

The MAZE, often referring to the Hampton Court Maze in England, is one of the oldest surviving hedge mazes in the world, planted between 1689 and 1695 for William III. Designed by George London and Henry Wise, it covers about a third of an acre and features a complex network of paths that have challenged visitors for centuries. Originally intended as a garden feature for royal entertainment, it remains a popular tourist attraction today.

COVER

The **Covent Garden** area in London, often simply called “Cover” by locals, originated as a 17th-century fruit and vegetable market on the site of a former convent garden. Designed by Inigo Jones as London’s first planned square, it became a bustling commercial hub, with the iconic Royal Opera House established nearby in 1732. Today, it is a vibrant cultural and entertainment district, featuring shops, street performers, and the historic covered market.

Slime

“Slime” is not a traditional cultural site or fixed location, but rather a popular children’s toy and sensory material. Its modern history began in the late 1970s when the toy company Mattel introduced a pre-made, gooey green substance as a novelty item, and it later gained renewed popularity in the 2010s through DIY recipes shared on social media. Today, slime-making is a widespread hobby and creative activity, often involving ingredients like glue, borax, and food coloring.

Momon

Momon is a village in the Kashmir Valley of India, known for its ancient Buddhist heritage. It is the site of an important archaeological complex featuring a large stupa and monastic ruins dating back to the Kushan and Gupta periods (circa 2nd–6th centuries CE). The site reflects the region’s historical role as a center of Buddhist learning and culture before the spread of Islam in the area.

Lips

“Lips” as a cultural site typically refers to the famous Lips Bar in New York City, a historic lesbian bar that opened in the 1990s and became a landmark for LGBTQ+ nightlife and community. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and inclusive space, it played a key role in providing a safe haven for queer women and allies. Over time, it has been celebrated as an iconic venue that reflects the evolving history of LGBTQ+ social culture.

Erdrick’s Sword

Erdrick’s Sword is a legendary weapon from the *Dragon Quest* video game series, most famously appearing in the original game. Forged by the hero Erdrick to defeat the evil Dragonlord, it is a recurring artifact symbolizing courage and heroism across the franchise. Its history is rooted in the game’s lore as a sacred blade passed down through generations to vanquish darkness.
