Buy a depachika bento, take it up to the secret lawn on top of a 1930s department store.
Isetan's Art Deco flagship hides a green rooftop. Pick up desserts or a bento in the basement food hall — the depachika — and eat on the grass above Shinjuku. The easiest quiet lunch in the busiest station district on Earth.
