Tips Translated: Also known as "Electric Town", is the famous Akihabara electronics district of Tokyo. Every nerd's paradise! Video games, anime, manga and consumer electronics are the daily bread!
The best shopping place in Tokyo! Walk through the Ginza Main Street and you will find the best shops, restaurants and cafés.
I would recommend to visit Itoya, a nine-storey store selling a smorgasbord of stationary from the most practical to the cutest items you will ever need.
Relax in the gardens, see the famous double-bridge over the moat and the guards that stand watch, or do some exercise on the massive jogging course!
Either come early for the Tuna auction or at 9am to see the fish wholesale area (closed for visitors before 9). A few small restaurants outside, not worth. Line for Daiwa rest is huge, I did not try.
1-hour waiting time, at least. Omakase is now ¥3700! You can also order individually from the menu. Was delicious! Very friendly sushi masters.
Very nice view! I think the evening view is much better when all the lights are on. The art gallery is worth to look at too, with some strange and creative painting and arts. Thumbs up!
Magnet for TOK¥O's most gorgeous, vacuous, superficial women. #1 nampa sector. Clubs are overrated with noise restrictions. Addictive energy.
Take a few minutes to observe the people around you. They're all waiting for someone. Despite the crowd, Hachiko is still a favourite rendezvous point.
A urban hardware store popular with artists, graphic designers and young creative people. The massive flagship store in Shibuya might be a good place to find some unique souvenirs.
This is one of the Best clubs in Tokyo!!!Great for house, techno and a special place for drum&bass. Three floors in here, small lounge, main dancing floor and small bar on the third.
Fun fact : Shibuya and Harajuku are stretched less than a mile to one another. You can totally slide over in between for 5 mins.
On a Sunday, swing through and see the Dancing Elvises (Elvi?) and wander down towards the Harajuku entrance from some Harajuku girls. Good Okonomiyaki from street vendors, too!
Meiji Shrine (Meiji Jingu) is Japan's busiest shrine. There always seems to be a holiday, event, festival, wedding or ritual happening here. It's a great place to see life in Tokyo. Leia mais.
Nakamuraya Café in Shinjuku was one of the favorite venues where 1Q84 characters would meet and have important conversations. Leia mais.
Just a stone throw away is the eight-storey Kinokuniya Shinjuku main bookstore Tengo frequents in the first book.
Go to the bar with Robocop outside the door because they don't charge an entrance fee and the place plays heavy metal all night! The bartender is awesome and plays classic B-Horror flicks on the tv!!!
Of all the restaurants in Tokyo that serve those ever-popular cutlets of breaded, deep-fried pork — and they number in their thousands — nowhere stands out quite the way Tonki does. Leia mais.
Shimokitazawa is a hipster neighborhood that hasn't changed all that much since WWII. It is known for its quirky little shops, live houses (concert halls), cafes and bars. Leia mais.
Free to go in. Everything is also written in English. Takes about 15 min total then pay 400 yen for glass of beer. Very nice place with great history of the area.
Seems like you have to pay for each exhibit separately on 1st floor.
