Incredible views, ask to be put on waitlist for tables infront of the windows if none available. 2000 ¥ cover charge after 8PM for jazz (which is great). Carnegie Hall cocktail for the win!!
Excellent kakigori (shaved ice) shop! Try Himitsu-no-ichigo (strawberry) when available. Very popular shop so be prepared.
Tourist place with a Shinto shrine just after a walk through souvenir stalls. Expect crowds, smiles. Positive experience as we knew it's a very popular place (especially weekends/holidays)
Everything is truly good. It's one of the best restaurants in Japan, world known. You have 4 chefs, each one is serving up to 4 people maximum. So imagine a 12 people room, cozy but really classy.
Came here at 6:45am on a Tuesday and waited for 15 mins only. Around 20 seats in the restaurant so come early! Def get the omakase - the sushi is really fresh!! 👌🏻😬
Nice ambience, friendly staff, delicious skewers (start with the tasting menu to make sure you get something unusual and you'll be surprised how gorgeous they all are), generous sake/shō-chū servings!
everything is good here. craft beer flights for ¥1000. 500 mL glasses for same price. food is delicious and reasonable— grilled fish, yakitori, beer batter karaage, etc. amazing atmosphere. so fun!
This is a hidden gem! Tucked away behind expensive shops; there is this little food court with food trucks, craft beers, music, benches and friendly people.
One of the most famous and popular restaurant for Yummy and unpretentious gyozas. Opens at 11.30am but there's a line forming outside as early as 11.15am. My favorite is the fried gyozas with garlic.
Great single origin coffee brewed in a method of your chouce. By night, turns into a hip cocktail spot. Nice spot for working.
Hands down my favorite bar in Tokyo. English speaking. Amazing bar/speakeasy with great drinks. Call beforehand to confirm seating availability. They just opened a location in Paris.
Soba has great texture. The tempura and egg rolls are popular choices. I had the chicken soup which had a really nice broth. The noodles make the dish. Come before 6pm to avoid the queue.
Everything about this place! Love it. Come at 4pm when they open to watch the team get into action. Get the fatty option. Mustard is some of the best, goes straight into your nose.
Everyone who has gone to Tokyo has told me that this pizza is stellar. They are not wrong. Living in NYC we get tons of great pizza but man, this is maybe the best I've ever had. Get the Margherita.
They have an English menu now, pictured. Unique place mixing Japanese coffee culture and quality coffee, which is lost in most third wave shops in Japan. Pricey, but worth it.
Yakumo Saryo is the creation of the Andaz hotel designer Shinichiro Ogata. The teahouse and restaurant are a Zen minimalist’s nirvana, awash in stone, wood, and natural light. Leia mais.
Ohitsuzen - choice of meat or fish (choose bbq Eel) on a bowl of rice, with various condiments and miso soup. You mix it all together with brown rice tea. It's delicious and very cheap! 1850Y each.
“This four-table tasting-menu restaurant pushes the boundaries of Japanese cooking. You’re at the mercy of the chef, but that is a great thing.” - Grant Achatz, chef/co-owner of Alinea in Chicago Leia mais.
A bit hard to find -- follow the address listed on Foursquare and look for it on the 4th floor of the building. Mr. Ueno and his staff make beautiful custom cocktails based on your drink preferences.
Stunning. No menu. Bartender gives you a unique drink with a story (Yuzu from his neighbors trees, vintage & rare Italian bitters, etc). Start with a simple gin and tonic (it's like an airy cloud)
Delicious pork cutlet (katsu). I'd say one of the best. You'll have options on the breed of pork. From Kurobuta (Black Pig) to Chamiton who have green tea as part of their diet. Superb & tasty meat
Definitely recommend the beer flight, fabulous way to get acquainted with their selection of brews. Rocking Chair also good.
Look for swans on your way in, and enjoy the view. The perfectly maintained grounds are beautiful, I loved the trees representing each prefecture and the big lawn. Slow down, stay a while 👍🏻
Visit to get a comprehensive understanding of the origins of Tokyo and its development over the past centuries. Permanent exhibit includes real-size, reconstructed architecture from the city's past.
Tokyo's urban oasis is home to three museums, several shrines, a pond and a zoo. It's breathtaking during the spring Cherry Blossom season.
Best museum I ever been to. Interesting, interactive and available in English! A lot of information and very friendly, with activities for kids from time to time. Don't forget to download the app!!
Yanaka cemetery - focal point of the pretty and quiet old streets around Yanaka. Good place for a walk and to unwind.
You can never get bored in Odaiba, it is like an entertainment island. Full of shopping malls, museums, karaoke, bowling, oulets, beach, amazing sunsets, more relaxed japanese people, all kind robots!
This garden is one of Tokyo's oldest gardens. It was built by close relatives of the Tokugawa Shogun in 1629.
民藝という考え方は検討に値する。ヨーロッパの概念としてのカッコ付き藝術ではなく、日常生活の中で、実際に用いられているものの、美しさ、つまり、用の美をそこに見出すということ。
Nice museum, recently reopened. Connected to Ebisu station by a pedestrian passerelle that serves the nearby shopping district. Totally worth a visit.
In the 18th century, 47 ronin avenged their lord’s death before committing hara-kiri. Their stone graves are well preserved at this Zen Buddhist temple, as is their armor in the small on-site museum.
This Buddhist temple was built in 1681 by the 5th shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who dedicated it to his mother.
“I remember eating battered and fried uni wrapped in shiso leaf and never wanting it to end.” - Gabe Ulla Leia mais.
The most charming and warm of my Michelin 3-star experiences. Food was prepared with precision and subtly. Ask for counter seating; Chef Ishikawa will be an integral part of your experience.
Kappo restaurant serving modern fusion kaiseki. Owned by the chef of 3-star Ichigaya. Open 5.30pm to 12am http://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1309/A130905/13049130/
Lunch specials are good value, 3500++ for a set. Loved the traditional setting. Beef was excellent.
This is less of an izakaya, more of a 1 Michelin star restaurant, that has adopted izakaya format, just for the sake of it. Gaijin infested and expensive, yet still totally worth it!
噂通り美味しい！今まで自分が食べた蕎麦中で一番かも。130年の歴史が続いていること自体が素晴らしいですね！日本的な注文のやり方も面白かったです。待つ時間長いですが食べる価値があります。ありがとう存じます~^ ^♡
The food is fantastic. There were a few of us and we all tried different things, all of which were amazing. I can really recommend the prawns in creamy garlic chilli sauce.
Lively bar which surprisingly closes at 22:00. The interior reminds me of a school canteen. Stay away from their signature drink, it tastes horrible.
Closest entry to the Shinjuku station is the Southern Terrace. You have to exit the hotel building from the 2nd floor to be in the right street level.
the view from here is amazing. i believe it's closed on saturday and sunday keep this in mind
Go with an open mind. Definitely the most outrageous thing I've been to in Tokyo.
Muji flagship store with everything from clothes, boxes, kitchen items, furniture and bicycles. Don't miss their cafe Muji Meal, with fresh bread and pastry and light lunches.
Very touristy but definitely worth the visit! Good for couples as there is a common space to hang out, eat. Also love wearing yukata's as well! The baths are not extraordinary but fine. Recommended!
A walk in this garden makes you forget you are in a big city. Great scenery and nature any time of the year. A must visit for photographers and those who seek a little silence.
Extremely impressive. You can see almost upto 6km of places in Tokyo from the top. Visit during the day time for the best view. Evening view can be different and beautiful too. Best seen twice.
The 'Kill Bill' inspired theme will surely satisfy not only your taste buds, but your vision as well. Try the course menu, excellent cuts of sashimi and delicious yaki-toris. A must-visit in Tokyo.
One of the most beautiful modern bookstores I have ever visited. Drop in to browse the eclectic curated selection of books, music, and movies from all over the world
Authentic tempura! The place is very clean and tidy in a traditional japanese setting. The tempura batter was crispy yet not greasy at all!
You won't be surprised to find Yoshitomo Nara's innocuous girls printed on the furniture here – A to Z Cafe is jointly produced by the artist himself and creative group Graf. The wooden house in the
Tiny alley with tiny bars! Best for small groups, four people or so. Most charge a seating fee, but several do not. The one with pink furry walls had nice cocktails and seated almost 20 people 😲
Busy street with a lot of small shops. Explore with a couple of snacks from the local stores.
Coolest crossing in the world! Get a cool view from the shopping mall and metro station that goes over the road.
Real heaven for bookshop lovers ! Spend like ~5 hours drinking greentea and flicking through magazines and art books! One of the best spots to hang out in daikanyama
Angel Stain. Only 20 shots served daily. Worth it if you're a coffee nerd, it's unlike any other espresso you've ever had. Show up at opening at 11am or be disappointed.
Flower shop by day, at night serves drink in the scent of flowers. Happy hour 5pm to 7pm.
this place is like an early Williamsburg or East Londons Brick Lane, but way more chilled and obnoxious. Cool stores, nice cafes....
This garden is alway good for a relaxing walk. There are lots of benches which makes it very convenient for viewing the scenery.
ジョサイア・コンドルの設計により明治29年に完成した、日本建築史に残る洋風建築。英国ジャコビアン様式を基調とし、ルネサンスやイスラム風のモティーフ、トスカナ・イオニア式の装飾が特徴的。併置の和館とのバランスは、世界住宅史上希有とされている。
One of the best places in Tokyo to shop for cheap souvenirs. Shop and taste Japanese sweets and street food at the same time. Weekdays are less crowded.
Great market for finding Japanese food like green tea, dried scallops and rice snacks.
A must-see. Explore 7 floors of DIY Japanese cleverness from gardening supplies to pet supplies to hardware and stationary to Japanese space good. • The cafe is a good place to chill and use free wifi
Lots of high quality Japanese goods, particularly pottery, paper, wooden crafts, and fabric goods.
You can get tickets at Lawson stores in Tokyo. If you are in the US, go to your nearest JTB. You can also have your concierge at your hotel get tickets for you.
This is one of the most inspirational bars I've ever been to. Each cocktail features one or two local farmers market fresh fruit or veggie and one spirit. Pure simplicity at its best.
Great tempura with a wide array of choices from this 1 Michelin Star establishment. Ten-Ichi boasts out of the norm choices like Sea Cucumber tempura, Sea Eel with Bone and Onions. Try the chef set.
Happened upon this place after walking back from Yoyogi Park. The 40-minute wait was well worth it. Very small, but very friendly ppl. Best Udon.
The 7th floor is a gem. Trendy crowd, forward eatery scene and fantastic views at wrapped-around outdoor patio. One of Tokyo's best kept secrets.
One tourist trap that I would actually recommend. The show is super high energy and the costumes and props are awesome. You will never see anything like it anywhere else
El lugar está decorado como la casa del terror de la Feria de Chapultepec en los noventa. Muy chistoso. No es tourist trap: nadie habla ni tantito inglés y el menú sólo está en japonés.
Santa Cruz chain joining the trend of American specialty coffee stores in Japan. Staff is very friendly. Shinjuku station location means it's usually very crowded.
日中の薄暗い雰囲気そのままに、夜はバーとして利用頂けます。写真はIWハーパーロックチェイサー付き。お店に入る際に、『喫茶ですか？お酒ですか？』と尋ねられ、お酒だと答えると地下に案内されました。 喫茶とお酒のフロアを分けてお互い気持ちよく過ごせるような配慮が感じられました。素敵な時間を過ごせましたよ。
Sit at the bar to watch your dinner sizzle on the grill! Favorite yakitori: scallops, stuffed mushrooms, leaf-covered meatballs. Some great veggie options, too.
The unagi rice was really die-for. Really large portion of unagi over rice, the sauce is so good. I am not a rice lover but i finished all the rice- abaorbed all the essence and flavour from unagi. Leia mais.
Famous for being the original maker of taiyaki (fish-shaped dessert filled with sweet bean paste), Naniwaya opened in 1909.
Prepare to wait..looooong..but if you're a bingsu/shaved ice lover then it'll all be worth it! The avocado mascarpone one with granola was very nice.
Food garden on B2F has amazing food from a variety of vendors. The level below sells fresh produce and very good quality seafood, you can also get chirashi bowls here too.
My favourite Tokyo department store. Get lost in the basement food floor. Literally. It's huge, get breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, groceries, and all the specialty Japanese goods.
A small neighborhood bar in Shimokitazawa (take the express train from Shibuya). Local microbrews and imports like Rogue on draft.
They only have two kinds of pizza, but they were both incredible.Highly recommended to anyone looking to taste the other side of Tokyo. Owners and chef were also extremely friendly and welcoming.
Unlike the other fusion french restaurants in Tokyo, Crown takes a more traditional approach and has a fantastic atmosphere and feel.
Great Place - highly recommended if you are looking for a Japanese fashion - get dressed in a way no one would and look great
😍The BEST ramen chain ever!!😍Vending machine to place order. Customize your bowl of ramen; noodle texture, spicy level,condiments.. Enjoy in own private booth. So yummy🐽 but be prepared to queue ;0
Astonishing cuisine of Japanese and French fusion. One of the best meals ever had, definitely worth Michael 2* and could see it well become Michael3* in future.
