Find peace and serenity at this Shinto Shrine in Shibuya. Make sure to visit both major areas (Naien and Gaien). You can also write a prayer on a piece of paper and then tie it to the wall of prayer.
Tsukiji is a MUST. Top five places I visited in Asia. Sushi for breakfast at dawn, watch the auction and your jaw drop because you will be consuming the freshest fish you've ever had in your life.
new oasis in Tokyo... new concept book shop, gallery, open bar, caffe restaurant, music shop ... I really LOVE this place !!!!!
If you're looking for the tourist bar-hopping experience, here you go. Hundreds of tiny 3-4 person bars, each with pretty eccentric owners. Try and haggle down the table charge, if they have one.
Top 5 sushi place in Tokyo and whole world. If you wonder why there's no photos in internet from Hashiguchi's great sushi it's because photography is forbidden inside. Just order omakase and enjoy!
One of only a few places in the world to have aged coffee beans. A very unique experience for coffee aficionados in an old-time setting. Very little has changed since it opened in 1948. A rare treat.
Listen to the DJ play Boston's "More Than A Feeling" at 6AM at this amazing little club.
Don't be fooled by the bottom most and 1st floor There's a door off to the left is the real entrance.
From 5 to 7 PM you can have a set with 2 drinks and a snack for 3200¥! All tables have a good view, but try to get lucky and get the ones close to the main window! Amazing view! Worth every penny!
Best metal music bar of Japan! If you're a lover of the style you can't miss the team that has worked to make it THE best!
This has got to be one of the coolest places to get espresso drinks in the world. The old world Japanese building with a one man espresso show & garden make for a unique experience. A must in the area
RT @davidchang: i think the best ramen in world is the tsukemen at Rokurinsha in Tokyo. the only ramen i'd queue up for. 続きを読む
Kirk recommends via Facebook: "Mutekiya ramen in ikebukuro is amazing. And they're open super late"
Café from the music/fashion house Kitsuné. Incredible espresso machine. Friendly service. Really nice, quiet location but still very close to the subway.
Order several small plates to share then take a walk on the balcony. If it looks familiar it's because this is where The Bride fights the Crazy 88s in "Kill Bill Vol. 1"...silly rabbit.
World-famous for tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), this local favorite—housed in a former pre-World War II bathhouse—is hidden away in a back alley behind a busy Omotesando street.
Highly recommend the course menus. 📝. Ask the friendly staff to grill the choice cuts for you, they did ours perfectly! 👍
"The independent kissa (cafe) is perhaps the greatest hidden gem of Tokyo. Completely unmarked and located in a residential area, the Kissa Sakaiki is a jazz bar that hosts local artists and actors."
Nice bar with a great whisky and vinyl collection. And of course, unlimited bar snacks in little mason jars! #win
This is a tiny cafe that cares about two things: serving delicious coffee and making sure their customers have a pleasant experience. Open from 8am (10am on Sat. And Sun.) until half past midnight.
Very hip. Always great music playing, relaxed vibe, great coffee & cocktails (the latter start at ¥1000 or so). If you want to chill, this is the place. To eat, go to Bondi around the corner.
Terrific hostel in Taito. The bar area is populated by a mix of guests, locals, and salarymen at night.
