Muji is known as the no-brand designer. The big outlet in Tokyo has everything from women's and men's clothes to accessories in an eco friendly style.
Order the L.I.T ("Lost in Translation") martini (sake, Sakura Liqueur, Peachtree). It's tasty and red.
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.
No cool dude would seriously hang out/ shop here. It's Cat Street and the surrounding backstreets way down Takeshita and over the main road (Meiji Dori) under the unmistakable Harajuku arch you want.
Even if you don't buy anything, just explore this amazing toyshop. One of my favourite shops in the world!
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.
Oh man... I am a fan of a delicious, well made cocktail. This may be the best bar in the world. A well kept secret for sure.
I left the first tip here but it seems to have been erased. Get a gin & tonic (Tanqueray) and then shots of Jäger with Yuji! Too bad they changed their ice... but still my #1 bar in the world!
This Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower is 333 meters high. It was originally intended for television broadcasting. Today it is one of Tokyo’s most famous landmarks.
This shot bar is a SHOT bar. International visitors, English Speaking staff, and if you miss your last train, you will have an amazing night, filled with mixed shots (or straight if you dare)
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!
Now called Star Club. It is still open and look for the flashing red star light on street level. Near Avocado Mexican Restaurant.
This place is insane! It's an intersection on steroids that provides tons of amusement just watching the clockwork type interchanges of people, cars, and trucks.
this bar is has awesome frozen cup sake! great vibe and in a great part of Ebisu near all the yakitori joints!
best restaurant I've ever been to. all vegan. super nice service. everything included in the price!
Unbelievable department store. Best part is the food offering on the basement level. They have delicious food, thousands of options, breads, sushi, chinese, sweets.
People say that as department store is a must... I prefer its restaurants on the bottom floor. Two of them driven by Hide Yamamoto.
This store has promoted a DIY spirit since it opened in 1976. Today, it attracts those interested in anything from calligraphy and painting to bigger home projects.
This place is amazing! Fresh (seaweed still crispy), cheap (2 salmon pcs for ¥105), free green tea, English-friendly and gets sent straight to you via conveyor belt. If you don't go, you lose at life.
Multiple rooms situated around a Zen garden provides the perfect setting for the authentic Japanese cuisine. Try the twice-fried tofu - it's famous and comes in a variety of sauces and styles.
BEST vegan ramen in Tokyo. Hard to find, but worth the hunt. Follow signs to Keiyo Street / Line then ask for directions. It's very hidden, stage right of the UNIQLO store, past all the mini delis.
For a theme café, ARTNIA is well priced (pancake + soft drink set, ¥1200) and the food is delicious; quality tea and coffee, nice fluffy pancakes. The café itself is classy, too.
Gadgets, manga and "maid cafes". All quite overwhelming. Super Potato particularly recommended for retro gaming fans.
Ameyoko Market - tucked under the tracks of the Yamanote line between Ueno Station and Okachimachi station
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. 続きを読む
Fancy feeling like Rick Deckard? Get yourself down here, buy some fried noodles and watch the world go by. It's the closest you'll ever get to the White Dragon...
First place in Tokyo that have a descent beer many. Brooklyn lager for 945 jpy though :(
It is pretty cheap to get in and fun to see if you have nothing to do...I think it's free on specific days. A very cool park that is not as crowded as Yoyogi, which is not far from it.
Classic Tokyo izakaya culture jam-packed into tiny alleyways stuffed with izakayas for every taste (seafood, meat, even vegetarian!). The best place to bar-hop and to try new nibbles.
the coolest little street in all of Tokyo. Paved on top of a small river. Now home to niche fashion houses, moboff, and cool cafes.
Tomoyo (owner) is great! She speaks English and is very friendly. Grab a seat at the bar. Have a whiskey and chat about movies. She's got an impressive clientele (including Quentin Tarantino).
It never gets boring no matter how many times I visit this store. Too many things worth buying.
English menu is available. The cafe offers Japanese food from different regions of the country. Food is simple, delicious and affordable. Staff is super nice. Highly recommended.

Go in the evening during the golden hour and watch the sunset. Then wait for the sky to turn dark and the city ligjts to light up. That way, you get to see 2different sights with one ticket.
