Ueno/Akihabara/Asakusa

fujimo: Go to "Kissako"! Kissako is a Japanese cafe in Ueno Park. If you like green tea, Pls order "cream anmitsu." Yammy:) 続きを読む

naveen: Must-go: retro gaming mecca; bring yen to play the arcade games upstairs. Getting lost in Akiba & then stumbling into this spot was the moment that got me to quit my job to go off to start foursquare.

Rachel Edwards: A maid cafe with class and high standards. This is a place where maids are maids which deviates from the norm from other maid cafes in Akihabara.

Gabriela Shigihara: This place is great, but almost no one speaks English in there. If you want someone to help you, look for some employee with a brown armband written "English" on it. 👍

The Yurinator: Try the 特上タン - Beef tongue (via @Foodspotting)

welovetaito: It is the outer of two large entrance gates to the Sensō-ji in Asakusa. The gate, with its big red lantern and 2 statues of God of Thunder and God of Wind, is popular with tourists.

ToryBurch: Tokyo's oldest Buddhist temple dates from the year 645. Just outside its Thunder Gate entrance is a bustling market where you can find anything.
