We were both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. We were seated in a cute corner table rather than at the counter top which removed us from the quaint bustling atmosphere where we felt something w...
Maruzen bookstore in Tokyo is really great. When I was living in Japan (from 2004 to 2007) I used to visited every weekend. It has a good selection of books and magazines and it is very confortable be...
Hibiya park is something of an earthly paradise. There's a saying in Japan, “green is the medicine of the eyes,” and walking into the park is a renewing experience. In the middle of the park, ther...
We went here to see a Jefferson Starship perform. The service is really good, the waiters are always ready to take orders, but they move around in such a way that our view of the show was never block...
This is the best burger I've had...in Tokyo. It's a pretty decent burger by American standards too though. I got the avocado burger set, and for thirteen dollars I got a nice, big burger, some fries (...
Kiji is a famous Okonomi-yaki restaurant based in Osaka, and this was its first venture into Tokyo, established in 1970. There's always a long line outside but a relatively quick turnover rate.
Over the years I have been to Luxor in Marunouchi and Shirokane several times both for lunch and dinner. The food is always very nicely prepared and the menu quite interesting. On the latest visit to ...
I love this place. It's a bit cramped and noisy because of the train -- but the food is just regular Thai food that is as good or better than the Mango Tree and all of the ridiculously overpriced Thai...

Architecture, Landmarks & Historical Places ( Tokyo Station )
There isn't much you can say about a convention space. I mean, it's basically a big box with ever-changing contents. The sections of the building set up for their architectural beauty are a lovely s...
Not a very large location, but the service was good and the food was excellent. Very California-esque as far as the menu is concerned - a fusion of Japanese and western components with a touch of Mex...

Saboten is a very typical, standard tonkatsu chain. Their price and quality is in line with Wako, another tonkatsu chain. And like Wako, they also serve their tonkatsu with sesame, which you grind to ...
