Yamashiroya is a little crowded but I think worth the stop. Again, I can't keep myself away from toy stores. Even if I don't buy anything, I can't help but look around and enjoy what they have to of...
This place is beautiful during the fall. The leaves were all still on the trees and they were all shades of yellow, red, orange.There was a country wide market sale going on in the center of the park....
I went to Ueno Zoo after going to see the Cherry Blossoms. It wasn't too crowded, which was a nice change. It has a very nice layout, and has several species, several of which you will not see in the ...
After 5 clueless taxi drivers about the "Tokyo National Museum," I finally said, "Tokyo HAKUBUTSUKAN onegaishimasu" ... we were off!
There are special exhibits for around 1,500 ye...
I loved this place. Its super easy to get to, easy to find, there is a Denny's nearby and it was literally right around the corner from my Hostel. During the night there are lots of little spots to ea...
I laughed when I saw this store. It's a cool place and I had to browse inside. It's pretty decent priced and some of the designs are hilarious. Some I actually liked. I didn't end up buying anythi...
I have consistently had amazing ramen here. But then one day my daughter got really sick after eating here. I'm not sure what it was, but she said it tasted pretty weird. I still like this restaurant,...
This Daiso isn't bad, per say, but there are better stocked and more interesting Daiso stores in and around the city. Try the massive behemoth in Harajuku. Or, if your in the area, the Daiso near Myod...
"Tenugui" seems to be the equivalent of kitchen towels. But people wrap it around their heads too. My friend uses it to dry dishes and steam vegetables.
The tenugui-s sold here are very...
This small, hot, and crowded restaurant has some of the best unagi (eel) in Japan. From the street, Irokawa doesn’t look like much, but it is what’s on the inside that matters. I walked in and fou...
I'm crazy about Japanese sweets, though I acknowledge that they're probably not everyone's cup of tea. I like their mildly sweet nature. You'll often find anko, or red bean paste, in the center of Jap...
Whoever wrote the overview for this park is largely mistaken in almost all the details, according to the park's own pamphlet. Hyakkaen means only "Garden of 100 flowers," and it opened in 1...
Pretty darn good, we stayed in room 131. Beautiful, comfortable. free tv (savoy hotel you must pay 100yen for 40 min.) the bed was huge, massage and recline automated. There was a control panel for ac...
The place have 2 entrances, one for the Bar, and other for the goods shop.
The bar have a very loud music so you need scream to talk with your friend. The food is really good, but a little expensive....
They do a wonderful job at this little ryokan.
The absolute BEST part of our stay was the FREE breakfasts. Don't be fooled by the description of Toast and Coffee. They definitely go the extra mile....
My sister had read about this place in her guidebook. We didn't have to wait too long before we were seated and the waitress gave us tea and pickles before we guessed at what we wanted on the Japanese...
Otoya is a tradition Japanese tei-shoku (meal set) with a healthy twist: all items are conveniently tagged with a calorie count, and overly heavy or fatty sauces aren't used. The food was really delic...
I ordered "Oebi tendon," 1,680yen. Delicious. It arrived with miso soup, green tea, and pickled greens. Two huge shrimp lying across the bowl, along with sweet potato and tempura jalapeo. Ev...
For those that enjoy a good fried katsu, this is the place to be! The owner is a legend in the world of miso katsu. He appeared in many TV shows testing the temperature of the hot oil with bare finger...
