One of our favorite spots in Golden Gai. Ask the owner to play you a song and he'll play you 10. Inside of the bar is full of "Ashita no Joe" (aka "Tomorrow's Joe") boxing manga.
A little off-the-beaten path but great spot to find clothes you'd find the cool kids in Japan wearing. If I had a bigger suitcase I would have bought more. Rad jackets.
If you're staying nearby, this is a great spot to walk off your Golden Gai hangover (or to just escape the madness of Shinjuku or Shibuya)
Seek out the biggest fish head you can find and take a photo with it. If you can beat this one, tweet me @dens.
Onsen in a suburban quiet Tokyo area. It's more original and cheap. You get a towel for some extra bucks. Has a restaurant, a zen garden, sauna, jacuzzi and a relaxing spring in the open.
What a great place to hang out, chill have a coffee and read. One of the best book shops I've ever visited. it's open everyday until 2am so no need to hurry
So good, my favorite soba in Tokyo. I recommend getting the larger cut 'futokiri' soba with sesame dipping sauce, divine.
You pay 200yen at the entrance but it's more than worth it. Gardens are so beautiful, and the grass is more than inviting to sit on;)
