If you’re looking to take a break near Toranomon, I recommend “Bakery & Grill Sawamura Toranomon” or “THE 3RD CAFE by Standard Coffee” located within Toranomon Hills. This area has been developed with the aim of hosting the Olympics, and even a Toranomon Hills station on the Hibiya Line has been created. However, be cautious […]
It is a little hard to find, but it is a very pleasant place overlooking Hibiya Park and the Imperial Palace. To get there, go to the movie theater from the 3rd floor and take the escalator to the 6th floor. There is a cafe on the same floor, so you can buy a drink […]
It is a gorgeous shrine with the Fujizuka. There is also a Noh stage and various events are held here. The path to the Fujizuka is steep, so be careful when going up and down. If you like Shogi, you must know this shrine. The Shogi Hall is right next to the shrine.
An elevated complex between Akihabara and Okachimachi stations. It is an interesting space where stores selling shoes, bags, wallets, and other goods are gathered. There are also cafes such as Yanaka Coffee, so take a break after a leisurely look around.
The former Bansebashi Station has now been transformed into a place to experience art as the art project “JAPAN ART BRIDGE”. (It used to have nice cafes, restaurants, sundries, and other stores, but most of them have been replaced!) It is a little far from the station, so you don’t pass by it often, but […]
Otemachi and Marunouchi are in the Ujiko area, so many people in suits line up for Hatsumode. Akihabara is also close by. We recommend the amazake (sweet sake) at Amanoya, located on the approach to the shrine. This highly nutritious amazake is made with only rice and malt. The malt is made in the basement […]
The public is free to enter the campus as long as they are not in large groups. You can have a very nice time walking along the beautiful streets, looking at the buildings, and eating in the cafeteria.
It is a new and beautiful shrine and has an “Agaki Cafe” as well. Designed by Kengo Kuma. The path by this shrine leads down to the Edogawa Bridge. The Kagurazaka Station ticket gate is also close by, making it a good junction point.
This shrine is famous as the Ise-san of Tokyo. Amaterasu (the inner shrine) and Toyoke (the outer shrine) are enshrined together, so you can visit the shrine as if you were in Ise.
You can enjoy a Japanese house and its garden in the fashionable city. It is not large in scale, so you can visit it in a short time. The atmosphere is nostalgic for the common people.
