Shirokane-Takanawa is an upscale residential neighborhood you could call the Beverly Hills of Tokyo. Being residential, it doesn’t have many tourist spots, but a close friend lives there, so I often drop…
Suminoe is my favorite bakery in Tokyo. The value for money is unbeatable, and even on taste alone it holds its own against any famous shop. But it is actually a restaurant at heart, and I had always wanted to…
After Akihabara, I headed off to eat at Tokyo Ramen Street, under Tokyo Station. Tokyo Station is the starting point for the Shinkansen lines heading northeast and southwest, so it’s huge and there are c…
I’ve always loved fiddling with parts and building new gadgets, so I go to Akihabara regularly (back in Korea it was Yongsan). These days Akiba is completely taken over by moe and maid stuff, but I’…

My first day in Tokyo was rainy and the weather was pretty miserable, but on the second day it cleared up nicely. After eating, I headed to Rikugien near Komagome Station, partly to do some photography for the…
My first day in Tokyo was so packed that I didn’t make it anywhere except Aroma Classico. I really should have squeezed in a few more places. Looking at it this way, eating well is honestly hard work. Yo…
Last week I made a quick trip to Tokyo. I saw friends and visited some good restaurants, and Tokyo really is great ^_^ I should go more often. The first place I headed to as soon as I arrived in Tokyo was Aro…
