Right behind the house where I live is a Chongryon-affiliated middle and high school called Tokyo Korean Junior and Senior High School. I see the students every morning on my way to work, but I’d never a…
Whenever I get together with friends in Tokyo, it’s always Shibuya or Shinjuku. That’s because they’re easy to get to. Even among people who work in Tokyo, a lot of them live in Saitama, west…
Despite the name, Nakameguro is actually a fair way from Meguro. It’s closer to Ebisu and Daikanyama, and like Daikanyama it’s a quiet, stylish neighborhood. A small river called the Meguro River r…
I’ve been working my way through every ramen shop in Ikebukuro that’s supposed to be famous, and Menya Musashi is going to be the last one. If you count the not-so-famous places too, there are tons…

Nippori, Uguisudani and Ueno are actually well known as Tokyo’s rough neighborhoods. Apparently Shinjuku and Ikebukuro used to have that vibe, but these days it has mostly shifted over toward Ueno. I don…
I went to Sanjusangendo, a Japanese restaurant in Odaiba. I didn’t pick the place myself; there was a get-together and I was invited. The food was underwhelming and the prices were high, so it’s no…
