Sky Bar – Shibuya Sky Tower (Shibuya Scramble Square)

Perched on the 47th floor, this sleek, open-air rooftop bar offers jaw-dropping views of Tokyo’s skyline, including Tokyo Tower and (on clear days) Mt. Fuji. Sip a cocktail while watching the city lights come to life at sunset. It’s chic, romantic, and unforgettable. Arrive early — it can get crowded!

Tsukiji Fish Market

While the inner wholesale market has moved to Toyosu, Tsukiji’s outer market remains vibrant and packed with stalls offering sushi, grilled scallops, tamagoyaki, uni bowls, and fresh tuna. It’s a paradise for food lovers. Eat as you wander, or sit down for a sushi set at places like Sushi Zanmai or Tsukiji Itadori.

I’m Donut?

This viral doughnut spot offers fluffy, mochi-like donuts with creative flavors like custard, matcha, chocolate, and seasonal fruit glazes. The name is quirky, and the line is usually long — but worth the wait.

Red Bean Pasteries - Kabuki Theater

Inside the Kabuki-za theater complex, you’ll find a charming gift shop that sells beautifully crafted manju (steamed buns with red bean filling), as well as other wagashi (Japanese sweets). Even if you don’t watch a kabuki performance, the building and its treats are worth the visit for a taste of old Tokyo elegance

Toriyoshi - Omide Yokocho

Hidden in the lantern-lit alleyways of Omoide Yokocho ("Memory Lane"), Toriyoshi is a cozy spot for grilled skewers and cold beer. Sit elbow-to-elbow with locals as the scent of charcoal and tare sauce fills the air. Try the chicken meatballs, grilled liver, and shishito peppers.

Menya Musashi

A legendary Tokyo ramen shop known for its rich, pork-based broth and thick, chewy noodles. Their tsukemen (dipping ramen) is especially popular. Located a short walk from Shinjuku Station, it’s a satisfying, no-frills ramen experience loved by locals and visitors alike.
