Harajuku Tourist Information Center

Mentioned on 
Travel agency
Bicycle rental service
The Harajuku Tourist Information Center is a small, but helpful tourist center located in the heart of Harajuku. It has bilingual staff who are able to provide information on attractions, restaurants, and hotels in the area. The center also offers free wifi and a variety of brochures and maps.
We went here to pray. Please note that there’s no toilet or wudu area inside the center. But they have provided water bottles spray for wudu. Prayer mat and telekung is also provided. You can also give donation to help improve the prayer space as there’s a donation box provided. The person in charge is very welcoming and friendly lady. She even gave me a booklet containing where to pray and find halal food in Tokyo. This will be so useful for my future trip. Because the prayer space can only fit one person at a time, while waiting for turn, feel free to browse the halal food section. Thank you HTIC!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

The experince was quite bad. As we reached the place , only we both in that place. But both of the crew were somewhat bias or racist as they didnt welcome or greet us when we entered the place as. We spent there quite some time , the place was so quiet as they were being aloof & no smile or say anything at all , until the next group of other foreign custormers entered , they bow & welcome & greet them immediately. Isnt it awkward & fake? After that, one of the crew know that he didnt greet us yet since we entered when nobody else there he then decided to greet us later. I wont come back ever again

The guides are very accommodating and very helpful! Just a tip on what to book/not book... Book the Sumo experience - super cool. Only book the robot restaurant if you want to experience a tourist catered night time cheesy light show centred around mainly drinking :) Good for a cheesy night out. Don't book an animal Cafe that isn't cats if you are not into animals being confined to small cages that are not their natural habitat or anywhere close to it and that are clearly hungry/bored out of their minds. The worst ones are the owl, otter, chinchilla, hedhog and other exotic animal cafes. We were in tears after visiting the otter cafe and regretted every minute of it. The otters were clearly mistreated and stressed out. A horrible experience and the worst side of Japan that I have seen.

I highly recommend this company. The staff were really helpful. Especially the girl, she went out of her way to help me find a doctor to get medication I needed urgently. I came back and booked a tour to Mount Fuji which was amazing and well priced. It worked out cheaper then doing it ourselves, catching trains and buses. Great staff, great tours and services on offer.

A huge scam. We rented unlimited Wi-Fi and even went back to EXTEND the rental, and they took our money for the extension. However, from beginning to end no one told us there was a limit of 10GB. We called and the man on the phone said after 10GB it will slow down. No one ever told us that, and it’s still a lie because the internet said “no connection” after 10GB and we restarted it at least 10 times. We feel extremely cheated because we made a stop specifically to go extend it. Instead of giving us a fresh device, they charged us for 3 days extra (as if we were getting a new device), but gave us the old one again. Extremely deceitful people.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

Mentioned on 
Garden
Nature & Parks
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a former estate turned 144-acre park, was originally created as a recreational garden for the Imperial family. It is an Important Cultural Property and features three types of gardens: English, French, and Japanese. Throughout the year, the park hosts various events such as photography lessons, chrysanthemum flower exhibitions, and traditional Japanese art performances.
Went here for the second time and love it more! The garden is clean and spacious. Cherry blossoms can still be seen even though it is already at the end of April. There are also few tea houses and Starbucks in this garden. Great park for doing picnics and walking.

After a very heavy first night in Japan, I headed here to wander through the beautiful gardens. If anything is going to clear your head and help give you clarity in life it is this place! Sitting on the grass and looking into the distance you can see the city of Japan and it's beautiful skyline of buildings. The park was so quiet and serene, with so many pretty flowers and greenery. I remember many times in Japan on my trip, but this place was definitely one of them. Loved it
Laura Irons — Google review
Every time I visit, it feels like stepping into an oasis in the middle of a desert. The park offers a variety of seasonal flowers, plants, historical buildings, and even a modern Starbucks. If you're looking to escape the crowds of Tokyo, this place can be quite refreshing. There is an entrance fee of 500 yen. It might seem a bit expensive compared to other parks, but the park is well-maintained and beautiful. I especially like the grassy areas in the park. Just a friendly reminder that bringing alcohol and pets inside the park is not allowed.

アクセス 温室目当てなら新宿御苑駅か四谷三丁目駅で降車して大木戸門から入園するのが楽かもしれません。 駐車場も同じく大木戸門にあるので、車で行く際も同様です。 ベビーカーや車椅子、歩行補助器具等を使う場合 誰でも気軽に楽しめるように開かれた植物園なので、入園ゲートから温室内まで通路が広くてフラットになっていますが、実際に自然の中を探検しているかのような傾斜ポイントがあります。 トイレ 入口付近に温室内のトイレがあります。 植物 珍しい植物が色鮮やかに咲き誇っていました。 ダイナミックでありながらも品があって感動しました。 入園料は500円ですが、これは値上げするべきです! また行きたい!と思いました。 (Translated by Google) access If you are looking for a greenhouse, it may be easier to get off at Shinjuku Gyoen Station or Yotsuya Sanchome Station and enter from Okido Gate. The parking lot is also at Okido Gate, so it's the same when you go by car. When using strollers, wheelchairs, walking aids, etc. The botanical garden is open for everyone to enjoy, so the passage from the entrance gate to the greenhouse is wide and flat, but there is an incline point that makes you feel as if you are actually exploring nature. toilet There is a toilet in the greenhouse near the entrance. plant Rare plants were in full bloom. I was moved by the dynamic yet elegant atmosphere. The entrance fee is 500 yen, but this should be raised! I want to go again! I thought.

Beautiful garden in the middle of busy Tokyo. I love everything even though I visited it in a cloudy day during winter. I found my inner peace there, peaceful time. Would definitely love to come back to see how it is seasonally

Outstanding garden. Beautiful trees and landscaping including ponds/small lakes. Was ultra surprised to see some cherry blossom trees in full bloom when other parks didn’t have them yet due to the cooler weather. This year the blossoms were delayed in most places. Definitely a beautiful park to walk and spend a couple of hours. Check out Shin near by for a good lunch.

Expansive park with areas of many different feels to enjoy. Great for families, couples, and solos. It's often crowded (especially the Starbucks inside, so bring in your own from the one just outside the park #lifehack). I liked the recent special chrysanthemum exhibit.

One of my favorite park in Tokyo. Huge amount of open space and tons of well maintained trees and greens and different types of flowers. We saw lots of roses late autumn still. But we missed most of the foliage. If you want a quick escape from this big city, this is a must go. Best for picnic on a mild sunny day. You also see there are couple coffee and tea shops to relax a bit.
Wai Ho Wu — Google review
Peaceful park at the center of Shinjuku that is one of the most congested areas in Tokyo. It costs $5 or so to enter, but on the flip side, you can enjoy a very clean and peaceful park with a rich nature. The cherry blossoms here are something you need to see if you come to Japan in spring. Highly recommend a place to visit, whether you are a tourist or not.
Kaz Tak — Google review
One of the most beautiful parks during cherry blossom season. Absolutely stunning during that time. There is a large selection of different cherry tree species and most plants have small labels. I can recommend having tea and some sweets in the tea house in the center of the garden.
Johannes Eiglsperger — Google review
Beautiful garden. Visited in mid-February 2024 and cherry blossoms were starting to bloom. Grass lawns were yellow though. Lots of people and young families come here to picnic or eat lunch on benches or grass lawns. There’s a student and senior discount on tickets too (250 yen versus regular 500 yen price).

Very peaceful very big island of greenery and tranquility in the center of the city. I leisurely spend their 4 hours and regret nothing. Heidi suggested to come in the cherry blossom time but regardless it's still beautiful. Do know that there's a small cover charge to get into the park

Just about a 10 minute walk from Shinjuku station, this park should be a must visit for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of shopping for which Shinjuku is famous. Yes, it costs 500 yen for adults to enter, but to access these lawns, small woods, greenhouse, the Japanese gardens, and other features I'd consider this a bargain! Just walking around and enjoying sitting on the lawn or a bench is a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon and recharge - many people will pick up food for a picnic on the way from the station. Inside, the park is very well signposted, and points of historical interest have information in English. This provision of information extends down to trees and plants being labelled, even in the main park. The whole place is usually spotlessly clean, and one of the few public places that still has rubbish bins. There are vending machines, as well as a shop selling traditional Japanese desserts. Toilets are free, modern, quite clean and have soap dispensers. Just remember to check the opening hours, as the park closes in the afternoon!

This garden is a must visit in Tokyo, the scenery is spectacular giving you a Insta worthy photo in any angle. The garden is great for any age. The park was so quite and a great place to clear your mind or just rest. On my first day in Japan I took it easy and headed there for a few hours to ready up for the days ahead of me! The gardens are very well maintained with dozens of species of flowers and trees that cover like a canopy. The best time to visit is in fall where there are several colours of plants creating a beautiful contrast! Hope this helps :)

Great botanical garden, lots of plants I didn't even know existed. Flowers were rotting slightly when I came. Maybe if you come in spring instead of summer you will see more. Average garden except for an indoor waterfall. Lots of special leaves and even vanilla, lemon, and coffee trees.

平日の夕方訪問。 チケット購入をゲートの前ですることも交通系ICカードで入場も可能。 中はかなりひろくてスタバ目当てに歩く人もいれば外人が中の景色を楽しむためにたくさん来てました。 途中ではかなり広々とした芝生の広場があるためピクニックしたり昼寝に利用してる人もいて気持ちよさそうでした。 都会の中で自然と触れ合える場所であり整備もされているため綺麗で虫なども少なめなのでデートでの使用もアリだと思います。 (Translated by Google) Visited on a weekday evening. You can purchase tickets in front of the gate or enter with a transportation IC card. The inside was quite spacious, and some people walked for Starbucks, and many foreigners came to enjoy the scenery inside. On the way, there was a fairly spacious lawn square, so some people had a picnic or took a nap, and it seemed comfortable. It's a place where you can come into contact with nature in the city, and it's well-maintained, so it's clean and there aren't many insects, so I think it's perfect for a date.

Beautiful place amid 新宿 and you can find a moment of peace here. The park contains a well maintained grassland. Whether just sit here and enjoy the calmness, picnic or lay down, it was just so comfortable. Fresh air, tall trees for pics, and you can easily find a coffee for a rest. It’s a very nice place to wind down.

Not a Tokyo “must see” but still a pretty park. The admission fee is justifiable for those with a student ID (about $1.50) but a little high for adults ($3.75) We spent around a few hours walking around and enjoyed the open grass areas and zen garden bridges after our first few days in Tokyo, but after going to Kyoto the next week it offered much better parks to the point where I think this park is only worth it if you aren’t planning to make it to Kyoto. Additionally the Starbucks in the center of the park has a nice view and offers some Japan only matcha flavors which I think are worth checking out if you drink coffee.
Josh Webster — Google review
Gorgeous garden in the middle of the busy city. we came during early November, and the trees haven’t turned yellow or orange yet, still mostly green. But it is very calm. Tickets were 600 I think and cheaper if you are student or seniors. The garden is huge, but the map is understandable and easily comprehended.

I visited the park 3x, twice at spring and once at very late winter. Surprisingly the park was beautiful in every of my visit. In spring, the park full with old cherry blossom, the trees full with flower until its bench so low so you can take pictures by just standing near it. In late winter, the park full with ginkgo and momiji, their yellow and red make the park very very beautiful

A very nice garden with a lot to explore. We spent a whole morning walking around, into the greenhouse, and to the gardens with different themes Weather was perfect, despite being a little chilly, was perfect for a stroll, enjoying the serenity, away from the buzzing and busy streets of Shinjuku. Great for a morning walk and will probably have a small picnic the next time there. Highly recommended
Hun Wee Toh — Google review
Such a phenomenal park. There are so many things to see, we saw the cherry blossoms, the greenhouse, and just the overall walkways are so pretty. You apparently need to get tickets to see the cherry blossoms on more popular days, but we went on a less popular day, and it was raining. The landscaping is impeccable. My favorite was the greenhouse, there were so many different plants to see and they had clear descriptions with each plant.

A wonderful and serene place to visit, although it was raining when we visited here, it was a great place to come and walk around in the calm amongst the city of Tokyo. Lots of prestine open spaces to absorb nature, history and culture. The cherry blossom had just started to blossom too. An excellent visitor centre that had a cafe serving lovely drinks and food too. I'd recommend visiting here 😁🇯🇵👍

This is a lovely park with a full greenhouse and panoramic views of the city. Such a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle. I really enjoyed the greenhouse where the temperatures were tropical even though there was snow on the ground outside. I came out in a perfect time in February where all of the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. This place was easy to navigate and had maps in many different languages. Highly recommend going to the visitor center and learning more about the national parks of Japan

Museums
The Nezu Museum, situated in the upscale Aoyama district, houses an extensive private collection of pre-modern Japanese and East Asian art. The museum features a diverse range of items including Chinese bronzes, paintings, calligraphy, sculpture, and archaeological materials. It is located just a short walk from Omotesando Station in an area known for its architectural showcase streets and international boutiques.
One of my favorite little museums in Tokyo, located in Aoyama residential area. Love the annual Ogata Korin’s exhibition along with beautiful Iris in season at the garden. There is a little tea house in the garden and you can experience tea ceremony there.

Nice museum in the middle of busy Tokyo and a great way to spend an hour or two. No photos are allowed in the exhibitions. The grounds are beautiful. The cafe was nice to stop at for a short break. We did have to wait for about 20 min to be seated. The view was beautiful, looking out into the gardens. I would recommend if you are interested in East Asian art and artifacts and even if you’re not. The collections are stunning. They also have a nice gift shop inside.

A strange experience, with opposing vibes that really threw me off. The museum is described as a beautiful building with a lovely and well kept Japanese style garden. And although this is true, the buildings ultra modern and sleek design really doesn't mesh well with the more natural look of the wilding garden outside. The juxtapositions carry on inside. The reception staff were kind and welcoming, but the staff on the floor (the attendants within the exhibits) were quite cold and indifferent, acting more like strict teachers or librarians. Despite the museum being fairly busy, and thus considerable noise from people simply moving around or talking in the concourse area, next to absolute silence was being actively enforced in the galleries. It felt very arbitrary given that it still wasn't quiet due to the hubbub outside. The way in which the patrons treated the exhibits was one of high regard and particular 'snootiness', whereas (at least in the English sections), the descriptions of the galleries and each item on display was one that invited questions and conversation, to discuss and understand WHY these pieces were important. Maybe I was expecting something it never was, but it was a strange experience overall. I enjoyed learning some history about a particular part of Japanese (and east Asian) culture, but didn't get on with the more snobby vibe it gave off unlike many museums in Japan. If you're particularly interested in the exhibits specifically, then do visit. Otherwise, there are far better, more accessible, cheaper, and more welcoming museums throughout Tokyo worth your time.

Beautifully designed museum with traditional garden. When walking through the garden, make sure you don't mss the Suikinkutsu (水琴窟), a water harp created by using the sound of water droplets falling into small pots/basins in the ground. You have to be very still to hear it and it has a very magical quality.

Small but beautifully designed museum, featuring pieces dating as far back as the 6th Century. The scroll collections are delicate and intricate. The bronze collections grand and ancient. Descriptions provided in English. Wonderful gardens, arguably the best part of the museum visit.
Jason Chuei — Google review
I went there not for any particular art exhibition, but to appreciate the modern architecture of the building and the Japanese garden at the back of the museum. The famous Japanese style eave and bamboos along the entrance walkway requires no special mentioning. But Man! I was completely slept away and fall in love with the garden! It was a raining Spring day, the highly saturated green of the lush new grows contracting against red maples are just breathtaking, words cannot describe… Went to the cafe afterwards, an unique and meditative experience sitting within a super modern architecture surrounded by lush transitional Japanese garden.

Beautiful museum and peaceful outdoor garden. In early December the leaves were still vibrant and there were some dressed in kimonos for photos outdoors. The museum itself had many exhibits, one including Five Horses. Oh baby the 5 horses were something special. There wasn’t just 1 or 2, there were FIVE! 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴. But you only get 3 minutes for viewing! That’s an average viewing speed of 1.67 horses per minute! Recommended to book tickets online to avoid lining up at the door for entry, otherwise be prepared to wait.

Handsome small museum with a nice assortment of traditional Asian art. I got the impression that the items on display rotate, but I've only been there once so I'm not sure. Most items have excellent English translations. The museum is beautiful, but the garden is exquisite and should not be missed. One of the best I've seen in Japan and excellent for viewing autumn foliage. Also has a great gift shop! I'd say plan for 1.5 to 2 hours. Makes for a great morning.

A museum well known for its collection, as well as the building architecture itself they have a garden and a café inside the garden. The garden has a lot of Buddha sculptures and small pagodas when I visited the museum it was raining and they had public umbrellas that you could share. I prefer a nice sunny day, but rainy days were also nice.

Small but nice private museum, the Nezucafe is in the garden of the museum, you have to pay the entrance fee first, otherwise, there is no free access to the cafe. If you search from the web, there are two Nezucafe, one is in the street, offering hot meals, that one inside the museum only offer drinks and cakes.

A nice mix of an art museum with a great garden, including several tea houses. Found right at the end of the main street near Harajuku the Nezu Museum has a great collection of beautiful screens and pottery. Once you've finished reading and viewing all the indoor art/pottery walk outside and tour around the excellent garden. On of the few gardens inside Tokyo with quite the elevation component that adds to the enjoyment. The water design is also really quality.

Christina Yocca — Google review
Overall the collection is great. I like it. When I visited in 11.2023, the display was about Northern Song calligraphy. I’m not too familiar with calligraphy but I do know from my basic education that Song was an age of 文治- peaceful governing should I say?- and their culture was rich. The only complaint I can think of is that even if you know 漢字 a lot of the stuff is in草書(cursive) so it’s not likely that an untrained moderner can read much except the drawings. Unfortunately this is a private collection so they are sort of neurotic about protecting it… they will immediately complain if you even take out your phone. Kind of distracting and the price is rather high (¥2000) as well. If you’re an art student or enthusiast sure, it’s definitely worth it but if you’re a random tourist, I don’t know…3~3.5 stars out of 5 sounds about right to me. I’m not trained in art whatsoever so take my opinion with a huge grain of salt though. PS: I think the curator or the board of directors are kind of obsessed with the two headed sheep, saying it’s humorous and kind of using it as the mascot. Not sure… maybe my common sense stinks but I sort of thought it looked scary 😨

This place is worth visiting, even without seeing the exhibitions! While the exhibitions on Korean ceramics was interesting and had a lot of great pieces, the real star of the show is the architecture of the building (by Kengo Kuma) and the gardens!! These were the most incredible gardens I saw in Tokyo, and potentially even Japan. They were so vast which was so surprising, and so stunning and beautifully maintained.

Outstanding little museum in Tokyo. Best for a chill, non-crowded afternoon. Includes a stroll in a dense and very beautiful Japanese garden. Plenty of photo ops here.

It’s okay. But the museum policy is absolutely draconian. It’s like don’t even think about even taking out your phone. The display was about calligraphy of Sou (宋) so it was interesting but the restrictions are way too strict. I’m not even going to complain… but as a museum enthusiast these guys are the stingiest in the area (Roppongi triangle or whatever). They have a small ‘perpetual display’ that you can photograph and a very nice garden too though. But for the museum alone I’m loathe to give more than 2/5. It’s also the farthest from Roppongi station so not super convenient to visit by public transport.

The Edo-Tokyo Museum, located in Ryogoku, is a major museum that opened in 1993. It showcases artifacts from Tokyo's Edo period and hosts special exhibits. The museum's striking facade is inspired by traditional Japanese warehouses and features dioramas, large-scale models, a theater, and a replica of the iconic Nihonbashi Bridge.
Fabulous way to see historically or culturally significant buildings. Wear easy on/off shoes as you must take them off when inside the houses.

May 2019 my visit to the museum!!An amazing museum of Edo period (From ~1500 until ~1800 year) Incredible and infinite exhibits... They presented life in different aspects of daily life in Japan, There were also many models with the structure of an Edo period area!! Also incredible were the buildings and the figures of people in real dimensions that presented the routine of the time!! I also loved the interactivity they provided.... I remember there were 3 small rooms with how the lamps evolved, it was a real revolution every time... Great experience! I should emphasize that the museum was an architectural epic, spotlessly clean and there were several ways to tour!!Thank you Japan... Unforgettable experience from the look of the building, the perfect organization and tour even the souvenirs I bought were wonderful....!!

Do visit this historical event! Amazingly well preserved period correct items from Japan's beautiful past are on display for the public. Learn about Kabuki theater, the Tokugawa royalty, life as a commoner, as well as the art and architecture of the the Edo empire. The cost for adults is ¥1200 each. Paid parking is available.

The Edo-Tokyo Museum chronicles the life of the city formerly known as Edo and known today as Tokyo. The museum has full sized buildings from the Meiji Era as well as individual shops and residences, even an inari (fox) shrine. There are also smaller scale dioramas and articles from daily life in the early modern era. The museum takes a couple of hours at minimum and you could easily spend the whole day here. There are a couple of restaurants where you can recharge your energy. The museum has English language descriptions through out. Non flash photography is permitted in most places (with a few marked as flash permitted areas). I particularly enjoyed their collection of kanban (wooden sign boards). I took many photos but will limit myself to just one of a wooden sword votive offering to the Oyama shrine. Similar in some ways to the Fukagawa Edo and Shitamachi museums (both worth visiting), this is the one to visit if you can only get to one of them.

Great way to spend a few hours. Many miniature scenes with amazing attention to detail. Get up close and you'll feel like you're there! Many objects with good descriptions written up. Lots of people when we went including children who clearly we enjoying it. Not a kid's museum per se, but I think it was very accessible to younger ages. Also, full-size reconstructions of historic buildings, some you could enter. Great place, highly recommended!

The Edo Tokyo museum was great to visit. The architecture on the exterior of the building is absolutely incredible. The price of entry is also very reasonable. We came around 10am on a Sunday of a holiday weekend in early May and we only had to wait 10 minutes to buy tickets. There are numerous displays that characterize the evolution of Tokyo, including its culture, economy, feudal reigns, etc. There are also many beautiful paintings and miniature replicas of communities that are worth seeing. We were glad to have purchased entry to the special exhibit and it was easily worth the price so buy the combo ticket! We didn't use any audio guides or guided tours but have read that they are good. Plaques have titles of objects in English but explanations are all in Japanese so use guide options if you are a museum buff.

Great museum for all ages! My wife and I went for an afternoon to escape the Tokyo heat and spent about 2.5 hours here. Tickets were 600 Yen each for the main exhibit. You can drop your bags on 1F or 7F (7F also has restaurant and library, 1F has cafes as well). The miniatures really show detail and such a small scale over a large area. You travel through the past couple hundred years of Tokyo in a very engaging way.

This is one of the best museums I have ever visited. We learnt so much about the history of Tokyo and Japan. With replicas of so many different architectural structures, it is fun and educational. Spare some 3-4 hours for this place. Also there is a cool Japanese version of magic tricks show performed by every hour.

The entry ticket is 600yen till today. The Museum is has two portions, one is Edo period and the another portion is how the Tokyo is formed after Edo to current period. The artwork was simply mind blowing, even the small details were perfect, all are miniature product of old Japan within their residential areas, cars, clothes and how westernisation has established in Japan and many more. It is totally worth the visit, people who love history and who don’t like history will like these art works, kindly pay a visit you don’t regret.

Samurai Museum

Mentioned on 
Museum
Specialty Museums
The Samurai Museum in Shinjuku offers a captivating journey into the world of samurai, showcasing an extensive collection of armor, weapons, and art spanning 700 years. Visitors can witness live demonstrations with weapons and even participate in workshops. The museum also features a shop where unique souvenirs and samurai-related items can be purchased, including antique katana and other swords as well as armor with free international shipping available.
This is an excellent little museum in Shinjuku where you can see a great selection of samurai armor and weapons. There are regular guided tours in English that provide insightful details about the exhibits. Considering the focus of this museum is just armor and weapons, it is the right size. Everything is well presented and the staff are very courteous.

Unfortunately the museum was closed due to renovations but this review is for Takaoki and Ginjiro and their help with purchasing my two genuine antique samurai swords which were over 300 years old. Absolute pleasure to deal with over email and helping select my katana. If you’re in the market for the real deal, then look no further than these guys. Massive range of items to choose from.

This place was great! Quite a collection! Also got to come back any day to watch the samurai show as long as you bring your tickets! All the staff are lovely. Free english tour guide as well explaining each armour or item etc. We also did the sword course, and that was very informative about all the different kinds of swords of Japan, the history of if, the making of... we love this place!

This was one of the best tours I've ever been on. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgable and could answer complex questions in English. He was very kind, engaging and a bit funny too! I wasn't expecting much as we approached the building, but after having been now to several other museums, its astonishing how many original artifacts are housed here; way more than at Tokyo National, proportionally.
Laurabeth Merritt — Google review
This museum is amazing. It has lots to offer on Samurai history, but also on Japanese history. The tour guides can speak English and they will show you armor and arsenal from the past centuries. Also they will teach you Japanese history (from self-isolation until industrialization). You can also wear replicas and pose for photos =)

We had to wait an hour because they are booked out with tours as it is a very popular place. So we came back an hour later after purchasing the tickets. It was 1900 yen per adult. I was very impressed with the way the whole tour was set up. Our guide was excellent, they spoke in English. You get to learn a lot and take photos also. If you're in to dressing up in traditional clothes and getting photos done they offer that as well after the tour. Also they offer a short show which I won't go it to detail of because it was really entertaining and I sat at the front with my heart racing the entire time with crazy expressions on my face. Really quite excellent. They also sell handmade Katana's there.

While good intentioned, it is barely a real museum with very few artifacts (3 rooms). The tour provided some good information but definitely not worth the price at all. If you have kids, they may enjoy the star throwing that is included in the tour (which takes place in a different facility). But overall I would call this a tourist trap that is an expensive mistake to make.
Alexandra Hahm — Google review
A comparably small private museum, that makes up for its size by the free guided tour, the short Samurai demonstration and the chance to make photos in costumes. The exhibits are in very good condition and there is a lot of background information to each of it. I highly advise you to take one of the free English tours that start every 30-45 minutes. The staff is very friendly and motivated and will answer an question you might have.

I loved this place. You get a one houre very informative, impressive and also funny tour and see lots of cool stuff. You can also buy cool stuff there if you want. One great thing about it is also that when you buy a ticket it is reusable. So we got there at 1815 but performances are shown only between 1400 and 1700. So we can come here on another day and watch the performance free of charge. 👍👍👍

Loved our experience here! Everything was far above and beyond our expectation. 👍 We hadn't done any research beforehand, just showed up and learned that there was a guided tour we could take part in. Our entire group consisted of about 10 or so people, a comfortable amount, and was so informative and entertaining. Big thanks to our lovely guide who did such a wonderful job and communicated so efficiently in English! As a group of seniors, adults, and children, the experience was interesting for all of us, the samurai swordfighting performance was fun, the ability to try on the traditional robes was also great, and the layout of the museum, duration, and arrangement of the groups was well prepared so that everything was enjoyable for all of us. We haven't been on many guided tours in Japan, but this was definitely one of the best we have visited in Tokyo!

Recently purchased Yoroi and a katana from the store online. Communication was fast and efficient from Gin and Takaoki-san. Items 100% as described and look even better in person. Export time and shipping was smooth. Hopefully the museum opens again soon as my first visit was great. I dare say anyone reviewing the museum is selecting the incorrect business as this one is still closed
steven Philip — Google review
Friendly staff and really enjoyable displays make this place a really enjoyable for learning about the history of Japan. The tickets come with a free guided tour around the museum. Because it wasn't busy when we got there it became a private tour. The guides English was really good, being able to tell us about the displays and answer questions we had about them. Very relaxing and fun tour where you could try on some armours and swords for photo ops. It was really an enjoyable experience and a place where you could buy armour or swords, among other souvenirs, to take home with you.

Ramen restaurant
Ichiran Shibuya is a renowned Japanese chain restaurant celebrated for its specialty in tonkotsu ramen, a delectable noodle soup featuring a rich pork bone broth brimming with umami flavors. This informal eatery offers an array of options for customizing your ramen experience, including the richness of the broth, firmness of the noodles, choice of toppings, and spice levels.
My first time trying an authentic ramen, 10/10! Dessert also blew me away, not very sweet but still rich. Highly recommend.
????? ????????? — Google review
One of the best ramen chain restaurants in Japan. No doubt they are good and always long queue even after 9pm. We waited about 30-40 mins for our table. Self order on the machine. They accept credit card and cash. Regretted that I only had once during my visit. Must visit when you are in Japan. Open 24 hours and just pop by anytime.
Faye Cheang — Google review
The exceptional taste of this Ramen still lingers on my palate, leaving me yearning for more. I'd recommend opting for the premium pork and a touch of seaweed. A truly stellar culinary experience...
Alan Campbell — Google review
An absolute must if you visit Japan. You will wait at least 45 minutes (in my experience) in every place they have, but absolutely worth it. You will be seated in separate 'desks' and the contact with the people serving you is minimal. You just fill in how you want your ramen to be prepared and a few minutes later you can start eating. If you can handle spicy, I recommend to add some of the chili as it elevates the flavour to another level. Overall just top notch! When you're looking for a place to catch up with friends or family, this might not be the place. If you're just looking for great food, GO GO GO! For more content, follow @foodpatroll on Instagram 📸🤳

Yes, it is worth queuing. You can dine solo and undisturbed. Foreigner friendly. If unsure about order, their signature bowl + set is highly recommended, circle everything default.

This was our first official meal in Japan. We went here for an early lunch. We got here about 30 minutes after it opened and there was a line but it wasn’t too bad. This restaurant is downstairs but for those who have strollers, don’t let this deter you. We had a stroller with us and the worker who was helping at the top of the stairs took it downstairs for us. There was a spot for the strollers while we waited in line on the stairs and during our meal. There is an elevator to use after our meal. There are also backs for the chairs that they attach for the smaller kids. The food was delicious! Our daughter ate all her noodles and some of an egg. She tended to eat better in the separated spots than when we are at home in our dining room.

Glad to finally come back the first ramen I had in Tokyo over 5 years ago. Love the unique Ichiran experience of individual eating and being able to customize how you want your ramen and soup base. I'm a fan on thin extra firm noodles and a strong tonkotsu broth. So always a delight to eat here, but have to admit that while I leave satisfied, I'm also very very full! Highly recommended for both the ramen and eating experience.
Julian Toedter — Google review
What can I say, I love Ichiran! Long wait but definitely worth the wait. Love that you can order and sit there without having to speak or really see anybody. The process is super simple and straightforward but effective. The broth is SO flavourful and absolutely delicious, and love that you can customize to your liking. So good 10/10 and will have to stop by every time I visit Japan.
Ophelia — Google review
It was the most amazing ramen I've ever had in my entire life. Everything is so customisable (I loved the option to change the firmness of noodles because I always like my noodles hard). You don't have to look at or talk to anyone. At the end you can write a message on the paper of your disposable chopsticks to thank the chef! If you go with 2, maybe 3 people you should be able to sit together (you can fold the partition separating your stalls). I went with one friend on a Monday at 7:30pm and the wait was only about 5-10 minutes.
Marian Hartley — Google review
Expect a wait. Today was over 30 minutes to get in. If you want to sit together, it will take longer but you are in a fairly closed off eating area so it's not a table sociable environment. You order from a kiosk then they will give you a form to finish up. You place that on the table and then they'll start bringing your order within 10 minutes. Very good and recommend. Enjoy.
Michael Head — Google review
provides a dining area for those of you who like privacy and silence when eating. The noodle texture is just right. soup that has a rich broth taste. best affordable to try. but you have to be patient to queue for around 60 minutes. but the service is very good even though places to eat are very limited.

We were surprised that restaurant staff speaks English. He switched to speak English immediately once he noticed that we were speaking English. Although it was around 4am the service quality was quite high. I recommend this ramen shop.
Lea K — Google review
As my first meal upon arriving in Tokyo, this is definitely worth the price and long wait. One bowl is enough to make your tummy warm and busog ☺️ ordering is unique as you have to punch in your order at a vending machine. They even sell packaged pancit canton style so you can also make it at home 🥰 you can choose the level of spice, thickness of your noodles, and if you want to add other sides in your bowl. Their table is also arranged for only one person, so you can also be comfortable eating alone. Will def eat here again the next time i visit Japan 💯

I had to check out the hype! It was really good! Was it the best ramen I had in Japan- no! But it was the best chain ramen I’ve ever had! It was easy to order and we went on a Thursday afternoon so it wasn’t busy. Maybe waited about 8 minutes for a table. Really happy I squeezed this place in before I left!
Tiffany Acciani — Google review
Loved it! There's only one type of ramen so there's not much of a choice (except for additional toppings like an egg or nori, plus the firmness of noodles, spiciness level, etc.) but they made that one to perfection. Plus I loved the vibe of this place.
Dorota Amanowicz — Google review
First time for me to try a "one person" eat Ramen experience. Arrive, make order at the machine n pay. Find yourself a seat that is empty. Once you settle down yourself, n you will need to fill out a form how you want your order to be. Later on, staff will come to you n confirm your order, then blind goes down. Your noodle will come shortly. Food: noodles are good, but soup based is too salty for me (I don't eat salty food that often). The chatsiu is just right. Service: japanese restaurant staff are very polite in general. They keep speaking Japanese and bow. I don't understand, but it is part of their jobs. I tried to communicate with them, but they don't understand /speak English. Environment: even people eat alone, but it doesn't mean they come alone. People can talk but in low voice. People don't like being disturb but too noisy Environment when they eat. Overall good experience. Thanks. It is located in the basement. No way to have wheelchair accessible. Watch out the stairs, quite steep.

4/5 I came here alone 2 times when I was in Tokyo, I definitely did like it! The food isn't anything special but it is definitely really good! The service is really great as well, it is self service ticket style and then you get seated at an open booth, it was actually kind of fun getting seated the way you do since you get a little water spout for your cup and you're secluded to everyone for privacy. I reccomend coming here if you're looking for cheaper ramen and if you're nearby! It's fast service and they are all really nice!
Micah Ashton — Google review
One of the most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had. We did have to queue up for about 30 minutes but it was well worth it. The ordering was super easy and fairly priced (one may even say very affordable). The service was fantastic, I cannot get over how respectful and kind everyone is in Japan. It was so good we went twice (Ueno as well)
Jessica Oceguera — Google review
There was a long line during dinner time, but this spot is open late night. So we went in at 4am! This is a spot where you dine alone. All the seats are facing the serving wall, not ideal for groups. Ramen was excellent. It’s tailored to everyone’s individual preference. We loved the spice and depth of the ramens
J Acharya — Google review
The most amazing Ramen I've ever had. Located kind of off the beaten path and down a staircase (not accessible). They offer an English menu. It was worth the wait. Amazing food and an excellent price. Do yourself a favor and get boxes of it to take home!
Kelly Jacobson — Google review
One of the most known Ramen shops in Japan. Had an early lunch around 11am but it already has a long line. Ordering was pretty easy due to the user friendliness of the ordering kiosk. Though you would still fill up a paper for your ramen preferences. Serving time is pretty quick even at full house. The atmosphere is pretty simple, but whats unique here is the individual tables accessible by ichirans staffs via those window screens where they serve your orders. Less interactions, recommended for ramen lover introverts. Their toilet isnt as clean as others stores. Now about the ramen, its not the tastiest ramen I had but its actually pretty decent especially for its price point. Though you can customize your ramen I recommend getting the standard options for the first time. What you’re here after is not the ramen alone but for the experience also, I would highly recommend this for tourists or first timers in Japan.
Mark Leona Gonzales — Google review
Great experience. Waited 20 mins for dinner around 10:30pm. You order & part at a machine, then customize it (richness of the soup, spice level, etc), then you are seated at private individual booths. I'm addicted. Not kid friendly, really tight spaces. Good experience, was able to sit beside my friends.

Super yummy!!! Service was fast - starting queuing at 8:35pm and got my food served by 9:10pm. The staff is friendly and speaks English well and the ramen is SO GOOD!! The broth is rich yet light enough so it won’t make your mouth dry, and the noodles are springy and bouncy. It’s a wonderful bowl of ramen on a cold day and would definitely recommend!!

Great Ramem! We didn’t have to wait that long (30mins) as we were there before the lunch time crowd. You sit at a booth and is kind of odd but the ramen and salted egg are really good. AND at such a good price.

Fusion restaurant
Ninja Tokyo is a themed restaurant in Tokyo that replicates a ninja hideout, offering an immersive dining experience inspired by the world of covert warfare experts in feudal Japan. The restaurant features artfully presented Japanese dishes and magic tricks performed by waiters who play funky roles. Guests can enjoy authentic and creative Japanese dishes, including Omi beef and wagyu, while being entertained with shows during each course and personal magic performances during dessert.
Pricey but absolutely worth it for the experience and the good food! From the moment you enter, you're immersed in the story and atmosphere. Its nice that the tables are all closed off so you can enjoy your meal and focus on who you're visiting with. The waiters and waitresses were enthusiastic and into their characters, which was really appreciated. If you spend over a certain amount, which is easy with a group of four, they do a private magic show at your table. We ordered the cheapest sets available and were still very pleased with how tasty they were. I really enjoyed the cocktails myself. One funny thing to note is they recommend you have the staff guide you to and from the bathroom as it can be easy to get lost. Even the bathrooms were beautiful and decked out with flower arrangements. I would love to go back someday. Make sure to make a reservation! You have to pick the courses beforehand.
Rachel Boatwright — Google review
Staff are amazing here, very friendly and amazingly fun. Getting into the restaurant is fun and unique. There was a nice little magic show at the end and the atmosphere was lovely. I would recommend this place to anyone just looking for a fun experience and great staff. However, food wise, I have been to fine dining restaurants before and this price was comparable, but the food was not. I want to stress that by no means was the food bad, the food was decent; but for the price I was expecting more. The flavours presented were fairly one dimensional. Without the fun and unique presentation and atmosphere, the price would not be worth it for the food alone. Would recommend for the fun time, not for the food. Make a reservation. We did it two months before going.

TOTALLY WORTH THE SPLURGE. While it has been years since we ate there, the magic of that evening still brings smiles to us. The whole experience from the moment you step in to the restaurant through the meal service and to the very end are executed flawlessly. The food was amazing, but the up close magic and sleight of hand tricks were unbelievable. Spend the small fortune. You're guaranteed to have an amazing evening.

This experience was a splurge but definitely worth it for the most part. My favorite part of the experience was that we ate our dinner in what looked like a cave. The staff were so friendly and fun! I enjoyed all of the appetizers, they were unique and came out in displays with ninja weapons and smoke. The main course was pretty basic being steak and salad, but it was delicious. The ninja staff replaced our wet towels often, and our eating utensils. We felt very welcomed being foreigners, and the staff spoke English well. This wasn’t just a great dinner it was entertainment and activities. This was the most put together entertainment restaurant, and I loved meeting real life ninjas!

Booked about a month in advance. Follow the instructions on their email to find the location, I can see how it would be hard to find (we had no issues finding it). We sat in a private little booth. It was a really unique experience, the food is so creative/creatively presented! The ninja and Master Ninja were absolutely so fun. We ordered the $150aud p/person Wagyu course, both filling enough for the both of us. We don't normally do 'themed' restaurants but this was good to experience at least once when visiting Tokyo.

Wonderful experience. A little expensive but worth every penny. The ninja maneuver is really exciting. They have put lot of thought and art into making the whole place. Better to make reservation before going. We chose the cheapest course so the amount of delicacies were less but they were delicious

Such a fun and interesting concept for a high end restaurant. I love how the ninja theme is over the top but not in a bad or tacky way. My husband and I made a reservation for my birthday and we had so much fun. The food was delicious. We ordered 2 Hanzo course meals and asked if one could be accommodated for a dairy intolerance. They were able to make small changes to the menu for me and I was so thankful. Service was really great and I cannot wait to return!

10/10 amazing! It's an awesome experience and the staff are perfect in how friendly they are. I've been to fine dining restraunts all over the world but this was a singular experience. I had to cancel my card due to fraud issues and the staff were so helpful in dealing with the issue. They took the deposit amount out of the final bill and everything got sorted. The staff try their hardest and it shows.

[Aug 31, 2023] Best dinner we had in Japan! We made reservations online in advance. We selected a 150g wagyu course and after that plus drinks our total was 40,000 yen, so quite a lot. But it was a really fun experience. Without spoiling a lot… make sure you are physically able to go through tight spaces and stairs. Entering the restaurant was a small maze but super fun! Every single course we got there was some kind of show, even the drinks. We even got a personal magic show during dessert. There is a Photo Booth at the end too with tons of fun props. We enjoyed this dinner so much as a couple, they really put a lot of effort in the whole restaurant and every single meal. I would think kids would enjoy this just as much or more!! We got our own Japanese style private room too. The waitress and all the other staff speak English as well. If we come back to Tokyo, no doubt we will give them another visit. Worth every yen!

Went here today for dinner. The ninja village was a bit of a dark maze but the staffs were very helpful and mindful of people’s safety. I love that the tables and seating are separate so more intimate and you can enjoy the food and the service. Food from the first course to the end were just to die for, very creative, top produce and well balanced. Each meal was creative and paired with some showmanship. Some food are disguised to look something else like the omelette and radish at the end with soy we’re actually pudding, Apple compote and caramel sauce. The Master Ninja at the end was very entertaining with his magic presentation. The experience has a wow factor, staffs great, food divine. Booking is a must!

Second time coming here after a decade - this time with kids! Book in advance online - they cater well for dietary requirements. The cost is reflective of the experience you receive which is definitely unique and one to remember! Especially if you have young kids! Service was fantastic, food was tasty and intriguing and the atmosphere is a memory you will keep with whoever you go with!

As others have said before, it is a quite pricey but in my opinion well worth it and I'm very glad I went here! The staff members are all very accommodating and soo kind. Rest assured, they will give you a great ninja experience. The courses themselves were presented in interesting ways. I've had the vegetarian course and was definitely not disappointed. The magic show was also entertaining and the ninja was very friendly! Would definitely recommend this as an experience and will also gladly come back again. (I was also full after the courses!)

This place was unbelievable. It's on the higher-priced side but definitely worth every penny - the food, atmosphere, performance, and master ninja were all a fantastic experience, adults and children alike! From the very beginning, even before you enter, it's well performed! The wagyu Steak really was melt in your mouth and everything was so delicious. My picky eaters ate everything! Highly recommend you make this special dinner a part of your trip!

Teppan Baby is a unique and quirky teppanyaki restaurant located in the trendy sub-district of Kabukicho in Shinjuku. The staff at this cool restaurant are known for their super friendly and energetic service, creating a welcoming ambiance. Guests can enjoy the experience of mini babies hiding behind chopsticks and okonomiyaki while savoring the bestselling Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki, fluffy cabbage, and crispy noodles.
Holy cow! This place was amazing. The food the people. So much fun to sit at the counter and watch the guys cook (Sho you’re fantastic!). The food was tasty and the experience was great.

We tried the menu which is shown when booking via tablecheck and loved it. Actually you are not forced to take the whole menu when you made the reservation. I can definitely recommend the menu and the location, the staff was very friendly and energetic performing behind the teppanyaki plate.

Passed by randomly on our way in kabukicho! Do note that reservation is required as we arrived at 7pm and was told the next available seating is at 9pm. We returned promptly at 9pm and ordered the pork okonomiyaki, softshell shrimp and squid+ Japanese onion. Everything tasted great! The okonomiyaki is rather filling so do come with an empty stomach! The waiters have a special greeting to inform the entire kitchen of new customers, which I found quite amusing! Lastly, they have a cute freebie when you leave a review on TripAdvisor so do check it out! 😁

The place has a really typical Japanese atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. I had the best gluten-free okonomiyaki of my life, delicious to say the least! There is definitely some contamination, since they also cook gluten dishes on the same griddle, so it is not recommended for those who suffer from it. The teppanyaki experience was really fun: we were seated at the counter, with the cooks cooking in front of us, and we ate straight from the griddle.
Alessandra Minuz — Google review
Very friendly staff that can speak English well, and has gluten free alternatives. The cooking surface is shared with gluten-containing dishes though, so up to each person for their gluten risk tolerance. Pretty fun that they livestream their chefs on YouTube, and the chefs also have big personalities that makes it fun to watch even though I don’t speak Japanese. Great air ventilation too, doesn’t feel stuffy even right next to the counter.

I visited the place in Feb 2020 before Corona had hit the country. More than the food, I really liked the ambiance of the place and the cooking style. Every time a guest enters the restaurant, all the staff members welcome them by shouting something in Japanese. I had a great time there, the service was prompt and I somehow managed to order with the help of the friendly staff. I had ordered Okonomiyaki which was cooked right in front of my eyes. The food was enjoyable but I didn't find it extraordinary.

Different from Tepoenyaki in Sydney (no throwing fried rice or eggs). It has quite special Yuzu pepper sauce. If you order set, you can have certain drinks during 2 hours. The sake and plum wine taste good. Two of us for set dinner spent around ¥10,800.

10/10 food and experience. We went here at around 11pm on a Friday and got seated straight away. We sat at the grill and had the most delicious and interactive meal. From start to finish the energy was incredible. We had the wagyu, scallops, edamame, cheese wrap for starter - all were delicious. Then for mains we had the okonomiyaki for the first time ever which was also phenomenal. I would definitely return. Staff were amazing. The dice game is so fun. Highly recommend

Tasty okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style with noodles) with great entertainment. Recommend sitting at the hot plate, where the action happens and to book. We were lucky that they could squeeze us in for a 1-hour sitting. My partner had the signature dish and I had the one with prawns and avocado. Lovely service, too.

Found this place looking for good okonomiyaki following Google reviews. Decent Hiroshima style okonomiyaki (with the noodles, flour on the bottom and eggs on top) and teppanyaki cooked by the chef where you can watch. The staff had good service, the place is underground but has free wifi. Staff are energetic. There's an English menu but it's not the same as the Japanese menu so check both. Overall, wasn't bad though there's a lot of sodium in a lot of these dishes (as are things in Japan gerally I guess 😅)

Made a 7pm reservation using Tablecheck, reached close to 6.45pm and was told by an Indian waiter to come back at 7pm. That's weird because he was allocating seats to walk-ins. Had to bother another waitress after 10mins before we could get seated. Ambience was quite cosy and we got seated at the counter seats where we could witness the food prep and get our Okonomiyaki kept warm while we savour it. Food tasted great especially the fish cakes and Okonomiyaki! Too bad the mushrooms were sold out as informed by the Chef, and the same waiter forgot to cancel it when I got my bill -.-

We walked in without a reservation and were lucky to get a table right in front of the kitchen. It was amazing to watch our food being made in front of us. The waiters were all super friendly and could communicate fantastically in english. The food also tasted amazing. I highly reccomend their special!

A very interesting and lively experience at Teppan baby here in Kabukicho. The okonomiyaki was one of the best ones I've ever had in the staff were incredibly kind, caring, attentive, and friendly. I will definitely be back

Super friendly staff and amazing food. Very helpful when dealing with gluten intolerance, they have a separate menu and can cook the gf noodles separately for a bit extra. Staff have good English skills. Highly recommend their drinking dice game for a fun experience.

Came here on a whim for our last dinner in Japan! We hadn't eaten okonomiyaki yet and we wanted to find a place that did Hiroshima style. We came on Sunday night around 9:30pm and got a seat after waiting 10-15 minutes. Sitting at the counter in front of the chefs was great, and the energy was really high! The okonomiyaki was a little pricey but very big (probably could have split one between 2 people), and that plus the cheese yaki and the 牛すじ煮込み were all super delicious. By far the best food we had on our trip!

We enjoyed the okonomiyaki , that was well done. but the rest of the dishes were lack luster. The Wagyu was too chewy and the scallops were a miss. It was okay, but nothing special. The reason this restaurant has so many Google reviews is that you get a free toy if you write a review and a lot of the reviews are from first time reviewers wanting to get a free toy.

A teppanyaki joint with good vibes and energy! Please make your reservations early if you wanna have a taste of good teppanyaki served by friendly and enthusiastic staff in a lively ambience! Food is tasty and portion is good for sharing! You can sit by the hotplate and watch your food getting the yummy treatment while getting entertained and served hot! Would definitely come back again along with friends! Highly recommended! 👶🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This was easily the best dinner/experience our group had while visiting Tokyo. Not only was the wagyu steak to die for, but they also have a dice rolling game for anyone wanting to enjoy some alcahol with a twist.. maybe the drink is free... maybe it's double, maybe everyone drinks tequila, roll the dice and find out! 😜

In our last nights on Japan, we don’t want it to leave without it his famous Teppanyaki. Google Maps lead us here (and the great calificación wasn’t wrong). The service and the ambient of the restaurant is awesome, Japanese traditional tables and seats (even without shoes), and the crew of Teppan Baby makes the place more attractive with their interactions and how gentle they are. Finally the most important thing, the food… was incredible…prepared in front of you (or even you can see through a tv while they stream to the entire restaurant), and the flavor was GREAT!!!! If you want a great Teppanyaki and an awesome service, don’t hesitate and came here. (We didn’t have a reservation, but the wait was about 15 minutes, and trust me, worth it) Another thing is that all the crew speak English and has a English Menu also (something that its not common in restaurants here)

Sushi restaurant
Sushi-Zanmai Higashi Shinjuku is a renowned sushi restaurant in the vibrant neighborhood of Shinjuku, Tokyo. With almost 40 years of experience, this establishment is known for its high-quality kaiten sushi and emphasis on top-notch ingredients. While slightly pricier than other kaiten sushi spots, Sushi-Zanmai prioritizes quality over cost. The chain offers over 40 branches throughout Tokyo, providing fresh and delectable sushi sets at reasonable prices.
reasonable and local price for really good and fresh sushi and sashimi. I don't really see travellers coming but a lot of locals. we went to another one in Nishi Shinjuku. That one has a lot of travellers and slightly cheaper but this one is seriously better.

Foreigner friendly, they do have English menu, the sushi is pretty good, you can tell it is fresh and served in room temperature which how sushi should be served. The chicken karaage is not really recommend because of the price, the taste is good. Not a cheap place to be for sushi, but it won't let you down. 2 person for 10,000yen.
Jacky (Spiritlamp) — Google review
Cant decide which restaurant to try. As a visitor, it's probably a safe bet to pay a little more to ensure a quality sushi meal based on reviews in shinjuku. But given a chance, any of those restaurants at Tsukiji will offer fresher and better value for money options. Set meal prices has gone up.

We came here late at night, say 9pm, and they sat us rather quickly at the sushi bar. It was a pleasant, spontaneous experience. Things you should know: I. SERVICE They're timely and kind II. QUALITY The Seafood Chirashi-Don was extremely fresh and well presented..! It was enough to satiate the two of us. III. CAPACITY Small restaurant but decent amount of available seating at the late hours of a weekend night.
Chelsea Getchell — Google review
The sushi was a love affair of quality, freshness and flavor from the start. We had read the prior reviews and marked the restaurant to try and were more than happy that we did. Good food, our waitress was sweet, patient and spoke English. One otoshi (the house appetizer that follows the order of an alcoholic drink for the small cost of 300-600 yen) was brought out for one of us, as he had ordered a beer and I had ordered green tea. Our waitress had been kind enough to also make us aware of this upon ordering. The only little criticism would be a lack of atmosphere, but even that held little sway when the food and service were excellent. We would go there again.

A famous chain for sushi in Japan. Quality at this location seemed less than what I remember back when I came in 2018 and went to another branch. Still, nigiri prices are pretty affordable and some of the tuna sashimi was 👌🏻👌🏻
Frost JC — Google review
Friendly service, sashimi quality is above average, and they have different varieties and combinations of sushi and sashimi. The price is reasonable. It's excellent to maintain high quality of a chain store.

This place is pretty foreigner friendly in the fact that they provide a menu with multiple languages (although you do have to ask for one if it’s not obvious to them that you are tourist). The most confusing part was figuring out how to order, so let me help you. The papers and pen that are on your table are there for you to order most of your food (the server will initially come up to you to ask what you would like to drink, I got a shochu matcha highball). IMPORTANT: If you order an alcoholic drink they will give you a small dish called “otoshi” which is mandatory and cannot be refused( tho you can chose to just not eat it). This is so you don’t drink on an empty stomach and is something that happens in most restaurants that serve alcoholic drinks. The nigiri (にぎり) is numbered on the menu and the numbers correspond on the order sheet. The two vertical columns ask if you want wasabi in your nigiri or not (left column is yes and right column is no). Indicate how many of that nigiri you want in the boxes (ex: 1,2,3). Anything that is not given it’s own box on the sheet can be indicated in the free blank boxes on the bottom right corner ( this is where I put my order for the assorted tuna dish and my miso soup). When you are ready to order and if you need anything else in the future, call a worker with a “sumimasen” and/or raise your hand to show its you who is calling them. P.S they give a complimentary green tea drink after your meal and the tuna is definitely the most worth it. Was not a fan of the marinated mackerel. My order of sushi + my alcoholic drink + yuzu sherbert (which I highly recommend for dessert) + and small miso soup = 7,557¥ which is about $52. Don’t forget to say “gochisosamadeshita” to the workers if you enjoyed the food!

We ended up picking this spot because the other sushi restaurants in the area weren't open until later in the day. The restaurant is foreigner friendly and had a multilingual menu available. Some of the lunch set prices were pretty good and included chawanmushi and miso soup. Sitting at the counter was a fun experience, as we got to watch the sushi chefs at work. And they were all friendly too. The sushi itself was pretty good, and I'd eat there again the next time I'm in the area.

English menu with photos, easy to order online via code scanning. Good sushi though limited selection of salmon (my friend particularly likes eating salmon but we only found 2 salmon dishes). Foreigner-friendly.
Windy LHTT — Google review
Had a birthday dinner here with my family and it was an overall great experience. The staff and service was great, with English communication on par with the Japanese restaurants found in Australia. Their sashimis were excellent with good quality cuts but what stood out was my family's first experience with Chawan Mushi as it's flavours were very reminiscent of the broth found in a Balut/Penoy egg (Filipino) which we found very interesting! The more expensive prices were reflected upon the service and quality of the ingredients used in the dishes. We were sat on the basement floor very close to the chef who prepared our food - was a really great experience. Would probably not go out of my way to go back here but definitely a worthwhile experience!

Not as cheap as Kura and not soo fancy as other sushi restaurants but I honestly don't find many differences. The good thing is you can watch the chef doing the sushi right in front of you.

The food was aight. The service was aight. The vibe was aight. Nothing too special, but it should do if you are hungry. They forgot to give us utensils, water and napkins. They are very friendly though.

My niece wanted to try a revolving sushi place at least once before we left Japan and we happened upon this place by chance. They open at 10:30am on the weekends so we were the first to be sat. The concept is definitely cool as you get to see the food before you select it and eat it. Be careful though as it all adds up at the end as they are priced by plate and each plate represents a different cost. Service was quick and pleasant. Our group had a good time. I didn’t feel like the sushi was any better than the States but we paid a bit more for the novelty of it.

I always enjoy eating here. Normally, there is a small queue but it's definitely worth it if you don't want to spend a fortune and have to book months ahead for a spot at a fancy sushi joint. Wallet friendly, top quality food. Highly recommend the fatty tuna.

Crowded, with some tight corners. Awesomely packaged lunch menu, which were fresh and prepared infront of me. Affordable price point, reasonable waiting time. Loved it!

Chanced upon Sushi-Zanmai when I was looking for a place to have dinner. The restaurant has excellent services and provides English menu for foreigners. I have ordered the tuna sushi set from the winter menu and the it was absolutely amazing. Special shoutout to the bluefin tuna and fatty tuna. I have also ordered another dish based on the chef’s recommendation - Ankimo ponzu, monkfish liver marinated in ponzu. It simply melted in my mouth. It’s little wonder why monkfish liver is known as the foie gras of the sea!

Via QR Code you can check the menu and place the order which is very fast and you don’t need to wait for the waitresses to come. Good sushi, although limited selection of salmon (only found 2 salmon dishes) The only thing we didn’t like was raw squid. It was too hard to bit, not sure if that’s how’s supposed to be

Sushi restaurant
Sushi no Midori Shibuya is a popular sushi spot located within the Shibuya Market City, near Shibuya Station. It's renowned for its affordable and generous servings of delicious sushi, with menu items available in English. The restaurant offers a wide range of options, including non-fish sushi. With about 60 seats available in two shifts during morning/lunch and evening hours, it's advisable to expect a wait time of around 30 minutes due to its popularity.
Absolute value for money! The sushi is delicious and good quality. I recommend to arrive in advance, take the number and then go for a walk. I went on Sunday and took my number at 12.50, we were called at 14.40 The waiting was worth. I ordered the lunch set for 2900 yen and I was full. It included also some sime dishes.

The set is value for money! The chawanmushi and crab salad appetiser was a great start to the sushi. For the sushi, I like the prawn and crab flavors. The eel was soft and sweet.

Enough said about the waiting time. Take the queue number, scan the QR code and let it notify you when due. Then go shopping or whatever you want. Remember to let it notify with sound. Try not to come after 5pm as the wait will really be 2 hours. Our favorites remain the signature platters (special giri and super special nigiri). Seasonally there are other platters too but these two are our recommends. Grilled seabream neck is our other favorite and cannot be found on the online menu, like quite a few other dishes. Do not be shy to wave an associate over and order from the menu booklet.

If you have 4 hours for this good food, then come. 1. There is always a long line up at the door. I was ticket 88 while they were calling 35. I spent 3 hours from the door to the table. You may go faster if you are flexible to eat at the counter. But I prefer to eat at the table. I don't want to talk about choosing food as any choice is good. You don't don't need to talk to the staff. Just scan the code and order the food. When food has arrived, you don't want to eat fast. Let the tastebuds do the job. After the first bite of the sashimi, 3 hours is worth the food. I was planning to eat my lunch there, end up I had my very late lunch/ afternoon tea/ early dinner.

We went there 3 times and on the third try we got in and omg! The atmosphere is amazing! They announce your arrival to the restaurant and the staff greets you while you are walked to your table. Ordering is super easy with your phone. The tuna platter and seared Fatty Tuna is to die for! We came back a 4th time. The wait may be a while but so worth it.
Steph Morales — Google review
Superb value if you are looking for variety and quantity. Made reservation online and Paid under 4000 yen for the chef special set. Both tuna pieces were great. Uni is not of high quality but that was expected based on the price. I recommend this restaurant if there's a short queue or you book ahead of time. As soon as you sit the food comes immediately they are very efficient.

One of the freshest sashimi places we found. Really good sushi. Down side is the extremely long queue. Went at 3pm wanting to avoid lunch crowd. We ended up in line for 2 hours and had our lunch at 5pm.

Super value for money. So much fresh and wide variety of sushi for 3,600 Yen. I like the crab roe the most which was served as an appetizer. The queue was pretty insane though. You better start queuing 1 hr in advance before opening time. Otherwise, be prepared to wait at least 1.5hrs and above.
Jeffrey Teo — Google review
Affordable but good quality sushi. It is always crowded. There is a queue ticket machine in front of the restaurant. For dinner, you can start taking the queue number from 4.30pm and the restaurant opens at 5pm. The order is done online by scanning QR code on the table, so no worry about the language. The service is fast. It is one of the go to places for sushi in Tokyo.
Worarat Pichpongsa — Google review
Food is great, and is worth the 2hr wait. How it works here is that you either book ahead or you come to the restaurant and grab a ticket from the machine to queue up. You order via scanning a QR code and proceed to order via your phone. WiFi is also provided. Service is fairly slow due to how busy it was and sometimes they start combining plates. So it is used to differentiate who ordered what as well as the language barrier. Restrooms are outside in the train station, around the corner.

Visited on weekday lunch. Took queue number at 11.45am and got a seat at about 1.30pm. You don't have to queue outside to get a seat, you can take a queue number and come back when it's about time. Ordered their set and some alacarte sushi. Food was fresh, price tag on a slightly steeper side as compared to many other sushi chain out there. Food was good but nothing really stands out to me. Will probably revisit only if there's not a long waiting time.

Not bad for the price but not the best sushi place I've been to. The sushi rice was not as tasty but the fish was good.
Daniel O'Grady — Google review
The food is really good specially the tuna and salmon nigiris, I'd suggest to get the sampler so you can try many of the options in the menu. Also, to consider the wait time: even when they close after 9pm they might stop accepting people in the wait-list even before 8, so be sure to expect long wait times on busy days (up to 2-hours) fortunately there are many shops and cafes around to pass the time. They accept credit cards.

Waited about 1 hour to get in. Would be best to go early and get queue no before shopping around. Sat at the counter, chef who served us speaks English and is polite. Sushi is not bad. The sushi set is very filling. Free refill of green tea too.

My brother recommended me this place and he told me to come at 430pm to queue for dinner - and he was right. We came at 438pm and was given a ticket with 17 customers in front of us in the queue before it opens at 5pm. Crazy! Ordered the otoro set and it was fabulous- big, juicy and reasonably priced. Also had the imago which was again huge (see my wife’s hand), and additional otoro with inari (with yuzu). Service was very good and fast even tho they are packed, and price was very reasonable especially with the generous offerings. Highly recommend!

Simply wow! 💖 Make sure you get there before they open to get your ticket. I arrived at 10:30am on a Monday and was issuesd ticket 6. They opened at 11am. I was seated by 11:20am. I noticed that some people had booked - they were seated first, so this could be an option if you don’t like waiting. The sushi and sashimi was absolutely divine. So fresh and delicious and very well priced! Absolutely worth a visit if in Tokyo.

Came here for lunch on a weekday. What I like about this place is they do have a wait system where you take a ticket at the front of the store and they’ll give you a number on a receipt — we didn’t realise this until we looked around at other people. There’s a QR code printed on the ticket and you can register your details. The store will then notify you when your number is called so you can shop around and explore while you wait. Food was good but some dishes were a miss. A highlight was the uni and tuna hand roll (absolutely divine!!!) I would probably just come back next time and grab the hand roll to-go. Love all the way from Australia!!

We came 30min before opening time and got 11th in the queue, and was seated around 30min after they open. The sushi is super fresh and delicious. The uni nigiri is the highlight of the meal, the eel was really good too.

Very fresh and sushi are very fresh. The price is cheaper than Tsukiji Outer Market and offer similar quality. The premium plate at 3600yen is good value. Q for counter seats for faster entrance, table need to wait for another hour more. Recommend to come here for fresh sushi.
Derek Lim — Google review
Some of the best sushi I've had in Japan! Prepare to wait in line for up to two hours unless you get there early (before they open). But if you want to book ahead you have to book and prepay for the set menu (¥3960 per person). It's super filling and excellent value, but you can also order additional a la carte dishes. Definitely order extra engawa. It's awesome!

When you first walk up, you have to sign in and get a number. We got there at 1730 and waited about 40 minutes with 18 groups ahead of us. My husband ordered an assortment of sashimi and nigiri and I ordered their grilled sushi. I did ask for no Wasabi but I think it may have been lost in translation. The serving size were pretty decent and the price wasn't bad.

A tip is to arrive right as they open the ticket machine which is 30 minutes before service. They will call your number when they are ready. Service is fast and efficient. The quality of sushi and sashimi is exceptional and very well priced. I loved my visit here and cannot wait to return again!

No sushi midori is an excellent place for sushi and sushimi. Quality is impeccable as well as the service. Have tried the Shibuya location first time in 2015 and went back this week 2024. Same spectacular experience. Strongly recommended. You need to be lucky to get a table queuing for the ticket as soon as they open. Definitely recommend
