Explore Japan – Places to Eat Out In Tokyo

Tokyo is one of the best cities in Japan for food. If you are visiting Tokyo soon and want to know the best places to eat out, here are our top picks:

Izakaya Alleys

If you want a unique booze experience, visit Izakaya alleys (Yokocho). Izakaya is mostly popular among salarymen and locals to spend right after work. The alleys are old fashioned, smokey narrow clammed together by small Izakaya. Some of Izakaya is very tiny with just a couple of seats. Try one of these Japanese style bar/gastropubs where they serve customers with a glass of Sake and authentic Japanese snacks.

Robot Restaurant

Robot Restaurant is a cool place to hang out with its flashy neon lights and a robot show while dining, what else can you ask for? This restaurant stands out among all the other restaurants you will find on earth. It is located in the Shinjuku area, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo. If you are interested in eating in Robot Restaurant, better book your reservations in advance and you may even get a discount too.

Owl Café

This café is the first of its kind just like Robot Restaurant. Although in this café you will mostly be interacting with owls and not robots. It is actually rare to see owls in real life, but in Owl Café, you will not just see them, but you can even touch them. You can take pictures together and share precious moments of your stay with the owls in the café located in the heart of Tokyo.
