Great spot if you’re a baseball fan—lots of energy, excitement, and team spirit in the air. But for someone like me, who’s not into baseball, it felt more like I accidentally wandered into a teenage reunion. So many young people around, I started questioning if I should be doing homework or downloading TikTok. Not really my scene, but if you’re into fastballs and youthful vibes, this place hits a home run.

A great place to shop and eat as there are many restaurants and retail outlets. In addition there is a roller-coaster, ferris wheel and other rides.

Went to the Giants vs. Carp game. Incredible experience. The food selection was incredible. Atmosphere was great. Very polite as well. Only cheering for the teams. No booing.

It's an area with a few rides next to the stadium, and various other attractions (indoor kids play place, haunted house thing), plus restaurants and shops. 3 stars because it can be confusing to navigate, especially with a baby in a pram (same for wheelchair users). The elevators are not straightforward to find and are often tucked away. I found that to get to the shopping area from the play zone, I had to exit and walk along the busy road because the underpass only had stairs. The food court area on 1F next to kids play place did not have enough seats for the number of food venues, but there are other restaurant options around.

This amusement park is not that big and it has indoor and outdoor rides. Adult and kids can enjoy. The roller coaster is a must try but if you’re afraid of heights that’s a no. They have many restaurants to choose from.

This is the home stadium of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team. We went to watch a game and had a great time. They also have concerts and other entertainment events at this multipurpose facility. This stadium is huge, awesome and indoor which was great to beat the summer heat. There are so many food options outside and inside the dome to choose from., you won’t be hungry. We took the subway and got off at the Suidobashi Station which was about a 5 minute walk from the station. The closest train stations to Tokyo Dome are Suidobashi Station (JR Sobu Line and Toei Mita Line) and Korakuen Station (Tokyo Metro Marunouchi and Namboku Lines). Also adjacent to the Tokyo Dome is Tokyo Dome City, an amusement park. A family can easily spend the day in the area!

There is only a few rides and the roller coaster (only one that looked like adults would enjoy) was running but no one was allowed on (closed for some reason). Sketchy to run it continuously without people.

The entrance fee is 300 yen, which is reasonable for a visit. The garden is well-maintained and features several historical markers scattered throughout, offering insights into its past. There are restrooms, shaded areas, and benches that make it a comfortable place to stroll or rest. While the garden is pleasant and peaceful, it didn’t quite stand out to me compared to others I’ve visited in Japan. Perhaps it was the lack of visible wildlife—aside from a few birds, some lizards, and a couple of pale fish, I didn’t see much. No turtles, which I’ve come to enjoy spotting in many Japanese gardens. Still, if you're nearby, it's definitely worth a stop. It's a calm and clean space with historical charm, even if it wasn't my personal favorite

Garden is quite small but very well designed. You can have some tea and snacks in old style tea house, enjoy tranquil lake view or take a walk around area. Place is famous for plum blossoms, but I think there is enough to see every season.

Among my favorite gardens in Tokyo -- classic Edo-era stroll garden, beautifully maintained and serene as can be. The restaurant at the West Gate offers on-site meals with a view overlooking the garden, take-away bentos at lunch, and changes to a teahouse later in the day. Entry into the garden is a little difficult to find if coming from the north (just keep folloing along the white wall) -- there's a west and east point of entry at the southern end of the garden.

Beautiful and peaceful full park. We were pretty much alone there with a few people passing by. We saw cute duckies swimming around in the pond. We even found a stamp station. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, definitely stop there. 🙏

This place inspired retirement goals. Saw a bunch of elderly under a shaded tree to take pictures of a bird by the pond. An ancient spot that was build perfectly for one to enjoy till this date. Definitely worth a visit. It might be a lot more beautiful during spring with all the blossoms.

Saved the best for last. This was our favourite garden we saw during our trip to Japan. Although it is a little bit east of Shinjuku it is worth the time to see.

Amazing park. Beautiful for a nice little rest in between all the walking you have to do as a tourist. Also great to have a lunch break. Cheap entry as well. Highly recommend

The Ferris wheel is pretty cool and it has a karaoke machine in each cabin. The small water ride also looked nice but I didn’t do it. The roller coaster was closed and it looked crazy. In general, if you’re in the area and want to kill some time then this is a good place to do that. You can buy tickets individually per ride or as a daily pass.

Beautiful area, beautiful stadium and just a nice area before a baseball game to be at. come early if you want to find your size in shirts and hats. and also to avoid lines. once inside, there is incredible different kinds of food. the stadium is easy to move around and anywhere you sit, it’s just a great experience.

The best experience with the family!! To start with, the food options were amazing. Bento boxes, rice bowels, squid balls, such I & udon, chicken & beef options then more traditional western options like burgers, pulled pork, hot dogs etc. Hawaiian donuts & ice cream. You name it, they had it. And the beer variety was also extremely impressive. BUT don’t get a drink just yet, wait until you are in your seat and for the right beer girl to come zipping past with a keg on her back to pour you a fresh cold one. These girls are apparently famous in Tokyo, with their own playing cards and apparently some of them have made music videos and become actual pop stars! Only in Japan… The game was amazing, Giants Vs Karp. There seemed to be much rivalry between these two teams and the crowd was getting well into it! Songs, towels, flags….. They all loved it! All in all the stadium was extremely easy to get to having the station just off the grounds, it was a very fun and positive atmosphere all around, the kids loved it, the parents loved it and it was the perfect afternoon together. 5 stars for sure!🙌🏻

Catching a Yomiuri Giants vs. Hiroshima Carp game at Tokyo Dome was one of the most electrifying experiences of our trip. Whether you’re a die-hard baseball fan or just curious about Japanese sports culture, this is a must-see for tourists and locals alike. The energy inside the dome is contagious—cheering sections, coordinated chants, and fans decked out in team gear make every inning feel like a celebration. The food scene inside the stadium is just as exciting. From bento boxes and yakitori to burgers, takoyaki, and soft-serve ice cream, there’s something for every craving. But the real MVPs? The beer girls. These incredible women carry mini kegs on their backs, hustling up and down the stairs with a smile, pouring fresh draft beer right at your seat. It’s a uniquely Japanese touch that adds to the festive atmosphere—and they deserve serious props for their stamina and charm. We had great seats and were surrounded by passionate fans, which made the game even more fun. The crowd was lively but respectful, and the stadium itself is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Access is a breeze—Tokyo Dome is directly connected to Suidobashi Station, and also walkable from Korakuen Station, making it super convenient via JR and Tokyo Metro lines. The surrounding area, Tokyo Dome City, is packed with attractions including an amusement park, shopping mall, restaurants, and even a spa, so you can easily make a full day out of your visit. Whether you’re there for the sport, the snacks, or just the vibe, Tokyo Dome delivers an unforgettable slice of Tokyo life. Don’t miss it.

Came for a Yomiuri Giants game and left wondering why every stadium on earth isn’t run like this. Even with crowds that look like they’re hosting half the city, everything flows. Getting around is smoother than my morning coffee routine, & trust me...my coffee routine is dialed. The food? Shockingly good. I expected classic stadium fare, but instead got a bowl that tasted like someone’s grandma spent all afternoon making it. And the beer service… listen, nothing prepares you for the legendary beer girls sprinting around with mini-kegs strapped to their backs like hydration pack Sherpas. They pour ice-cold drafts at combini prices, smiling the whole time & somehow never spill a drop. It’s capitalism, cardio & customer service rolled into one. Inside the dome, the atmosphere is electric but never chaotic. Fans are into it: organized, loud, positive...and the whole place runs with the kind of precision that makes you rethink how events should work. If you’re in Tokyo, even if you’re only baseball-curious, go to a Giants game. Tokyo Dome doesn’t just host baseball...it flexes it.

During our two week stay in Tokyo we wanted to make sure to catch a baseball game! I am so glad we did because the Japanese put the USA to shame with the level of excitement and fun of the game. There are also lots of food and drink options at reasonable prices. We are not sure we can ever go to a game in the States again after this great experience at Tokyo Dome.

Amazing place. It is just a joy to walk around it even if no major event is going on. Always a laughing and friendly atmosphere I wish I could stay in the city longer

Absolutely amazing place! I have been here more times then I can count and still stands to be one of my favorite places to go to in Japan! No matter the season Tokyo Dome City is a blast! -Clean -plenty of options for food -plenty types of entertainment -easy to get to -fairly reasonably priced -not too long of waits for the rides I highly recommend checking out the ferris wheel, any season. nighttime/sunset was my favorite for an amazing view of the city. I also recommend checking out whatever they may have seasonal or what's being hosted inside the Dome. (if possible) 5/5

Such a fun spot! I visited right after a Toyko Giants game at the dome and decided to stop by for something chill to do during my last night out. Sadly the rollercoaster was closed but there were plenty of other attractions that kept me entertained. Would recommend riding the ferris wheel around sunset for sure! Super beautiful view.

Thoroughly enjoyed it here. It was a breath of fresh air - lots of people watching to be done, rides that had short wait times (got hubby on Thunder Dolphin, first rollercoaster for him ever (he’s now 60!) Times it with a baseball game so it made a good day out.

Went with my 3 kids (17, 12, and 8). They all liked it. I would recommend double checking to see what’s open when you want to go. I think they rotate rides out of “play” for maintenance. You can get a 1/2 days ticket for the second 1/2 of the day. That’s about all you need to be able to enjoy it fully.

Don’t come here. There were so few rides that I had to go play the ones made for five-year-olds just to get my money’s worth. The rides are pretty average and boring. We were there for a week but the main rollercoaster (thunder Dolphin or something) was always closed. I also find it annoying how all the attractions are scattered throughout the Tokyo dome city area which makes them hard to find and you need to walk back-and-forth just to get to each one.

Tokyo Dome City is a super fun and vibrant spot right in the heart of Tokyo! 🎡🎢 There’s something for everyone — from exciting rides like the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster to relaxing attractions and shopping. The area is very clean, safe, and easy to get around.

The location is right in the center and easy to get to by public transport such as the subway. It is a gathering place for many young people to cosplay, and the snacks are reasonably priced. You should buy tickets before coming or choose weekdays for cheaper prices.

It's a good place. You can get experience from exploring the nature and history in same time, with cheap tickets too! The area is pretty big, and can give you fresh air even in the middle of summer (ngl summer in tokyo is so freaking hot) but it's feel nice here.

One of the most beautiful and serene Japanese gardens in Tokyo. It's beautiful at any time of the year. The tea house inside the garden serves match tea and traditional sweets with seasonal flavours.

Beautiful garden! It’s full of history for visitors to explore. With leaves changing colour there are lots of spots to take pictures. Many trails around the pond and around the perimeter. Can readily spend 2+ hours here.

This garden is the model from Wakaura, a scenic place in Wakayama. They put 88 scenic parts from Wakayama in this garden, and make it as the most worth to visit garden in Tokyo. The entrance fee is ¥300 You might want to visit this garden in different seasons, and I suggest the most beautiful time is around spring and autumn. They have a very scenic autumn leaves and an old big shidare sakura, also beautiful zen garden and pond inside. A good walking trail, there are short rout for 30-40 mins walk or long route 60-70 mins walk.

Nice and quiet small park in the middle of Tokyo. For those who are looking for a brief getaway from city vibe, this place is the go-to. The park was very beautiful, and well maintained. There was a small lake in the middle with a few bridges and brooks in the park that creates a great contrast with plants. We came in Autumn so the foliage is really mesmerising.

This is a lovely park of very manageable size. Spring and late autumn are equally great times to visit, but other times of the year are fine, too. Very recommended.

The autumn colours have just changed and from next week it’s going to be complete. Night entry tickets will be revised now it’s only 300¥

This place might not be for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. And reservation was easy, even though I live in Europe. If you want traditional cocktails - this isn't a place for you. But if you are looking for something new and special - you should definitely visit Gen Yamamoto. The cocktails were great, albeit unorthodox, and the barman was nice and professional. At first, I wanted to try 4-5 cocktails. But every drink was something special and every time I heard the ingredients I couldn't believe that this drink would taste good. But every time I was proven wrong. So I decided to go until the end - to the 7th cocktail. And it was the best of them all. Just some of the ingredients that were used: mashed potatoes, wasabi with pineapple, garlic brandy. One of the best drinking experiences in my life.

Gen Yamamoto was a very unique cocktail experience. You have the option of choosing 4, 5 or 7 courses. 7 is a cool 10,000 yen. Yamamoto-san speaks English quite well and provides a course by course description similar to dishes being brought out from the kitchen at a Michelin restaurant. Every cocktail is prepared in plain sight as you would see at an omakase sushi restaurant. Nearly every cocktail is a blend of fruit or vegetables and one spirit. Yamamoto-san used Finnish whiskey in two of the cocktails, as well as sochu and brandy. My favorite was the tomato, lemon juice and whiskey blend. The smoky whiskey and fresh tomato juice complimented each other harmoniously. I’m trying to recreate it at home and the tomato jam seems to be the one missing element. You need to make a reservation over the phone starting from a week out. I asked my hotel concierge to call but Yamamoto-san requested to speak with my directly since he speaks English. There were two tourists from China and one from New York. Neither party stayed for all 7 courses, so I was the last one there. I will say that some of the reviews complaining about the lack of spirits used are valid. Yamamoto-san uses less than a shot of alcohol per cocktail so you end up getting more fruit and vegetable juice than a bonafide cocktail. That said, I still enjoyed the creativity behind each cocktail and left inspired but still needing more drinks. So I wandered into the neighborhood to find Bar Melt, which is a new bar with patrons smoking houkas but quality cocktails that have considerably more alcohol in them. Bar Centifolia is less than a block away from Bar Yamamoto but was closed that night. Tokyo Confidential is also very close by. Here are my tasting notes in the order that they were served: 1 - Yuzu and Sochu 2 - Strawberries and Daikon / Sochu 3 - Kiwi/Marc Grappier Brandy made from Pinot noir 4 - Soy Milk / Fava Beans / Palo Single Malt Whiskey from Finland 5 - Pineapple / Japanese Whiskey 6 - 🍅 Tomato/Lemon/Tomato Jam/ Benromach Whiskey 7 - Quince / Wasabi / Kyro Finnish whiskey

Gen Yamamoto is one of my favorite bars in Tokyo. It’s not your typical bar—you won’t find a Negroni or an Old Fashioned here. Instead, the experience is curated through a tasting menu of 4, 6, or 7 cocktails, each crafted with seasonal ingredients and a special selection of spirits. Every glass is a piece of art. The cocktails are delicate, precise, and thoughtful—you won’t get drunk here, but you’ll leave with a lasting impression. I recently visited and had a brief chat with Yamamoto-san, who told me the bar has now been around for 12 years. I don’t even remember when I first visited, but every time I return, it feels just as special. His glassware and ceramic cups are always stunning, and though I’ve always been curious about what happens to the old cups when he changes the menu, he never sells them. My favorite cocktails are always the ones with tomato. Typically, when you ask for a tomato-based cocktail, you get something resembling a Bloody Mary—but not here. Yamamoto’s tomato cocktails are unlike anything else, layered with such unique and unexpected flavors. The menu evolves with the seasons—summer brings brighter, more acidic drinks, while winter offers starchier, even warm cocktails. Every visit is a surprise, and every time I bring someone new, it becomes a one-of-a-kind memory for their trip. Even after 12 years, Yamamoto-san hasn’t lost his touch. His craft hasn’t declined—in fact, he continues to create and innovate, making each visit as special as the last. If you're looking for a cocktail experience that goes beyond just drinking, this is the place. Don't expect to get drunk. This is not a place for alcoholic beverages. Always make a reservation.

I wish I knew in advance how bad the place is, so I would not waste my time calling for a reservation but also pay all this money for juice served as a shot! Nice atmosphere, but these is not an alcohol tasting experience! There are way better bars in Japan!!!! BIG NO from me!!

Well crafted cocktails made with seasonal ingredients and the utmost care. You can choose 4-7 cocktails (don’t worry, all of them are quite small) husband and I each had 6 and honestly could have done 7. Everything we had was delicious and interesting. Gen Yamamoto takes great pride in what he does and it shows. While stoic and serious about his craft, he is also welcoming and is happy to answer any questions you have. Highly recommend that you make a reservation here for a unique omakase cocktail experience. FYI no food, just cocktails. My only complaint was that it was very quiet. Could have used some music.

A minimalistic experience with a host that makes you feel right at home. The drinks were simple and seasonal. They had between 2-3 ingredients. So each flavour was clear and easy to recognize. We went with 6 drinks and I only disliked one of them. The rest were really great. The atmosphere was relaxed and Gen was kind and welcoming. It is a great drink omakase experience.

This is not a typical bar, so be prepared for things to be done (and cost) differently. I found out about it in a lonely planet book! The bar has a very minimalist atmosphere (there was no music, just the sound of water dripping) and can only accommodate 8 people at the time (we were 4 when I visited). To avoid disappointment, we had made a booking a week before going there (by phone). There are time slots and you get a cocktail omakase, ie. a flight of cocktails (between 4 and 7), chosen and created by the bartender Gen Yamamoto. The ones we had were fruity and light (so you don’t get drunk even if you have 7). My friend was rather disappointed, but I really enjoyed the experience! A flight of 4 cocktails costs £45 (about 8500 yen). Card payments accepted.

Everything I’d expect from a 2 Michelin stared restaurant in Japan. The intent of every dish, every ingredient, even every movement of the waitstaff was recognized. The dishes prepared were beautiful and delicious, the descriptions were just detailed enough for you to spend extra attention to each bite. The message of seasonality and sustainability was received. It was one of the more memorable tasting/omakase meals I have partaken in because of its precise and clean flavors. Can’t wait to visit during a different season!

My wife and I visited Narisawa to celebrate my birthday and had the pleasure of experiencing their Autumn Collection: Innovative Satoyama Cuisine. The ambience was simple and zen, providing a calm and elegant setting for the meal. The serving staff were consistently pleasant and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Our favourite dishes included the Scallop from Hokkaido, cooked to perfection with an exquisitely soft and tender texture, complemented by a delicately rich sauce. The Hairy Crab with Salmon Roe, Hokkaido Sea Urchin, and Rice from Ehime and Kyoto were equally impressive. The rice, prepared much like a risotto, was perfect, and the seafood was handled with such finesse that every bite was a delight. The Langoustine from Kanagawa brought a wonderful taste of the ocean, paired beautifully with a homemade tomato sauce. A particularly memorable moment was watching the “Bread of the Forest” – Moss being baked right in front of us on a hot stone — a fascinating and delicious touch. The only slight downside was that the wine introduction felt a bit pushy at the beginning. Otherwise, everything was exceptional. It was also heartwarming to have Chef Yoshihiro Narisawa personally greeting diners, adding a special, personal touch to the experience. Overall, it was a truly memorable celebration, and we look forward to returning.

Narisawa is a fascinating combination of opposites - Fancy but hiding in a residential (?) building, personable but silent and cold, good japanese ingredients, but lacking on the Japanese aspect of the cuisine. Like many Michelin starred restaurants around the world, Narisawa serves semi-localized French cuisine. Despite the ingredients being sourced from all over japan, and being unique and high quality, the meal itself didn't feel very local - I would have loved to see some unique japanese cooking techniques. That said the food is good, and you could tell a lot of thought was put into the presentation of the dishes (I was most impressed by the bread baking in cherry blossom at our table). The staff were kind and the experience was personalized well, with my dietary restrictions well accommodated and our anniversary celebration. At the same time all the tables and chairs are pointed at the chef, and the kitchen works in complete silence. Narisawa was certainly an experience, and I'm glad I was able to try it. Would I be back? Unsure. But it was hands down worth a visit.

It was my first time in Tokyo, and I was lucky enough to score a reservation at Narisawa. The entire experience was beautiful - thoughtful, inspiring, and artfully curated from start to finish. Every dish told a story, and its presentation perfectly complemented the overall journey. Added on the sake pairing and it was well worth it!

Dining at NARISAWA was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, everything felt refined and intentional, from the beautiful plates and atmosphere to the flawless service. The food was true fine dining in every sense. Each course was creative yet deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, with flavors that were precise, bold, and memorable. Even something as simple as the wasabi sauce stood out and left a lasting impression. The entrance of the restaurant is towards the back of the building it was a little bit confusing and not very well marked. Did you know NARISAWA has been ranked among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants and is known for its innovative approach called “Innovative Satoyama Cuisine,” which celebrates nature and sustainability? That philosophy comes through in every bite. What makes NARISAWA so special is the way it combines artistry, hospitality, and taste into one seamless experience. It is the kind of restaurant that makes you say wow at every step. Truly one of the finest dining experiences in Japan.

Green tea from Fukuoka was so good and very fresh. Sake from Toyama Fried Squid with caviar on top. It was so crunchy and delicious The grilled scallop has umami flavor , with the onion sauce cream and dashi and bonito. Th creas was so delicious. It is hit my spot. The Eel with corn and truffle was good but not my favourite. The bread of the forest was really impressive. They baked it in front of us. I can taste the orange inside the bread and it enhanced when I added butter inside the bread. The grouper was good, well balance,soft like tofu and no smell at all. The wagyu beef so delicious and it was medium rare. The sauce was ok. The Dark brown sugar was so tasty and bouncy very well match vanilla ice cream. The Melon was the star, the cream carbonated was surprised me. It was so unbelievable good The Hebesu and honey was very delicious too. It was well balance with honey and a little bit tangy flavour We got surprise cake for our reunion. So thoughtful and well deserve as Michelin double stars. The Staff very polite and informative. For sure, I will come back. The price for the quality food and service worth it because they looked the specialty each part of Japan

We had an exceptional dinner, opting for the wine and sake pairing. They were incredibly accommodating of my girlfriend’s vegan dietary restrictions, and every dish we tried was outstanding. The pairing of Japanese wines and premium sakes was the perfect complement to the meal. This was hands down the best food we had on our trip, and possibly the best meal of the year. In my opinion, they are fully deserving of a third Michelin star. We can’t wait to return!

Imahan is a popular spot for sukiyaki, and I recommend making a reservation in advance. The restaurant has a beautiful traditional Japanese atmosphere. The set menu is on the pricey side, but the quality of the meat is excellent, and the staff are very polite. That said, considering the overall cost and experience, it’s probably not a place I’d return to.

Love the food. We ordered the best quality beef set menu. Beef was so delicious and every day they have different wagyu beef. If you look for old fashion style high level restaurants, must come to try. Suggestions book 1-2 months in advance. Will be back for sure

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant, which we had hoped would be one of the highlights of our trip to Tokyo. We made a reservation in advance and paid ¥17,600 (¥19,360 including tax) for the Top Quality Beef Sukiyaki Tsuki Course for two. This was quite expensive for us, but we were willing to pay for what we expected to be an exceptional dining experience with top-tier ingredients and service. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the opposite. We were left alone in a private room for long periods and had to wait excessively for our food. The appetizer course went smoothly. However, despite clearly stating in our reservation that my husband has food allergies—including an allergy to otoro (fatty tuna)—we were still served a dish with about four pieces of red fish. I had to eat it in his place. (If you have food allergies, I strongly advise double-checking with the staff before dining here.) Later, the staff brought in raw beef and then left the room. The meat and a bowl of cracked raw egg were left on the table for over 10 minutes. No one returned until I pressed the call button to say we were ready. Only then did someone come in to start cooking. After finishing the sukiyaki, the staff told us they would return to prepare fried rice with the remaining egg. Instead, we were left again—with empty dishes, leftover egg, and a hot pan—for over 40 minutes. I even asked a staff member to refill our water (since there was no water jug in the room), but we were simply left there waiting. Eventually, we felt we could not waste any more time and decided to leave. We did not get to complete the full course, and the level of service we received was nowhere near worth the nearly ¥40,000 we spent. Although the staff offered to serve dessert at the end, it did little to make up for what was, unfortunately, the worst dining experience we’ve ever had.

Came to enjoy sukiyaki with co-workers. Everything was amazing. From the traditional service to the amazing food. The beef just melted in my mouth and the coating of raw egg made it velvety and creamy. The veggies, which were picked during to being in season, was a great pairing to the meat. The last course of rice with lightly cooked eggs was elevated when the waitress told us to pour the remaining raw egg into the rice. I could have eaten at least 2 more bowls of rice!

Very good service and nice traditional vibe. We ordered the ¥5000 lunch sukiyaki and ¥2700 kids version. We sit in a private room and a lady with kimono cooked for us for the entire time. The food was tasty and the portion is big. We were so full and satisfied for the experience. Highly recommended and I’ll come back next time.

I’m a sucker for 壽喜燒 I’m also a sucker for old school nostalgia This was: Top quality beef Top service Top tier sukiyaki Although the pricing was not too friendly (I ordered two additional prices, 2 for 8500 yens), I knew it was somewhere special and I needed to fulfill that hunger with additional meat. But trust me, 3 pieces is very enough, with three different dishes of accompanying food (lettuce, noodles, veggies, tofu). The rice…made the mistake of ordering additional bowls of rice. Overall highly recommend if you don’t mind the price. Otherwise just a very exquisite experience.

The restaurant building and interiors are a bit worn and dated. It's a pricey ($150+/pp) course menu restaurant. The food is amazing. The presentation is very good. Variety is great and meat is fantastic. They cook it right in the room with you. The service was great too. Tatami mats, shoes off, staff wears traditional clothing

Monja, fukurou and melon pan experience were superb. Will return soon

A good selection of traditional restaurants worth a visits, it's more traditional around here so good if you're looking for something that you won't find anywhere else

Many of the shops weren’t open during the day. It feels like a newly developed commercial area.

Now, if you are stating in Ginza and have a craving for Monja - head here on the bus! Charming street filled with about 80 places to eat - the smells will lead you to the one that is right for you! Yes, you have to make your own dinner - but that's the fun of it, right? Careful - some shops have smoking permitted.

We made a stop here to try monjayaki for the first time before heading to kidzania. Chose to dine at Daruma Monjayaki shop just opposite the Monja street information center. You can always get a guide map from the information center as they have a list of all the shops along the street or make a reservation online before hand. We were short on time so we chose whichever was closest but it was nothing short on experience. The staff spoke good English and were very helpful with ordering. They’ll cook for you on the spot so you can just sit back and relax. Was surprised at the side of it and wondered how can my daughter and me finish it but we managed to finished every bit of it! Will be back again on our next trip to explore more!

It’s a unique and cool sight to see so many restaurants in close proximity, all competing with the exact same food. No guarantee you can get into any single one, but walk around and you’re sure to find a shop without too much of a wait where you can get some authentic monjayaki.

Too quiet as a tourist street. 20% of the shops are still closed (probably due to COVID). Very few people walking down and /or eating there. However just before I left, look whom I bumped into! I met the symbol of this island! What a luck!

Obana unagi We arrived 15.06 for lunch and there were 2 more people before us and by the 15.30 they opened the courtyard (half an hour before start 9 more people arrived at courtyard. The ordering process was swift she took our orders near 15.35 when it was 16.00 5 more people came and went in with the first guy infront of us, it was rude but i understand they were on some business dinner. By 17.00 our dinner was arrived. We ordered large and medium Unajyu. It was delicious, Eel was melting in your mouth with such delicacy, ı only wish the eel was more salty and saucy to allow rice to soak all the juice, but this was i can taste the eel better i think, the traditional atmosphere of the place is amazing, the overall even though it was kinda expensive this was an experience we shall savour. (Sorry my native language isn’t English, i tried my best to reflect my experience).

Well deserving of their Michelin ⭐️, this place excels in their food and service. They’re known for eel, which is the only entree on the menu. A few other side dishes are available to choose from, with the egg omelette and the chicken skewers being my favorite. A liver soup was recommended by the waitress, but it was really hot outside and I couldn’t handle hot soup. We arrived a few minutes before 10AM on a Saturday morning, and were the 7th in line. At 10AM, one of their staff came out and took down our party size and name, and then she let us inside the courtyard and took our order. It was 90+ that day, and the heat was unbearable, but luckily they have shaded seatings where we waited until they opened. Around 10:32AM, they placed a sign outside the front stating they were done accepting guests. I counted around 30ish people. The door opened at 11:30AM, and they let in a round of 15 people. The second round started about an hour later, or however quickly the food was served and the guests would eat. I suggest coming at 10AM and seating during the first round. The people who came 10 minutes after we did had to wait for the second round. The drinks and appetizers arrived shortly after seating. A short moment later, the omelette and skewers were served, and they were delicious. The eel with rice was the best I’ve ever eaten. If not for the bones, it wouldn’t even need chewing. I highly recommend the eel here, it was so good. The staff were friendly, and they spoke a little English, enough for us to order the menu and ask for directions to the restroom. Important points to note, this place is cash only. You’ll have to remove your shoes upon entering, so leave your holey socks at home.

Got there 45 minutes before opening time and I was the last person that got the spot 😅 waited a total of nearly 2 hours to eat unaju is not for everyone. But the eel is so tender, it melts in your mouth 🥹🥹🥹. Definitely the best unaju I have in my life

The staff knows English. The staff is very nice, service is amazing Their only entree is Unagi. It's amazing, 10/10 taste. It's so tender, soft, and buttery. We lined up at 9:54, were the first ones there. By 10:30 there were about 20 people in line. They open up at 11:30. They fit about 10 tables, 2 people each, so 20 people total for the first batch.

Disappoined, REALLY NOT WORTH I found this restaurant famous for grilled eel fish from Google Map, but I felt very very disappointed after visiting the place for dinner with my friend. First, the menu placed on Google was a few years ago, the price has gone up a lot， the medium eel fish rice cost Yen 6xxx , the large Yen 7xxx, we were asked that each of us ( two ppl) had to place at least 1 order of the above, so each person has to pay at least Yen 7xxx just for a small box of thin layer of rice and small pcs of thin grilled eel. Second, the eel looked okay in the photo but actually the meat quality was not fresh and tastless at all. In fact we were the only guests in the restaurant and we did not see anyone to queue up as mentioned in the reviews and photo. Last, the air conditioning was also poor and i sweated through eating.

Great Unagi Don, probably one of the best I've had. The unagi is extremely rich, fatty and creamy. Seasoning is good too, though I'd say a little weak for those with stronger pallette. What also sets this place apart is the level of service, the staff are just so nice and welcoming and the place will make you feel like home. You do have to pay a premium to eat here though. Can be around 10,000yen per person for an Unagi don. Overall 8.5/10, would return

What an experience Unagi Obana was. We Went an hour before opening time and there was already a small line. Luckily we made it through the first service. Speaking of service, it was top notch, the wait staff took our orders while we were in line and had our entree on our tables pretty quickly. The food, absolutely delicious eel. Never had any eel like this. It was butter in your mouth, not overly powerful on the teriyaki sauce which really brought out the full flavour of the Unagi. The combination of the rice was just a match made in heaven. You do have to pay a lot more for this experience but it is definitely worth it.
