The 26 best churches in Chiyoda

Definitely not a cheap venture it is still a must try experience. It's just hard to know what to get and from where without knowing a local. The sashimi choice is phenomenal as is the stalls offering everything from giant grilled scallops, sea urchin, fresh oysters and Okonomi-age which is my new favourite street snack. Best to walk the market (it's not huge) then decide what you like the look of and at what price and then go back to eat. The Whale Sashimi was nothing like I'd tasted before - an acquired taste that was best described as the kangaroo of the sea! And I opted to try the Tuna Sashimi from Sushizanmai as price vs value was the best. However, if you are a sushi aficionado looking for a top-tier experience it is a little less “magical” than the smaller, specialized sushi shops or high-end omakase spots. I loved the Mitarashi Dango and I prefered the hot Tamogayaki on a stick better than the cold pre-prepared options. The Wagyu Beef Tacos from Wagyu Jyu Jyu was also a win and are a tasty, budget Wagyu fix — not as luxe, but worth it for the salsa onion. To wash it all down do not go past a Muscat Grape Smoothie, my newest addiction! And a hidden gem are the Pork And Chicken Dumplings from Suga Shoten and as an added bonus are one of very few that take card.

An absolute paradise for food lovers! The freshest seafood you can imagine — I tried some incredible tuna that just melted in my mouth. The market is full of colors, energy, and amazing smells, with stalls offering sushi, oysters, grilled scallops, and all kinds of snacks. Don’t miss the delicious ice cream — perfect after a seafood feast! Great place for photos too — every corner is full of life and color. A must-visit when in Tokyo!

The Tsukiji Outdoor Market is an amazing experience! So much incredible fresh seafood, delicious street food, and a lively atmosphere. The vendors are friendly, and there’s a great mix of traditional and modern Japanese snacks and gifts. Perfect spot to explore, eat, and soak up the local culture! 🐟🍣

# 🇯🇵 Tsukiji: Early Morning Charm Meets Tourist Traps Tsukiji is rather worth an early morning visit—there’s something quite authentic about the old Japanese atmosphere that lingers in the narrow lanes. However, do tread carefully. Establishments charging 5,000 yen for a single beef skewer? That’s what one might call the textbook definition of an “intelligence tax” aimed squarely at tourists 😅 A reliable rule of thumb: Stick to spots where you see Japanese locals queuing up. If the clientele is entirely tourists, well… your wallet will thank you for walking past. 💡 Quick Tip Early mornings offer the best atmosphere, and following the locals never steers you wrong.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• The Tsukiji Outer Market (築地場外市場, Tsukiji Jōgai Shijō) is the area that remains after the wholesale inner market moved to Toyosu.  • It’s a lively, working market district where both professionals (chefs, restaurateurs) and tourists shop.  • The streets are narrow and filled with a mix of seafood stalls, restaurants, dried‑food shops, and kitchenware / knife shops.  • There’s a real “market” feel: corrugated roofs, old signage, and a history that goes back many decades.  What to Eat • Seafood Bowls (Kaisendon / Donburi): One of the biggest draws — many shops serve fresh kaisendon (rice bowls with raw seafood). Live Japan notes bowls with uni, tuna, ikura, etc., usually between ¥1,000–¥2,000 for good quality.  • Street Food: There are lots of snack‑type stalls: grilled scallops, whole prawns, seafood skewers.  • Non-Seafood Options: You can also find tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), tempura, ramen, and traditional sweets.  • Kitchenware & Knives: Tsukiji Outer Market is famous for its professional-grade knives and cooking utensils — great spot for culinary gear shopping. • Authentic Market Feel: Even though it’s very tourist-visited, it retains real working-market energy.  • Wide Variety: You’re not just limited to seafood — lots of food variety + shopping.  • Fresh Seafood: Because many shops still deal in real wholesale or “trade‑level” seafood, the quality can be very high.  • Early Morning Charm: The best time to visit is early morning — many shops open very early, and you’ll avoid some of the crowds.  • Expert Advice Available: Some vendors are very knowledgeable; if you’re buying ingredients or knives, you can ask for tips.  • Great for Photography: The old-style market architecture, narrow alleys, and food stalls make for very “Tokyo market” photo • Crowds: It gets very busy, especially mid‑morning (around 9–11 am) when tourist foot traffic peaks.  • Limited Afternoon Hours: Many stalls close around early afternoon (some shops close by ~14:00).  • Not All Shops Open Every Day: Some shops close on Sundays and some Wednesdays.  • Touristy Prices: Some visitors feel that food, especially sushi or donburi, can be more expensive than what locals pay. > “Food at the Tsukiji outer market is not a good deal … it’s not a place to go for a bargain.”  • Photo Etiquette & Space: The market is crowded and narrow — be careful when taking photos, don’t block walkways, and ask before photographing shops.  • Luggage & Bags: Large bags and strollers can be cumbersome; the official site advises storing large items to keep lanes clear. • Go Early: Aim for early morning (around 7:00–8:30) to catch the market vibe, good food, and fewer crowds.  • Bring Cash: While many shops accept cards, smaller stalls may be cash-only. • Sample Before Buying: Many food stalls let you try small items; and for kitchenware, vendor staff often give advice or show how to use tools.  • Plan What to Eat: Make a “food crawl” — pick a few must-try stalls (seafood bowl, grilled scallop, tamago, etc.) rather than trying to eat everything. • Check Shop Open Days: Because of varied closing days (especially Wednesdays and Sundays), check the market’s website or shop list before going. On the flip side: some say “food is good, but make sure to go early – otherwise you’ll hit crowds and limited selection.” • According to Good Luck Trip, there are about 400+ shops, making it an excellent place to both browse and eat.  • Definitely Worth It If You: • Love seafood and want to try quality fresh Japanese seafood bowls. • Enjoy food markets, street food, and culinary culture. • Are an early riser and don’t mind navigating narrow alleys. • Want to combine shopping for food + kitchen tools + souvenirs. • Maybe Skip / De-prioritize If You: • Only have a short trip to Tokyo and don’t care much about food markets. • Don’t like crowded tourist spots. • Prefer “budget-only” food — it’s not always super cheap for what you’re tasting. Beware of overpriced shops, as 90% are foreign tourists.

Tsukiji Fish Market is a historic market in Tokyo that has also become a popular tourist attraction. Fortunately, they still have a market selling fish, in addition to restaurants and shops selling souvenirs. Additionally, the food and drinks at Tsukiji Fish Market are very reasonably priced. All the stores and restaurants are bustling, with hundreds of customers lined up outside. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and look forward to returning to Tsukiji Fish Market next time I visit Tokyo.

Crowded but a staple when visiting Japan for tourists. We enjoyed our time at the Tsukiji fish market, but be prepared for long lines and crowded walkways if you go near ~9 AM, even ~8 AM and after. Most vendors only take cash. And a lot of places you can’t sit and eat, you have to stand. For most trashcans, you must eat at the location in order to throw away your trash. If you are visiting Kyoto, I feel like the Nishiki is comparable, and a lot less busy (unless it’s a rainy day in Kyoto).

Beautiful church. We came to listen to English mass on a Sunday. It was a peaceful atmosphere, with a thought-provoking sermon, and the congregation was lovely and diverse (it was our first time hearing African praise and worship and we absolutely loved it. We even searched for the songs when we came back home. Much love to our brothers and sisters). We will come back on our future visits.

Great experience here. The architecture was very unique compared to must churches since it's designed to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. It is a subtle, understated beautiful design with an amazing ceiling. We were also impressed with the number of participants ts and sheer size of the mass. We attended on a hot July Sunday and there were easily 800 people in attendance. Kudos to my wife for suggesting we actually attend mass during vacation!

St. Ignatius Catholic Church (Kojimachi) is such a peaceful and beautiful place. It’s spacious and surrounded by greenery, and also one of the Porta Sancta churches. What really stands out is the architecture — the ceiling is shaped like a flower and partly transparent, letting in soft natural light while keeping the place cool and calm. Truly a serene spot to pray and reflect.

Here’s a detailed overview of St. Ignatius Church in Tokyo: its history, what you’ll experience there, and things to keep in mind if you plan to visit. Easy access from Yotsuya JR station. 📍 Basic Information • Official name: Kōjimachi Catholic Church, but commonly known as St. Ignatius Church.  • Address: 6-5-1 Kōjimachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-0083.  • Nearest stations: JR Yotsuya Station (Kōjimachi exit), Tokyo Metro Yotsuya Station (Marunouchi / Namboku lines).  • Entry: Free of charge. No ticket required.  🕰 History & Architecture • The parish traces its origins back to 1936 when a church under the name “St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus” was established.  • In 1945, during a massive air raid, the predecessor church burned down.  • The Jesuit order (the Society of Jesus) was entrusted with reviving the parish, and the dedication to St. Ignatius of Loyola took place in 1949.  • The current church building was completed in 1999.  • Architectural features: The main chapel is oval-shaped (symbolising life and resurrection) and the building includes 12 columns representing the 12 apostles, along with stained glass windows with nature themes.  ⸻ 🙏 Masses & Services • Weekday Masses (in Japanese): 7:00 am, 12:00 noon, 6:00 pm.  • Sunday Masses: • Japanese: 7:00 am, 8:30 am, 10:00 am, 6:00 pm.  • English: 12:00 noon every Sunday.  • Spanish: 1:30 pm every Sunday.  • Additional languages: Portuguese, Vietnamese, Polish, Indonesian services at specific times.  • Other sacraments: Confession is offered (times vary depending on day) and there’s mention of home communion for the sick.  ✅ Why It’s Worth a Visit • Central location in Tokyo, easy to reach from major metro/train lines. • Architecturally interesting building with symbolic design and ample space. • International parish: multilingual Masses make it welcoming for non-Japanese speakers. • Free entry, so you can visit whether or not you plan to attend Mass. • Good for both worshippers and visitors interested in religious architecture or quiet reflection. ⚠ Things to Keep in Mind • As with many active churches, it is a place of worship first—so during Mass, dress modestly and maintain respectful silence. • If visiting outside Mass times, check their official website or bulletin for any changes (holidays, maintenance). • Photography: Generally not allowed inside the churches, but during services or in restricted areas (altar, tabernacle) you should be discreet and follow any posted rules. The sources I found don’t guarantee unrestricted photo access. • If you plan to visit for a Mass in a specific language (e.g., English or Spanish), arriving a bit early is wise to secure a seat. • Although the building is modern and well-equipped (wheelchair access, etc) check for current accessibility features if you have specific needs.  If you’re in Tokyo and have even a bit of time, St Ignatius Church is a solid choice: you’ll find a welcoming environment, interesting architecture, and the ability to attend Mass in English or other languages if you wish. Whether you’re religious or just curious about cultural/religious landmarks, it’s a visit that can fit in easily with many itineraries.

This was the first time I had  visited this church. They have Vietnamese mass on Sunday  at 3:30 p.m. A large number of young people attended the  liturgy, and the church was  beautiful. Specifically, the  roof is shaped like a flower.

This is one of the church that being chosen by the Archdiocese of Tokyo as 2025 Jubilee pilgrimage sites. I love the architecture of this oval-shaped church. It serves masses for several languages, such as Japanese, English, Vietnamese, and also Indonesian (biweekly). The air conditioner worked even if there was no mass.

Attended mass here with my wife and 3 children. It’s a huge church, very spacious and gets packed on a Sunday 12pm English Mass. We had attended this Mass after experiencing Mass at the Franciscan Centre in Roppongi the week earlier which seemed more like a Disney musical performance. You can imagine how relieved we were to experience the normal order of Mass here at St Ignatius. The priest was calm, prayerful and had a good sermon. The only negatives was that there seems to be random lay volunteer women at all these Japanese churches who take their jobs too seriously. The moment our child approximated a cry, they come up to us insisting it’d be better if we took them to the cry room. All in all, a beautiful church

Ochanmizu is a JR (Japan railway) station. I used this station to go Narita airport by asakusa pink line.

Pretty easy to navigate. The Marunouchi line is separated from the JR line so you will need to cross the bridge. The two entrances are very near each other and crossing the road is not difficult to do. Not confusing like how some other stations can be.

Closest Chuo line station to get to Akihabara, nice train spotting area

Main stations on the JR Chuo Line, Sobu Line, and Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line Shin-Ochanomizu Station & 🚏🚌Toei Higashi 43 has stops bound for Tokyo Station North Exit and Arakawa Dote. Historical old route bus. Operates approximately 2 times per hour. Famous student town of Tokyo Dental University, Juntendo University, and Meiji University Sporting goods store & musical instrument store. Kanda Jimbocho bookstore & This is the path to Akihabara's electric town and idol sacred place. There is the historic Nikolai Hall and Holy Bridge.Yamanoue Hotel is closed and famous celebrities stayed here.

It's a large station Under construction Various shops and restaurants can be found Also a good.location in the city. I liked the neighborhood

Old station need to be renovated. Photo stand is available.

Ochanomiziu and shin Ochanomiziu are two stations infront of each other situated over the kanda river

A beautiful and vast shrine with a presence. The large tori gate greeting you as you enter the shrine makes this temple unique among the temple in Tokyo. When you enter the temple, you are greeted with a large public area with many sections to explore. Going near the end of the day is unique as you get to see the sun setting over the tori gate and the temple.

It's beautiful. The shrine is dedicated to the respect of all those who died fighting for Japan from the Meiji Era onward. There is the shrine proper, the Yushukan a museum to preserve the memory of the kami, an archive, a beautiful garden and several monuments. The shrine is very important and there is a lot of people there during the day. The best time to be there is very early in the morning.

Very big temple with - parking, vending machines, museum, food stalls and largely many festivals and ceremonies held very frequently. One of the best places to visit and experience the difference - pleasant and lively location with lot of Ginko trees and tree shades to beat the heat while in summer, beat the cold with fantastic views in winter, thrilling views during autumn with the color changes … a place one should never miss.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. They were doing construction before an event so there was scaffolding, but even that was pretty. Inside the museum is a nice gift shop and a pretty public toilet. Quick note, if you want to take a photo of the shrine, take it from the side near the gravel (or the guard will politely remind you).

Very beautiful shrine. The yearly Mitama Matsuri is a must see in Tokyo. Japanese people honor the spirits of the dead on these days. The shrine is decorated with 30,000 lanterns during this time.

This place is a sacred place for Japan. The spirits of the dead of Japanese solders from ww2 are deified here since the end of the war. They devoted themselves to their sweet homeland. Respect here and never be impolite. You all can come here! This is open for everyone and good park with greens! There are huge gate and Shrine. You would feel very sacred atmosphere! You can buy fortune stuffs here. And there are museum for Japanese ancestors who devoted themselves to Japan!!!

True to its reputation, this shrine has some interesting galleries and exhibitions on the more sensitive topics. But otherwise, it’s a pretty huge shrine/park with seats every couple of steps for you to rest and enjoy the atmosphere.

Lovely shrine with a large main building with many smaller buildings around it. A visitor centre is built to the side and a museum can be found at the back of the shrine grounds. It seems like wedding ceremonies can also be arranged here. However, this place feels very commercialised. I'm not sure how I should feel about a place of worship being commercialised to this extent...

This shrine is open 24 hours a day, so you can come to worship at any time. It also appears as a setting in anime, making it a must-visit spot for travelers who love Japanese animation and history 😊😊😊

As there was an annual festival there, I went there with friends. Due to light rain, there weren't so many visitors as expected. With some money offering, I prayed to its god for the success in my business. There were some music performances, beating Japanese drum playing old Japanese music with Japanese guitars and bamboo flutes. Make sure to buy the famous Amazake at the entrance for 350 yen.

An interesting temple situated in the middle of tall office and residential buildings. It doesn't seem to be as touristy as other similar temples which can be considered a good thing for most visitors. I'd say its worth a visit if you are in the area.

A lovely shrine, especially at night. It gave me the feeling of Spirited Away, like stepping in the spiritual world. (I accidentally came across it when I was walking back to my hotel at night)

In close proximity from akhihabra this is a beautiful shrine. Very peaceful. There is a bit of Climbing stairs as it’s on elevated ground.

never knew there was a shrine 15 minutes walk away from Akihabara, good change of pace. Fortune Slips ( Omikuji ) is available for those who want to get their fortune read by a machine for 200 yen

Surrounded by modern buildings, the shrine feels especially charming. Clear signs guide you from the subway exit. An escalator at the main entrance saves many people's knees. The omamori is a monkey, the first time I've seen one like this.

A very beautiful shrine in the midst of all the big concrete office buildings. Really bringing to life the duality of the old and new japan. Unfortunately, we arrived just after the goshuin area was closed despite it saying it closes at 5 on google, but was shut after 4. There was also quite a bit of construction near the shrine, but it is still open.

What a surprising place right in the middle of the urban area of Akasaka. It's an important and very beautiful Shinto shrine. What stands out the most is the staircase at one of the entrances (west side), with dozens of red torii gates, which looks like a smaller version of the famous Fushimi Inari in Kyoto. It's perfect for photos. Another curiosity is the monkey statues guarding the site, instead of the traditional lion-dogs, as they are considered the messengers of the local deity. There is even an escalator at another entrance to facilitate the ascent to the main courtyard. Admission is free.

We saw the place from the hotel room we stay. So we decided to check it out one morning. Pretty creepy when learned about the origin of the shrine but i love creepy!!!!!! Cool stories and artifacts in the museum room though. Not a religious person but i love to know about cultures and places

During my time of visit there was a lot of people on the month of December which i understand,but definitely a peaceful place to come and pray before the end of year. One thing I dislike is when the non locals or people who are not from Japan crowding up the line just to a picture in the exit way I understand the background is nice with the tori gates but please be respectful and let the people pass instead making them wait

Quiet and peaceful. It was not crowded, only visited by local prayers and a little amount of tourist. The sunset from the shrine area was beautiful. Keep in mind that we can't take photographs of the shrine building itself.

There was a beautiful family day on with we visit with lots of kids dressed in traditional dress and getting photos. This made it busier then it may have normally been but super cute! The Thousand Tori gate was beautiful and highly recommended

The reservation process was seamless and efficient, facilitated through Google. I arrived approximately ten minutes prior to my scheduled time and was greeted with a warm and welcoming reception. Ms. Chen, my server, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and provided valuable assistance in selecting my dinner. The presentation of the meal was impeccable, transforming the dining experience into a culinary journey centered around Kobe beef, which I thoroughly enjoyed. While the pricing was somewhat elevated for the specific dish, the exquisite taste of the steak fully justified the cost.

We visited this high-end restaurant in Tokyo to try their renowned Kobe beef. While the service was truly impeccable and the staff spoke excellent English, which made the experience smooth and pleasant, there are several points worth noting for future guests. They offer an exceptional wine selection, including prestigious labels such as Château Pétrus, Château Margaux, and Dom Pérignon champagne. The atmosphere is elegant and refined, clearly catering to a luxury clientele. However, the menu prices are very expensive, especially in the evening. Prices range from ¥26,000 to ¥38,000 per person, plus a 10% service charge. We ordered two menus at ¥33,000 each. Surprisingly, basic items such as rice (¥400) and even a small piece of bread with butter (¥400) were charged separately — something I personally find quite unusual for this price point. The food presentation was refined, but in my opinion, the taste and quality did not justify the high cost. The total bill came to ¥90,000 (around USD $600) — equivalent to a meal at a two- or three-star Michelin restaurant in France. The Kobe beef itself was good, but not extraordinary. Honestly, I’ve had better steaks for a fraction of the price, both in Japan and abroad. In conclusion, this is a luxury restaurant with top-tier service and fine wines, but the culinary experience, while decent, did not meet the expectations set by the price. It was worth trying once, but I would not return. Be aware that you’re paying for the prestige, not necessarily the flavor.

This spot is a great place for couples and maybe families with older children. You a private booth to yourself. The food was amazing, the space between course/dishes was perfectly timed. Of course the Kobe was on point!!! Delicious. The service, the presentation and atmosphere were spot on. Our server Taisei was extremely well mannered and had great conversations with him after every course/dish. The other staff as well. Really good concept for sure. If you are ever in the US Taisei look me up.

Kobe Beef 511 is exceptional. From the moment you walk in, the calm elegance and genuine hospitality set the tone. The beef is extraordinary, tender, perfectly marbled, and cooked with precision. Every bite is rich yet delicate, complemented by beautifully balanced sides and sauces. Service is attentive, discreet, and thoughtful throughout. A truly memorable experience for anyone who values genuine quality, craftsmanship, and quiet excellence.

Private dining room. Dinner experience not to miss. Impeccable service from all staff front and back of house. Very good English spoken.

My first time visiting Japan & trying Kobe Beef. It was amazing! I normally don’t like steak but this was like nothing I’ve ever had before. So tender, so juicy & delicious. 10/10 absolutely recommend if you’re in the area come visit Chef Naoto Kohama❤️

Creative beef focused menu. Had a private room for 6, quiet and contained enough to have a conversation without shouting. Highlight was the wagyu and the tomato salad!

Very cool Shinto Shrine in central Tokyo. Many smaller shrines here too. Many people visiting durning the day. There is a shrine office. Well kept and easy to find. Nice wooden Tori gate. Check it out if you’re in the area.

Small temple, surprisingly long line. I’d probably skip this one next time unless you’re into spiritual speed dating. Apparently, people come here to pray for love—and judging by the crowd, most are very single and very hopeful. Honestly, it feels less like a sacred site and more like Tokyo’s most polite singles mixer. If you’re looking for romance or just someone who also believes in divine matchmaking, this might be your place. Otherwise, bring patience… and maybe a dating app.

Quite a nice shrine. Just be aware that it is mainly for singles looking for God’s help to send them love and a partner in life. If you are coming with your family might not be exactly appropriate to stand on the same queue as the singles who are walking towards the altar and making their love wishes. We stepped away from the queue and took a few pictures. Beware of mosquitoes. We have all been bitten by them in the same moment. It can get pretty crowded especially in the evening and during weekends.

**東京大神宮 – An Authentic Spiritual Retreat Favored by Locals** Tokyo Daijingu is one of Tokyo’s most revered Shinto shrines, known especially for enmusubi (縁結び) – prayers for love and strong relationships. Founded in 1880 and dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu, it was the first shrine in Tokyo to offer traditional Shinto weddings. Unlike some of the city’s more tourist-heavy shrines, this is where **locals come for sincere prayer and reflection**. Be sure to **toss a coin** (usually a 5-yen coin for good luck) at the main hall, bow twice, clap twice, make your wish, and bow once more respectfully. If you have old amulets or bracelets from previous shrine visits, there’s a dedicated place here to **return them respectfully** for ritual recycling – a thoughtful Shinto practice. For a deeper experience, you can **write a personal wish (ema) on a wooden plaque** – each for 5000 yen – which will be included in a special blessing ceremony by the priests. A calm, deeply traditional place perfect for those seeking a more intimate spiritual moment in Tokyo.

A shrine tucked away in a residential area, it’s said to be especially effective for prayers about love and relationships. If you’re single, you definitely shouldn’t miss giving it a try 😁😁😁

Such a beautiful and peaceful shrine in the heart of the city, beautifully blending tradition and serenity. It’s a lovely place to pause, pay respects, and feel a quiet sense of connection amid the bustle of Tokyo.

Visited during weekday. According to locals, it’s famous for single to pray for love.

Visited while on holiday from Sydney for Good Friday. Welcoming support staff and beautiful Cathedral and grounds made for an amazing experience. So welcoming .

The church looks well designed and well maintained. It was an interesting place to visit for somebody who is from a primarily Orthodox country. I give 4 stars because the visiting hours are too short and because it is necessary to pay a donation to go inside. Its such an unorthodox concept for an orthodox church.

A nice orthodox cathedral in the centre of Tokyo. Although they took most of the religious icons and representations from the Russians, they didn't do a very good job in copying them in my opinion... The time we visited, they were performing a nice service in Japanese which was interesting.

A stunning piece of architecture and peace in the city, you feel that it is more than a cathedral, the Byzantine style design and dome are striking and make it stand out in the middle of modern Tokyo. It's peaceful and solemn inside, offering a nice place to reflect or learn more about Orthodox Christianity in Japan. Staff and volunteers are welcoming, even if you're not religious, it's worth a visit for the architecture and cultural history, and I would recommend to visit on palm Sunday, and Easter to get the full experience🙏🏻

As an orthodox Christian, i was surprised to feel this was my favorite church and service to visit in the world, even in a far away and foreign country. The people working here are very caring and professional to the liturgy and I felt right at home. I will miss Tokyo now even more because of this wonderful church.

Beautiful Orthodox Church located near the JR station. The exterior of the church is magnificent. You need to pay/ donate 300 yen to go inside

My wife is Catholic, I am orthodox. The church “had” a book store, and was open at one. My wife went in to take a look as it was “open” and they said no photos allowed, I’ve been to dozens of Orthodox Cathedrals in my life and not a single one has basically charged someone to go in, and not one I’ve been to didn’t allow photos. The JOC needs to figure this out, as the Saint the cathedral is dedicated to is an amazing Saint, and I believe his relics are even there

So good I went twice! Daisuke is a wonderful sushi master and host. You’ll find that many people come here from word of mouth. Recommendations from other friends around the world. You can now add me to that list of advocates. This is an omakase restaurant so you’ll be served by Daisuke himself over multiple courses… who will make his way around the 12 seats or so. There are a couple of private rooms I believe, but the counter is where I’d recommend you sit. You’ll then get to interact with Daisuke and the other patrons. As for the food, all of it is fresh from that morning with every single piece and course being better than the last. The core items (like tuna) will remain the same but they will mix it up depending on what is fresh that day. The drinks menu is Japanese and thorough… no menu per se, so just ask. I had beer, whisky high ball and hot sake… all good! Price wise… it’s omakase so not cheap. With the number of courses, the quality and the service I’d still consider it great value. I’ll return when I’m next back in Tokyo!!!

From start to finish Daisuke delivers an outstanding experience. We learned about and tasted many different types of sushi and the dessert was delicious too. I will be sending all my friends to his restaurant for sure. Daisuke is the man!

I went here during my Japan trip in April. The food was phenomenal, the explanations for each dish were lovely, the atmosphere of the place was great. I was able to make quite a few friends during this tasting as I was alone. I looked around for a while searching for a good omakase and I am beyond happy I chose this place, will definitely go back. The drinks were lovely and I loved trialing the different Tunas.

Spellbinding sushi experience! The food and atmosphere are exactly what you are looking for when you’re thinking about really good sushi. Daisuke is Chef/Owner/Host and he delivers again and again. Bring a solid appetite as you’re going eat well. Try some saki and the Suntory Masters Dream beer that is really good. Daisuke will handle the rest. If you’re going with a mixed crowd, vegan, or finicky sushi eater- don’t worry you will be catered to and made most welcome by this master sushi Chef and his group. Really delivers here. Enjoy a night out here you won’t regret it.

We came here on a recommendation from a friend and were so glad we did - this is the best omakase we had on our trip and the most delicious sushi we've ever had. There is a LOT of food, so please come hungry. The staff is all very friendly and fluent in English, so they took time to explain all the dishes and origins. The highlight was definitely the tuna prepared four ways from leanest to fattiest - super delicious and so interesting to learn a bit more about tuna! *Unfortunately, we came here after a horrible case of food poisoning a few days ago and were just recovering - this was actually the first post-food poisoning meal we could have and I was still feeling a touch nauseous so I wasn't able to eat a much as I normally do, which I felt super badly about (so sorry, chefs!). However, they were very kind about it and made smaller sushi bites for me (as you can see in photos). This just means we will NEED to come back next time we are in Tokyo!

I’m aware that there are better and more expensive omakase places, but I really enjoy the whole experience here. I like the diversity of the sushi they have here, and the tuna and yam was interesting. The owner is really attentive and friendly. We came as a group of 3, when I said I would like no wasabi and one of my friends said he wanted less wasabi, the chef immediately made it accordingly. The overall experience is great, and it’s definitely a must try if you like omakase. Reservation (can be weeks in advance) is a must.

I don’t usually leave reviews on google maps… but oh my gosh. What an awesome experience from start to finish!!! The food, sake, chef… everything was amazing. You totally have to add this to your list of places to try.

Visited this grand old church on a quiet weekday. The gate at one end of the church grounds was locked so we had to walk over to the other end to enter.

This church has a beautiful architecture. Relatively small, but you can feel the presence of God in this church. This place is appointed by The Archdiocese of Tokyo as one of Jubilee 2025 pilgrimage sites. I was confused when I was there, and I asked the secretariat for help, and she helped me with her kindness. For the handicapped, there is a ramp available for entrance to the church, but the mechanism is a little bit complicated.

An impressive architectural masterpiece! This is a diocesan church named after St Francis Xavier, one of the first companions of St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, whose members are known as Jesuits. The present pope, Pope Francis, is a Jesuit. This church has only 350 parishioners. The stained glass windows are equally impressive.

I want to my Jubilee pilgrimage 2025. It is a very beautiful place that inspired spirituality , this church is dedicated to Francisco Xavier who came to Japan before even being canonized as a saint, so you're familiar to Japanese Catholic history or the hidden Christians of Nagasaki or if you read Silence by Shusaku Endo or saw the movie versio o Martin Scorsese you will relate to San Francisco Javier mission in Japan. I was fortunate enough to go on a Friday morning when they were celebrating Mass and partake of the Eucharist. I particularly liked the natural acoustic, the unique relics,the tasteful design of the stained glass and the spacious benches with kneelers which are quite rare these days.

We went for mass in this Catholic Church. Beautiful architecture with nice stained-glass windows.

Catholic church. Really beautiful inside. Mass times - Japanese Sunday 10am Friday 10. 30am

everything is ready for my date with jane 💔

A nice little parish that was very welcoming to visitors. Mass was in Japanese, but there were guides with Japanese romaji, English and Tagalog and it wasn't hard to follow along. The priest repeated several prayers and the homily in English after saying them in Japanese. Everyone seemed friendly, and we enjoyed seeing their historic building and collection of items from Catholic history in Japan. Would definitely go again if I'm ever in Tokyo!

This beautiful church is not big, but it has simple and awesome architecture. It has small museum at the corner that explain about the history of christianity in Japan and about the Tsukiji church itself. It is also chosen by the Archdiocese of Tokyo as one of the Jubilee 2025 pilgrimate sites. There is a western style bell next to the main gate. The church has wooden floor, so be careful to not make some noise here.

A wonderful church steeped in the echoes of countless prayers of the many who have worshipped here. This is also an appointed Church of the Holy Doors of Jubilee year 2025 under the Archdiocese of Tokyo While not grand, it’s very simplicity and the solemn atmosphere induce a feeling of warmth and prayerfulness. The little chairs in front of the statue of the Sacred Heart to the of the altar indicate how children are early on encouraged in prayers at this church. The little history corner in a little room is full of educational and interesting tidbits about Catholicism in Japan with anecdotes about how they hid the Blessed Virgin’s image under the guise of a deity

This modest yet historically significant church, with a seating capacity of approximately 200, served as Tokyo's first and only Catholic cathedral until 1920. A small section of the church is designated as a historical museum.

The church celebrates its 150th anniversary this year. In preparation for Christmas, there are two concerts planned. See brochures for details. The concerts are really good and provide a welcoming atmosphere for Christmas. As in all Catholic Churches, the church provides a peaceful environment for interaction with God among its worshippers. Accessible via a 5-8min walk from Tsukiji Station (exit 3B) on the Hibiya Line and a must visit if you plan a day visiting the Tsukiji Fish Market and a walk around the area.

Beautiful Catholic Palm Sunday Mass. Unexpectedly came across their side room wherein they present Catholic history in Japan which was fun exploring after mass.

This church becomes one of my favorite places in Japan! It is pretty small but very friendly and cozy with French father speaking in Japanese and English! Sunday Mass every Sunday

(Translated by Google) Hongo, Bunkyo-ku. A church completed in 1929. Founded in 1890 by missionary Charles Eby, it is currently affiliated with the United Church of Christ in Japan. The first church was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake, and the current church is the second. It was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1998. The first pipe organ in Japan was brought to this church by Welsh musician Edward Gauntlett. This historic church also appears in Natsume Soseki's novel "Sanshiro". I only saw it while passing by, so I don't have any photos of the inside. It seems that you can only visit the inside during times when there are no services and when there is someone to guide you. (Original) 文京区本郷。1929年に竣工した教会。チャールズ・イビー宣教師によって1890年に創立した教会で、現在は日本基督教団所属。初代の教会は関東大震災で焼失し、現在は2代目。1998年に国の重要文化財に指定されています。この教会にはウェールズ出身の音楽家、エドワード・ガントレットによって日本初のパイプオルガンが持ち込まれました。夏目漱石の小説『三四郎』にも登場する歴史ある教会です。通りすがりで見ただけなので、内部の写真はありません。内部を見学するには礼拝がない時間帯で案内できる人がいる時に限られるようです。

(Translated by Google) I went to church services, but I stopped going because I felt like I was being treated like an outsider, perhaps because I was conservative. The building itself was beautiful and the pipe organ was nice, but it wasn't very comfortable and I didn't want to come again. It can't be helped because we are a group of people who believe in God, but let's welcome them a little more. A disappointing church with beautiful containers. (Original) 礼拝に行ったが、保守的なのかよそ者扱い感がひどくて行かなくなった。建物自体は綺麗だしパイプオルガンも素敵だったけど、心地いいとは言えず2度と来たくないと思った。神様を信じている人間の集団だから仕方ないけどもう少し歓迎しましょうよ。入れ物が綺麗な残念な教会。

(Translated by Google) This is an old Protestant church. It is also a tangible cultural property. The pipe organ is also wonderful and majestic. The pastor's talk is easy to understand, and there are loose boundaries with other schools, but I wonder if the country can't help with the handmade feel? It's full of the feel of the early Showa era. It's cold. Directly from Hongo-sanchome subway station. (Original) 古いプロテスタントの教会です。 有形文化財でも有ります。 パイプオルガンも素敵で、荘厳です。牧師さんのお話も分かり易いし、他の流派との垣根もゆるいですが、手作り感満載で、国で援助は出来ないのでしょうか？ 兎に角、昭和初期の感じが満載で 寒いです。 地下鉄本郷三丁目駅から直ぐです。

(Translated by Google) One of Tokyo's Top 100 Historic Buildings United Church of Christ in Japan Ando Memorial Church It stands quietly at the top of Sendaizaka Hill in Motoazabu. With an altar in the northwest-northwest, stained glass on the southeast-southeast gable, and a penthouse that doubles as an entrance hall at the southwest-west corner, the church employs timber-framed stone construction, developed in the early Meiji period, with Oya stone stacked on a Western-style wooden framework, and Komatsu stone used in key areas such as the buttresses and drains. The surface of the soft gray-green Oya stone (tuff from Tochigi Prefecture) is engraved with the powerful "pickaxe marks" characteristic of stone from the hand-excavation period (Edo period to the 1950s). This clear visual contrast with the harder, darker Komatsu stone (andesite from Kanagawa Prefecture) creates a more free-form architectural style.

(Translated by Google) When I called to take a tour, no one answered, so I went there just to see the exterior. But I asked my kindergarten teacher to tell me about it, and I was able to take a tour. We saw the Oya stone chapel, Ogawa Michi's stained glass, and a flower stand made from a sake barrel lid. In order for the founder, Taro Ando, ​​to quit drinking, his wife Fumiko poured sake out of a sake barrel and used the lid to make a flower stand. (Original) 見学したいと電話しても出てもらえなかったので、外観だけでもと思って行きました。でも幼稚園の先生にお願いして、伝えてもらい、見学させてもらえました。大谷石の礼拝堂、小川三知のステンドグラス、酒樽の蓋の花台など見られました。創立者の安藤太郎が禁酒するために、文子夫人が酒樽の酒を流し、その蓋を使って花台を作ったそうです。

It is a masonry structure made of Oya stone (partially Komatsu stone) and has a tower for the entrance and exit at the southwest corner. Stained glass is inlaid on the north and south walls, and since Taro Ando, ​​the founder of the church, was the Consul General of Hawaii, the stained glass in the arched window on the south side has letters commemorating the first baptized in Hawaii. is expressed in Japanese and English (Original) 【東京都選定歴史的建造物】「日本基督教団　安藤記念教会会堂」...関東大震災前に竣工してその姿を留めている貴重な教会建築です。 大谷石（一部小松石）の組積造で南西の角に出入口の塔屋を設けています。北と南の壁面にステンドグラスが嵌め込まれてますが教会の創立者、安藤太郎がハワイ総領事であったことから南面のアーチ窓のステンドグラスには布哇（ハワイ）初回受洗者を記念する文字が日本語と英語で表わされています

(Translated by Google) Ando Church is located approximately halfway between Azabu-Juban and Hiroo subway stations, and this time we went up Sendai Hill from the Azabu side and arrived at the church, which is almost at the top, in about 10 minutes.The slope is long, so we went up Golgotha ​​Hill. It was a weekday afternoon, so there were no believers inside the church, but luckily I was able to get permission from the pastor to see the inside.If you would like to tour, please contact us in advance. The church was founded in 1917 as a Protestant church by Mr. Taro Ando.Nyan This person was friends with Ryoma Sakamoto at the naval training center at the end of the Edo period, and later participated in the Hakodate War with Enomoto's fleet. After being defeated, he went to prison and was pardoned. Appreciated by his abilities, he entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and joined the Iwakura Mission, deepening his knowledge of the United States and Europe. Later, he was appointed as Consul General in Honolulu, Hawaii. There, he was inspired by Christianity and the couple began missionary work. Nyan is a heavy drinker. After joining the church, Mr. Taro gave up drinking, and after returning to Japan, he became a leader of the Japan Temperance Movement, and from evangelism to opening an affiliated kindergarten, he devoted all his assets to establishing a church.The exterior has a mysterious Romanesque style. You can feel the warmth without any frills amidst the profound feeling and simplicity.

Beautiful church which was open (without anyone around) and I could pray in... The grotto of Mother Mary in front is also beautiful. Do sign on the logbook just before the entrance to the main church hall to leave your blessings...

Had a great time at mass, the congregation was very welcoming. The church is also very pretty worth visiting.

A rather plain and austere exterior set in small but very green garden surprises with one of the most welcoming churches I’ve ever entered as a practicing Catholic. As soon as you enter the church, a most warm and welcoming feeling envelops one starting with the welcome sign by the door to the lobby as you enter. It helps that the parish priest is all smiles and welcome demeanor too. The chapel itself is simply but beautifully appointed giving off again a warm and welcoming vibe. We also dropped in at the most opportune time because English masses are celebrated here every 3rd Sunday of the month at 2:30pm.

The parishioners are friendly and helpful. It’s a very small church, so do try to come early to get a seat. They have English pamphlets to help you follow along with their Japanese masses.

We went to the Japanese Mass at 10 am on Sunday. With the help of Google translate, we could understand part of the homily which was good. Some parishers were very kind and gave us a pamphlet on the history of the church. There's a stone plate at the back of the church to commemorate the beheading of 28 Japanese martyrs who "did not succumb to the Shogunate's persecution and maintained a pure heart for God".Praise to the Lord!

Very welcoming and involved community. We were welcomed by the priest before the Mass. Service itself was unique experience and it was very heartwarming to see everyone so involved during Holly Mass. Thank you and God Bless You.

A Wonderful Catholic Church located in the heart of Asakusa. Beautiful and Solemn Church open for Prayers and Holy Masses. Took a Small Pilgrim Walk to this Holy Church.

To go to the subway stations from the JR station, you must take the Akasaka exit. If you are changing trains here be careful about that.

This is a train station that serves trains and subways, well-known to be depicted in an anime film called Kimi no Na wa. This place is well-maintained and clean. As usual, a lot of stairs are found here, so don't forget to mind your steps.

The JR Office at this station told my group we needed to book our Shinkansen tickets at the Tokyo station. My experience has been very good with all of the trains and metro and other JR offices, but this one decided they couldn't be bothered to show us they had machines we could easily book our reserve seats at and simply told us to go to Tokyo station.

Yotsuya holds its breath between hills and history — stone walls guard stories of samurai and scholars, while university bells drift above the tracks. Beneath cherry blossoms, time folds into itself; the Marunouchi Line pauses here as if to listen to the city remembering. Tourist Tip: Stop for a peaceful walk in Sotobori Park or the Sophia University area, especially in cherry blossom season.

Yotsuya station has different gates around the station and also across it, on the other side of the road. So in this sense, yes, it can get confusing, especially if you don’t know which side of the station you are in since the train is long and if you happen to be on the “wrong” end compared to where you should be, then you might just get lost by exiting at the wrong gate. Eventually you will figure it out though. Hopefully easily XD

This station is a nice station right in the heart of the city. It does get crowded because of it’s location. Have a few hours to walk around in this area will be great just to look around for little shops and restaurants. Frequently go to this station. I do like the restaurant and bakery located on the main floor.

Speciale about this station is that they got station by Booth which means you can do office work very quickly if your late for work And you can pay with your suica card is inside the station also sings in English to understand where to go

A very warm and welcoming parish community, led by Fr Clifford. I attended the Sat sunset mass here and was grateful for the opportunity to receive Christ during my time in Tokyo. Father also hears confession before mass. I also appreciated the choir who sang beautifully. Father gave a thoughtful homily which not only broke the Word but also got me to reflect. Overall, a spiritual experience.

Stepping into the Franciscan Chapel Center in Roppongi was like discovering a hidden oasis amidst the vibrant, ceaseless energy of Tokyo. I was so incredibly happy to find a place where I could truly find peace and solitude to pray, especially in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Roppongi. The location itself is surprisingly accessible yet feels wonderfully set apart from the commercial clamor. As soon as I entered, a profound sense of calm washed over me. The chapel, while not overly grand, is beautifully maintained and exudes a welcoming, reverent atmosphere. The soft lighting, the quiet hum of serenity, and the sense of devotion from those present all contribute to an environment that truly fosters reflection and prayer. It's a testament to this place that, even in one of the most bustling districts of Tokyo, you can find such genuine tranquility. For anyone seeking a quiet space for spiritual contemplation, whether for Mass or just a moment of personal prayer, the Franciscan Chapel Center is an absolute gem. It's a truly invaluable resource for both locals and visitors alike, offering a much-needed respite from the urban rush. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spiritual anchor in the heart of the city.

A beautiful little Catholic Church in the middle of busy Tokyo! It is not too far from public transit and they have multiple services on the weekend. We went to the vigil mass on Saturday and we found a very clean and welcoming environment. The service we attended was in English. An easily-accessible place to attend mass when you're in Japan!

Chapel with 3 English masses on Sunday at 9,11am 1700. Great community and very friendly people. This was such a privelege to to celebrate Eucharist in Tokyo.

It’s so nice to locate a Catholic church near my hotel…just a few minutes walk! The community is so warm and welcoming. And it’s true that if you want to see a lot of Filipinos in a foreign place, no matter where, go to a Catholic Church on a Sunday!

Attended Sunday evening during the Easter season. Young families, good music, vibrant community, a positive preacher, and welcoming hospitality with a full house. And comfortable pews, deo gratias.

Brought my wife and 3 children to mass on a business trip to Japan. The mass felt like a Disney on Ice performance. It was really strange. I’ve never felt this way about any mass in any country throughout the world. Also, as we entered, some ladies separated my family and a few friends we were with and made us sit in the spot designated for families only. The moment my 4 year old made any sort of noise during mass, I could see and feel the tension of these parishioner ladies who you could tell just wanted us to leave. They then gave in to the pressure and asked us to enter this random kids room where you can watch the mass live while kids run around, play with toys and read books. Very very strange. Then I happened to walk past the priest right after mass and he didn’t even pretend to be nice to us and kind of ignored our ‘good morning’. We went to St Ignatius parish the following Sunday. Some similarities in terms of random lay women taking their volunteer jobs too seriously by instructing us where we can/can’t sit. But at least St Ignatius church stuck to the order of the mass and weren’t interested in a Disney performance.

The pancakes were so dry the crumbled

(Translated by Google) I was thrilled to unexpectedly hear a pipe organ in the middle of Ginza. I was tired from shopping, so the music and conversation in this wonderful space was soothing. The church members were also helpful, teaching at a comfortable distance. There were many other first-timers besides us, which was reassuring. (Original) 銀座の真ん中で思いがけずパイプオルガンが聴けて感激しました。ショッピングなどで疲れていたので、素敵な空間で音楽とお話に癒されました。教会の方々も適度な距離で教えていただいて助かりました。私たちの他に初めての人も多く心強かったです。

(Translated by Google) You can feel free to stop by for the midday service on weekdays (about 30 minutes from 12:15). The big pipe organ is wonderful. Recommended for those who are new to church 😉 (Original) 平日の正午礼拝は【12時15分から約30分位】気軽に立ち寄れますよ。大きなパイプオルガンがステキですよ。教会が初めてな方にオススメです😉

(Translated by Google) It is said to be one of the most prestigious churches in the United Church of Christ in Japan. I arrived in the afternoon, and they rented a small chapel for me. (Original) 日本基督教団でも特に立派な教会だそうです。 お昼すぎに着きましたが、小礼拝堂を借して下さいました。

(Translated by Google) Today was my first time attending a service at this church. There is an entrance when you go up the stairs, and a reception desk when you go inside. At the reception desk, you can receive a weekly report (a program that describes the flow of worship) and a printout of the Bible passages to be read during today's worship. You can get something to read during the service at the reception, and hymns are placed in front of your seats, so I don't think it's a problem if you come empty-handed. Worship begins with a hymn, and everyone in attendance reads the Psalms and the Lord's Prayer, sings a hymn, and reads the Bible. Then, the pastor will preach on today's Bible passage. The flow of the worship service is a typical Protestant church style, so if you attend the service at this church, you will be able to understand what a Protestant church is like. The inside of the synagogue is quite spacious, with seating up to the second floor, making it large enough for many people to attend. In fact, many people attended today's service. I got the impression that the church was large, as it was located in a prime location in Tokyo. Also, there were about 7 people, including myself, who attended the church service for the first time today. It may have been a coincidence, but I got the impression that there were a lot of new visitors. I think this is a church that is easy for people to attend, including those who come from far away to the Ginza area for business. (Original) 本日、初めてこちらの教会の礼拝に参加させていただきました。 階段を上がると入口があり、中に入ると受付があります。 受付で週報（礼拝の流れが書かれたプログラムのようなもの）や本日の礼拝で読む聖書箇所が印刷されたプリント等がもらえます。 礼拝中に読むものは受付でもらえ、讃美歌は座席の前に備え付けられているので、手ぶらでも問題ないかと思います。 讃美歌から礼拝が始まり、詩編や主の祈りを出席者全員で読んだり、讃美歌を歌ったり、聖書を読みます。 そして、牧師先生が本日の聖書箇所を説教します。 礼拝の流れは一般的なプロテスタント教会の形式ですので、こちらの教会の礼拝に参加させていただければ、プロテスタント教会がどういったところかご理解いただけると思います。 会堂内はかなり広く、座席が2階まであり多くの方が出席できる広さとなっています。 実際に、大勢の方々が本日の礼拝に出席されていました。 都内の一等地にある教会だけあって、規模が大きいという印象を受けました。 また、私も含め本日初めてこちらの教会の礼拝に出席された方々が7名ほどおられました。 たまたまかもしれませんが、新しく来られる方が多いという印象を受けました。 遠方から銀座周辺に用事で来られた方など出席しやすい教会なのではないかと思います。

(Translated by Google) Thank you for protecting the Word of God in Japan. I am so grateful to the deacon who guided our family (a family of six with two sons and two daughters) to the chapel and to the beautiful middle-aged female deacon wearing a kimono. I am also very thankful to the young man who took my son to the bathroom during the service. It was a kind and loving church. (Original) 일본에서 하나님의 말씀을 수호해주셔서 감사합니다. 저희가족(아들 둘, 딸 둘을 둔 여섯 가족)을 예배당까지 안내해 주신 집사님과 기모노를 입으신 아름다운 중년 여성 집사님께 너무 감사합니다. 그리고 예배중 우리 아들을 데리고 화장실까지 데려다준 청년께도 너무 감사합니다. 친절하고 사랑넘치는 교회 였습니다.

(Translated by Google) First of all, I should state that I'm not a Christian. So why did I go out of my way to visit a Protestant church? Well, it was for personal reasons. Small churches don't often have a pastor or priest on site, and it's not uncommon for them to be closed, but this one is located in the heart of Ginza, so it's always open. I'm sure that just seeing the Ginza bell next to the entrance would make a believer's heart flutter. Now, going up to the second floor, the small chapel is immediately on the left. Apparently, Sunday school and other classes are held here. The main chapel is on the third floor. Because it's in the heart of Ginza and is part of a building, it feels a little cramped, but it can accommodate about 300 people at full capacity. Currently, seats are spaced out, so the capacity is about half that, around 150 people. That's all I learned from the guide. Because it's so large, a guide will accompany you, so if you have any questions, why not stop by? (Original) まず断っておきたいが、私は非キリスト教徒である。 では何故わざわざプロテスタント教会に足を運んだかと言うと、まあ私用だ。 教会は小規模の物になると牧師や神父が常駐しておらず、閉鎖されていると言う所が珍しくないが、流石に銀座のど真ん中にある位だから常に開放されている。 信徒からすれば入り口横にある銀座の鐘とやらを見ただけでも心は踊るのではないだろうか？ さて、2階に上がると小礼拝堂が早速左手に。どうやら日曜学校等をこちらで開催しているらしい。 3階にいよいよ大礼拝堂がある。 銀座のど真ん中で且つビル建築なので少々狭さを感じるが、定員はフルで300人程収容出来るそうだ。現在は席を開けて座るので半分の150人程であるらしい。 そんな事を案内の人に教えて貰った。この様に規模が大きいので案内の人がちゃんと着いてきてくれるので、色々と聞きたい事があれば訪問してみてはどうだろうか。

Tiny coffee stand with good coffee bean selection. Coffee is delicious, bean available for sale. Small bench at front for 2 people. Good service. Best for grab and go.

Super cool little stand pop-out serving unreal coffee in the city. Must try.

I recommend Hand drip coffee (¥600) or Cappucino (¥650)!

While cafe hopping, I stumbled upon this place. It seems to be a coworking space that would be popular with the local workers in the area. I can say that it would be if it were brought over to where I'm from. You can order your coffee from the side window. It seems like you can sit inside if you ask. I got a latte and it was heavier on the coffee side than the milky side.

Amazing speciality coffee and friendly staff❤️

(Translated by Google) Suidobashi Station on the Toei Mita Line is also served by the JR Sobu Line, and its greatest appeal is its extremely convenient access to major stations in central Tokyo. As it's the closest station to Tokyo Dome, it gets very crowded during events like baseball games and concerts, but is relatively quiet at other times. The area around the station is home to universities, office buildings, and Tokyo Dome City, with plenty of restaurants and shopping facilities. The station is also barrier-free (elevators, etc.), making it easy to use. While the crowds during events can be a bit of a drawback, overall it's a station that's "satisfying" considering its convenience. (Original) 都営三田線の水道橋駅は、JR総武線も乗り入れており、都心主要駅へのアクセスが非常に便利なのが最大の魅力です。 東京ドームの最寄り駅でもあるため、野球やコンサートなどのイベント開催時は大変混雑しますが、それ以外の時間帯は比較的落ち着いています。 ​駅周辺には大学やオフィスビル、そして「東京ドームシティ」もあり、飲食店や商業施設が充実しています。 バリアフリー設備（エレベーターなど）も整っており、利用しやすい駅だと感じています。 イベント時の混雑はネックですが、利便性を考えれば総合的に「満足」できる駅です。
