This place is magical! Every detail has been considered to make the Ghibli Museum fun for both kids and adults. Don't miss the screening for a short film that can only be watched at the museum. Photography is not allowed inside the building but outside is ok. Tickets must be purchased in advance for entry.

The Ghibli Museum was the highlight of my 2-week trip to Japan!! I cannot describe adequately what a fulfilling experience this was. Ticket reservations are required and getting tickets internationally is honestly based on luck when entering the queue at time of them opening. Seems like they split the population of tickets in half between international vs domestic, so if you have a friend/family who lives in Japan and have a Japanese address/phone #, you will have much better luck getting tickets due to availability. As for the museum itself, there are plenty of reviews and videos regarding the exhibitions and highlights. It made me appreciate the Studio Ghibli films even more and how much effort goes into the making of a film due to volume of frames, laying out storyboards, etc. Photos inside the exhibits are prohibited which I also think allows visitors to just be more immersed in the content and visuals that Miyazaki himself had a hand in designing. If you get a chance to go to Ghibli Museum—prioritize this among all the other places and things to do in Japan. Even my husband, who has only seen a couple films so not a full SG “enthusiast”, had a great time at this museum and thought the exhibits were fascinating :)

Loved this place! It really feels like stepping into a Ghibli movie with colorful hallways, spiral stairs, stained glass, and so many tiny details everywhere. The exhibits show how the films are made with sketches and storyboards, and there’s a monthly rotating short film you can only watch here, which makes it extra special. The gift shop has lots of exclusive items like postcards, figures, plushies, and ceramics, it’s definitely worth browsing. I also stopped by the cafe and got a chocolate cake and black tea; the cake was moist, fluffy, and not too sweet. You need to buy tickets in advance (they sell out quickly and aren’t sold at the door), and you can only take photos outside. The rooftop garden with the Castle in the Sky robot is such a lovely space.

This was our third visit (second time during this trip) and there’s something about Ghibli that keeps you coming back. The Boy and The Heron exhibition has been updated from last year which was incredible to see the water coloured art. Make sure to watch the short film, you can also buy the books for 500yen to take home, cash only. They are in Japanese but make for a unique souvenir alongside two books about the museum are on sale for 1000yen that come with a free poster of the Ghibli museum layout, possibly my favourite souvenir which was available in Japanese or English. I have included others at the end. Before you visit pop by Shiroshige’s cream puff factory and enjoy a Totoro cream puff and cat bus rum-raisin sandwich. We like to arrive early to absorb the atmosphere and the snack, equally walking through the park to get to the museum is also very tranquil. You only need 2-3 hours to explore the museum and there is a cafe outside where you can get beverages and food. Lacking on the vegetarian offerings but I knew that going in so it didn’t bother me. Well worth the visit for any fan! Don’t be afraid to explore the area after visiting it has great shops and restaurants.

We visited the museum in the morning slot, and the arrival felt quite charming, even though the neighborhood we walked through beforehand was a bit less clean than expected. The museum itself is surrounded by a pleasant environment and has a cozy atmosphere. Inside, the building feels a bit dated, but the exhibitions were interesting and offered a glimpse into the world of Studio Ghibli. Some areas were mildly interactive, though I felt the museum could benefit from more engaging, hands-on elements – especially considering the theme. The space itself is smaller than I imagined and could definitely be expanded to create a richer experience. A practical note: all descriptions inside were only in Japanese, so non-Japanese speakers might miss some context, and photography or phone use is strictly prohibited. Overall, it’s clearly designed with children in mind. If you’re visiting Tokyo as a group of adults, I would not consider it a must-see, as there are many other attractions in the city that may be more rewarding. Still, it was a unique and memorable experience for any fan of Ghibli.

Five stars feels inadequate for such a magical place. This entire experience was flawless from start to finish. The building itself is beautiful, designed down to the tiniest detail with inspiration, beauty and practicality in mind. The stained glass decorations and windows were wonderful. The staff were all extremely professional, helpful and friendly. Even the uniforms of the staff were tailored with aesthetics and practicality in mind. The exhibits were great, especially the rooms set up like an animator's studio. Beware the gift shop, you can easily go crazy in there, and I did. The café too was clean, well laid out and provided quick delicious meals. It was a religious experience for me but then I am a Ghibli fan and have been looking forward to going for a long time. If you aren't interested in Studio Ghibli then it won't resonate the same...but if you aren't then why are you reading this review?

After 10 years of living in Japan, I finally visited the Ghibli Museum with my friends. We went towards the end of the day, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect given all the hype and praise it receives. As someone who enjoys Ghibli films but isn’t a die-hard fan, I found the experience pleasant but not mind-blowing. The museum is fascinating, especially for those interested in the mechanics of animation; it’s a wonderful place for kids to explore and learn. However, the overall space is smaller than I anticipated. The exclusive short films they screen monthly are fun and creative, but keep in mind there’s no English subtitles, which might be challenging if you don’t understand Japanese. One thing to note, even though photos and videos are strictly prohibited inside the museum, some visitors still break the rules, which can be quite annoying and distracting from the experience. On a positive note, I have to say their bathrooms are surprisingly exquisite and impressive, definitely worth a mention! Overall, it’s a good visit, especially if you’re a fan of Miyazaki’s work or curious about the animation process. Just keep your expectations in check. For a 1,000 yen ticket, it’s definitely worth seeing at least once.

Lovely park, an oasis of tranquility in the midst of a bustling city. We were surprised by how calm and large it is. Beautifully laid out, spotless and numerous activities. The park also contains a small zoo. The lake adds to the overall serenity. You can rent a pedalo, or a rowing boat, to admire the scenery from the water. The train station is very close to an entrance, and the park is free of charge. Afterwards cross the station to find yourself in covered shopping streets. Plenty of shops and restaurants around, including in the train station.

Such a beautiful, tranquil park with a lake in the middle. You can even hire out different boats for half an hour from a dock (row boats, Swan pedal boats) to take across the lake. I took a pedal boats with a friend. This was such a great and fun experience. There are also a few shrines around the park, and a few streets with eateries and shops to look around if you get bored. There's also a playground for little kids. The greenery is also spectacular, especially against the backdrop of the lake. I went during June but the park was still very lush. Highly recommend this spot as a nice break from the busy Tokyo city.

a lake a bird park and a well preserved garden / park that has thick forest many resting and seating area and its near to train station within the park also has many cafe

With around 500 cherry blossom trees and a beautiful pond, Inokashira Park is a great cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. The Ghibli Museum is located near the park.

Nice park in a place where I didn’t even expect it. Dogs, ducks, trees, a lake. It’s really nice.

Super cute park! The leaves were falling from the trees when we visited, which made for a truly magical sight. There is a lake in the middle that you can paddle in or ride a duck boat. Walking paths surrounding it, along with children's play area and bridges along the way. Cafes and restaurants dotted along the path as well. Not so crowded - come for a relaxing time in a beautiful place!

Purposely visited this park because of Persona 5 Royal. It looks the same as the game! The park is also near Studio Ghibli museum. around 5-10 minutes by walking from the nearest station.

Small department store with good bakery and a Serial store (110 yen shop ).

It is a good super Mall. Prices may be getting higher than those in Ito Yokado Musashisakai. Has a 100¥ Seria shop on 5th floor. EPOS credit card outlet is also there on 3rd floor.

delecious

Nice shopping mall located conveniently right in front of the Kichijoji Station (only a few steps walk ahead). It's not too crowded while I visited there on Monday night. Just like any other OIOI (or Marui) they have a wide selection of brands, male and female clothings, bags, jewellery, and accessories as well as my favorite 100 yen shop, Seria. I kind of forget on which floor it was but there's always a helpful store map near the entrance door or escalators so just check it there.

useful to locate between station and park, not so fashion goods for men

There were not many stores, a lot of empty space. There use to be different and nice stores but that changed.

First floor is clean and nice, the rest are dated and need attention. Overall the shops don't offer anything of interest.

Lots of things to find here. And there is a store for each one of them.

Nice shopping mall by the station over several floors, many nice shops inside

Things were available regarding kitchen and other

Elevator and wheel access consistently backed up. It's hard to enjoy a store when you cannot get into it. Even during quiet weekday hours customers ignore signs and ride elevators for wheelchairs, strollers and those with physical ailements. There needs to be staff, especially on weekends. Train access to the Inokashira line is very slow because of this too.

The kind of shopping building attached to many of the larger train stations in Tokyo, this one is typically not overly crowded on its upper floors. Has a big Yuzawaya.

Easy to navigate, good signage and wheelchair accessible. Lift wait isnt too long

Another underground shopping maze; go if you want to feel like a mole. Personally, I hate how disorienting these can be!

Delicious small shop selling some of the best noodles I've ever had. Delightfully chewy noodles and rich sauce. Worth the wait.

Tsukemen was really so yummy. The spicy one had broke my taste barrier. Never tasted such yummy sauce before. Highly recommend eating the spicy one. Meat and noodles portion are generous. Happy to have tasted this before returning to my country.

I came here accidentally after being in the area for another experience and stumbled upon a queue for dipping ramen which I am obsessed so I walked into it I was so surprised how thick with so much umami it had! I ordered the 1200 yen option and picked the popular noodle which was the thick and chewy one. I heard they also have a spicy version but I didn’t want to sweat in addition to hot soup on a summer day. I would say this was so delicious! I came at 10:55 right before opening at 11am and was able to be the first people to enter. There are about 13 seats. You put money into the vending machine first then pick your options. I just did the special dipping ramen at 1200 yen then pick your noodles. I was a little confused at first what to do.

Some of the best tsukemen in Tokyo. The broth is very flavorful and the noodles are delicious. I ordered the tsukemen with all of the toppings. It features chashu pork, ramen egg, menma and a piece of nori on top of the noodles. Everything was perfect. The amount of care that goes into it is amazing: the noodles are even resting on a slotted platform inside of the bowl to drain out any extra water from boiling. And for only 1200 yen it’s an incredible deal. Also good to know: When you run out of soup or it gets cold you can ask for them to add a bit more soup. When you’re done with your noodles there’s a light broth you can pour I yourself to make it a lighter soup to drink at the end of the meal.

soooo good! we were allowed to choose from three different noodles, and i got the soba. there is only one type of broth and you can choose to have it spicy. the dipping broth is very rich and tasty, and it isn't heavy. i got the spicy set with extra slices of meat and the egg, and i think it was worth the upgrade! the spice level is not mild like other places and it made me sweat as i kept eating 😆 they also have a pitcher with some broth/soup in it to dilute the dipping broth when youre out of noodles, and it makes it taste so good to drink on its own (very salty otherwise). they also have options for extra toppings on their ticket machine, but it's all in japanese so i suggest just translating it with your phone if you can't understand. they only have counter seats and doesn't seat a lot of people, so i think it's better to get there ahead of time to avoid the line. there were mostly locals asides us, so i think it's pretty popular! staff were also very friendly! would come back again :)

Very nice and thick broth that’s very tasty! It’s shocking that this is a vegetarian broth. Even though it’s thick and rich, it’s not as heavy as other meat based thick broth. This is very palatable and you are able to eat more! The noodles are super chewy and springy, you are also able to choose 3 different types of noodles. The mochi mochi one is what we got and I love it! There will always be a queue but it moves pretty quick. I will definitely eat this again!

Solid tsukemen. Worth the wait. You'll see a line down this long hallway. Before you get in line walk right inside and place your order on the vending machine. Cash only. There's some English signage to help you but you literally can't pick wrong. Once you get your ticket then go back outside and wait in line. If you're by yourself you'll probably sit faster. Try adding vinegar to your noodles. This isn't a place to eat and chat. You eat, you finish, you leave.

The fish broth is tasty and quite unique. They have a good variety of choices and every time I discover something new I like. The service is quick and the location convenient. Overall, they serve pretty good tsukemen

Perfect portion….. I ordered spicy tsukemen with extra extra noodle (it was free. ) Plus fried pork belly ! The pork belly was super good. I want to take out pork belly only next time lol that was sooooo good

The shrimp based tsukemen limited season item was great. The broth was not too salty and you can specify to get hot noodles.

It was alright. Nothing out of this world, but the fact that it had karaage included was interesting. The amount of noodles was quite big.

Used to like it, but somehow disappointed by this shop. Was ok but not so good, broth lacked some umami.

(Translated by Google) A ramen shop with a beautiful interior that is easy to enter. I bought a meal ticket and sat down. It wasn't very crowded. The cold sea bream salt tsukemen was a little different. Unfortunately, the rich tsukemen was also average. The Chinese noodles were Chinese or more like Japanese style, and the bonito flakes were effective and tasty, but they weren't Chinese noodles. I understand the idea behind it, but I can't say I want to eat there again. The noodles were very delicious. (Original) 綺麗なインテリアで入りやすいラーメン屋さん。食券を買って座ります。余り混んでいない。冷鯛塩つけ麺はちょっと違ったかなぁ～。濃厚つけ麺も、残念ながら普通レベル。中華そばは、中華と言うか和風、鰹節が効いてて美味しいけど中華そばではない。アイディアの気持ちは分かるけど、又食べたいとは言えない。麺はとても美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's located on Inokashira Street, near the south exit of Kichijoji Station, in front of Marui. Until a few years ago, this was where Fuji Soba was located, but since it moved here, it has become brighter and more stylish. This was my first time at this restaurant. It's been about 10 years since I last visited Mita Seimen. Back when I used to work in Nishi-Shinjuku, I'd eat there at least once a week. It was dinnertime in Kichijoji, packed with people viewing the cherry blossoms at Inokashira Park, but the restaurant was empty, so I popped in. Their tsukemen starts at 930 yen. Ten years ago, it was about 100 yen cheaper, but with prices rising, it seems like the price hasn't changed much. The price remains the same, even up to the extra-large portion. Since it was dinnertime, I opted for the thick tsukemen with the largest portion, for 1,460 yen. I waited about 15 minutes, which seemed like a long time, but when I ate here at lunchtime, they would boil the noodles in advance, but now they probably only boil them after the order is placed. It had everything I was expecting, but when it arrived there was only one piece of pork as a topping, a seasoned egg that was too dark, and boiled bean sprouts. There wasn't much noodles for a large serving, so it was a bit disappointing considering the price difference. The broth was certainly rich and delicious. I think the noodles were like this, but the recipe seems quite different from 10 years ago. It was delicious, but different from what I remembered. The noodles took up most of the rich broth, so there wasn't much left, but I added some diluted soup. It was more like a dashi soup than a diluted soup. I wonder what kind of broth it was, it was so delicious it seemed artificial. Overall it was delicious, but I guess my memories were just too fond of it. (Original) 吉祥寺駅南口、丸井の前あたりに井の頭通りに面してある。数年前までは富士そばがあった場所、こちらに変わってから明るくオシャレな感じになった。 こちらのお店は初めて。三田製麺そのものが10年ぶりくらい。かつて西新宿に職場があった頃は週1は必ず食べていたのに。 井の頭公園の花見客でごった返す吉祥寺で、夕食時だったが空いていたので入店させてもらった。 つけ麺が930円〜とのこと。10年前は100円くらい安かったかな、でもこの物価高の中では変わらない方かしら。大盛りまで同じ料金なのは変わらない。今日は夕食だということもあり、一番載せの濃厚つけ麺1460円を選択。 待つこと15分くらいだろうか、なかなか時間がかかると思ったが、お昼に食べていた頃は見込みでどんどん湯掻いていたわけで、今はオーダーされてから茹で始めているということだろう。 期待の全部載せ、しかし届いてみるとトッピングのチャーシュー1枚、あとは濃すぎる色の味玉と、茹でもやし。麺は大盛りの割には多くないし、値段差の割にちょっと期待外れかも。 出汁は確かに濃いし美味い。麺はこんなだったかな、10年前とはレシピがだいぶ違う気がする。美味しいけど、思い出とは違った。 濃厚出汁は麺に持って行かれてあまり残らなかったけど、割スープを足させてもらった。割スープというより出汁スープ。なんの出汁だろう、美味すぎるから化調っぽい。 総じて美味かったけど、思い出が美しすぎたんだろうなぁ。

I’ve been coming to this spot for the past 10 years, I liked that is located in the park, the food is fine and that is dog friendly. However I will not be coming here anymore. The past few times I visited the service was horrible, it is noticeable how rude the staff is. It is definitely not something about one particular staff but rather something present among all of them. I wonder if they have just become a racist establishment. It’s such a shame, specially from a staple spot from the park. Perhaps this will help the management into taking action.

Took our dog here for a relaxing late lunch but there was still a queue. We waited for about 15-20 minutes which was okay. Staff was friendly and welcoming. They very swiftly offered water to our dog. We ordered a simple sweet crepe with ice-cream, raspberry sauce and chocolate chips. The crepe had a nice rich taste of egg. The raspberry sauce was not too overpowering. The experience was pleasant and we will visit again.

The park is lovely, but this cafe is not worth it. Visiting here really ruined my day. If you love nature and fresh air, DO NOT choose this place. The air in this cafe became really bad when the kitchen started to cook and the air did not become better during my whole visit. And the place is so limited. Also, they required each person to order one dessert and one drink, but it’s very funny that they dare not putting this fact clearly on their menu. Staff were very hard to communicate, despite the fact that this cafe is actually targeting tourists. If you care about your experience, re-consider before you walk in.

In the middle of the park, there is this beautiful cafe and it is very cozy. I'm really feeling like Bunny House. Staff will be kind and nice. Only ordering coffee is ok. But here food looks good too.

Cozy little place with vintage furniture, decoration and style. Located in Inokashira Park, it’s a good choice for those visiting it or Ghibli Museum. I tried their Montana dry curry mini salad set for ¥1,000, consisting on rice covered a dry curry with meat and a fried egg, with a side salad. The taste was really good and it was interesting to try a dry curry, with no liquid sauce. After every customer left, the staff (wearing masks all the time) thoroughly cleaned the table and everything on it with hydro-alcohol as a caution for COVID-19. Staff was friendly, fast, kind and professional. You can pay with your credit card from ¥3,000.

Located within Inokashira Park. It is more on the pricy side but the food is good. The menu is rather limited but you’ll be able to find something you’d like to eat, hopefully. You will be served with a teapot for brewing tea if you order hot tea, but the serving amounts to only one cup.

Really good food. It does hide a little bit from view due to the trees from the park. Menu may seem a bit pricey, but definitely worth it for the taste. We got two types of curry and raspberry crepe with vanilla ice cream and they were all delicious! I would recommend the original curry as is thicker and better flavor compared with the black curry, but both are good nonetheless.

Delicious course with strong flavors in each dish. I have, however, had better bread at less expensive locations. Wonderful atmosphere sitting at the terrace overlooking bamboo groves and the edge of a nearby park. Service was flawless, but the restaurant was mostly vacant. Overall very pleased.

We selected the course menu to celebrate a special occasion, and two of the courses featured a tart smaller than a ¥100 coin and three tortellini. The portion sizes did not improve as the meal progressed and the food was woefully under-seasoned. Save your time and money by eating elsewhere.

Beautiful food and beautiful flavors! I was especially impressed by the carbonara and dessert. Staff were super nice as well! Thank you for the wonderful service. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends!

Really a flawless meal in the classical Italian style. Perfect for a low key but fancy birthday lunch. Not overpriced for the quality, looking forward to coming back again.

The staff is very kind and ready to help you, food is delicious, the restaurant is really wide and clean! Nice location, too.

Very good

Busy Italian eatery with quality food, bordering Inokashira park. Polite, enthusiastic service, but a little slow for the food to arrive.

This temple is not only a place for devotion . It also have some green parts all around the temple complex which is great from end of April. You can sit down on a bench near a carved Buddha on a rock, dwelling on a cave where believers comes to address some prayers. There is also a botanical park nearby which I not yet been. My main interest was to see around the remain of a Uesugi fortress nearby which I fail as it was late and too crowded. You can go there by bicycle from Kichijoji or Mitaka station BTW if you can and also by bus, a 20-30 min ride. There is also a lot soba (buckwheat noodles) restaurant with long lines if you happen to be there on a sunny day during Golden week in early May. I guess it’s one delicacy as it seems very popular. This place is worth seeing if you are looking for something that looks like traditional and historical.

I came to area to visit temple and look at flowers in the botanical garden. I went on Monday which was a poor idea as the botanical garden rests on Monday. But for the temple, it was fully open with lots to see. In the back was shrine with ceremonies commencing, lots of flowers and trees were in full bloom, and the entrance to the temple was filled with lots of stores selling tasty snacks like shaved ice, and fried mochi. The temple was quite nice and quiet, a great place to relax and enjoy nature. Next time I will have to visit on a Tuesday or Thursday in order to visit the garden. Next time

Large temple complex with interesting elements if you’re interested in Japanese religions. It’s connected to the nearby Jindai botanical gardens and they can be enjoyed together. Many souvenirs shops and restaurants outside the temple. It’s quite far from the nearby train station but there’s quite frequently a bus.

Such a beautiful and historically significant Temple. The grounds are so beautiful with the botanical garden being adjacent. There's also good food that is both delicious and affordable out around the area. There are free maps with historical information for those who are interested.

A wonderful place becoming more popular with the tourist so not as tranquil as I would have imagined but still great place to spend a few hours.

Live it so much to be here. Peaceful place when still morning. Quite a lot of Japanese locals. So many soba-ya. You can also join a Buddhist prayer over here. Cost ¥3000.

Wonderful temple and grounds and as far away as imaginable from urban Tokyo. Just relax walking round and take in the carefree vibe.

This zoo is great! There is a lot to see and do with the sculpture garden and history museum areas as well as a number of areas with animals. What I like about this one is it was very open and animals weren't squished into tiny pens like we have seen before (at Ueno Zoo for example). There is also a second area across the bridge to see the water birds and to walk through more of the area. It's very beautiful and nice for a relaxing day wandering around.

Lovely local zoo with both land and aquatic sections. Squirrel habitat is adorable! We spent a couple of hours there enjoying both sides of the zoo, and it's an easy walk to the Ghibli Museum.

Beautiful little park and zoo. Like an oasis in the middle of the city. Not Tokyo. But Kichijoji. More like a town vibe. There are two parts to the zoo on either side of the road. They even have some larger mammals like an elephant. Although I haven’t seen the elephant. But most animals are badgers or squirrels. Very cute. You can enter the squirrel cage and absence them closely.

Nice place for kids. Convenient in terms of transportation and price. You can take bus from Kunitachi station, Chofu station or Mitaka station and get down right in front of the zoo. Perfect for a day out!

It’s a great place to take a walk and enjoy the quiet time in summer.

I can't stress enough how beautiful this park is during cherry blossoms season late March and early April, I came during early April 2022, and the flowers were beginning wilt and were falling off. I recommend in late March. The experience was once in a life time especially for those not coming back to Japan anytime soon. One of the most memorable experiences in Japan.

A nice small zoo, good for about an hour or so with the kids. Children up to 12 go I'm for free and adults are only 400 ¥ so it's inexpensive addition to a walk in the park. Don't miss the squirrel trail.

Famous place with a long line but the line moves quickly. Good flavours. Got the minced beef and croquette. Croquette was okay. The beef cutlet on a stick was sold out so I can only assume that it’s really good.

Knowing that their deep fried beef cake is very famous, so buy one and tried it. Tastes very good and lot of onions, so juicy and yummy. They're also selling frozen hamburg, and fresh beef hamburger.

If you're a fan of minced beef, this shop near JR Kichijoji station is an absolute must-visit! The quality of the beef is exceptional - it's tender, flavorful, and incredibly juicy. Each bite is a burst of rich, meaty goodness.Price-wise, it's reasonable for the quality you're getting. You're definitely getting your money's worth in terms of taste and portion size.

yummt menchi katsu and croquettes! Do visit if you love snacks like these. We bought a few back to our hotel and used our hotel’s microwave to heat them up for our supper. Delicious!

Don’t be turned away by the queue - it moves fast!! These croquette meat balls were amazingly juicy, crunchy, and flavorful! It was packed with filling, and there was a nice balance between the meat and onions. A must-try if you’re at kichijoji! 😍

Steakhouse Satou Here’s my review from December 2019: We just arrived at JR Kichijoji Station, and we’re hungry. Three months ago, we saw this place had a long line — about 30 people or so. Long lines mean good food. We had to come back (we were stuffed with tendon back then anyway). 5pm-ish. No lines. We’re early. Good; we get the best seats in the house — right in front of the teppanyaki grill. The shop is small, with only about 16 seats, of which 6 are by the grill. Ten minutes after we ordered, the plates arrive. Perfect medium rare. ... ...... The steak is ridiculously tender. It only needs a tender chew before you get the richness of the beef. It has a very clean taste. So good! The seasoning is spot on; salt is balanced that you can eat it on its own, or paired nicely with rice. The vegetables are incredible, too! The carrots are cooked tender and very sweet (I even thought these were sweeter than most mangoes). Bean sprouts, mushrooms, and beans — all very fresh, and grilled just right to loosen the vegetable a bit. It’s one of the best steaks we’ve ever had. Suggestion: Get the ¥10,000 steak. It’s pricey, but worth every single penny.

Note: this review is for the Satou steakhouse above the butchery/mince-takeaway : The B E S T steakhouse in the world with the best beef in the world cooked in the best style in the world. (2023 update : slightly surpassed by Steak Yoshiike in Hakone in terms of price as quality of meat and cooking for both is a tie - see my other review) Serves matsuzaka beef with the perfect accompaniment of sides. Take the dinner menu with the special matsuzaka beef options, not the standard lunch menu which serves a lower grade cut. I have tried US, Australian, Irish, Argentinian, NZ, etc, and no other beef comes close. I daresay i like matsuzaka better than kobe beef. A friend who is the ultimate beef lover i know said it is the best steak he has ever tasted in 2016 and still the best in Jul 2019 when we ate there again. After eating here, there is no point eating any other kinds of steak in any other country. We loved it so much, we tried their tsukiji branch and had their dinner menu at lunchtime. Verdict : both the same beef quality, same skill, but pricing in Kichijoji is cheaper on the weekends (¥8k vls ¥10k weekdays) for a sirloin cut (tsukiji branch is a full course meal for dinner option hence the substantial price differential and they dont serve garlic chips like Kichijoji branch).

This place was made on a small plot of land, which is made for regular houses/shops, so the place wasn't too big. However, this is a whimsical place to stop at, which is great if you are coming from the nearby ghibli museum. There are a few shops there that sell accessories, jewelry, and two cafes : one normal cafe and a cat cafe. Some of the accessories are expensive, but definitely one of a kind. I did not enter the cat cafe, but the normal cafe was enjoyable. it was a cafe price, so it was about $20/pax, and the servings were not big, but the food was quite tasty. Great for people who want a quick lunch before heading off to their next location.

very cute , there are warnings for the cats which are a little less friendly and informative sheet telling you which cats are allowed each treats. for only ¥200 you can get a tub of treats (*^ω^*) the cats on the second floor seem to prefer quiet and they will often hide away up there so it’s best to stay downstairs if you enjoy the energetic cats. the mochi mochi catdog was delicious and very unique !

Fantastic experience at the outdoor café with a cider drink and “wobbly” jelly that make a perfect combination. The service was very attentive and special, and the setting was beautiful. Inside the “park”, we were captivated by the imagination of those who designed the buildings and the outdoor space. However, it’s worth noting that in the indoor café, there was no care for the customers, and the approach was rather rude.

We explored Kichijõji on our first day in Tokyo. Being so warm still it was lovely to have a space to relax, not feel rushed and enjoy all the cat company. The little stores in the complex were great! Lots of support for small business. If you’re a cat person, it’s a must. So obvious the staff care about the cats, we enjoyed it and it didn’t feel forced.

Very cute atmosphere. You get 2 levels of cats. We came in the afternoon and half of the cats were asleep. A few of them had very cute outfits.

Super cool. And we will be back. Not everything was open when we visited but that did not stop us from enjoying it immensely. The cafe is super cute and the food tasty, the prices reasonable.

Such an adorable place. It's small but everything fit so well together. Really cute design. I suggest leaving big bags at home because the souvenir shop on the 2nd floor and even the cafe is a bit of a tight squeeze. You can go in to take pictures and just leave but I do recommend staying for some hot tea and snacks. They have interesting flavors.

The staircase is narrow, so be careful if you have mobility issues. You can watch the food being prepared, which is a nice touch. Tried the Wagyu set — truly excellent, very high quality.

10/10 2nd time I came here and the steaks are just as good. The premium cuts are more fatty but regular Wagyu are pretty good too. 150g is enough for 1 for the lunch portion but definitely come a bit before they open as there'll be a line and you'll be waiting around 30minutes to an hour.

Amazing and cozy steak place close to the Kichijoji station. A must try if you are in the area.

Good quality Japanese steak house. Fresh cooked and you can enjoy watching your food preparation. Seating area are small and located on second floor. You have to climb to the restaurant so if you cannot move well please be careful. Ventilation is not quite good so you may got some grilled smell after your meal. English menu and communication with staffs are ok. Credit card is ok.

The beef is so juicy and delicious. The spice is tend to be on the mild side, so.it taste light.

Short and sweet, I like it. Yes, I ordered takeout, but opened it and gunned down with it in less than 2 minutes. Say that I was a bit hungry, but yet good is good. No? John, my son, all in the sudden, dragged me here to join the line, which however moved very fast. I shall return.

This is very popular butcher near Kichijoji station. They are selling different parts of fresh and ready-made meats. I got chuncky roasted pork（焼豚） and fried meatball(メンチカツ）which is their speciality and 250 yen for one piece. This is very fresh,crunchy and juicy one!!

Talk Back is a bistro on Nakamich in Kichijoji. It serves delicious European cuisine. It has a good atmosphere with a European feel to it. There is an assortment of dishes: fish, beef, pork, pate, pasta, etc. and some very nice salads. Their European wines are quite good. The staff is friendly and helpful. One thing I didn't like was the long tables where you can be seated beside strangers. But if you're not put off by that, then give it a try. The food, though a bit pricy, is great.

We turned up without a reservation at lunch, I didn’t think we’d get in as it was very busy but we were seated after 5 minutes wait. The lady ‘welcoming’ us wasn’t friendly, don’t expect a smile from her but the table staff inside were very attentive and nice. We ordered 4 different lunch sets, all was tasty and the food came quickly, almost too quickly as we felt a little rushed at the beginning but it settled down. It’s a busy restaurant, the atmosphere isn’t great tbh but the staff are working hard. I would use again, we were happy with our lunch.

Very young and welcoming atmosphere, The food was perfect and very well cooked. Seriously underrated on Google maps and very happy we decided to eat here. Will be coming back to try the dinner menu. Lunch menu 1000-2000Y pp

Waited from 11:10am to 11:30am (their stated opening time) with a party of two. It was a hot day, so one of us went to grab a drink. I was told I couldn’t enter until my friend arrived. To enter the restaurant, you have to walk down a short flight of stairs, but I was repeatedly asked to wait at the top. Meanwhile, local patrons were allowed to walk straight in without waiting for any staff instructions. I followed what I was told, but others clearly didn’t have to—it felt like double standards. When my friend returned, she was told the same thing—just 30 seconds before another couple walked in freely, again without any instruction. The waitress repeated the same message to us , but we were just behind the couple. It was confusing and frustrating, especially since the restaurant wasn’t full. We decided to leave.. Was looking forward to try their omu rice but not foreigner friendly, not recommended

This is a smashing restaurant- I can't recommend it highly enough. The food is excellent, the staff service is very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere wonderful. So far all the Delois I have eaten here is excellent so don't get stuck one one dish!

You haven't enjoyed a good porcini pasta until had it here. Out of this world, man! The ambience and the open kitchen and the clientele and the décor... Oh hell I could just go on and on. Why don't you just come and check it out for yourself.

There’s some form of discrimination against foreigners. Waitress starts seating locals before and after us. Even when inside was empty, she wasn’t sitting us in. She looked frustrated and as continued trailing off in Japanese …

Had a late lunch with family walking towards the station. Not bad at all. Tried 3 flavours of the ribs, surprisingly salt & pepper was my favourite. The thickest and most tender pork spare ribs from a western restaurant I have tried.

The food is not good. Noddle is not fully cooked and is too salty. They recooked the noodles but is still hard to eat and this time it has no favorite. The meat is too fat. We order a set menu, which didn’t say it change by person. The final price comes out really high. We ending up paying 45$. It was very expensive. They have English menu. The English menu is shorter than the Japanese one. We don’t know Japanese so we don’t know the difference there. The price is very surprise us.

We came for lunch on a weekend without reservation. There is sufficient seating at the second floor. Our food took a while to come. Even though we ordered the same Mentaiko pasta with the person next to us, we received it 10 mins after them despite having arrived much earlier. The risotto was nice. Nothing fanciful. The food was OK! The staffs can only speak Japanese.

Good taste esp. ribs and apple crumble

Delicious Apple a la mode with Cinnamon topping. Have other options too. Perfect with coffee and tea. Fast and friendly

My favorite dating restaurant ❤️❤️❤️

Seating is limited to one hour if you’re only here for dessert.

We sometimes go to this burger restaurant when we are in Kichijoji. Their burgers are quite flavourful and of good quality among the burger restaurants in the area. I added cheese to the normal burger and went with some fried potatoes. What I liked about their fried potatoes was that they were made of real potatoes. Good texture and appropriately seasoned. There were many drinks on the menu as well.

Burger place not far from Kichijoji station. I saw the same shop in Shimo Kitazawe as well. People here are really nice. Unfortunately the burger didn’t really do it for me. The bacon was hardly cooked and the raw onion was almost as big a the bun. Quality was fine. Don’t get me wrong. But it‘s just not my kind of burger. I prefer smash. This one was the opposite of a minimalist smash burger.

I love the interior feel of this place. They attempt to re-create a Western diner with Americana pieces, which sometimes feels a little cheesy, but I think it's endearing. Overall, still feels warm/inviting. The burger itself was good and massive, but for some reason doesn't still capture an American burger exactly the same way. I think the price was also a little steep too. But still worth coming back!

There was a queue all the way to the street but I could a get counter seat quickly, being alone. I got the avocado cheese single burger. I felt it was a good quality burger with subtle taste. There is no secret sauce or strong-taste patty but the ingredients come out well together without any being overwhelming. The potatoes push the subtlety a bit too far though and were rather bland, I had to add salt. The portion was rather small for the 2,020 yen price tag, I didn't really feel full. Edit: on my second visit, I tried the chili cheese burger which was more enjoyable, tasty and juicy, yet even more expensive, it could be 5 stars if it was a better value.

The restaurant itself is nice and the atmosphere is great but... The burgers were nothing great. I got the cheddar pepper which is their number one item, it was kind of bland. They had good waffle fries though. Definitely worth checking out at least once if youre in the Kichijouji area but in my experience it's just meh.

If you love street food with a unique concept, this place is for you. The menu is not for the fragile bellies as the sandwiches are really tasty and BIG (highly recommended for big eaters) It's better to take it on the go, but you can also eat inside with a particular setting: wall brick stairs (no tables). They were short on some stock, so better to come between noon and 1pm.

Nice burger, fast service, friendly staff, a bit pricey. The burger came with a very tasty set of fried quarter potatoes. The bacon came in thick slices. When we visited, lunch menu was not available. Definitely recommended if you crave for a decent burger, but to me the cheddar & pepper was just okay. The place is not super large, but can accomodate around 8 tables.

Very informative experience. My wife who is an architect loved our trip here even though it was far from where we are staying in Tokyo. I am not sure if these are replicas or relocated reconstructions because the quality is insane if it is replicas. We spent 3 hours exploring and would have probably done more if we had the time.

This was probably one of my most favorite things in Tokyo. The museum was so fascinating and there was a ton of information about each building available in English. We learned so much about the Edo period and the various types of buildings in Japan at that time. The space for the museum is also beautiful. The museum itself is a bit far away from the main Tokyo city center but well worth the subway ride and it was a really lovely break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

Really lovely place to visit, would definitely recommend. We went on a tea ceremony event day, however all the same-day tickets were sold out by the time we got there, and you couldn't do advance reservation for the english speaking ones. Despite that, it was still a nice place to wander and learn about historic architecture. I walk past this museum a lot, so I'm glad I finally got to go inside! There are places in the museum serving food, which is helpful, but although they are good, I would reccomend eating beforehand, as they are very expensive...

A wonderful outside museum worth spending half a day exploring slowly. It’s not only photogenic but also a great place to learn about Japanese culture and history. Today I learned how to wrap with furoshiki here. The outdoor area is lush and peaceful, with many people sketching under the trees — such a charming cultural atmosphere.

This was a very enjoyable trip and I’d highly recommend it. It was a 400¥ for entry and you receive a map and cute ticket. The grounds and houses were really enjoyable and you could easily spend a whole day and enjoy a picnic there. I’d return!

This museum is truly amazing! I came here on a weekday, and it wasn’t too crowded. The areas are clearly labeled and easy to understand, and I could even explore inside the buildings. They also have a seasonal stamp collection for your booklet, which is super kute 🥰 Absolutely loved it!

I had wanted to see some old farm houses on our visit to Japan and this place did not disappoint. Lovely afternoon out and also some nice items in the gift store. I only had 2 hours here and I wish I had just a bit more time to see inside all the buildings. Highly recommend.

Fantastic local park, which has a more open aspect than most parks of a similar size. There is a good running route around the perimeter (mixed surface of tarmac and bark). Three public toilets and lots of good places for kids.

this park is very huge flat land, formerly was an airstrip used by US during occupation period. hardly to find a piece of flat surface carpeted by lushly green grass, at far end corner has 2 base ball grounds, kids and families cheerfully play there in every weekend. Also, groups of people like to fly kites and paper planes. an informal running trail surrounding the grass field, which mostly covered by tree shadow, it feels comfortable to run a few laps. surely this park is a sources offering healthy good life. please, fine to enjoy it.

This is a quite large park in northern Musashino City. On the edges of the park there are some trees and picnic tables which are great for taking a break sometime during the day. The center of the park is a large open field where people might play soccer or throw a frisbee or run around. Because there is so much open space without trees, this park is ideal in the spring and fall or on cool summer days. During the very hot summer months, you have to think carefully about getting enough sun protection if you're going to hang out here. There is no convenient nearby parking, so this park is ideal for people within walking or bicycle distance, and less desirable if you live farther away.

Very spacious, which is difficult to find, but the grass quality is quite low.

A beautiful and spacious park in Musashino City. There are also several convenience stores nearby. Families and friends gather on weekends and enjoy playing sports, having picnics and barbeques, and etc. Awesome place to go on sunny days.

A lovely, spacious and relaxing park. A good alternative to some of the busier parks in Musashino City.

Simple but great park bbq, tennis and sporting options. Also great for exercising, dogs and relaxing

Awesome shopping mall that has a free play area for all the little kids. My little one had a lovely time at the play area and the nursing room in the mall was extremely clean and pleasant. Would definetly visit Coppice again for my next trip to Kichijoji.

Wonderful selection of shops from high brands to specialised stuff. I like the bookshop and kaldi, but my daughter likes the floor dedicated to cute girly stuff. My wife like the terrace and clothes. Also has a new game centre

There are many shops in this multi story shopping building. Most of the are not notable, so browse them if you are in the area but don't bother a trip down if you aren't. The only exception is Kaldi Coffee, which is a chain import food shop, amd this branch is the biggest in Musashino. For local residents who want foreign groceries, this is the place to go.

Interesting mix of stores, catering to a wide variety of needs. The stores I shopped in were well organised and had what I was looking for.

『らすぷーる』 老舗の洋食屋✨らすぷーるオムレツは不思議な食感だけどめっちゃ美味しくて癖になります(≧▽≦) 茄子と豚の生姜焼きは生姜と甘めのタレのマッチングが最高✨✨ご飯がススミます(≧∇≦)b

Nice assortment of clothes and furniture. quiet. 🌱 Level 3 has a very cute character stickers and merch store (=^･ｪ･^=)U

Seems like a very nice small, though we only visited a few stores. Japanese pronunciation of "coppice" was quite confusing, as three syllables. When my wife told me to do some research on it, I had no idea what I was looking for and could not find it. Try KO P say in Japanese.

A solitary commune with your bowl of Ramen! Now that’s how ICHIRAN was recommended and it remains a fairly unique dining experience and outstanding flavors! And spoiler alert you will also be part of ensuring the Ramen you get will be pretty unique! Definitely a not to be missed experience! You can do this entire experience without speaking a word and hence only commune with that wonderful warm bowl of ramen! Enjoy!

4th Sept 2025 7pm Line up to go inside and order from the vending machine that has few language to select After payment there is a note for you to choose the soup base taste, saltiness, condiments and spiciness as well as the tenderness of the noodle I choose the leas flavour & less saltiness just as i like the service was fast and you don’t get to see any service or chef behind the bamboo curtain you may make comment or order extra more if you wish

Lined up down a set of stairs for about 20 minutes, which at first felt like a test of patience, but the wait moved surprisingly fast. Once inside, the whole experience felt unique...almost like stepping into a ramen ritual. You order from a machine, fill out a sheet circling your preferences (broth richness, noodle firmness, spice) & then sit in your own little cubicle where the ramen magically appears through a curtain. The tonkotsu broth was rich & delicious, the noodles perfectly cooked & the whole set-up made it easy to just focus on the food. It’s fun, quirky & very different from any ramen shop back home. Docking one star only because the price is a bit higher than some equally good ramen I’ve had elsewhere in Tokyo. Still, for the experience & quality, it’s absolutely worth trying at least once.

happy to eat yummy yummy ramen here. love the setup its also very neurodivergent friendly bc u dont need to talk to anyone and you can just give them wooden blocks that indicate your requests and such

Rich broth and al dente ramen. Didn’t have to queue long if not for a big group of students who were in front of us. But the turnover of the diners are fast. This outlet only accept cash so come prepared. Operating hr is 24hr on Sat and Sun and 10am to 6am on other days.

Ordering is through a machine- you select buttons for the ramen you want and additional toppings; insert cash and get the tickets. Then you go inside , find a seat and give the tickets to staff through a window. Once seated, you get to select the softness of the ramen and the amount of spice you want. Ramen broth was rich, creamy and delicious. People eat their ramen and leave. This is not a place for socializing. Very affordable.

It’s definitely something to try at least once. I highly recommend for tourists, particularly if you’re traveling without children. It has a very cool and mysterious vibe when you walk in and your waitress greets you from behind a wall. It’s something I’ve never experienced before and honestly, kind of cool!! It’s almost like an anonymous ramen bar. They have instructions on English and draft beer! Overall I enjoyed the experience and food!

It was a pleasant journey for a quick stop at 吉祥寺。Heichinro was a famous brand in Hong Kong and worth to enjoy lunch or dinner here! The internal fitout give you a touch of heritage feels. The window lookout is nice and calm. Quiet and good service!

Have you ever seen the Chinese luxury ingredients before it gets cooked? The cuisine they serve are promising, but you can also enjoy the display of Chinese specialty. Don't forget to check out their wine cellar.

Real expensive Chinese restaurant kind who still serving shark fin. Don't know if it would be controversial from protecting environment view point though.

(Translated by Google) Ordered a lunch course on a weekday in December. It was an online reservation. When making a reservation, you can choose between a private room or a regular seat. Tenshin was very delicious. The other dishes are also delicious and usually delicious. (This is a compliment because I think it's usually delicious and difficult to find.) The prices are reasonable, so it's a restaurant you'll want to use for a special lunch. The entire store feels old, but the hospitality is solid. (Original) 12月の平日にランチコース注文。ネット予約でした。予約時に個室か普通席か選べる。天心がすごく美味しかった。その他も手が混んでいて普通に美味しい。（普通に美味しいて難しいと思うので褒め言葉です）値段はまーまーするので、特別ランチに利用したいお店です。お店全体は古びた感じがありますが、ホスピタリティはしっかりしています。

(Translated by Google) I visited on a Friday around 6pm, and although it wasn't a private room, the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. This time, we ordered the recommended summer-only "Summer Vacation Special Course" for ¥8,800, and the a la carte "Sugata Shark Fin". I was very satisfied with the volume of each dish, the careful presentation, and the taste. If you want to enjoy high-class Chinese food in Kichijoji, this is the place. I was seated on the second floor, but the signal was poor, so be careful. (Original) 金曜の18時頃伺いましたが、個室じゃないのに落ち着いた雰囲気で、ゆったり寛げました。 今回はおすすめされた夏季限定の『夏休みスペシャルコース』¥8800 と、アラカルトで『姿フカヒレ』をオーダー。 一品のボリューム感、丁寧な盛り付け、そして味に大満足でした。 吉祥寺で高級中華を楽しみたいならここですね。 2階の席でしたが電波が悪いのでご注意を。

(Translated by Google) “Precious authentic Chinese food in this area” P.S.) We had dinner in a private room. Although I had children with me, I was able to enjoy it without any worries. We enjoyed delicious Chinese food with a course menu centered on seafood. The Shaoxing wine was also delicious. Perfect for birthdays and other small celebrations. In addition to the hall on the second floor, there are many private rooms on the third floor, which are convenient. The lunch course consisted of appetizers, soup, dim sum, shrimp, beef, fried rice, and dessert, and the portions were large enough to suit the Japanese palate. At lunchtime, you can enjoy small beers and wines (red and white) that go well with your food. The service is also attentive and I feel that it is a Heichinro after all. In addition, since it was my birthday, I received peach buns as a service. The entrance is located in a small back alley in Kichijoji, but the inside is a nice shop with a long history. (Original) “この地区の貴重な本格中華” 追記)ディナーを個室で利用しました。子供がいましたが、気兼ねなくゆっくり楽しめました。海鮮中心のコースメニューで美味しい中華を満喫しました。紹興酒も美味しかった。 誕生日やちょっとしたお祝いの時に使うのに最適です。2階のホールの他3階には個室が多く便利です。 昼のコースは前菜、スープ、点心、海老、牛肉、炒飯、デザートで日本人の味覚にあった量も十分なコースでした。昼にはお値打ちの小ビール、ワイン(赤、白)など料理に合わせて楽しめます。サービスも行き届いておりやっぱり聘珍楼だなと感じます。加えて、誕生日だったので桃饅もサービスでいただきました。 吉祥寺のちょっとした裏路地にある入り口ですが、中は老舗の歴史を感じる良いお店です。

(Translated by Google) Satisfied in every way. The ingredients are large and filling, but elderly people should be careful! It's best to consult with the staff before ordering. The price is a little high, but it's a reasonable price. As of November 2022, the second floor is not in use, so you will be guided to a room on the third floor. There is an elevator, so it is safe for elderly people. It was my first visit in a year, but the customer service was good and the food was delicious, so both my companion and I had a smile on our faces. The Yokohama main store is closed, but the Kichijoji and Hibiya stores are managed differently, so they will not close. I'm sure it's very difficult to run a restaurant during the COVID-19 pandemic, but I love your restaurant, so I hope you will continue to do your best. (Original) すべてにおいて満足。　具材も大きく食べ応えがあるが年配者の方は注意！　スタッフに相談してから注文すると良い。　値段は多少はるが納得の価格です。 2022年11月現在 2階は利用していないので3階のお部屋に案内されます。 エレベーターもあるのでお年寄りの方も安心です。 1年振りの来店でしたが接客態度の良さやお料理の味はどれも美味しくて連れ共々笑顔になりました。 横浜本店はクローズしていますが,吉祥寺店や日比谷店は経営が違うので閉店する事はないそうです。 コロナ禍での飲食店経営は大変なご苦労だと思いますが 大好きなお店なのでこれからも頑張って下さい。

(Translated by Google) A noodle factory that sells noodles to Chinchin-tei, the founder of abura soba. In addition to wholesale, we also sell retail to the general public. If you say the noodles you want to buy at the small window, they will arrange them for you on the spot and you can purchase them. So, it makes sense that you would want to buy the abura soba noodles from that famous restaurant. Moreover, it comes with the original abura soba sauce. Boil the noodles, add your favorite toppings, mix with this sauce, and it's done. For first-time users, a guidebook on how to make abura soba is also included if you request it, so you can make it without any mistakes. Is it enough for lunch for a family of four? Purchased 5 servings (180 yen x 5 meals = 900 yen). I bought green onions and garlic at a local greengrocer, and chashu pork at the supermarket to use as toppings. As expected, the noodles are completely different. It's lively and vibrant. The boiling time was 6-7 minutes, 6:30 seconds, but personally I think 6 minutes is fine. Levechi can be made at home with the rich aroma of lard and noodles. delicious. Nowadays, it costs 300 yen to buy abura soba with a cup of ramen, so I no longer have the desire to buy and eat it. In addition to abura soba, we have a variety of noodles such as ramen, pasta, and udon. Wonton wrappers used to be sold to Eguchi-san, a legendary shop in Mitaka, and now Mr. Takao and Mr. Shimorenjaku, who are in the Eguchi-san lineage, also use them. I'd like to try something else next time. (Original) 油そばの始祖店、珍々亭さんに麺を卸している製麺所。卸しだけではなく一般に小売りもしていただける。小窓で買いたい麺を言うとその場であしらってくれ購入できる。 てことは、あの名店の油そば麺を買いたくなっちゃうのはもう道理。しかも、オリジナルの油そばのタレ付き。麺を茹でてお好みの具材いれて、このタレと絡めたら出来上がり。 初めての方用に油そばの作り方指南書ペラも希望すればついてくるので失敗なく作れる。4人家族のお昼ご飯として、足りないかな？含め5人前分（180円✕5食＝900円）購入。 地元八百屋さんでネギとニンニクを買い、スーパーでチャーシュー買って具材に。 さすがの麺で、やはり全然違う。生き生きとして躍動感ある。茹で時間は6〜7分、6:30秒にしたが、個人的には6分で良いかも？ ラードと麺の芳醇な香りが家庭で作ってもレベチ。美味しい。カップラーメンで油そば買ってももはや300円もする昨今、もはやそっちを買って食べようと思う気持ちが皆無になる。 油そばだけじゃなくラーメン、パスタやうどんなど、各種麺を取り揃え。ワンタンの皮は三鷹の伝説店、江ぐちさんに卸していたもので、今では江ぐちさん系譜の高尾さんや下連雀さんもそちらを使ってるそう。次回は他も試してみたい。

(Translated by Google) It's kind of fun Many notable restaurants are closed for lunch due to the coronavirus. So, I discovered this place when I was a refugee. Apparently they sell noodles wholesale to the Tama area, but they also sell them for takeout. They sell udon, Chinese noodles (with soup), pasta (sauce sold separately), soba, abura soba (with sauce), etc. It looks like they also sell abura soba online. (Chinese noodles: tomato soup) 120 yen (incl.) per ball, soup included. You can choose your favorite soup. The noodles will be cooked in 2 minutes. I bought arugula, baby leaves, cut vegetables for stir-fry, sweet potatoes, mozzarella cheese, thick-sliced ​​bacon, basil sausage, and frozen yakimeshi at the supermarket. Aside from looking good, it turned out very delicious. (Linguine: Arrabbiata) 1 ball is 110 yen (included), sauce sold separately (150 yen for Arrabbiata). The noodles will be cooked in about 3 to 4 minutes. I overdid it when I made Chinese noodles, so I just used boiled eggs. Finished with cheese, black pepper, and thyme. The noodles are good, but the sauce has a ready-to-eat taste. This is enough for lunch, but if you were to eat it for dinner, I thought it would be much more authentic if you opened the retort in a pot and added stir-fried ground meat and liver paste. Otherwise, it would be better to buy or make the sauce separately. (Abura soba: Chinese noodles/thick noodles) 1 ball 170 yen (included) with sauce The noodles will be cooked in about 5 to 6 minutes. I could have eaten it as abura soba, but I don't like oil, so I added alcohol and sauce (worcestershire, otafuku, ketchup) to half of the abura soba sauce (without adding the hardened oil), brought it to a boil, and then blackened it. I added pepper and made it into yakisoba sauce. Is it okay to cook my own bad food? I'd rather eat it at a restaurant. (Original) なんか楽しい コロナでめぼしいお店がランチも休業しています。で、難民になっている時に、ここを発見しました。 多摩地区中心に麺を卸しているらしいのですが、持ち帰りで小売もしてくれます。うどん、中華麺(スープ付き)、パスタ(ソース別売り)、蕎麦、油そば(タレ付き)等が売っています。油そばの通販もやってるみたいですね。 (中華麺:トマトスープ) 1玉120円(込)・スープ付き。 好きなスープを選べます。 麺は2分で茹で上がります。 ルッコラ、ベビーリーフ、野菜炒め用のカット野菜、さつまいも、モッツァレラチーズ、厚切りベーコン、バジルソーセージ、冷凍やきめしをスーパーで買いました。 見てくれはさておき、とても美味しく出来ました。 (リングイネ:アラビアータ) 1玉110円(込)・ソース別売(アラビアータは150円)。 麺は3～4分くらいで茹で上がります。 中華麺の時にやりすぎたので、ゆで卵だけ。仕上げにチーズ、黒胡椒、タイムを振りました。 麺は上々ですが、ソースはレトルト感満載です。昼はこれで充分ですが、夕食に食べるなら、レトルトを鍋に開けて、炒めた挽肉とレバーペーストを加えたら、ぐっと本格的になるかなと思いました。それか、ソースは別に買うか作るかした方がいいですね。 (油そば:中華麺・太麺) 1玉170円(込)・タレ付き 麺は5～6分くらいで茹で上がります。 油そばとして食べても良かったんですが、油が苦手で、油そばのタレ半分(固まった油を入れず)に、お酒とソース(ウスター、おたふく、ケチャップ)を加え、煮立たせてから黒胡椒を入れて焼きそばソースにしました。 自分の下手くそ料理もいいんですか、やっぱり飲食店で食べたいですね。

(Translated by Google) I've been here a few times, and while it's a noodle shop run by a noodle manufacturer, all of the noodles are delicious. They have ramen, udon, soba, and spaghetti. My kids and I love the egg ramen noodles, but I also recommend the abura soba. They have so many noodle varieties, so try them out to find your favorite. The soup, however, is a bit basic (lol). I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you live nearby, I highly recommend giving it a try. (Original) 何度か利用させて いただいていますが 製麺所さんの小売で どの麺も美味しいですよ ラーメン、うどん、蕎麦に スパゲッティがあり 私と子供はラーメンの卵麺が 気に入っていますが 私は油そばもおすすめします 麺にたくさん種類がありますので ご自分の好みを探してみて下さい ただスープはあれです 簡易です(笑) わざわざ遠くから〜とは 言いませんが お近くにお住まいなら 是非一度お試しください おすすめしますよ

(Translated by Google) I heard that Chinchin-tei sells noodles wholesale, so I came here because I wanted to try it. Order from the small window on the right. I opened the door by mistake and it turned out to be a factory 😅 The photo is a cooking example, using 2 balls of abura soba. Each ball weighs 150g before boiling, so it's a large serving. The noodles are truly delicious! I also bought ramen with it, and it was delicious too! I will go buy it again 🙏 (Original) 珍珍亭に麺を卸していると聞き、食べてみたくて伺いました。 注文は右にある小窓から。間違えて扉開けたら工場でした😅 写真は調理例、油そば2玉使ってます。茹で前で1玉150gなので大盛りですね。 麺はさすがの美味しさ！ 一緒にラーメンも買ったのですが、そちらも美味しかったです！ また買いに行きます🙏

(Translated by Google) Visited in February 2017. Direct sales corner of a noodle factory in Mitaka. I've used it several times, starting with Abura Soba. This time I only purchased Shumai skin and Ramen noodles. I'm grateful that I can easily enjoy authentic noodles. Everyone has their own preferences, so I'm looking forward to trying it next time. It's also good to do it early in the morning. (Open the small window and ring the doorbell if there is no one nearby) (Original) 24年2月に訪問。 三鷹にある製麺所の直売コーナー。 油そばから始まり何回か利用しています。今回はシューマイの皮、ラーメンの麺のみ購入。気軽に本格的な麺を味わえるのはありがたいです。それぞれ好みもあるので次回あるなしは食べてみてのお楽しみ。 早朝からやってるのも良いですね。 （小窓を開けて近くにいない場合は呼び鈴をチンと鳴らします）

(Translated by Google) A noodle factory suddenly appeared during a walk. I bought it because I had customers coming one after another. Order from the small window next to the factory. The fresh pasta was chewy and delicious. I wonder if soba is normal. In both cases, I felt that there were more people than the number of people listed. I didn't receive a paper with the boiling time, but it is listed on the internet (online shop). I want to try udon next time. (2023.10.28) (Original) 散歩中に突如現れた製麺所。 次々にお客さんが来るので買ってみました。 工場の隣にある小窓から注文します。 生パスタはもちもちしておいしかった〜 蕎麦は普通かなぁ。 どちらも、書かれている人数分より多めに感じました。 茹で時間の紙はもらえなかったけど、ネット(オンラインショップ)に載ってます。 次はうどんを食べてみたい。 (2023.10.28)

Reasonable price with perfect portion. I like this place.

Cheap, delicious & fast. 10/10 would get fat again

(Translated by Google) It was my first Matsunoya! Loin cutlet set meal was very delicious at this price! The katsudon is also of a high standard! This is the last cost performance. It's about a 3 minute walk from Musashisakaiten Station. I think the store is clean and easy to use. (Original) 初の松のやさんでした！ ロースカツ定食この価格でとても美味しかったです！ カツ丼もレベル高いです！ コスパ最後です。 武蔵境店さん駅から徒歩3分くらいでしょうか。綺麗で利用しやすいお店だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited between 9:00 and 9:30. The staff's manner of speaking, their facial expressions as they served customers, and the atmosphere of the store were all very pleasant, and I felt great right from the morning. The chicken cutlet was also crispy and delicious. I'd like to visit again. It was truly the best store experience. (Original) 9:00~9:30来店。 店員さんの声出し、接客の表情、店舗の雰囲気、とても気分の良いもので朝から気持ちが良かったです。 チキンカツもサクサクでとても美味しく頂きました。 また来店したいです。 ほんとに最高の店舗体験でした。

(Translated by Google) At Matsunoya, the eat-in space inside the store is quite small 😅, you order at the self-checkout 🤔, use d points 🉑, and get unlimited refills of rice 🍚 and miso soup ❗ I ordered a large set meal of loin cutlet & minced meat cutlet from the limited time menu😋, especially the minced meat cutlet was quite delicious, along with the other menu items!! ️👍 (Original) ここの松のやは、店内のイートインスペースがかなり狭いです😅、セルフレジで注文します🤔、dポイントが使用🉑、ライス🍚、みそ汁がおかわり自由です❗ 期間限定メニューで、ロースかつ＆メンチかつ定食大を注文しました😋、特にメンチかつがかなり美味かったです、他のメニューも含めて‼️👍

(Translated by Google) When you enter, you buy a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine on the right hand side and take your seat. The food ticket number was displayed on the monitor and I went to pick it up, and even though there were other customers, the food was served quite quickly. This time I ordered miso cutlet. Of course, the rice is huge. The rice is a large portion, and the price remains the same, and you can get refills of miso soup and rice, so you'll be full. Miso cutlet sauce is sweet. Half of the cutlet was served with miso and the other half with special sauce. The special sauce has a curry flavor and is as delicious as ever. I thought the cutlet was a little thinner than before, but the price and the fact that you can get a second helping of rice made it okay, and it was delicious. (Original) 入って右手の券売機にて、食券を購入して席に着く流れです。 モニターに食券の番号が表示されて取りに行く感じで、他にもお客さんがいるのに提供はなかなか早かった。 今回は味噌カツを注文。 もちろんご飯は大盛りです。 ご飯は大盛りで、値段が変わらずまだ、味噌汁とご飯おかわりできるのでお腹いっぱいになれます。 味噌カツソースが甘いです。 カツの半分を味噌、もう半分特製ソースでいただきました。 特製ソースはカレー味で相変わらずうまい。 カツが前よりちょっと薄くなったかなとも思いましたが値段やご飯おかわりができるのでまあいいかなという感じで、美味しくいただきました。

Walking through this mall feels like wandering into a temple of middle-class aspiration: sleek, curated & just the right mix of practical & indulgent. You’ve got your daily staples (groceries, clothing, accessories), but then boom...you stumble across a L’Occitane & suddenly you’re rationalizing why a $40 hand cream is “self-care” & not financial sabotage. The layout is classic Tokyo retail: compact but efficient, vertical rather than sprawling, with just enough polish to make you feel like you’re in on a secret that everyone already knows. It’s not the chaotic consumer assault of Shibuya or Shinjuku...No, this is Kichijoji, after all. The vibe is more relaxed, more local, more we live here, not just pass through. What I loved: the variety of shops keeps you engaged without being overwhelming. You can pick up a pastry, wander into a bookstore & grab a French luxury brand moisturizer within the same five-minute orbit. It’s the kind of place where “just browsing” somehow translates into walking out with a bag. atré Kichijoji isn’t going to blow your mind, but it nails something rarer...it makes shopping feel civilized. You leave lighter in the wallet but oddly happier, which is basically the definition of retail success.

Large and bright shopping mall/area with a wide variety of shops and restaurants/cafe within station. Great place to wander if you arrive early to meet someone and have spare time. Doesn't feel dark or crammed even though it is positioned within a long and narrow area of land along the JR station area.

Great selection of stores and restaurants. The only downside is that it it constantly crowded.

Fun shopping mall that has everything you need from clothes to food to souvenirs, they've got everything! The shops are well organized and it's bright and warm inside. You can also get presents or fashion items at Atre.

I particularly like this Atre. It's quite narrow, but some areas are surprisingly spacious. It has a couple sections (it's best to ask the conceriage and take a map!) and I think it's fun to look around especially on a rainy day. It has everything, a grocery store with a butcher and fish market, glasses/photo stores, lingerie stores, a pharmacy, cafes, restaurants, a bookstore, an imported foods store, an organic food shop, and (of course) Starbucks. Not wheelchair friendly! There is a ramp and an elevator somewhere, but for baby strollers and wheelchairs, people will give you dirty looks.

Very nice building and well organized

Absolutely loved this shopping centre in Kichijoji during an extended stay. It was my local for food shopping and especially the wonderful must visit sushi restaurant in the lower floor. Always oversubscribed but has a very efficient automatic booking system. Sushi prepared freshly in front of you by several sushi chefs. The complimentary egg appetiser was Oishi! A hot egg custard with a touch of mushroom, prawn, a tiny bit of edamame bean & sliver of chives served in a tiny cup. The Mango sorbet is the softest, most delicate and flavoursome sorbet I have tasted on earth. However, all food ordered have to be consumed in-house, no doggie bags allowed! No eyes bigger than your belly unless you are prepared to leave it. Atre is also close enough to the famed delicious Steak House Satou where the queues for the meatballs are long but worth it. A must to visit! This shopping centre holds the finest Kichijoji offers, in terms of souvenir food gifts, patisserie, boutiques, cafes, even a Gong Cha (a bubble tea outlet), a Cinnabon (an unforgettable aroma wafting through the air of some NY air terminal) and much, much more!

(Translated by Google) November 17, 2024 Musashino Public Hall appears to be undergoing renovation work once again. Renovation work was carried out for about a month in February 2017, but this time it looks like it will be a fairly long-term renovation work of more than a year, including additions. I am a member of the Tokyo Walking Association (TWA). I'm walking around town at TWA's regular meeting. At that time, I was taking pictures of places I thought were nice with my smartphone, and I decided to post them on Google Maps as well. When I visited a nostalgic place for the first time in a while, I found that it had changed! , there is a fresh impression on me. I hope that I can share this feeling with you all. (Original) 2024年11月17日 武蔵野公会堂は再び改修工事が行われるようです。2017年2月に約1か月間改修工事が行われましたが、今回は増築を含め1年以上のかなり長期の改修工事となるようです。 私は東京都ウオーキング協会(TWA)の会員です。TWAの例会で街歩きをしています。その際にいいなあと思った場所をスマホで撮影していましたが、グーグルマップにも投稿しようと思い立ちました。懐かしい場所を久しぶりに訪れてみると変わっていた！、ということに新鮮な感動があったりします。この思いを皆さんと共有できたらと願っています。

(Translated by Google) It is very close, about a 5-minute walk from Kichijoji Station towards Inokashira Park. The facility opened in January 1964 and is quite old. Therefore, the renovation work will be carried out from March 2026 to October 2027. Since it will be about a year and a half, the main work will be earthquake resistance and fire prevention equipment, toilet renovation (the smell from the drainage pipes is a concern), and interior renovation of the stage, seats, air conditioning, etc. Considering the location and environment, a hall of the same size as the large hall of Musashino Civic Cultural Center (25 minutes walk from the station, 10 minutes by bus) with 1600 to 1800 seats would be good, but unfortunately it is not possible due to the site area. A small hall with 350 seats with a strong Showa-era feel. As it is old, the seats are narrow. Fortunately, the space in front and behind is not too narrow, but it is difficult for people already seated to pass by unless they stand up. It is not as narrow as Fujisawa Civic Hall (a hall where it is extremely difficult to listen). There are also balcony seats on the left and right, but if you sit on the aisle side (wall side), you have an obstructed view of the stage. As for the acoustics, there is almost no reverberation, and it feels like only the sounds of the instruments reach your ears. When it rains, you can hear the rain hitting the stage quite loudly. If there is thunder, you will probably hear it that way. It would be nice if the hall was transformed into something at least like the Musashino Civic Cultural Center Small Hall after renovation... (Original) 吉祥寺駅から井の頭公園方面に徒歩5分程と、とても近い。 1964年1月開館とかなり施設は老朽化している。 その為2026年3月〜2027年10月まで改修工事期間となる。1年半程の期間なので、耐震防火設備、トイレの改修（排水管からの臭いが気になる）、舞台、座席、空調等の内装、改修がメインなのだろう。 立地、環境から、1600〜1800席の、武蔵野市民文化会館（駅から徒歩25分、バス10分）大ホールと同じ規模のホールが良いのだが、敷地面積から無理なのが残念。 昭和感がたっぷりの350席の小ホール。 古いだけあって、座席の幅が狭い。幸い前後のスペースはさほど狭くは無いが、既に着席している人は一旦立たないと、通り難い。藤沢市民会館（聴いているのがとてつもなく辛いホール）程の狭さではない。 また左右バルコニー席があるが、通路側（壁側）だと舞台が見切れる。 音響に関しては残響はほぼ無く、楽器から鳴る音だけがそのまま耳に入る感じ。 雨天時、打ちつける雨音がかなり聞こえる。雷が鳴ると恐らくそのまま聞こえるのであろう。 改修後、せめて武蔵野市民文化会館小ホールのようなホールに生まれ変わっていれば良いのだが……。

(Translated by Google) The sound and atmosphere are good, but the distance between the seats is narrow both on the left and right, and in the front and back. It's best to keep the amount of baggage you bring to the passenger seats to a minimum. Also, if you are late for the performance, you may disturb other customers if you are seated far from the aisle. (Original) 音、雰囲気は良いですが、座席同士の間隔が左右、前後とも狭いです。客席に持ち込む手荷物は最小限がよいかと。また開演時間に遅れると、通路から遠い席の場合、他のお客さん達に気を使わせてしまう可能性あり。

(Translated by Google) The facility has a Showa retro feel, and it's fun to feel like you're using a precious building. However, the toilets are a little difficult to use. However, the acoustics are not bad for enjoying classical music, and tickets for performances held here are very reasonably priced, which is a relief! ️ It's also close to Kichijoji Station, so it's convenient for going to a concert after work. I'd love to go again! (Original) 施設は昭和レトロの味わいがあって、貴重な建物を利用している感じで楽しめます。 ただ、トイレなどは少し使いにくいです。 ただし、クラシック音楽を楽しむには音響など悪くないですし、こちらで行われる公演のチケットはメチャリーズナブルで助かります‼️ 吉祥寺駅からも近くて、会社帰りにコンサートを行くのには便利てす。 また、行きたいです！

(Translated by Google) 1 minute walk from Kichijoji Station! It's a convenient location. It's a vintage item, but other than that it's easy to use. Since it is in the middle of the city, the parking lot may be narrow. (Original) 吉祥寺駅から徒歩1分！便利な場所です。 年代物なのですが、それ以外は使い勝手よし。 街のど真ん中なので駐車場が狭いのが難点かも。

(Translated by Google) An old building next to Kichijoji Marui. The hall itself is a reasonable size and has seats on the second floor, so it's not bad. (Original) 吉祥寺マルイの横にある古い建物。 ホール自体は大きさも手ごろで２階席などもあり悪くない。

(Translated by Google) The other day, I visited Kissel during a live performance. It felt like a good old live concert hall, the seats were close together and it was a little small, but the distance from the performers was close, so it felt like a sense of unity. The lighting was nice and I was able to take some photos. (Original) 先日、キセルのライブの際に伺いました。 古き良きライブホールといった感じでしょうか、座席の間隔が近めで、少し狭いですが、演者との距離も近いので一体感のある会場だと感じました。 照明が素敵で写真を撮らせていただきました。

Wonderful multipurpose event space for the arts nestled in an interesting neighbourhood.

The theater seat layout is good.

Great Teacher Onizuka

(Translated by Google) I'm a big fan of the master, and this was my first time at Kichijoji Theater! The performance was fantastic! Everyone's enthusiasm, passion and clear pronunciation were the best, I'd definitely like to go again! Kichijoji is great because it feels like Tokyo is crammed into it! (Original) 巨匠ファンです、吉祥寺シアター初でした！ 舞台素敵でした！みなさんの熱意、情熱、滑舌の良さ、最高でした、また是非行きたいです！ 吉祥寺も東京がギュッとつまってる感じで良いです！

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere is great, and there is a cafe on the first floor. The seats are also good for seeing the view. (Original) 雰囲気がよく、一階にカフェも併設。 座席も見やすかったです。

(Translated by Google) It's a nice theater where the stage and audience seats are very close. I think you probably don't need binoculars. I think it's great to be able to see the whole thing from the seats a little further back. The performance with sign language was very good. (Original) ステージと客席がとても近いいい劇場です。 おそらく双眼鏡必要ないかと思います ちょっと後ろぐらいの席が全体観れてとても良いかと思います 手話つきでの上演、とても良かったです

(Translated by Google) There weren't many seats, so the theater was very immersive and easy to see. There's a cafe at the entrance, so it seems like it's okay to go early. June 2025 I went to see Burning Bride☺️ (Original) 席数もあまり多くないので臨場感があってとても見やすいシアターでした。 入口にカフェもあり早くっても大丈夫そうです。 2025年6月 燃える花嫁を観に行きました☺️

Very nice interior to the spacious and modern restaurant space. The menu didn’t seem to have many options that didn’t include meat so we checked with the server. Told them I’m a vegetarian and that I’d like dishes without any meat. Was told that the only item on the mains menu which didn’t include any meat was a root vegetable salad. The other options were side dishes so I picked the salad. Dish was brought out with a soup and some bread. Put my spoon into the soup to check what it was and saw large pieces of sliced ham. Called the server over and had this conversation. “I asked for a dish without meat, I’m a vegetarian and this soup has meat in it” “yes, it’s meat can you not eat meat?” The salad was tasty enough but felt deeply frustrated at specifically asking for food without meat and being served ham. We won’t come back here again.

One of the most famous cafes in Kichijoji. It’s spacious enough so that you won’t have to wait for long, unlike other cafes in the area. I ordered a cake set for about 1,000yen, which was alright. They have a rule that you can only stay there for 2hours.

Food and environment was mid, service was not good at all. The prices are all very high (ended up paying around 2000 yen for a ketchup pasta dish, which was really not worth it). There's a charge of 330 yen for sitting inside or ordering after 8 or something, I didn't understand what the server said in Japanese. The worst part is that they did not let me put my food in a to-go container even though I brought my own container!! That might be a common ish thing in Japan that sounds dumb to me as a foreigner. But at that point, I was already annoyed with the place so I just paid and went.

Cozy atmosphere, tasty coffee and the pudding is definitely a must-try!

The decor is cool and it’s pretty spacious. Some of the food is great and some of it’s pretty mediocre and overpriced. The service is quite bad, you’re seriously only going to have ONE server for the whole restaurant? Also, there’s no point having a segregated area for smoking when it’s just a short wall and no ceiling with complete ineffective ventilation. I was seated next to the smoking section and had to move.

I read a lot of reviews about this restaurant. The foods are disappointing. Not like newly cooked. Taste is not good. Service here isn’t efficient. Not good at table management. Staff isn’t friendly. The decoration isn’t that great. I thought it would have been more Manga theme.

Chill place to have lunch. Nice selection of wines for lunch 500-600 yen. Kid friendly. Spacious. Not packed. Lunch set is rather bland for the price

Went to Parco’s BBQ Days with friends. A great place to enjoy barbeque, as the place is quite spacy with affordable price. Besides the dept store is kids friendly too. It has various shops, branded items and also restaurant for brunch to dinner.

A Japanese department store. Has a coop indie theater in the basement and an eclectic selection of shops.

Shopping district. About the size of 2 blocks. Gonna pay attention the the smaller lanes as there are lots of restaurants located inside.

We went into this while searching for baby room. I am so glad to see that almost every other floor in this building has baby room and most of them are spacious and well maintained. Also good shopping deals are available all the seasons.

So animate 8th floor is fun. Fifth floor is a musical instrument shop where I finally got my flute it’s okay service was good.

For men fashion, there are only few brands and small stores. 0101 is better than Parco.

Really boring to be honest. Not much for male fashion, it's more oriented for female customers. Saving grace is the Village Vanguard and AniMate.

I will be honest and say that this is still average if you compare it to any place in Sendai, were gyutan is very popular. However, it is a good attempt to it and very convenient in Tokyo. Prices are similar and I think the sizes are smaller than those up north, but the taste was good, and the service was kind and quick enough. It looks like this branch in Kichijoji gets very busy during the weekends, but we were lucky to find a table without having to wait.

One of my staples in Kichijoji, a place I go to eat every now and then, Negishi is for the meat lover. Suitable for either lunch or dinner and while at times it can be crowded (especially around lunch time), the wait times never gets out of hand. My go to here is the Blucky set meal, fatty american beef. It sets you back about ¥1,600 and includes oxtail and green onions soup, a bowl of tororo, pickles and a healthy size bowl of rice. The meat is always very flavourful and tasty, the service is good and if you are a non-japanese speaker they have a english meny available, both in the restaurant and on their webpage, making it easy to scout ahead. If you are in the Kichijoji area, I’d recommend a visit!

Ox tongue is so tender

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat reliable beef tongue in Kichijoji, go to Negishi! Relaxing meal near the station and in a calm space Negishi Kichijoji Ekimae branch is conveniently located within a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Kichijoji Station, just to the left. Once you find the signboard, go down the stairs leading to the basement and you will find the store. Although it's underground, the inside of the store is surprisingly spacious and bright, with soothing jazz music playing in the background, giving you the feeling of being at your usual Negishi restaurant. This time, I came with a companion who was visiting Negishi for the first time. After much deliberation, I ordered the affordable ``Marune Set'' and the ``Wanpaku Set,'' which allows you to sample different types of meat little by little. Both come with free refills of barley rice and grated yam, making you feel completely satisfied. After trying out multiple types and comparing them, I was once again struck by the stability of beef tongue. It has a strong flavor and texture, and you will never get tired of it no matter how many times you eat it. My companion seemed satisfied, saying, ``Next time, I want to order the beef tongue as a main dish.'' I visited around 4pm, between lunch and dinner, so there weren't many customers, so it was very quiet and comfortable. We recommend visiting outside of peak hours so you can have a more relaxing time. Since it's an underground store, the signal for smartphones was a little unstable, but there was free Wi-Fi so it wasn't a problem. Perfect for a short break or a solo meal. By the way, in Kichijoji, there is also a "Negishi Sunroad store" in the Sunroad shopping district on the north exit side, but the one in front of the station seems to be relatively empty. This is the place to go if you want to have a relaxing meal near the south exit. (Original) 吉祥寺で安定の牛タンを食べるなら「ねぎし」！駅近＆落ち着いた空間でゆったり食事 吉祥寺駅の南口を出て左手すぐ、徒歩1分以内の便利な立地にある「ねぎし 吉祥寺駅前店」。目印の看板を見つけたら、地下へ続く階段を下りると店舗があります。地下にあるとはいえ、店内は思いのほか広くて明るく、落ち着いたジャズのBGMが流れる、まさに“いつものねぎし”といった安心感のある空間です。 今回は、初めて「ねぎし」を訪れるという同行者を連れての来店。迷った末に、お手頃な「まるねセット」と、いろんな種類のお肉を少しずつ食べ比べられる「わんぱくセット」を注文しました。どちらもご飯はおかわり自由の麦めし＋とろろがついてきて、しっかり満足感があります。 複数の種類を食べ比べてみて改めて感じたのは、やっぱり牛タンの安定感。旨味と歯ごたえがしっかりしていて、何度食べても飽きない味です。同行者も「次は牛タンメインで頼みたい」と満足そうでした。 訪問したのはランチとディナーの合間、16時ごろの時間帯だったので、お客さんも少なく、とても静かで快適でした。ピークタイムを外して利用すると、ゆったりした時間が過ごせるのでおすすめです。 地下店舗ということで、スマホの電波は少し不安定でしたが、フリーWi-Fiが完備されているので困ることはありませんでした。ちょっとした休憩や一人ごはんにもぴったりです。 ちなみに吉祥寺には、北口側のサンロード商店街にも「ねぎしサンロード店」がありますが、こちら駅前店の方が比較的空いている印象。南口側でゆったり食事したい方にはこちらが狙い目です。

(Translated by Google) I was wandering around wondering what to eat when I came across Negishi. It had been a while since my last visit. In conclusion, it was just plain delicious. I can't eat grated yam, so I left it out. It feels like the portions and prices have changed a lot compared to before, but I guess that's because of the weekday lunch sets? I guess that's because of rising prices and other factors. It was great to see that the young staff are also working very hard. (Original) プラプラしてて何食べようと思ってましたが、ねぎし見つけました。 久々の訪問でした。 結論、普通にうまいんだよな。 とろろ食べれないので抜きましたが。 昔と比較すると量と値段がだいぶ変わってしまったような気もするが、平日のランチセットイメージ？とか物価高とか色々あるんだろうな。 スタッフの若い子もとても頑張っていることが良く伝わってきて良かったです。

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat beef tongue and grated yam on barley and rice, Negishi is the standard. It is a short walk from the south exit of Kichijoji Station, and the entrance is underground and there is no elevator. There are four types of lunch, and you can have as many refills of barley and rice as you like. Because it is underground, the smartphone signal is weak, but there is free Wi-Fi. You can sit back and relax, and it is perfect for those who want to eat a little luxury and fill their stomachs for lunch. (Original) 牛タンとろろ麦めしが食べたくなったら「ねぎし」が定番です。吉祥寺駅南口から歩いてすぐで、入口は地下にありエレベーターはありません。ランチは4種類あり、麦めしはおかわり自由です。地下なのでスマホの電波は弱いですが、フリーWi-Fiがあります。ゆっくり座れて、ランチに少し贅沢にお腹いっぱい食べたい人にぴったりです。

(Translated by Google) No, I'm at the limit of my patience.When I want to eat something delicious, I was searching for beef tongue, and I was defeated.I resisted it for a week.If I don't eat it, I won't be satisfied.Choose a restaurant where I can eat it right away.I ordered 3 types of beef tongue for ¥2850.I got excited.Tororo encouraged me to get another helping of rice.I had a good bite of the beef tongue.It was delicious.Thank you.I'll come again.Nyanpas~ (Original) いやー もう我慢の限界 食べたい時が美味しい時 牛タン検索してたら やられた 一週間我慢した 食べないと満足できない 直ぐ食べれるお店をチョイス 注文は牛タン3種盛り¥2850 奮発しちゃったー とろろがまた御飯おかわりを促進 牛タン 噛みしめて頂きました 美味い 感謝です また来ます にゃんぱす〜

Coconut Tom yam gong soup is so delicious!

Accessible menu that is easy to use with English option. The flavors hit on another level and portion size was excellent. If you are craving Thai food then check this out. Prices are affordable.

Holy moly this place has the fastest lunch service I have ever witnessed - 2 minutes from ordering they are already serving you! Food is delicious, the spices are from real peppers, so the hotness is not the stingy type but this glowing type, which I love! This place is actually quite cheap too, portions are big. I would definitely come again, as it's right next to the 2 game centers too.

A little bit difficult to find. It is on the basement. Lunch is really nice and tasty. The have regular menu and additional season menu. Not a big setup, but the decorations are good too. Highly recommended.

If you are ASEAN, this restaurant has the closest food that taste like your home country food. Highly recommend the pad Thai.

Nice Thai restaurant in Kichijyouji. Foods are tasty but little expensive..

Can't recall how authentic Thai food taste like, but their foods are pretty good!

I saw that it was said that it was the third-ranked Neapolitan pizza in the world, so I went there for its fame. After experiencing it, the pizza is 3.5 stars, and I don't want to give it even one star if the service can. There were not many people that day, with a total of three to four tables of guests. In the later stage of our meal, there was obviously no finished salad on the plate. A waitress came over and signaled to remove the plate. I understood that she was driving away the guests. I was not angry. I picked up the fork and began to finish the remaining salad quickly, so the waitress was about to take away the plate. Unexpectedly, the waitress slipped and the plate fell on the table, making a loud noise. However,the merchant did not express any apology. I think she also realized that this was very rude and rude. I'm sorry that this happened in Japan! It's really hard to describe the service. It's a terrible experience!!!

Tokyo has the issue of having a lot of average pizzerias. Out of ~20 pizzerias this is one of the best I have found. This is authentic. Tiramisu and espresso are also authentic. Excellent experience, strong recommend.

You hear a lot of the same names repeated within the Tokyo pizzeria scene, many them located near the Meguro or Minato areas (ahem). But this one seems to fly under the radar for most tourists, but I think locals know this place well. I think GG's margherita pizza competes for the best in the city. They have a classic stone oven, which creates that unmistakable rustic, fire-charred crust. The only thing is, they're a little pricey, maybe even a little more so than the other popular pizzerias.

Delicious pizza. Reservation is recommended, it was packed on a Friday evening. Price is reasonable.

Good pizza. Good service. Good atmosphere. Simply put, I will be back.

Literally one of the best pizza in Tokyo, Napolitano style, the dough is tasty and there is a good choice of pizza! There is other Napolitano and Italian dishes to satisfy Italian person like me ! Friendly staff who speak english well, there is a menu in english too if needed. If the restaurant is full, you can add your name and phone number on the list and they will call you when your table is ready, really convenient! A must have in Tokyo!

Highly recommended ! If you are in Kichijoji you have to try this !!! Come early to avoid disappointment ! Don't be surprised when you see people queueing as early as 2h before they open. There is a reason for it 🤣 😜 If you like German style bread ( thick and chewy) than you will love this pizza place ! The dough smells like bread and is thick , tender and chewy. The pizza had mozzarella cheese filling and created a real dramatic flavor experience. Reservation for lunch is not possible, but you will be rewarded with a drink and a mini desert. There are 30+ seats and the attentive staff will be happy to help you choose the right one :-) Come for dinner if you like it quiet or want to bring someone special ! Last order is around 22:00, so there is plenty of time to make your way through the rich menu.

The perfect place for a light, nutritious breakfast. Recommended for a quiet, relaxing breakfast enjoyed alone.

My family loves this Sizzler. We go there for birthdays and anniversaries. The service and atmosphere are excellent. The cheesy toast is yummy. The salad bar always well stocked. I'm not a fan of the ribs, as they are sometimes a bit tough, but the desserts, drinks, chicken and all other stuff we have tried have been excellent. Very family and kid friendly, really good value for large groups. They also do a very nice breakfast.

Delicious unlimited salad and other dishes for a total of 2000 yen. Includes desserts and coffee. Very pleasant atmosphere with plenty of space. Excellent service. Well worth the trip and it has good parking for about 20 cars.

Delicious food, very vegan-friendly, fair price.

The best SALAD BAR in all of JAPAN!!! Their food is so very delicious, well, except for the main dishes, which are a little tasteless to me. You can have a belly full by indulging only in the salad bar and dessert section. It's a little pricey, but worth every yen. Plus, it's very family-friendly and ideal for largw groups. So, give it a try.

Not very friendly staff and the buffet wasnt that impressive norwasthe quality. Overpriced. Went there together with my two year old daughter and the staff had her stay at the table because she was not wearing a mask. Not very sensitive because they basically ask you to leave your kid alone wothout offering any other options. I have masksfor my kid but she refuses to wear it. Anyways overall poor experience. (No pictures necessary for that review)

It's a decent salad bar and buffet kinda like shoneys but they also have steak,ribs,lobster,burgers. Can definitely get your american fix if your sick of McDs

Very cool Shinto Shrine near Kichijoji station. There are also some smaller shrines here too. This place is easy to find and on a busy city street. Not sure about parking. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Medium sized Shinto Shrine, supporting some of the local Kichioji matsuris, like the Kichijoji Aki Matsuri in September. It has its own medium sized mikoshi, and during the matsuris, a number of food yatais and children's game booths, but can become quite crowded as there is just the one walking path which goes to the shrine. Unfortunately, during the matsuris, it seems the office for goshuin stamps is closed.

Had fun experiencing the festival here. :)

Nice well kept shrine.

A lovely shrine hidden away right in the middle of Kichijoji.

very calm shrine, very often visiting people, a little far from main station

Nice and peaceful place near busy area! Bit renovating at the moment (may 2017)

A must-go spot for your weekend. Located away in a quieter neighborhood relative to other areas, this place offers perfectly balanced flavors. Wonderful heartwarming ambiance, complemented by excellent service. Highly recommended.

Sep 7, 2025 Have you been to a store that’s so smug about its popularity that it treats customers lightly, like an inconvenience? That’s exactly what this café felt like. At the end of the day, staff are just staff (like come on, know your place), and customers are the ones paying to keep the business alive. We visited at 3pm on a Sunday. It was relatively crowded but we got in after about a 10-minute wait. We waited patiently on the pavement opposite the entrance, as instructed, when suddenly the door swung open on its own, because it was rickety and not closed properly. I went to check if our turn had come, but the staff just stared at me weirdly as if I was being too impatient to enter or intrusive. That wasn’t the case and it left a poor first impression. Once inside, we were directed to the loft area, which was accessible by a very steep staircase and you have to take off your shoes and bring them with you -- pretty confusing. Since it was our first time and they didn't lead us there but only instructed verbally, we didn’t immediately know where to go, and the staff seemed rather impatient with us. The space itself was cramped but cute. However, the AC blasted directly onto my friend, while tables below in the loft were uncomfortably warm. The layout felt poorly designed. We ordered two drinks and a cake, which took an unbelievable 45 minutes to arrive for such simple dishes. The cake didn’t feel freshly baked—it was just a small lukewarm sponge with some macaron paste on top. The drinks were similarly very average. My hot caramel latte came with mushroom latte art and had a faint mushroom taste, which was interesting. We later ordered fries, which came out faster. Bill was ¥3,400 for 2 people. Cake can't be ordered on its own but must come with a drink or a dish. We both ordered drinks anyways so it's not a problem, but I think this is pretty ridiculous as the cake isn't cheap at already ¥800-900 on its own. On the 2F below the loft, I noticed a kitchen lift that sent food from the kitchen up to the waitstaff. While it reduced the need for staff to carry items from 1F to 2F, it didn’t seem to speed up service. Orders still took far too long. In the end, I suppose this is the trade-off for visiting a whimsical, quirkily designed café. The colorful walls on the second floor were pretty, but seating options seemed to depend on where staff directed you—either at a regular table on the 2F or the wooden loft space. Debating if I should leave 2 or 3 stars but I left 3 because the design is cute. Unfortunately, the poor service and staff attitude outweighed the charm, and I wouldn’t return or recommend unless you really like the whimsical aesthetic.

This place is tremendously cute! Would be particularly great for anyone traveling with kids. Service offered me an English menu and I could order in English. Very friendly service. Immensely cosy spot to take a break from sightseeing. They gave me a bonus little “Valentine” sweet that is shaped as a puppy head, and that little bit of cuteness is so lovely it makes me want to tear up at how lovely and sweet humans can make the world! And the latte art on my matcha latte is top-notch.

Great green salad with carrot dressing, I’m vegetarian and this was very refreshing. Everything was very tasty and cute. We were served quickly as well. I enjoyed walking through the space especially with the Halloween decorations. Lots of Halloween kid bop music that was hilarious.

The cafe is really cute. They have drinks that looks magical and cute. From the outside it won't look as amazing. You must go in and see for yourself! Food is delicious and staff is helpful.

So cute! The food was incredible. I would go out of my way to come here. I loved it

Really fun place to check out. It's quite tiny even beyond the miniature front door, so expect to be uncomfortable if you're on the taller side. However the atmosphere is fantastic and the food and drinks are good. Most of the meat options are soy-based.
