"Tokyo’s oldest temple."

"My favorite kakigori (shave ice) in Tokyo. Also happens to be in one of my favorite neighborhoods (Yanaka)."

"Located in an old bath house, maisen has some of the best tonkatsu in Tokyo."

"Dedicated to the first modern emperor of Japan (and his wife). It’s free to enter and truly a beautiful and peaceful place."

"A good way to start the day in hip Daikanyama. It's a little pricey here, but the atmosphere is very lovely. After your fancy pancakes, you can mosey on over to the best Tsutaya bookstore in Tokyo."

"OMG, Sunday afternoon watch the aging Rockabilly dancers. They’re by the Meiji Shrine gate. Later, explore the park to see all the ravers, breakdancers and ukulele players. A beautiful, strange place."
