Go out of the ordinary
Most visitors only ever see the ground floor of Tokyo. The bar you’ll still be talking about a year later is on the sixth floor of a building with no English signs, and the only clue is a stack of names next to the lift.

Tokyo’s own local dish
“Monjayaki” is my comfort food as a Tokyo local. Head to “Tsukishima” and cook it yourself at the table. I always order “mentaiko mochi cheese.” It’s messy, casual and very Tokyo.

Truly local souvenirs
In Japan, a box of regional sweets (omiyage) is the go-to gift when visiting someone or returning from a trip. For more personal occasions, high-quality sake, hand towels (tenugui), or local specialty foods are welcomed.
