Hello again wonderful people. My wife and I are planning a trip to Tokyo in February 2019 for 5-7 days (also going to Hong Kong to visit relatives but that’s all planned). Originally we were going to visit other cities in Japan such as Kyoto and Osaka but decided to stick with Tokyo and nearby. I’m looking for your favorite places to eat and see. I would like one really nice dinner with Wagyu beef and maybe a nice Omakase dinner. But is asking for the best ramen in Tokyo hard to answer? What do you like to do there? Thank you in advance.

Ramen I say Menya Musashi in shinjuku, and if you like spicy ramen try kikanbo ramen in akihabara. We had a omakase meal at Sushi Ichii in Ginza which was incredible. I think they are michelin starred.

Tsukiji in the early morning is a must. Fish market. Shibuya too.

I thought they're closing / already closed Tsukiji, no?

Jason you’re right. Skip that.

Steve Wish I was wrong tho

No they just moved to another location

just relocated. the street food is still there. and the inner restaurants have moved with the market in the new building so check it out!

Oops: Tsukiji fish market just moved out of central Tokyo, but the neighbourhood still boasts lots of great little places for simple deliciously prepared fish. Eat like a local!

Saisha we should watch this post for things for us to do!

Bake Cheese Tart, Menya Musashi (ramen), Wakasaya (sashimi on rice)

My personal favorite was going to the Skytree to watch the sunset then exploring the mall underneath. They have a great cheesecake shop in there!

Afuri for yuzu ramen
We had dinner at the Hyatt ala lost in translation and we’re lucky to score a table against the windows. Best Kobe beef ever (but pricey!) Loved that experience though

+1 for Afuri ramen

Go to Asakusa.

Tsuta ramen! Only ramen shop with a Michelin star. Get there early and get a ticket to come back. Less than 10 bucks for a Michelin star meal

try abura ramen, a soupless ramen particular to the tokyo area and not well known. it's very rich, filling, fun to eat as it's customizable. there are several chains in the tokyo area that specialize.

Shinjuku at night is a great place to people watch and also the Robot show in the area is lots of fun

This was a great place and we went twice. You have to have a reservation or just show up at opening at 5:30 http://shin-hinomoto.com

Under the Shinagawa train station is about 10 or so ramen
vendors, didn’t try them all but the ones we did try were great! Sorry, never did catch the name of the few places we went to. Lots of locals and different regional ramen types available at the different vendors.

i liked raamemmanrai (convenient in shinjuku, all locals, and got to try the vending machine experience). also, if you are looking for a really unique michelin restaurant experience, check out DEN http://www.raincouverbeauty.com/.../tokyo-food-guide...

Yasubee is by far the best ramen I've ever had. There are a few of them around. Shibuya, Shimo Kitazawa, Akihabara and maybe 3 more. Their spicy tsukemen is the greatest thing I've ever eaten... Shimo Kitazawa is a cool little out of the way neighbourhood that's worth a few hours for sure. Ginza, yurakucho, harajuku, daikanyama, ebisu, naka meguro, yanaka, all good neighbourhoods for walking, eating, and drinking.

the edo tokyo architectural museum is fantastic - reconstructed vernacular buildings (of the edo historical period (a traditional shop, a photographer's studio, a farmhouse...) that you can wander through, all set in a large park. when i visited, there was a festival on with old fashioned children's toys, games and other pastimes.
yanaka is a favourite spot. visit off the main tourist strip (still quaint) for a taste of an old fashioned tokyo neighbourhood.

Is a quick way to see a more quiet place with a lovely shrine, winding streets to see and a great view.

Heres what you do. Go out at 10 pm and see if there's any busy place. If it's busy with locals its good!!!
