7 Jalanan Paling Keren Yang Harus Kamu Jelajahi Di Tokyo

7 Jalanan Paling Keren Yang Harus Kamu Jelajahi Di Tokyo

Berita Wisata Jepang – Kamu dapat menghabiskan waktu seumur hidup menjelajahi jalan-jalan Tokyo yang berliku dan gang-gang yokocho dan masih belum melihat semua yang ditawarkan kota ini. Geografi zig-zag kota sangat cocok untuk membuat penemuan sesuatu hal baru yang kebetulan seperti restoran lokal yang luar biasa tidak pernah kamu ketahui keberadaanya, atau juga kuil terpencil tepat di belakang…

Hi there! Hope you’re well and not melting away in the humidity. I am super excited to be planning a trip to Japan again after almost four years away. Considering I lived 1) in Kansai-ish territory and 2) near Nagoya, I never got much chance to explore Tokyo outside of the usual tourist places. I already have Jinbocho on my list (along with one of the Aoyama flower market tea houses and Nakano Broadway)— do you have any suggestions for what’s fun in Tokyo for someone who is a little more experienced with the area?

Welcome back!

Now here's a challenge! I don’t know whether you're looking for new & trendy, or old & traditional, and a lot depends on the season, but…

1) Stroll from Ueno Park or Nezu to Yanaka and Sendagi. See if you can find Snake Street and follow its curves. Yanaka is as Kyoto as Tokyo gets. Yanaka and Kagurazaka.

2) Shibamata for more old Edo vibes. Cross the river on the ferry. Only ferry in Tokyo.

3) Sunamachi Ginza Shopping District in Koto-ku: another old area that's being transformed by gentrification.

4) Get lost in Shibuya Station, just for fun, but take tranquilizers with you. Walk from Shibuya via Shoto to Yoyogi Park. Shoto is one of the wealthiest areas in Tokyo, but it's not as famous as, say, Azabu-Juban or Denenchofu. Stop at Levain for bread and Fuglen for coffee.

5) Explore the swanky, hipsterish areas of Kichijōji, Shimokitazawa, Daikanyama. Take the Setagaya Tram Line from Sangenjaya to Gotokuji and visit the temple birthplace of the famous maneki-neko. Lots of tiny shops and quaint shopping streets in a relatively upmarket area along the way.

6) Okutama. Walk along the Mitake Valley Riverside Trail, from Ikusabata to Sawai, stop for sake at the Sawanoi Sake Brewery, visit the Gyokudo Museum. You can continue past Mitake to the Okutama Fishing Centre. If you are here in autumn, you'll see breathtaking autumn colours.

7) Yokohama! Not exactly Tokyo, but a nice day trip. Minato-Mirai, Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery (no, seriously, Google it), Sankeien Gardens.

I'm not a food expert, but there are really nice restaurants in all these areas. Add Yakitori Alley in Yurakucho to your list: great atmosphere. (There's a maze under the tracks between Yurakucho and Shimbashi. Well worth a visit, but it gets a bit dystopian.) Museums? Fukagawa Edo Museum in Kiyosumi, all the art museums in Ueno Park. Plants 'n stuff? Yumenoshima Tropical Greenhouse Dome. Shinjuku Gyoen remains my favourite Tokyo park/garden.

It's very touristy, but so iconic that it's really worth it: New York Bar and Grill in the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Expensive though. Cocktail Works is a craft gin bar in Kanda (close to Jimbocho), and a very good alternative (but without the glorious view) (which is the whole point) (actually).

Oh, by the way, Piss Alley in Shinjuku? So yesterday. Try Sankaku Chitai in Sangenjaya or Nogecho in Yokohama instead. Shh, don't tell anyone.

Best free and still relatively uncrowded view of skyline: Bunkyo Civic Center observation lounge. Shh again.

Would this suffice? If you send more details about your timing and what you're interested in, I'll happily add more.

Enjoy the planning as much as the trip! 😊

A name for a restaurant, not a person, but isn't it lovely? The top two characters read 銀座 Ginza, and the bottom says 臍 Heso.

銀 is new to this blog! It means silver (see the metal radial 金?). It's read しろがね or ギン.

座 is new too! It means sit (e.g. the verb 座る [すわ.る]), seat, cushion, squat, or gathering. Its on-yomi is ザ.

Now, 銀座 Ginza usually refers to the swanky shopping area in Tokyo, but it can also serve as shorthand to mean a busy shopping district or bustling location. For example, 谷中銀座 Yanaka Ginza is an eastern Tokyo neighborhood with a very retro, traditional feel, or 仙台銀座 Sendai Ginza, a restaurant district in the northeastern city of Sendai.

臍, get this, is also new! It means belly button (though that's usually written in hiragana as [お]へそ), or sometimes stomach/abdomen, and by extension, it sometimes means a depression in the middle of an object. It's read へそ, ほぞ, セイ, or サイ.

+ Akina and I went to Ueno since our annual pass of the museum expires soon; there's a section on Japanese Nobel Prize winners and their discoveries; above is the lab notebook entry of some major scientific breakthrough... The normality of these was my favorite part of the experience... Just a regular day in the lab led to a major breakthrough and subsequent Nobel Prize

+ I'm also fascinated by the life advice of highly successful people, so here's a nobel prize winner's advice to his graduate students prior to his sabbatical

+ It was a Japanese scientist that basically discovered vitamins, since his advisor told him to make contributions unique to his home country (Japan), so he distilled rice into all of its constituents...

+ The Apollo missions returned pieces of the moon to Earth and Nixon had them sent to every country in the world; many of them are now lost/destroyed/sold, but Japan kept theirs and display them in the museum

+ Oh, I picked the lunch place; it was a tonkatsu (fried pork) restaurant with a Michelin star... It was... Uhm, okay, but still just tonkatsu; the experience was way more enjoyable than the food; it may be my first Michelin star restaurant

+ Some attempt was made to see some art galleries, but nearly all were closed; here's a piece from one we actually saw

+ Akina: "Do you have Kaito-kun with you?"

+ "Yes, why?"

+ This is Yanaka Ginza, a shopping street; it's kinda neat

+ One of the shops has lanterns, but you can sit on the floor atop rugs and eat; interested in returning for that...

+ Oh, Tumblr says no more

Tag 2 Nezu Schrein

Auch dieser Schrein war sehr schön. Besonders imposant sind die Roten Portale, die am Hang liegen.

Wer hier ist, kann auch in der Nähe gelegenen, traditionellen Einkaufstraße Yanaka Ginza bummeln gehen.
