Koyanagi (小柳) | Traditional Unagi in Asakusa
A traditional unagi restaurant near Sensoji Temple that I grew up eating at. Come for the eel, stay for the old-school Asakusa atmosphere.
Grill Victoria (ビクトリア) | Uguisudani
Enjoy hyper local Japanese western fusion food called Yoshoku.
Gundam Base | Odaiba
Gundam Base is a fun place to just look at many figures but also in the outside courtyard you can see the big Gundam statue. Definitely worth seeing it!!
Yoshi Sushi (よし寿司)| Ueno
Good sushi doesn’t always need to be expensive or intimidating. Yoshi Sushi is an easygoing Ueno spot I like for quality sushi with family and friends.
