👍 Intimate bar/club with games and pumping music, really sick vibe, staff are international friendly. Bit quiet when we came at 10oclock on a Sunday night so fair enough - that’s on us. 1000yen each and 2 drinks each included regardless of gender, so it’s pretty good value! They offer a free tequila s...

Suga Shrine Otokozaka
Historical landmark
👍👍 Had to come here since ‘Your Name’ is my favourite movie of all time. The place itself is located in such a beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood and isn’t hard to access. There were only a few people taking photos of the stairs and in the shrine when we went on a weekday which made the whole visit a...

👍👍 Can’t rave about this place enough! We were so glad we took a class here and would recommend it to anyone heading to Tokyo. Everything we made was delicious and well thought out and was easy enough that I’ve been able to recreate dishes at home no problem. The staff is incredible and it was truly a...

Min-on Music Museum
Museum
👍 It's a very small museum with few things to see, but I like it. This is a recommended place to stop by if you come to Shinano Town. I think an hour is enough. It is soothing to hear an introduction with a short performance of a classical piano such as the harpsichord and the tone of a music box. Wh...

Godzilla Head
Tourist attraction
👍👍 This is seriously one of the coolest tourist attractions we saw in Japan, and it was completely free! So there are actually two ways to enjoy this and it is daily from 12pm-8pm. 1: Go to Hotel Gracery and take the elevator up! As soon as you get off the elevator you will see a smaller version of Go...

Kyu-Goryo-Tei (Taiwan Pavilion)
Historical landmark
😐 This was a great looking area of the garden, with the Taiwan pavilion fitting right into the scenery that was. Nothing spectacular in my opinion, just still take a snap when you walk past.

Memorial Museum for Soldiers, Detainees in Siberia, and Postwar Repatriates
War museum
🫤 A one sided view museum focusing on the suffering of the Japanese. There is no mentioning on the suffering of the people being invaded by them. In fact, they still use the word "advance" instead of "invade" to describe their invasion to neighbouring countries. Whereas in the pamphlet they give aw...
