Feel good places in Tokyo 2018/5/20 21:12
Hi,
I know this sounds silly. I will be 6 days in Tokyo first week of June. I love to find ' feel good places ' in other countries, while wandsering around. (I like to walk a lot.) So I was wondering... has somebody an advice for me? Can be all kind of places, a cafe, a park, a street, a restaurant, a shop, anything that has the impact on you to make you happy! Thanks!

My places would be:
- Shimokitazawa
- Kichijouji Park
- cycling around back streets. Eg around Sasazuka to Shinjuku (there are tiny docomo bicycles for rent around. Like children bikes bit they are meant for adults)
- Meguro river
- if available the days you are coming n Tokyo a gmatsuri g somewhere
...

Enjoy your trip to Tokyo

PS : for Japanese try if you can find a meet up group. There are some. I never tried though.

My Tokyo favourites in no particular order:
* Omoide yokocho & Golden Gai (usually Bar Albatross)
* Hitachino Brewing Lab, Akihabara
* Baird Taproom, Harajuku
* Tower Records, Shibuya (specifically listening to music on the headphones and buying indie rock)
* Kosoan cafe, Jiyugaoka
* Yanaka, my favourite neighbourhood. Sembei, tea shop, the manju shop with the strawberry fromage daifuku, the cemetery, etc
* hearing Astroboy music at Takadanobaba station as you ride the Yamanote Line
* thunder dolphin rollercoaster at LaQua
* eat sushi for breakfast at Tsukiji (I hope there's nice restaurants at the new fish market)
* Super Potato, Akihabara (retro video game arcade)

Zojoji at Shiba Park is very nice. It is a way out of Tokyo, but my favorite is Enoshima.

Hi!

(Please excuse any typos in advance I am on my cell as my internet is down.)

I am going to second Kichijoji, I really like Inokashira Park, as well as all the cute shops and restaurants.

I like Odaiba. I once caught a gorgeous field of poppies and cosmos there. It's cheery and fun.

Hakuhinkan Toy Park, I like toys and the Toy Park tune is liable to get stuck in your head.

Riding the Yamanote line, I love the variety of train jingles.

Sunshine 60, I like to shop there and last trip we ran into a cosplay event. Everyone there was so nice to my daughter.

For splurges, breakfast at the Tokyo Station Hotel. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing.

Enjoy Tokyo!
