Tokyo Travel Guide

Architecture in Tokyo has largely been shaped by Tokyo's history. Twice in recent history has the metropolis been left in ruins. Because of this, Tokyo's current urban landscape is one of modern and contemporary architecture, and older buildings are scarce.

Andy Shin’s Hinomoto

Occupying its own arch underneath the Yamanote tracks, this Japanese-style pub is owned by Andy, a Brit, who buys all his seafood and vegetables fresh daily at Tsukiji market. The upstairs is the place to be, with its arched ceiling and mixed foreign and Japanese crowd. If you don’t have reservations, you’ll be shunted into the less ambient downstairs, where you’ll feel like a refugee in a fallout shelter as you sit elbow-to-elbow with local office workers at long tables under fluorescent lighting. Sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, sautéed vegetables, deep-fried chicken, tofu, salad, and much more is offered on the English-language menu.
