Tokyo back streets

Tokyo has temples: hundreds of them. Tokyo has the neon lit commercial canyons of Ginza and Shibuya. Tokyo has stunning modern architecture. Tokyo has parks and gardens. But what do I like best about Tokyo? I like exploring the winding warrens of back streets, full of shops and eating places and, of course drinking places. At night, dark, mysterious. An urban adventure zone.

A random street in Asakusa

Nice little restaurant. Park you bike outside.

Sit outside. Eat noodles. Drink beer. Happy.

Tiny restaurant. Only half a dozen seats. Old lady serves you sake and cooks.

Another neighbourhood eating joint. Cheap. Simple. No pretensions.
