Tokyo

Tokyo has 22 neighbourhoods and 737 places. Shibuya is where you eat late and loud, Ginza is the counter you reserve a week ahead, and Asakusa is a meal near Sensoji after the temple crowds thin out. Shibuya has the most on 100, then Ginza on 81 and Asakusa on 69.

Busiest neighborhoods first.

100 places

Shibuya

Shibuya Crossing is the thing everyone films, and Mag's Park Rooftop and Shibuya Sky give you the view of it.

Ginza

Ginza is Tokyo at its most formal, and most of what people save here is dinner.

69 places

Asakusa

Sensō-ji is the reason to come, and it glows once the day crowds leave.
