One train stop from Yoyogi-Uehara, this design hotel faces directly onto Yoyogi Park, with uninterrupted views into its tree canopy. The most recent TRUNK addition to Tokyo, the hotel is designed by Keiji Ashizawa, whose interiors lean into pale timber, stone surfaces, and softly diffused light. Rooms are spacious by Tokyo standards, many with balconies that open towards the greenery. Upstairs, a rooftop pool and dining space add a social layer without disrupting the overall calm. Across the street, as a bonus, you’ll find the popular Fulen coffee shop – perfect for enjoying Norwegian brunost with your coffee.

Sure, you probably don't really need anything in the Monocle Shop, but we promise that you'll want it all. From bags to little designed items - we love their trendy little things!

This terrific secret wine bar in Shibuya sells an incredible range of unusual and fantastic natural wines. They also serve up superior bistro food!

Although you might not associate cheese as being a traditional product of Japanese cuisine, this shop is one of the most fabulous places to pick up a wedge or two in the city!
