This three-Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Tokyo presents a beautiful modern kaiseki where you can truly taste the seasons of Japan. Order the bamboo shoots & wild herbs in spring, the sweetfish in summer and the wild mushrooms in fall!

Good Design Store Tokyo is exactly as advertised: good, contemporary Japanese design, from stationery to homeware. Many items have received Japan’s Good Design Award, with a focus on function and objects you’d find in a Japanese household. Look for compact, packable pieces: kitchen tools like cutlery, small measuring jugs or tongs, as well as socks or small objects that make ideal souvenirs. Stock rotates often, so if something catches your eye, it’s worth buying in case it sells out. Tax-free shopping is available over ¥5,000 so make sure you have your passport handy.

You might know Sukiyabashi Jiro from the Netflix show Jiro Dreams of Sushi, or mentioned in lists of some of the best sushi in the world. Their omakase is a unique experience that is steeped in Edo-style tradition and taste. 

You can taste the dedication in Chef Mamoru's sushi. He gets his ingredients fresh exclusively from the Tsukiji fish market, and is a true master of his craft! You can watch the chefs in action while sitting at the L-shaped counter, so prepare to be completely immersed in Sushi Ya's experience.
