Maryam: There are a ton of wild deer here. They're used to humans though, so you can feed them and pet them.
Maryam: They have whale sharks!!! Also, there are street performers in the square outside the aquarium.
Stephen: It's a neat wooded shrine easily accessible from Harajuku. Fewer tourists than Asakusa, but still quite a few.
Stephen: I'm a huge nerd, and I thought the 1:1 size Gundam in Odaiba was awesome. The mall nearby has a Gundam museum too!
Dave: This place in Shimokitazawa has some of the best Aburisushi around. The whole neighbourhood is pretty damn cool - not a salary man in sight. It's quickly changing though, so get it while the gettin's good.
Dave: One of the tiny little owner-run bars in Shimokitazawa. Head there on the right night and you might run in to one of my friends sitting at the bar.
Dave: Sure, Ippudou and Ichiran are good. But you have those in NYC. Head over to the Tokyo Metro Waseda station on the Tozai line and try Budouka Ramen. Look towards the back - maybe my old business card is still on the wall. Pin yours up to get free rice!
Dave: I picked the first Kin No Kura from the list, but they are freaking everywhere. Cheap, consistent izakaya food. It's not going to blow you away but there are a few gems on the menu. You're there to drink anyway.
Dave: Great bistro where everything has a play on tomatoes. They have variants that I had never seen before and everything was superb.
Dave: Good fish-focused Japanese restaurant. This one linked here is not the location I was thinking. Since I used to hang out a lot in Ikebukuro, the location I went to is here: 〒171-0021 Tokyo, Toshima, Nishiikebukuro, 1 Chome−10−15, 養老乃瀧池袋ビル 5F
Dave: Another great spot in Ikebukuro. One of my favourites. Mostly a Vietnamese focus. Very cool and intimate.
Dave: Down the hill from where I lived. This Kagurazaka / IIdabashi cafe gives a quintessentially serene Japanese view of the canal punctuated by the faint sound of the Chuo line train entering the station on the opposite side. Very romantic.
Jeremy: You got to walk down it. If you have time for a walking tour, I'd walk from the Harajuku station, down this street, then turn right on the big street (dori) just after the Lotteria on the right. Then walk until you get to the next major street just after Laforet on the right) and then turn left and go down to say the Omote-sando station.
Clement: Go during the day time cuz there's no light at night time so it's can't take good pics
Clement: another shopping district..i like to walk around during the weekend cuz the road close in the afternoon. Oh and you can get 2nd hand luxury watch for a decent price :)
Clement: Go like around sunset so you can see the day and night up top. Last time i waited like 30 minutes to go up, but i think as a tourist, you can actually pass the line!
