This is a charming little pub off the beaten path NW of Ikebukuro in Toshima-Ku. Solid Japanese craftbeer, fair pricing. It's not open every day. En savoir plus .
There is a roller coaster on the roof which has never operated! Look for cheap JAVs (3 | ¥999) on the 4th floor.
The dot is the Tobu terminus. Toei Asakusa Line (which connects with the Keisei Ltd Express to|from Narita Airport) is directly connected to it. Tokyo Metro Ginza Line is three blocks south.
The pedestrian-only avenue extending to here from the south has many purveyors offering individual, and pre-bundled picture postcards of Asakusa, and Tokyo. Buy them here.
In December 2005, I dumped every copy of each back issue of my "Incendiary Words" #soccer zine in a kiosk on the floor with the English-language books and magazines.

For railfan photos, this huge station has train consists from Tokyo Metro, JR, Odakyu, Tokyu, & Tobu, including Tobu's reserved seat Ltd. Exp. trains [see photos].
'Slashie' associated with the Lumpen organization. English pub atmosphere. Contemplative conversations. Studiously selected beers. Probably the best bar on the south side open to lay people.
Even if the venues you want to see are in Tokyo, you should stay here in central Yokohama. I revamped my bookmark page to reflect this. En savoir plus .
You're too late. The grade crossing is _gone_. You'll never again be able to shoot all those Odakyū trains passing through here unless you buy a ticket to ride it.
The Sumo Arena, Edo Tokyo Museum - yeah, sure. What you should absolutely hit when traversing this station is Beer Club Popeye (麦酒倶楽部 ポパイ), most likely Japan's *best* craft beer bar!
This is another good station where to get train photos. Consists from Tokyu, Tokyo Metro, Tobu, & Seibu all serve this station.
Tokyū Ltd. Exp. trains run from here to Shibuya in 27 minutes for ¥270. -Cheaper than JR.- En savoir plus .

A very good money exchange shop is Daikokuya, near south exit & Toei subway Exit #4. (Technically in Yoyogi, Shibuya-Ku) En savoir plus .
Through runs on another railway's tracks notwithstanding - this is the only Tokyo Metro station in Saitama Prefecture.
FIFA likes this stadium, but not its brand name. It is also the home pitch for the Yokohama F-MARINOS [J-League].
There is an electric CTA BustRacker display for eastbound route #80 buses here. This is the 1st stop for pull-out buses from the Forest Glen garage.
