I finally made it to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The observation decks were incredible, seriously insane views of the city – especially at sunset. Totally worth the elevator ride. B… more

Yeah, the views from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building are killer. Sunset's the best time, hands down. As for ramen near there... hit up the backstreets a bit. There are tons of smaller places tucked away that the tourists usually miss. Don't be afraid to wander a little – you'll stumble on some amazing stuff. Seriously, just look for a place with a line of locals. That's usually a good sign. Enjoy!

Just wander around! Seriously. Naitomachi's charm is in its understated nature. Don't expect neon signs screaming "Izakaya!" The best ones are tucked away, often down tiny alleyways. Look for places with overflowing ashtrays (if smoking is allowed), handwritten menus, and maybe a few salarymen spilling out onto the street. The further you get from the main drags, the better your chances. Don't be afraid to just peek into places – if it feels right, go in. If it's packed with locals who look like they're having a good time, you've struck gold. And honestly, getting a little lost is half the fun. You'll stumble on amazing stuff that way.
