Скачать или смотреть What to Eat in Tokyo: Ultimate Foodie Guide

Tokyo has over 160,000 restaurants (compared to NYC’s 30,000!), but finding the right one—and knowing how to get a table—can be surprisingly difficult for travelers. In this video, we break down the essential rules of dining in Tokyo, from navigating tiny 7-seat eateries to the "hidden" floors where you can always find a meal when everything else is closed.

We cover the biggest mistakes tourists make, including timing your meals wrong, missing out on the best reservation hacks, and how to handle the bill without looking confused. Plus, we take you under the train tracks in Yurakucho for one of the most atmospheric dining experiences in the city!

In this video, you’ll learn:
Why you should look beyond Sushi (and try Katsu!).
The "2:30 PM Rule" for skipping lines at popular spots.
How to use Hotel Concierges to book "invite-only" restaurants.
How to pay correctly at Japanese restaurants.
