What people say

"Tokyo Ramen Street, located within Tokyo Station, is a paradise for ramen lovers. It's home to eight renowned ramen shops, each offering a unique take on this beloved Japanese dish. The restaurants cater to a variety of preferences, from creamy tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen to vegan-friendly soy sauce options. Some even feature exclusive dishes not available elsewhere, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Each shop focuses on perfecting its specialty, and seasonal menu items often surprise visitors. English menus are widely available, which is GREAT for international travelers. Practical perks like luggage storage areas and the proximity of multiple shops make it easy to explore several varieties of ramen in one visit. Whether you're a seasoned ramen enthusiast or a first-timer, Ramen Street offers an authentic and approachable way to experience one of Japanโ€™s most iconic dishes!"

"Get your adventure hat on! With over 8 different ramen shops to choose from, this B1 food court is located in the underground shopping mall at the mammoth Tokyo Station. If you can, go during off-peak hours, as youโ€™ll likely be seated more quickly at these times, and bring CASH!"
Natt Garun
"If you plan to take trains from Tokyo Station, you can find everything you want to eat right before your ride here, or in a number of "Ekiben" (bento box) shops where you can buy premade food to eat on the Shinkansen."

Mentioned in these guides

A hotel room with an epilepsy warning? An omakase course of tea-based cocktails? I can't say for sure these are hidden gems, but after months of seeing everyone and their moms go to Japan since COVID reopening, I can say these were some of my favorite spots that I seldom saw people visit. Hi! I'm a Brooklyn-based tech journalist-turned-corporate comms editor. Early in my career I spent a stint as a luxury travel planner and writer specializing in Asia, and if I can toot my own horn, I'm often the friend everyone says "wth Natt, how do you find all these cool spots, drop that itin." (Fine, they don't say it like that, but you get the point). Travel planning is a great hobby for me, and I am writing this as both a journal to remember my trip by and to share with friends, hence the overly familiar tone you might find below.
