Food Scene

A great place to try soba, or buckwheat noodles, which are popular in Japan. Great quality soba with excellent hospitality for under 1000 yen! Very close to the station, and a great place to enjoy traditional soba right before you head on out, or when you're just getting back.

Ever wondered where they serve the best udons in Tokyo? This place is your best bet! Although udon is more popular in western Japan, this place is one of the few shops that serve authentic udon. This store has been serving the community for decades. Closed on Thursdays.

If you ever wondered what "oden" is like, you have no option but to try this place out! What is oden, you may ask? It's broiled vegetables, fish cake, eggs, etc served in soy sauce based broth. Not so well known among tourists, but a popular cuisine, especially in the winter time. It's also used as a traditional Japanese pub, with its wide variety of sake, shochu, and beer. This restaurant has also been operating in the area for quite a long time. It even appeared on local TV a couple of times, due to popularity. Definitely recommended!
