Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about
The high tech machine extravaganza with flashy neon lights..is there any other place as unrealistic as this place? Robot Restaurant is a crazy and entertaining spots to see the robot show while dining.
The 10 billion yen worth restaurant is located in Shinjuku area, the biggest red light district in Tokyo often called “the districts never sleeps”. Out of hundreds of night-out spots in the area, the Robot Restaurant absolutely stands out as it’s totally unique, and something you can never find anywhere on earth.
Tokyo has numbers of fancy restaurants and bars serving fine meals, but for more unique booze experience, Izakaya alleys (Yokocho) are better options.
Izakaya is Japanese style bar/gastropub serving drink and usually Japanese food or snacks. It’s popular among salary man and locals to hop in right after work for a couple of beers. Izakaya alleys are old fashioned, smokey narrow streets clammed by small Izakaya. Some of Izakara are very tiny and have only a few seats.
Sitting next to local and sipping a glass of Sake with authentic Japanese snacks could be a whole new experience for foreign tourists rather than dining at fabulous bars. There are some great Izakaya alleys and cool drinking districts in Tokyo such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ueno.
One of the best ways to explore the drinking culture in Tokyo is joining bar-hopping tours! A lot of local Izakaya might be hard to find or enter for first time visitors, but the local bar hopping tour can take you to hidden bars and Izakaya and show you the real drinking culture in Tokyo!
Sumo is a national sport in Japan, considerably started in ancient time, and it’s also one of most unique and interesting cultures in Japan. Numbers of Sumo stables (training rooms) are located in Tokyo, especially in Ryogoku area, which is not too far from Asakusa area and the Tokyo Skytree, and some of them are open for public viewing of their morning practice.
I’ve personally participated this activity once and it was absolutely fantastic. Watching Sumo wrestlers in action in such a close distance is totally breathtaking, and by knowing how hard they train physically and mentally, I admire the sport much more and respect the wrestlers. It’s not cheap activity for every traveller, but it’s definitely worth the money and one of most precious experiences you can have in Japan.
And as usual have a chilled day from the viking
