2025 Kanda Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

𓇠✈︎ Kanda, Tokyo While the atmosphere of the Showa era remains, newly renovated areas are mixed together, making it a wonderful town where you can feel like you're in a tourist spot even though you're in Tokyo 📍sta. The square cheesecake is light and easy to eat. I was wondering whether to have it with coffee, but it surprisingly went well with warm Tamba black bean tea! 📍mAAch ecute sta. is also here. There are event spaces, cafes, restaurants, etc. When the sun went down, the arch reflected on the Kanda River and it was beautiful. 📍Takemura A sweet shop founded in 1930. It serves fried manju and anmitsu bean paste, which is not too sweet and is located across the street from Amasaisegen, which I really like. 📍Isegen The only monkfish specialty shop in Tokyo. Like Takemura, the building is also charming and lovely. The monkfish hotpot with soy sauce-flavored broth is delicious, right down to the rice porridge at the end. #besttrip2023 #kandafood #tokyotrip #tokyocafe #domestictravel #tokyotourism

Visit Date: 2025/06/28 Kanda Branch "Juicy Grilled Gyoza" is a highly popular gyoza chain restaurant in Tokyo, with branches spread throughout the city, commonly found in bustling areas such as Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Akihabara, and more. It’s recommended to search for the branch closest to you, or simply walk into a brightly lit, lively shop on the street—you’re very likely to have found the right place. 🍽 Food Review: 🥟 Juicy Grilled Gyoza Their gyoza wrappers are slightly thick, and the first bite might feel a bit dry! But in the next second, the steaming hot meat juice bursts out like a small fountain, releasing an aroma that fills you with satisfaction. That moment is a kind of healing that "bites away the fatigue of life." 🐔 Chicken Salad and Chicken Dishes They use domestically raised Japanese chicken, which is firm yet not dry, tender and flavorful, becoming more enjoyable with every bite. The salad is lightly seasoned, refreshing and perfectly balances the rich flavor of the gyoza, offering a palate cleanser. 🌿 Cilantro Salad & Cilantro Dishes (Recommended for the Brave) If you’re a cilantro believer, you must try this. They don’t hold back on the cilantro, pairing it with chicken or salad for a mouthwatering experience—truly a cilantro paradise. Not a fan? You can bravely skip it, but you might feel a little regret for missing out on a trend. 🍮 Showa Pudding and Ice Cream Desserts are a delightful surprise. The pudding has a slightly bitter Showa-era flavor, somewhere between smooth and firm, like a dessert you’d find in an old-fashioned Japanese drama’s snack shop. The ice cream is sprinkled with a light salt flower and served with their homemade unsweetened rice crackers, blending sweet and salty with a refreshing texture—a quiet finale to a lively meal. A must-order!!! 🍺 Drinks Beer recommendation rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (Certified divine foam 😆) Cold, smooth, and bubbly, it pairs perfectly with gyoza. This place is truly ideal as a second stop for continuing the night—drinking beer with gyoza, life should be this bold. 🌙 Overall Impression: The lively spirit of Tokyo nights is hidden in this gyoza shop "Juicy Grilled Gyoza" is not just a place to eat gyoza, but a relaxing urban corner. It’s not a fancy restaurant, but it has a down-to-earth warmth and the bustle of late nights. With many branches and late hours, it’s perfect as a refuge for after-party gatherings and late-night drinks. Here, you can eat gyoza heartily, chat loudly, drink beer past midnight, then walk contentedly into the night, carrying a bit of buzz and the aroma of meat, thinking, “Ah, this is Tokyo.”

Recently, the availability of Nakkeopse 🐙🦐 has finally increased in Tokyo. However, there are still few places that offer a taste close to the authentic one, and even if there are, you often have to go all the way to Shin-Okubo, making it hard to find opportunities to eat it 😭. But, surprisingly, I found delicious Nakkeopse in Kanda!! It's a chain with over 300 stores in Korea called 【Obon Jip】 🇰🇷. They recently opened in Japan, and their main dishes might be stir-fried octopus and bossam rather than Nakkeopse?? Those were also delicious, but I want to repeat Nakkeopse 🥺🥺🥺. I truly thought it was the authentic taste!! 📍3-17-9 Uchi-Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, UD Tamachi 1-chome Building A 1-minute walk from Kanda Station

This is a sushi restaurant with several locations in Kanda! The Nishiguchi branch I visited has only a counter, and the sushi chef prepares the sushi right in front of you☺️ I wanted to try both sea urchin and salmon roe, so I ordered a luxurious set🫶 It was so delicious that I even ordered extra sea urchin and salmon roe gunkan🥺 lol The sushi chef was very kind and wonderful🩵 📍3-13-10 Uchikanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Green Building 1-minute walk from Kanda Station #EdokkoSushi #KandaEdokkoSushi #KandaSushi #KandaStationGourmet #KandaFood

Aji no Coffee Saboru 📍Location 1-9-1 Kanda Jinbocho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 💰Price per person ¥1000~2000 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities The interior of the store is quite interesting, and it's even more fun on the second floor. It's dimly lit and has a slightly African atmosphere. Pizza toast ¥850 Blended coffee ¥600 Toast (with jam) ¥500 Tea ¥600 The pizza toast was thick and the cheese was stretchy and delicious.

#FuriTabi Kanda [Hiranoya] just opened last year 🍽️ @hiranoya.japan The interior is also very clean ✨ There are counter seats and private rooms, and the best part of a yakitori restaurant is eating at the counter! One of the fun things is that they bring out the skewers grilled right in front of you one by one 🎶 The cold corn soup with the four kinds of hors d'oeuvres was very rich and delicious ☺️ All of the skewers in the course were cooked perfectly 🔥 The Kyoto local chicken breast was grilled well but rare inside and melted in the mouth, and the okra seasoned with olive oil and seaweed salt brought out the flavor of the vegetables themselves and were delicious! I'm glad that my favorite gizzard was also included in the course 🩷 Kyoto thigh meat goes well with yuzu pepper, and the zucchini with Kinzanji miso was also delicious! ! The restaurant is particular about using different local chicken depending on the type🤩 All of them go very well with sake🍶 Various types of sake are available, such as Kokihime🫶🏻 The restaurant has a very relaxed atmosphere, so if you know this place, you'll be amazed! It's a yakitori restaurant that you'll definitely think is amazing🙌🏻 🍶———————————————— 📍1-17-8 Kanda Sudacho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo TFT Awajicho Building 1F 🚉Akihabara, Kanda, Awajicho Station 🕖17:00-22:00 Closed: Sundays and holidays —————————————————🦃 #TokyoGourmet

Tokyo/Kanda Japanese Bar KOI-IKI Kanda I'm glad they're open from 3pm. It's also conveniently located, just 2 minutes from Kanda Station. The appetizer is potato salad, topped with prosciutto. It has a potato flavor rather than a mayonnaise flavor. I visited at 3pm, so it was early, and I thought there would be no other customers, but there were a few people having lunch. You can choose from 100g to 300g of roast beef. The photo shows 100g, which is more voluminous than I expected, and is enough for 2-3 people. It's nice that they serve two types of dressing and pink salt so you can change the flavor. The chicken breast and cucumber in sesame oil has a flavor that makes you want to reach for it again and again, with a taste that goes well with alcohol. The air conditioning was a little cold, so I ordered lobster thermidor. The smell of shrimp fills the air and smells amazing✨ It takes time, so we recommend ordering early. ⏰/Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat, Sun 15:00 - 01:00 L.O. 00:30 Fri, days before holidays 15:00 - 05:00 L.O. 04:30 🚗/Sanshuya Building, 1-6-5 Kajicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo #Sakura2024 #TokyoGourmet #Tokyo #Kanda #Bar #GourmetTrip
