[2025 Tokyo Attraction] Travel Guide for Takadanobaba (Updated Apr)

#TokyoAttractions Recently, Tokyo Cafe's desserts around the strawberry season 🍓 are so pleasing to the eye ✨ Worth a visit when traveling I highly recommend Re:s Cafebar & Sweets in Takadanobaba, which specializes in Napoleon. Every strawberry dessert is very attractive 🤩. I have difficulty choosing and decided to choose Ivy Partiti Set❣️ There are 5 types of strawberry feasts, including mini strawberry Napoleon, Short Cake cup, Ivy Daifuku, pudding 🍮 and strawberry milk 🥛, and it is also served with strawberry jam! It looks very attractive when placed on a wooden board, and is full of girlishness! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Access: 3 minutes walk from Takadanobaba Food & Restaurant: Old-fashioned coffee shop menu, including coffee and pancake sets and Neapolitan A lovely coffee shop with a retro 70s atmosphere. There are smoking and non-smoking seats, but be careful as there is a strong cigarette smell (I think that's also a good thing about these coffee shops) #Coffee shop #Retro #Takadanobaba

Today's lunch ramen goes to "Mugi no Kaori" in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku. This is a sister shop of Ramen Yamaguchi. A fairly famous store in Shinjuku Ward, which has been taking Bib Gourmand for 6 consecutive years. There will be a line, so I entered the store around 11:30. Already full. Tsukemen is famous, so I ordered Tsukemen with a taste ball topping. First, add noodles and try it. When it comes to tsukemen, the soup has the image of being thick and muddy, but the one here is not muddy and has a strong taste and is refreshing. The noodles are thick round noodles that do not seem to use jumpsuits, and are elastic and delicious. The soup has various flavors such as seafood and animal. In addition, you can enjoy the latter half of the taste by adding the black shichimi on the table. This is delicious. At the end, I got a warishita and I don't usually drink soup, but the ramen that I have completely drunk (laughs) seems to be delicious, so I definitely want to eat ramen next time. Personal evaluation ★★★★★

Shinjuku Suwa Shrine A 1200-year-old shrine located at 1-12-6 Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. It is a 10-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station on all lines, and a 1-minute walk from Nishi-Waseda Station on the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line. Even though it is in the city, it is a very quiet and relaxing place. It seems to be quite crowded during New Year's visits and festivals. #supporttourism #shrine #historicsite #supporttourism

#TokyoSakura Walking along the downstream cherry blossom trail along the Kanda River in Tokyo, there are 1,040 meters of cherry blossom viewing. However, the upstream trail is much longer than the downstream. Because I couldn't find a signboard indicating the length, I couldn't calculate how many meters I walked in total. The temperature is low and it's raining now, so I took advantage of the rain to go to the cherry blossom viewing. It's so beautiful and spectacular to walk leisurely and enjoy the cherry blossoms. During the cherry blossom season, the Japanese will invite their relatives and friends to enjoy the flowers together. They have the habit of sitting under or around the cherry trees with drinks, snacks, and dishes, and eating and chatting. In particular, glutinous rice dumplings (small round dumplings) are a must. Of course, I follow the local customs and don't lag behind! 📍Address: Kanda River, Takadanobaba, Shinjuku, Tokyo

#getgoing2025 I visited Cafe de Peru with a friend on a weekday afternoon, and it was such a fun and lively spot! The atmosphere was buzzing with energy, and we had a great time chatting over dessert. We ordered the strawberry parfait, and it was like a bouquet of fresh, juicy strawberries layered over creamy goodness. The parfait was huge, totally filling, and beautifully presented—definitely a showstopper. **Why I recommend it:** - A lively and cozy vibe perfect for catching up with friends - Huge, delicious parfaits that are both satisfying and visually stunning 📍 Address: 2-14-7 Takadanobaba, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 169-0075, Japan ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Tokyo #Japan

|Tokyo Experience Jazz Night: Shinjuku Jazz Bar. Regarding Japanese Jazz, my first exposure to it was the movie "Swing Girls" directed by Shi Jing Yaguchi. The collision of Jazz and youth in the movie was really fascinating. I am not a qualified jazz listener, and my knowledge of jazz mainly comes from various movies. But in Tokyo, there is such an authentic and down-to-earth jazz bar. You can get a drink for 1,500 yen (previously 1,000 yen), and refills for 500 yen. You can sit until midnight and enjoy the immature but passionate jazz. The performers are also customers, and sometimes they just greet each other and sing a song together. The advantage of the live performance is that you can completely immerse yourself in the performers' passion for music. Maybe this is not the best, but compared to some jazz performances that are like "going to work", I prefer this atmosphere. It is this kind of atmosphere. The scene is composed of performers, audiences and venues. People in this environment will really be attracted by the atmosphere and music. 📍Japan〒169-0075 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Takadanobaba, 2 Chome−14−8 Nt Building, 1st floor, underground 🏬Jazz SPOT Intro

Denkushi Shinseki is a chain of skewer izakayas that can be found in many places in Japan. When the extra-large chicken skin skewers arrived, everyone was shocked! Salty and sweet, super strong taste, 100% match with wine. Drink while pouring, very fast. My branch is next to Tokyo Takadanobaba Station, very close to the hotel. The store was full of young people and the atmosphere was good. Just a little funny, I thought there was an Indian clerk who could translate it for me, but it turns out he only knew Japanese🤣🤣#鸡皮串烧 #伝串

👍 Takadanobaba, located between Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, is a place name here. Takadanobaba, along with Ochanomizu and Kichijoji, is known as one of Tokyo's big three student districts, with many schools including Waseda University in the area, and young people, mainly students, can be seen everywhere. 🌟 The name Takadanobaba comes from a historical horse farm nearby, and it is one of the busiest train stations in Tokyo, with nearly 450,000 people departing from here every day to various parts of Tokyo. The green loop line that tourists take in Tokyo is the Yamanote Line, and Takadanobaba is part of it. ❤ The BIG BOX, built in 1974, is a landmark building in Takadanobaba, and half a century later, it is still the most popular place among locals. Many of the buildings in this area are from the 1980s, full of the marks of the era. The childhood anime 'Astro Boy', in which Astro Boy's birthplace is set in Takadanobaba, is commemorated by two beautiful murals inside the JR station, both in memory of the author Osamu Tezuka and to represent the cultural development of the area with comics. ✅ Speaking of Takadanobaba, we must mention Waseda University, which was founded in 1920, started as a specialized school, and now has about 50,000 students. The Okuma Memorial Hall is a landmark building of Waseda University, established in memory of the founder, Shigenobu Okuma. It is also one of Tokyo's early Gothic buildings. 🧳 Takadanobaba is also the place with the second-largest concentration of Chinese students in Tokyo, after Ikebukuro. Various Chinese characters in advertisements cover the buildings in the streets and alleys, and many Chinese restaurants are opened here, where you can definitely enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine.

A Taiwanese sandwich shop in Takadanobaba. It is famous as a long-established shop in Taiwan. The sandwiches were soft and easy to eat. It is a little walk from the station, but it is an easy shop to enter. There are many types of sandwiches. I would like to go again. It seems that there are other Taiwanese restaurants in Takadanobaba. I would like to explore them if I have the opportunity.

Many times when traveling to Tokyo, people choose to stay in Shinjuku, but the price of hotels in Shinjuku is really expensive. However, due to Shinjuku's geographical location, even if the room rate is more expensive, you have no choice but to choose to stay in Shinjuku. In fact, Takadanobaba Station, which is two stations away from Shinjuku Station on the Yamanote Line, is also a good accommodation option. It can be said that the place is quiet yet prosperous. Many restaurants are open until late at night. The hotel I stayed in was Sotetsu Grand Fresa Takadanobaba next to JR Takadanobaba. It was only opened in 2022. There is a 24-hour donki downstairs in the hotel, and there are many izakaya ramen restaurants in the alley across the street. Although the hotel rooms are small (this is a common problem for Tokyo hotels), the price is much cheaper than Shinjuku. The most important thing is that the hotel is right next to JR. There seems to be no hotel next to JR Shinjuku, so next time you travel to Tokyo, you can consider staying in Takadanobaba.
