  OGIKUBO

  Best known for giving birth to “Tokyo style” soy sauce ramen in the 1930’s, Ogikubo is one of the best ramen stops in Tokyo. This is not only because of its history, but also because there are so many ramen shops! With its classical music history, it is also a great gourmet area.

  NISHI-OGIKUBO

  With atmosphere akin to that of Shinjuku’s Golden-gai but a lot more local and off the beaten-path, Nishi-Ogikubo’s alleys and side streets full of local izakaya bars and restaurants match its antique and art vibe perfectly. Also a great place for coffee and sweets!
