A travel guidebook tailored to your tastes, the second book in the Friends Theme Travel series, “Tokyo’s Best Restaurants These Days,” has been published.
This book is a new type of guidebook that features neighborhoods and authentic restaurants that Tokyo locals actually visit, rather than familiar landmarks like Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Asakusa.

Tokyo presents a completely different face just a short distance from its bustling streets.
Alleyways filled with quirky cafes, small galleries, trendy bars and restaurants, and long-established shops that have been loved for years… .
"Tokyo's Best Restaurants Today" has carefully selected these 15 areas and organized them so that travelers can create a travel plan tailored to their desired style.
In addition, a separate table of contents is provided for each food, so you can find restaurants by region and by food, and find restaurants based on your desired menu, so you can use it to suit your travel style.

This book introduces carefully selected restaurants based on extensive data and local word-of-mouth by 'MyGururu,' which is collaborating with local Japanese dining and reservation platforms.
From the hottest restaurants of the moment to established establishments that have stood the test of time, we offer a wide range of genres, including izakaya, sushi, yakiniku, cafes, and wine bars, ensuring that no matter your taste, you'll find something to satisfy.
Each restaurant page includes a Google Maps QR code so you can save your favorite spots right away or check up-to-date information like location and closing days.

Before we get into the full restaurant introduction, we've added to the excitement of exploring delicious restaurants by including must-try Japanese dishes, interpretations of menus and signs, and unique Japanese food culture and conversations for specific situations.
At the end of the book, there is an appendix titled 'Tokyo's Latest Honey Tricks & Hidden Spots' that introduces traditional bathhouses, stylish select shops, trendy prop shops, and even a list of shopping spots and souvenirs frequented by locals, allowing you to experience the Tokyo lifestyle beyond simply exploring delicious restaurants.


A meal in Tokyo is more than just a meal; it reflects the city's tastes and lifestyle.
"Tokyo's Best Restaurants Today" will offer readers a new perspective on Tokyo through local favorites and spots, offering a special travel experience that goes beyond a single meal.
