GRIDS Tokyo Ueno Hotel + Hostel: Hostel Life Made Chic & Cozy Sleek and stylish, GRIDS Tokyo Ueno Hotel + Hostel is not only steps from one of Tokyo's major train stations and shinkansen hubs, it's also a pretty comfortable place to stay during your trip to Japan's capital. No longer must hostels be old and worn-out - GRIDS is a growing group of swanky modern hostel/hotels, made to offer reasonable accommodations to travelers in Japan's biggest cities, without sacrificing comfort or convenience. We went to take a look at their newest location, opened just recently in October 2019, and it's definitely a great deal. Read on to find out why GRIDS Tokyo Ueno is our Ueno hostel recommendation for Tokyo travelers!
Hokkaido’s Wagyu Beef, Cooked to Perfection in Sapporo: Yakiniku Wagyu Kurosawa Hokkaido is famous for its fresh food, with ample shoreline providing fresh-caught seafood for donburi, and broad pastures giving dairy and beef cattle room to graze. While travelers with a taste for Japan's super-high-quality wagyu beef might beeline towards Kobe, it really shouldn't be a surprise that Hokkaido's a great place to sample Japan's choicest cuts. That's why we made sure to add this Sapporo restaurant to our itinerary during our latest visit to Japan's northernmost island, and why we're recommending it now. Since yakiniku (Korean BBQ) gives the diner the chance to cook each morsel of beef to their own ideal level of rareness, we had an amazing meal at Yakiniku Wagyu Kurosawa, trying all kinds of wagyu!
Under Armour in Tokyo! The Huge & High-Tech Under Armour Brand House Shinjuku Long gone are the days of simple undershirts - Under Armour is now a major international brand, and one step into their recently opened Under Armour Brand House Shinjuku will show you just how far out on the forefront of workout and sportswear tech they are. This branch, almost within sight of Shinjuku Station, is their first global flagship, so not only do they have the latest products for Under Armour fans, but they've also got some limited-edition Tokyo items great for souvenirs, and a classroom for workout and yoga workshops that are open to everyone! While the JAPANKURU team is a mix of workout fanatics and couch potatoes, we all wanted to take a look.
A Culinary Guide to Central Tokyo - Some of the Best Eateries in Japan's Capital Tokyo is a foodie's dream, with delicious renditions of just about any dish you could imagine found somewhere in the city's 23 districts.
