2025 Minato Ward Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

I stayed here during a training session in Tokyo. The location is excellent, making it very convenient to travel to major tourist spots and stations. It's a great choice for both sightseeing and business trips. ☺️ The hotel staff were all very polite and provided excellent service from check-in to check-out. The interior was clean and had a calm atmosphere, allowing me to relax during my stay. The room was compact but well-equipped and comfortable. The bed was very cozy, helping me recover from fatigue. The amenities were also plentiful, giving the impression that you could stay here comfortably even without bringing much. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and I particularly appreciated the balanced selection of both Japanese and Western dishes. My stay was very pleasant! 【Hotel Gracery Tamachi (Washington Hotel Chain)】 📍Location: 3-8-1 Shibaura, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 108-0023, Japan

#100 Travel Style "Taim" is an Israeli restaurant that opened in T-MARKET on the second basement floor of Toranomon Hills Station Tower. - They have restaurants in Ebisu and Marunouchi, but the Israeli Bolognese is exclusive to the Taim Toranomon branch. Mixed with browned coarsely ground beef and a sauce simmered in spicy tomatoes with a hint of herbs, this paste combines the richness of the ground meat with the sourness of the tomatoes! It's addictive with its spices. It also goes perfectly with the generous amount of "hummus (chickpea paste)" that is placed underneath the Bolognese. The rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor makes it perfect for pita bread! You can also have as much pita bread as you like. - T-MARKET has a variety of shops from all over the world, so you can choose your seat freely like in a food court and enjoy the flavors of various shops. ・ Access Directly connected to Toranomon Hills Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line Toranomon Hills Station Tower B2F T-MARKET 2-6-2 Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo 105-0001

#HongKongFlightEvent #Tokyo #Minato-ku When I arrived in Tokyo, it was late at night, and I was tired, but I was really hungry, so I went into a restaurant that sold various foods on the way to my accommodation. I don't remember the name of the restaurant because I went there suddenly. I ordered fried dumplings, ramen, and chicken and ate them with beer. The fried dumplings were crispy and well-cooked, and the meat juice inside was delicious. The ramen was spicy and refreshing, so it was easy to eat for Koreans, and the chicken was expensive, but it had a unique taste, so it wasn't bad. And the beer was clean and good, like Sapporo beer. Are all Japanese beers clean? Haha It was a satisfying first meal in Tokyo.

Nishiazabu, Tokyo! A bar with a magician located right next to the Nishiazabu intersection. It's fun to have a wide selection of original liqueurs made with homemade pickled vodka.

Minato-ku, Tokyo. If you go from Gaienmae intersection along Stadium Street towards Meiji Shrine and the National Stadium, you will find Ifu Aoyama. After entering the store, you can pay using the touch panel machine and sit down. There are only 14 counter seats. There is no designated seating. The interior decoration is simple and it is an easy place to enter. This time I ordered a simple "Rich Miso Ramen (800 yen)". I enjoyed a lot of miso even though it was late at night. The base flavors are "Rich Miso", "White Miso", "Red Miso", "Spicy Miso", "Asahikawa Soy Sauce", and "Tsukemen", and the price seems to change depending on the toppings. Opening hours are until 11pm. It was a relief as there were few restaurants in the area that you could enter without alcohol. I entered the store after seeing the sign "Free extra noodles for all products all day long" I forgot about it while selecting my products, but I remembered when I left the store🥶 90m from Gaienmae Station on the Ginza Line 650m from Aoyama-itchome Station on the Hanzomon Line "Ifu Aoyama Store" 107-0061 Aoyama Aiai Building, 2-7-21 Kitaaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo #Aoyama #Minato-ku #Tokyo #Ramen #TokyoRamen #TokyoTrip #TokyoTourism

It is about a 10-minute walk from Daimon or Hamamatsucho. To be honest, it's easy to fall for matcha desserts in Tokyo. Maybe I have high requirements for matcha desserts. If they are too sweet or not rich enough, they are not ok. This is one of the few shops that I will visit a second or third time. This Pafei is really good. Components Matcha tea powder·Raw cream·Matcha ice cream·Genmi crisps & Matcha flavored Genmi crisps·Candied black beans·Candied chestnuts·Caramel walnuts·Candied red bean paste·Shiratama·Matcha sorbet·Matcha cookie crisps·Raspberry jam·Matcha pudding The overall coordination is very high, and the sweetness is well controlled. It is very suitable for people who love sweet but are afraid of it being too sweet. The crispy aroma of brown rice is extremely prominent, and it goes perfectly with the matcha ice cream. The ingredients that have always been sweet, such as candied black beans, candied chestnuts, caramel walnuts, and candied red bean fillings, are also well controlled in sweetness. The white jade has a soft and chewy texture, and the sorbet is a bit refreshing, which just happens to have the effect of cleansing the taste buds in the middle. The matcha pudding at the bottom is almost sweetless, and it is just right with raspberry jam. The only flaw is the cream on the top, which uses ready-made products from the market, because nowadays many dessert shops also make their own cream, and the taste and flavor will definitely be better than ready-made products. Overall it's good. Although the location is not very convenient, Matcha Puff is better than many matcha dessert shops.

#DomesticTravel Introducing the cafe at Toraya, a long-established Japanese sweets shop in Akasaka Mitsuke. Toraya's sweets are sold on the second floor, and the cafe space is on the third floor. The ceiling is high and the windows are large, so you can see the greenery well. It's a very relaxing space🌳 I ordered the seasonal kashiwamochi with miso paste! It was so delicious that I was overwhelmed🥹 Until now, I've only ever eaten yokan at Toraya, and although the yokan was of course delicious, the kashiwamochi was also very delicious!! It was the most delicious Japanese sweet I've ever eaten😭💕💕 I wanted to order kuzukiri as well, but I didn't have time and gave up. I'll definitely go again!! 📍 Toraya Karyo Akasaka 🏠 4-9-22 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo 🚃 7-minute walk from Exit A of Akasaka-mitsuke Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza and Marunouchi lines. 447m from Akasaka-mitsuke Station 🕰️ 11:00-17:30 (L.O. 17:00) #TokyoTourism #TokyoCafe #TokyoTrip #AkasakaMitsuke

If you have ever been to Takanawa Gateway Station on the Yamanote Line or Sengakuji Station on the Toei Subway Asakusa Line, you may have seen the lanterns on the second floor of the building. I climbed the stairs of the building, a little worried about whether it was safe to enter. The shrine is well-built and the grounds are larger than I expected, and even in the hustle and bustle, there is a sacred atmosphere. It was a hidden spot where you can get a panoramic view of the Takanawa Gateway Station front, which is still under construction. In spring, you can enjoy cherry blossoms at Sengakuji Temple, and of course, if you go a little further away to Mita, you can enjoy them. ◆Kurumamachi Inari Shrine 2-15-10 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo #Kurumamachi Inari Shrine #Sengakuji Temple #Inari Shrine #Prayer

Cherry blossoms are beautiful but fragile. It will fall off after one or two days of rain. It was raining all day yesterday in Tokyo, i worried that the flowers would fall off and I decided to go to Tamachi station and walk to Shibaura where I used to live. Not many people come to see the flowers here but it is very beautiful. And watching flowers and the lines of people putting up umbrellas in the rain is something romantic,which I couldn’t feel when come to other crowded places like Nakameguro or Shibuya. Tamachi Station is not too far from Odaiba, Tokyo, Akihabara, so it is very convenient for visiting other famous places in Tokyo. #tokyo #東京 #mytripvlog #tripblazers #awesomepic #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #2023travelwish #japan #japan #日本旅行

This is a bakery where people line up. Truffle BAKERY Hiroo Branch has an impressive signboard that says "Freshly Squeezed Cream Buns" that have a 5-hour expiration date.

After waiting in line for a little while, you enter the store and see the "Butter Croissants" and "White Truffle Salt Breads" on display. There are also many other items such as baguettes and savory breads, and freshly baked bread is frequently replenished, so even if there is a line, there is no need to worry about shortages.

GAZTA in Shirokane Takanawa is a shop where you can taste Basque cheesecake made directly from the original owner. San Sebastian, in the Basque region of Spain, is known as one of the world's leading gourmet cities. Basque cheesecake is a favorite of tourists and locals alike. The Basque cheesecake at La Viña, a long-established bar in San Sebastian, is exquisite and loved by many people as a sweet representative of the region. Since its founding in 1958, La Viña has been run by the same family for generations, and only family and relatives were allowed to enter the kitchen, so the recipe was kept secret for many years. Pastry chefs from all over the world have been fascinated by its deliciousness and have approached the bar hoping to learn how to make it, but no one has been able to learn the recipe until now. The Basque cheesecake specialty store "GAZTA" opened in Shirokane, Tokyo in July 2018 and is the only place in the world that is allowed to know this secret recipe and faithfully reproduces the authentic taste.
