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

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. The store is located on the corner of Hiroobashi intersection, the main street in front of Hiroo Station. 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. The "Freshly Squeezed Cream Buns" are displayed refrigerated, so they are located next to the register. Eating in is not allowed, only takeout, but if you are a tourist, you can take them back to your hotel and enjoy them. The store is compact, but the selection of products is rich! Stroll around Hiroo on your trip. I enjoyed it as a late-night snack😊 Truffle BAKERY Hiroo store 5-15-16 Minamiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-0047 #Tokyo #Hiroo #Bakery #Hiroo gourmet #Tokyo trip #Tokyo sightseeing

Introducing the super-discounted 3H Premium All-You-Can-Drink "Soten Course" (total of 9 dishes), exclusively for one group per day. I was looking forward to the Japanese cuisine of the Ichimoku Sansho Group. The interior is stylish, and the tableware and dishes are beautiful. They provided detailed explanations of the dishes, and it was a busy night of listening, eating, and drinking, but it was a very satisfying evening. The staff were kind, and halfway through, they started recommending drinks that would go well with the next dish, so I was able to choose drinks in a pairing-like fashion, which was really great! There were many drinks I had never tried before, and that was also a happy point. There was even a sommelier. ~Course Contents~ ■ Appetizer Sakura mochi with silver bean paste ■ Starter Bamboo shoots and sakura meat in a white dressing ■ Sashimi Today's selection of fresh fish • Aori squid with radish koji • Black porgy with root mitsuba, tofu, and crystal • Sakura sea bream with sakura soy sauce ■ Soup Sakura shrimp puree with grilled asparagus ■ Sake Accompaniment The ultimate trio of thirteen • Vinegared Akamoku seaweed from Iwate Prefecture • Spring cabbage and whitebait salad • Firefly squid with vinegar miso from Toyama • Water eggplant and smoked duck tataki ■ Bamboo shoots and seasonal grilled vegetables I was able to choose two types of vegetables.

When you visit Tokyo Tower area, you will be surprised by the limited food options that you have. I recommend Mita Onigiri(三田おにぎり) in Mita 3 Chome, where you can find the affordable take-out food. My top 3 recommendations are below: 1. Negi Toro(330Yen) 2. Tsu Na(220Yen) 3. Mentaiko(240Yen) If you visit here between 11am-2pm, you can enjoy lunch set of 2 Onigiris with extra dishes such as egg rolls, fried chicken or miso soup. The opening time varies, so please check the Google maps first before visiting. In Google map, seasrch ‘Mita Onigiri’ and you won’t miss it. Do a take-out and have a nice picnic in Shiba Koen where you can see Tokyo Tower. #Tokyo #tokyotower #Onigiri

Address - Bar Centifolia Ambiance/Facilities - cozy Highlights - cocktails Avg. Price per Person - $50 sgd per drink Rating - 10/10 on the performance It’s the most interesting cocktail we have had! Every drink he crafts is like a performance. Highly recommend the bar seat when booking in order to see him make the drinks right in front of you. Head to their Instagram highlights to see what is available to order and just show them the cocktail you want. Because they do not have an actual menu. Staff speaks English too so it’s really a plus there! Cocktail is more expensive but considering it’s holiday and we will chilling and seeing him crafting so many cocktails were really like a show, so still worth it in my opinion.

This cute cafe is called Drogheria Sancricca. Freshly blended coffee beans and a lot of tasty food. It has got a very warm look and the fresh aroma is surely going take your breath away. They sell spaghetti, pasta, and and many other excellent quality food products. The unique designed deserts are not just a treat to your eyes but also tastes relishing. Must try the Hazlenut flavour cappuccino. Address- 1 Chome-5-7 Shirokane, Minato City, Tokyo 108-0072 #celebratewithtrip #cafehopping #tokyocafe #coffeeholic

[Japanese Star-picking Foods] Under the Tokyo Tower, the taste of the Five Dynasties is located under the Tokyo Tower. It has the appearance of the Edo period. The restaurant, which looks very low-key, is actually famous. It is a restaurant where even the Japanese royal family loves to eat. Since its opening in 1850, the taste of the ancients has been passed down for five generations. At the age of 30, it has been inherited from the store. So far, the 80-year-old Kim and Jiro are the current heads. The Japanese said that the god of sushi, Onojiro, the famous carp of the carp, Kim Jong-ji and Jiro, and the famous tempura of the tempura, are the masters of the Japanese cuisine industry. They are the old people of the Japanese national treasure. I didnt know too much in advance. I dont know if this store is so big. I happened to eat it. I ordered their heavy meal package, including appetizer, white-boiled squid, steamed tea bowl, heavy weight, and the final dessert. . When the heavy-duty drama was put on the table, I carefully cut off a piece of squid with chopsticks, and then dig the rice underneath to the entrance; the smell of the sauce is scented, and the soft-smelling squid The crystal-clear and full-bodied rice grains are all wonderfully mixed in the mouth. The scent is really fascinating, so you only want a sip of risotto. Then I finally can only come up with a word, Oyishi ! I learned later that Noda Rock is a Michelin one-star restaurant, in addition to the current four stores in Japan, there is another in Paris, France. Branch. However, we recommend this store, linen restaurant. Noda Rock Burma Ikebukuro Main Store Nodaiwa-Minato 106-0044 Higashi-Azabu, Higashi-Abu, No.5, No.1, Higashi-Ikebukuro, Minato-ku, Tokyo

Izakaya is my favorite place to go in Japan, because I can experience the life of local people and feel the culture of Japanese culture. Under normal circumstances, there is no Chinese or English in the izakaya, but the boss and the waiter are always very simple. We look at the food at the neighboring table and try our luck to order a few side dishes. The blind spot is very exciting and fun to me, just like the blessing bag. Even if the temperature in Tokyo is only minus, the egg-flower soup rice, the original grilled squid, the grilled fish cake, the tofu , the cheese are very warm, and then eat two rice balls, perfect!
