TOKYO - BEST RESTAURANTS & HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS
Introduction
Did you see Sophia Coppola's movie Lost in translation? That is Tokyo - a neon-lite fascinating and densely populated city; Tokyo was rated by the Economist Intelligence Unit as the most expensive (highest cost-of-living) city in the world for 14 years in a row. The city offers culinary highlights - orgasmic food "to die for". So its is not surprising that Tokyo's gastro scene is called "the land of the rising stars“ and the first ever Michelin guide to Tokyo's restaurants has awarded 191 stars in 2009. In comparison to other cities - London has 50, Paris has 98... And, don't forget to bring your best "socks", you need to be shoe-less in many restaurants.
Night Clubs
Party with the A-listers, the locals and hip crowd in every city.
Here the coolest and best Night Clubs:
Ageha
Modern disneyland for pip-squeaks. Over 4'000 capacity includes masses of dancefloors, bars, a pool, beach, arena, and even jacuzzi's. 38 red octagon-shaped speakers blow your mind with RnB and house. Come one, come all!
Air
Big black box tucked below a casual cafe. Whimsical breakdancers entertain lost-in-translation city clangs. A large window for non-clubbing voyeurists. Va-va-voom international DJ's play tech house.
Feria
Collage of areas for different needs of speed. Countless floors jam-packed with mostly models and out-of-towners. A definite meat market! International talent on the decks. Brutally beserk until the wee hours.
Le Baron
A French flair for fashion soiree members. Obviously red-themed with plexiglass stripper booths. Picture models in neon stilletto's and teased hair. Acid rock and vintage pop. Try snitch into the sexy VIP room!
