If you\u2019ve had your fill of the usual escapes from Singapore<\/a> and want a city vibe a little beyond Hong Kong<\/a>, Tokyo is it. You expect Toyko to be crowded, towering, flashing lights and fast-paced: and sure you get that in Ginza or the over-hyped Harajuku. But Ebisu and the oh-so-close Daikanyama are none of the above \u2013 and we think we’re in love.<\/p>\n

These upscale suburbs in the centre of town are all low-storey terraces, meanderings streets and alleys, boutique shops and cool cafes on every other corner. It’s where vintage fashion<\/a> finds new owners, where coffee is roasted onsite, where nano-stores sport designer threads and floor-to-ceiling treasure. It’s still Tokyo, so it’s still tightly packed and high energy, but somehow also laid-back \u2013 this neck of the woods has even been referred to as Tokyo’s answer to Brooklyn. Here are some of our unmissable discoveries…<\/p>\n

Street eats: Ebisu Yokocho<\/h3>\n

We never imagined Japanese food could be like this. It’s street food \u2013 a collection of micro stalls seating 10-15 pax each \u2013 lined up along a corridor that runs from one side of building to another. All along the alley they’re grilling and frying in the tiniest kitchens, and locals are downing beers and picking at whatever comes.<\/p>\n

\"Spicy

Dive into an empty seat as soon as you see one: we struck gold at Kinoko, which has a mushroom-leaning menu, and ended up with spicy cod innards (amazing), crab roe, meaty king trumpet mushrooms with asparagus and a spot of grilled tongue, all washed down with hot sake.<\/p>\n

Book worship: Daikanyama T-site<\/h3>\n
\"The
The world’s most beautiful bookstore: the Tsutaya Books Daikanyama T-site. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is in Daikanyama, but it’s an essential part of the Ebisu experience \u2013 an amazing architectural space comprising, for the most part, the wonderful Tsutaya bookstore. The site is a collection of three buildings housing art and design titles, antique and rare books and mags plus vintage vinyl and special edition CDs.<\/p>\n

\"Vintage
Beyond a bookstore: vintage magazines and embroidered accessories in Daikanyama T-site. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are listening lounges, a bar and unusual bits and pieces to buy sprinkled everywhere.\u00a0 Grab a coffee, soak it up, take a bazillion selfies in front of that facade. There\u2019s a reason why this has been called the most beautiful bookstore in the world.<\/p>\n

Amazing udon: Udon Yamacho<\/h3>\n
\"Best
Unforgettable tempura udon at Ebisu fave, Udon Yamacho. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is nothing better on a cold day than a hot bowl of udon. Yamacho is definitive. The soup is out of this world deep and savoury, and the mixed tempura (it’s cold; your body needs tempura) is wonderfully light but also satisfyingly fried and fatty. This one\u2019s a little hard to find, but nevertheless arrive early: locals love this spot, and you won\u2019t be the only smug foodie who\u2019s hunted this place down.<\/p>\n

Treasure hunting: Antiques mu.mu<\/h3>\n
\"Where
Why yes we do want to rummage through European antiques in Tokyo. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course there\u2019s a store crammed with vintage kitchenalia, pottery and bric-a-brac in this pocket of town. Antiques mu.mu is described by the owner as a \u201cWestern antique grocery store\u201d, and she\u2019s spot on. This little shop is heaving with treasures she\u2019s collected from the UK, Europe and US, and is just our kind of thing.<\/p>\n

Caffeine fix: Duct Coffee Lab<\/h3>\n
\"Duct
Excellent coffee inside. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are we in Melbourne, Brooklyn or Tokyo? Stylin\u2019 tiles, neon signs and a creative-type clientele offer the visual cues you need to step inside; all the accoutrements of a third-wave coffee joint signal a damn good brew. And yes, Duct delivers. This one\u2019s a chill little spot where you can linger over your latte and some loaded breakfast pastries while you wait for all the enticing boutiques in the direction of Daikanyama to open.<\/p>\n

Flea market vibes: Hollywood Ranch Market<\/h3>\n
\"Where
Hollywood Ranch Market is cool, quirky and hard to miss. Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daikanyama has definitely emerged as the hip fashion strip of Tokyo: early arrival Hollywood Ranch Market is on the more casual end of the spectrum, with a flea market feel. It\u2019s a fun rummage and hard to miss on your way to Daikanyama T-site: just look for the alligator made out of junk out front.<\/p>\n

Next-level ramen: Afuri<\/h3>\n
\"Best
Extraordinary ramen in Ebisu: Afuri is famous for its yuzu broth. Photography: courtesy of Afuri.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amazing ramen, recommended by locals in the know, this is in the same hard-to-find laneway as Yamacho, which we told you about earlier: discover one life-changing noodle spot in Ebisu and you\u2019re already an insider. It\u2019s an elevated experience here: pure water from Mt Afuri is used for the chicken and dashi-based broth \u2013 which has a lighter, citrussy profile courtesy of yuzu. If you\u2019re used to the deep creaminess of tonkatsu, it\u2019s an eye opener. The char-grilled pork delivers the contrast this more refreshing broth needs. Good to know: Afuri stays open until 5am (not kidding) so consider your jet-lagged, ramen-craving self taken care of.<\/p>\n

The out of the ordinary boutique: Okura<\/h3>\n
\"Where
Local threads in amazing indigo. Photography: Okura.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So it turns out all the best places to eat and shop in these neighbourhoods are hidden or hard to find: we walked past Okura a couple of times before realising we were at the right spot. A sister store to Hollywood Ranch Market, \u2018Okura\u2019 means storehouse \u2013 the boutique is certainly in disguise, and inside you\u2019ll find amazing fashion and accessories with a traditional design twist (hello, kimono-style tops). Here’s the thing: it’s hand-dyed in the most amazing indigo. This place presses all our buttons.<\/p>\n

For strolling: Yebisu Garden Place<\/h3>\n

This sprawling square is an unexpected and quiet pocket of Tokyo \u2013 once the site of the Yebisu Beer factory, now surrounded by restaurants (the standout, of course, is the grand Joel Robuchon<\/a>). There are stores and a cinema, but we say the coolest thing here is the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum<\/a>, but if you\u2019re a J-Dorama fan, you\u2019ll recognise the statue where Jun Matsumoto waited in the rain during that iconic scene in Hana Yori Dango. No judgment if you just came to get that selfie at the statue \u2013 you won\u2019t be alone.<\/p>\n

Where to stay in Ebisu: The Westin Tokyo<\/h3>\n

The view from The Westin Tokyo: can you spot Tokyo Tower? Photography: Selina Altomonte<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Set in the middle of the Ebisu action, The Westin Tokyo is a polished but also welcoming retreat. With views across the area \u2013 including of Tokyo Tower and right next to Yebisu Garden Place \u2013 The Westin offers elegant rooms that are generous by Tokyo’s micro-accommodation standards, with plush furnishings and their signature “Heavenly” bed to crash into after a big night out in Ebisu, along with an in-house spa after a long day of shopping in Daikanyama. The breakfast is feast-grade, and the flagship restaurant Yebisu is a must for serious carnivores. It\u2019s strolling distance to all those spots we recommended \u2013 and a metro stop or two to the crush of Shibuya or the hustle of Harajuku \u2013 it’s wonderful to have The Westin to retreat back to for a quiet sunset cocktail at the club lounge looking out over the action, before diving back into it.<\/p>\n
