Booked a last min trip to tokyo for my 1st time and would love recs for where to stay to be close to authentic but affordable food + hip nightlife (not too crowded, not too empty)! I'm in my late 20s and BF is late 30s and we'd love to make the most of the area we're staying but accessible to lines if needed (deciding between shinjuku, shibuya, akasaka)!
WHERE IS THE (affordable) BEST…
– unagi (eel) bowl
– omakase
– mochi
SPECIFIC STORES…
– luxury vintage (I heard shimokitazawa is a great area with localized thrift stores) – if any specific luxury store recs!
– ceramics (tea set, utensil holders, quality ceramics)
– cute quirky goods/knick knacks
– kitchen knife
– matcha powder
ACTIVITIES (any
– pokemon cafe
– ghibli museum – any way to get tickets for sept? (sold out 3 days ago on official site)
– micropig / meerkat cafe?
– clubs (specifically hip hop club!)
SUNSET

– is asahi sky bar a good alternative to shibuya?
– any other free romantic spots to watch sunset
PARKS
– best peaceful romantic parks to stroll at night that aren't too far from shinjuku/akasaka
