My wife and I were told we should watch a Japanese Show called Midnight Tokyo Diner before we left Canada. We loved the series so we wondered whether could find the location. We were most fortunate to drop by the tourist information Centre at the Shibuya Station. It was the great detective work of Kana and Chihiro that gave us the location of this small restaurant ( room for 6-7 people) In the Golden Gai area. We were given lots of great ideas around the Shibuya and Shinjuku area. Thank you to our new friends in Tokyo. If you want some great information from very friendly and informative people don’t hesitate to drop by. You will be very glad you did!

Ota Memorial Museum of Art

This small museum houses a collection of woodblock prints from noted artist Ota Seizo.

Reviewed By HelloKittyTravelPro

Excellent, small museum devoted to Ukiyo-e. In depth exhibitions focusing on a specific theme or artist. Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s work was on display when we visited in October. The size of the museum provides enough space for the exhibition to explore the subject in detail. Exhibitions change monthly. Allow about an hour to see everything. Small bookstore on the ground floor and gift store on the lower ground floor. The museum is located just a few metres off of Omotesando and less than 5 minutes from Harajuku Station and Takeshita Dori.

Tokyo Camii & Turkish Culture Center

Tokyo Camii, also known as Tokyo Mosque, is a mosque with an adjoining Turkish culture center located in the Ōyama-chō district of Shibuya ward in Tokyo, Japan. It is the largest mosque in Japan. The mosque was originally built along with an adjoining school on May 12, 1938 by Bashkir and Tatar immigrants from Russia who had come to Japan after the October Revolution. It was made under the direction of Abdürreşid İbrahim, the first Imam of the mosque, and Abdülhay Kurban Ali. In 1986, the mosque had to be demolished because of severe structural damage. Under the direction and support of Diyanet İşleri Başkanliği a new building was begun in 1998. The architect for the building was Muharrem Hilmi Senalp. The ornamentation was based on Ottoman religious architecture. Around 70 Turkish craftsmen performed the finishing details, and a considerable quantity of marble was imported from Turkey. The construction was completed in 2000. Tokyo Camii is 734 square meters in area. Its main dome is 23 meters tall and is supported by six pillars, while the adjacent minaret is 41 tall.

Ebisu Garden Place

Reviewed By olafoomes - Amstelveen, The Netherlands

Apart from the TOP Photographic Art Museum there is a lot Yebisu Garden offered when I was there shortly before X-mas. First of all there was a nice market place selling all kinds of local and rural products. Secondly at the day I was there, there was a Gospel Chior Festival taking place, which produced some very nice music by various gospel choirs the whole day through. And of course there was the always present X-mas chandelier, X-mas lighting in the surrounding trees as well as the beautiful decorated X-mas tree. All in all a lot to see and experience within a very confined and beautiful location. Yebisu remains one of my most favourite areas to visit in Tokyo during the X-mas period although this time I was there only during daytime so I missed out on the winter illuminations.
