Backstreets of Shinagawa


On our recent trip to Japan, we stayed a few nights in Shinagawa. Opposite the hotel, beyond the train station is a maze of tiny streets which house a lot of awesome, tiny restaurants. We randomly picked one, ended up having a mountain of meat. Thanks to some very helpful locals, who in broken English, helped us to sign up for happy hour, we had free flow of drinks too. 


View from the hotel is also stunning, with the Tokyo Tower visible in the back. Walking distance kinda. The location is rather compelling with a lot of shopping around the hotel and great food. Plus the connectivity is very good. 



The 82 Ale House in Shinagawa has some educational bits put up in their restrooms. . . Fun fact: I was sat in that very same pub in 2013, when Isuzu organised a media trip and I came up from Osaka on the Shinkansen, having done some work on a project for Nagano Science....
