    Tokyo Meguro-ku Ohashi 2-16-21
    "Located here is a ""chinjugami,"" a type of guardian deity that watches over the surrounding area, and this one in particular has been here since the area was called Kamimeguro-mura. The shrine is mainly dedicated to Susanoo, a Shinto deity associated with eradicating disease. Also enshrined here is the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, and Sugawara Michizane , a Shinto deity for learning and scholarship. At the front you can find stone steps formed from a natural cliff that makes up the ""Fuji Sengen Shrine Mountain Path,"" which until 1985 was a spot where visitors could look up at Mt. Fuji. Nowadays, the shrine is mostly associated with warding off bad spirits and celebrating different stages of life, including a rite of passage for newborns called ""miyamairi"", and for children reaching the age of seven, five, and three called ""shichi-go-san."" Ever since the Tensho era (1573-1593) during an enshrinement, there are records and legends preserved here regarding disease and illnesses unknown to ""ujigami,"" a type of guardian deity that wards off sickness."

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Udagawachou 3-3B1F
    A French toast restaurant from Fukuoka located in the Udagawa-cho area of Shibuya City, Tokyo. The keys to the shop's delicious toast are the special bread that was developed by Ivorish over a half year period and the appareil made with a careful balance of eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla essence. Served fresh from the pan and redolent with maple syrup, the shop's French toast is crisp on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. Ivorish also offers season- and location-specific menu items topped with seasonal fruit and ice cream. The bare brick and warm wood interior of the restaurant creates a comfortable, natural atmosphere. Takeout available.

    I discovered this place on a previous visit to Tokyo and its been on my must visit list ever since. The French toast is to die for (both sweet and savory) abd their menu changes very regularly so...

    Tokyo Shibuya-ku Jingumae 3-25-12 Fuji Building B1F
    A restaurant standing just a five-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Meiji-jingumae Station serving roast beef rice bowls and American beef dishes. The sparsely lit interior creates a chic and subdued atmosphere. The restaurant's famed roast beef rice bowls are so piled high with beef you can't see the rice underneath. The hearty portions and tender meat have ensured their popularity. The steak rice bowls, covered with a special sauce, are particularly recommended.

    The food service was so terrible. The steak special bowl has too much fat and bloody. You should eat faster. The eating time was only allowed for 20 minutes. The waitress will ask you to move out...
