Hyperlocal Tokyo

"This is Charyo Itoen, located on the 4th floor of the HIAT in Haneda Airport's Terminal 3. It has a beautiful entrance, but inside it's a self-service eatery. You choose your seat and then purchase your food at the central kiosk, which resembles a traditional Japanese pavilion. The seating area is elegant, with chairs and red felt cushions. The men"

"It's open 24 hours a day! It's a lifesaver, but... I feel for the staff working such long hours. I haven't used it that late at night, but I always find the customer service to be good. A young woman at the register greeted me with a smile, which really brightened my day. There are a decent number of seats, but it can get pretty crowded depending o"

"This cafe is located in Terminal 3 of Tokyo International Airport. It's a pretty interesting place with a unique concept. The highlight is definitely the space where you can enjoy drinks and food while watching a planetarium show. The price is a bit higher than the general seating area, but it's definitely worth it. They also offer a variety of dri"

"The food menu includes hamburgers and hot dogs. Drinks include coffee, tea, juice, frozen drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Ice cream is also available for dessert."

"While the prices are definitely airport-level, they offer delicious and filling burgers, hot dogs, and pizza. The bread is especially tasty and soft. One item plus a drink is enough for a satisfying breakfast."

"While this craft beer is quite expensive at ¥1,078 per glass, it's truly special to enjoy a drink before boarding."

"A Japanese tea specialty store located in a commercial facility adjacent to Haneda Airport's Terminal 3. I'm grateful they opened a branch here, as I often visit their main store and cafe in Kakegawa. They offer a wide variety of teas, including green tea, matcha, Japanese tea-based black tea, and flavored tea. They also have tea bags, so you can e"

"Since most food vendors at Haneda Airport's Terminal 3 close at 10 PM, this 24-hour cafe is your only option after that time. They only offer light meals and drinks, and the quality is comparable to a cafe you might find at an amusement park. The prices are high, and the staff is unfriendly, so you won't be satisfied. I recommend arriving at the ai"

"I tried the "Kami Banana" (God Banana) at Haneda Innovation City, thinking it would be a good treat to enjoy with the foot bath. The baby castella cakes were delicious! But the banana smoothie, the main attraction, was just... banana milk. 💦 It was literally just mashed banana mixed with milk, not a smoothie at all. And for that price, it was way t"

"I had the Warabi Mochi Milk Matcha. The warabi mochi was just the right size, not too big to choke on, and the texture was nice. The whipped cream was a bit sweet for me, but it was still delicious. It's like a tapioca drink, but with warabi mochi."

"I visited around 12:00 pm on Saturday. I thought it would be peak time, but I was the only customer! I was surprised by how spacious it was. It was a very moody cafe with adult vibes, playing mellow music. The only other customers were foreigners, and the staff spoke English. The lunch menu included a roast beef bowl, salad, and juice for ¥1400."

"I think it's a great place to take a break before your trip 😄 and after you arrive ☺️."

"The waffles are reasonably priced, but they're pre-cooked and microwaved when you buy them. I took two bites and threw it away. They're chewy, not crispy and soft."
