Ore no Italian – Aoyama

YoNinja — Fri, 03 Jul 2015 15:00:00 +0000

Ore no Italian Aoyama sits one minute from Exit B2 of Omotesando Station, part of the Ore no Co. chain known for pairing fine-dining-caliber cooking with standing or casual all-seated rooms at accessible prices. The Aoyama branch, formerly run as a combined French and Italian concept, was renewed as a dedicated Italian restaurant in July.

The kitchen is led by chefs trained in high-end kitchens, serving refined Italian plates in generous portions without the formality or price tag of a traditional fine-dining restaurant. All 80 seats are fully seated, and the restaurant features live background music performed in short sets throughout service, several times an evening on weekdays and more frequently on weekends.

With its Aoyama address, central location, and accessible pricing for the quality on offer, Ore no Italian Aoyama is a popular choice for both everyday dinners and special occasions. Reservations are accepted up to 60 days in advance online.

Zōjō-ji Temple (増上寺)

YoNinja — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 15:00:00 +0000

Zōjō-ji is a major Jōdo-shū Buddhist temple in Shiba Park, Minato, with Tokyo Tower rising nearby. Founded in 1393 and moved to its present site in 1598, it became closely associated with the Tokugawa family and remains an important place of worship, study, and cultural activity in central Tokyo.

The grounds include the Daiden main hall, the Tokugawa shoguns’ mausoleum, the Treasures Gallery, and the Sangedatsumon gate. Built in 1622, the gate is one of Tokyo’s oldest surviving wooden structures and an Important Cultural Property. The precincts offer a rewarding stop for visitors interested in Edo-period history, Buddhist architecture, or a quieter counterpoint to the surrounding city.

Check the temple’s official website before visiting for opening times, access, exhibitions, ceremonies, and notices about restoration work. The temple is easy to pair with Shiba Park and Tokyo Tower, but please observe normal temple etiquette and any restrictions around worship areas.
