Even though it’s packed with tourists, the food is genuinely delicious.
It’s not cheap, but the quality is solid, so I can live with it.

AFURI Ebisu
Located just a 3-minute walk from Ebisu Station, this stylish ramen shop specializes in tanrei-kei (light and refined) ramen, crafted with pure natural spring water from Mount Afuri in Kanagawa and a carefully simmered blend of chicken and seafood. AFURI has expanded from Tokyo to Kanagawa, Hokkaido, and even overseas in the U.S. and Hong Kong. The Ebisu branch is open until 5 a.m. and operates as a completely cashless restaurant.
AFURI Ebisu is all about the yuzu shio ramen. The broth is so light and refreshing you’ll want to drink every last drop.
The subtle yuzu aroma is a big plus, and I think a lot of women would love it.

Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple
Located near the Tokyo Tsukiji Market, Tsukiji Hongwanji is a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji Sect, whose head temple is Nishi Hongwanji in Kyoto.
Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple has such a unique exterior. At first glance I thought I’d stumbled onto an Indian temple.
It’s totally different from typical Japanese temples, and the architecture really sticks with you.

Imado Shrine
This ancient shrine of authentic lineage is known for bringing blessings in matchmaking because the deities worshipped here are 'Izanagi-no-Mikoto' and 'Izanami-no-Mikoto', considered the first couple in Japan. Since 2008, the shrine has regularly held 'matchmaking meetings', thus becoming more widely known as a shrine where you can pray for a good match. It attracts crowds not only on weekends but also on weekdays from those hoping for a successful relationship.
Imado Shrine is so cute—there are maneki-neko everywhere, and I couldn’t stop taking photos.
A lot of people come here to pray for love, and I’ve heard it’s pretty effective!
