2025 Akasaka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#nightlife #100waysoftravel I finished my dinner and would not want to go back so early, so I have decided to take a stroll around Akasaka area. The night is very vibrant alomg the streets, where you see bars, pubs and restaurants still operating till late night. The night stroll is lovely and awesome, where you can enjoy the vibes and atmosphere of a bustling town, and you can just hop in to any Izakaya or Pubs to have a drink or some food. As the season is autumn, temperature is just nice so there are plenty of restaurants with outdoor seatings. The night is still vibrant till 1am, then the crowds disperse and go back to sleep. It is one of the best place to stroll and have some beer at night.

As soon as you exit the Akasaka subway station and head towards the TBS theater, you will hear familiar music at the ticket gate and, like magic, the whole scene will instantly transfer to the Hogwarts Hall, taking you directly into the magical world of Harry Potter! Really cool! Harry Potter fans will love it! The entire corridor stairwell is covered with portraits of characters from the play. At the end of the stairwell is a huge time turner and the most representative white owl. The atmosphere created by the overall light and shadow background and the totem family emblem really makes the mood jump. Turning Akasaka Subway Station into a Harry Potter themed exhibition, connecting the TBS Harry Potter Theater, theme cafe, and souvenir shop, this marketing technique is really perfect! Highly recommended, whether you are a Harry Potter fan or not, remember to go to the Act Theater exit from Akasaka Station on the Chiyoda Line subway and go and experience it! it's free! But if you want to enter the Harry Potter Cafe or theater, you have to make a reservation or buy a ticket. #JapanTandian #TokyoAttractions #Akasaka #HarryPotter #TBSHarryPotterTheatre

#japanitinerary It's safe to say Akasaka is a hidden gem in Tokyo for Harry Potter fans! Due to the staging of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child is happening in the area, small part of Akasaka has been transformed with Harry Potter themed. Right when you walking out from the Akasaka station, you will see the the staircase is decorated just like the moving staircases in Hogwarts. Even the surrounding buildings are also in wizarding world theme and if you're good enough, you'll find the 9 3/4 platform! Not only that, there's a gift shop full of official merchandise and also cafe that serves harry potter theme food. But make sure to do reservation first if you want to experience dining in the cafe! #thingstodo #citydaytours #japan

Toraya is famous for its yokan. I went to the Akasaka store. The seasonal fresh sweets have flavors that are only available at the store, so be sure to check their website. (The hojicha in the photo is only available at the Midtown store!) The large store has a sales floor and a tea room. It has a different kind of calm to department stores, which is nice. I only did some shopping, so I'd definitely like to have some tea next time. Address 4-9-22 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-8401 Business hours 9:00-17:00 #EnjoyJapan#Toraya#Japanesesweets

This is a place that Harry Potter and the Wizarding World fans shouldn't miss. With its location in the middle of Tokyo, right at Akasaka subway station, it's perfect for taking pictures and shopping instead of going to the studio or Universal Studios. If you have time in the morning before you go back, you can stop by here first. The shop opens at 11 a.m. and the cafe requires a reservation. #TravelJapan #Tokyo #harrypotter

A 3-minute walk from Akasaka Station. A carefully prepared yakiniku and Japanese dining restaurant. You can enjoy a variety of meat dishes using even rare cuts that you can't find at ordinary yakiniku restaurants. A restaurant brought to me by a friend on my birthday. I was a little nervous at first because of the luxurious atmosphere at the entrance, but the waiter was very kind and smiled cheerfully, so my tension melted away. I had the lunch course, and I will never forget the impact of the platinum yukhoe that came first. The thin and fluffy meat and the wonderful aroma of truffle wafted through my nose. The combination of truffle and meat was just amazing. As the name "Golden Tongue" suggests, the tongue skewers were also excellent. How can it be so thick and yet so soft?! While I was thinking about this, it was so soft that it was gone in no time 🥹 It's a high-end restaurant, but when I went in, the people were all friendly and I, a commoner, was very satisfied ♡ 📍Address: 1F Social Akasaka, 3-11-7 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0052 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-15:00 17:30-22:00 #0 yen trip #Akasaka #Akasaka gourmet #Akasaka lunch

#CanadaFlightEvent ☕️: I always get confused between Asakusa and Akasaka. Akasaka is an office complex with many workplaces. Maybe that's why it's well connected to the city center and transportation! The price of accommodation in the middle of Tokyo is so expensive. I chose this accommodation because I wanted to go to a large bathhouse, but it was a bit of a failure. Haha. The bathhouse is really shabby. What the heck. Anyway, in the meantime, we went to a cafe we ​​wanted to go to, 222 Coffee, but I saw a review that said the owner was really kind, but he was cold to us. What's the point if the coffee is good? But what can't be helped is that if the customer service is bad, the coffee tastes bad. If it's not really heavenly, it wasn't heavenly, and I don't want to go there again with that kind of service~

#CanadaFlightEvent :🤍 I got a place to stay in Akasaka, and there's a Starbucks coffee at the nearby subway station! Among the menus that aren't available in Korea, I recommend the Iced-Hojitea latte! It has a moderately subtle Hojicha fragrance, and the milk feels very fresh. It feels like it has a fresh flavor added.. I don't know if it's because the milk is really fresh!.. or if it's just a feeling, but it's fresh. If I go to Japan again, I want to have one Hojicha latte a day.

Lunch at Anio Shokudo 🎵 On this day, we had a set of Soondubu Jjigae and Deji Kalbi 🐷 😃 The Soondubu Jjigae was spicy and had clams and eggs, making it rich and delicious 😃 The banchan was also authentic, with three types of kimchi 😃 The kimchi was the perfect amount of spiciness and was delicious 😃 The lunch menu is extensive, and there is even a limited-edition one-coin lunch, so you might have trouble choosing a menu 😘 The restaurant is full of celebrity autographs 👀 Please be sure to visit 🎵 📍Location: 1F and 4F, Mintomi Akasaka 2 Building, 2-13-17 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo #Akasaka Gourmet #Akasaka Lunch

#GlobalTravel When visiting Tokyo, I believe that the first thing Harry Potter fans think of is the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios, which will open in 2023. But don't forget Akasaka Station in Minato. This is a magical world that you can experience in real life, and it's completely free! As soon as I walked out of Akasaka Station, I was immediately surprised. At the top of the stairs was a super-giant Time Turner, and famous paintings from the magical world were displayed along the way. It was gorgeous and spectacular. After leaving the station, the nearby buildings are decorated with Harry Potter, and the main reason to come here is the "Harry Potter Cafe" The exterior of the cafe is designed in the image of four colleges, while the interior is a space with dim lights and gorgeous decorations. The food design is also very thoughtful. I ordered the Hufflepuff-themed sandwich set, which tasted just right. The nearby towns are all filled with Harry Potter-themed shops. After eating, you can go shopping, which is very satisfying both physically and mentally. 📍Akasaka

#getgoing2025 JAIME JAIME Strawberry Tiramisu 980 yen (tax included) JAIME is a French-style cafe in Akasaka. We had the strawberry tiramisu, which is offered only in winter and spring.

You can experience the world of Harry Potter on the Studio Tour, but you can also experience the world of Harry Potter in Akasaka 🪄🧹🧙♀️ It's one of the places I've always wanted to visit. I got tickets for the play but haven't seen it yet, so I'm planning to see it next week. This time, I came to take a walk in Akasaka while taking care of some errands. The cafe is closed because it's the New Year holidays, so I'd like to take revenge. Even though it's January, there is still a Christmas tree set up, and there were people taking pictures. I wonder if it's been up for a while? If you haven't taken a picture yet, I recommend you go and see it. The size is impressive. There was Dobby at the station, and there was a painting, so I felt like I was in Harry Potter! This looks great! ! I'll come again! #akasaka #harrypotter #biztower #akasakabiztower
