Distinguished by Michelin as a city of delicious food
The "Michelin Guide" is a guide book line started in 1990 in France, published by the tire manufacturing company Michelin. The restaurant guides are particularly famous, and titles are published separately for different countries and cities with a focus on Europe.
An abundance of high class sweets shops can be found at Ginza, with its gathering of posh brands and shops, and Marunouchi, the sophisticatedly stylish area located at the north side of Tokyo Station. Here there are both take-out shops and shops with cafes attached. You can reach Ginza on foot from Tokyo Station. It's great fun to look for sweets while taking a stroll.
Though Tokyo is home to numerous top class restaurants on a level praised by Michelin, Japan overall also features many delicious down-to-earth eateries with inexpensive prices.
