Soul of Tokyo A Guide to 30 Exceptional Experiences

A teahouse secreted away behind a flower shop, a Michelin-starred chef who does things like no one else, a Tokyo street-food market, a hidden restaurant in the heart of Shibuya, spending a night on a library bookshelf, drinking the ultimate cocktail, finding a restaurant whose address we won't tell you, celebrating an “un-birthday” at an izakaya, going for “standing sushi”, getting a massage in a hammock ...

Soul of Tokyo is written by Fany and Amandine Péchiodat, the founders of My Little Paris, the influential newsletter-cum-lifestyle brand. Having scoured the depths of Paris for 10 years to share the city's best-kept secret spots, they now take on another city they love: Tokyo.

Each guide in the “Soul of” collection includes:
