Harmonica Yokochō

ハモニカ横丁

Kichijoji, Tokyo · 東京

A black-market arcade from the late 1940s, its stalls packed side by side like the reeds of a harmonica — now fishmongers by day and standing bars by night.

Why it’s worth it

The day and night versions of this block are different worlds. Do both: buy croquettes at four, come back for a drink at eight.
