Nonbei Yokochō

のんべい横丁

Shibuya, Tokyo · 東京

Two lanes of two-storey shacks beside the Yamanote line, each bar seating perhaps six people, largely unchanged since the 1950s.

Why it’s worth it

It is the Shibuya that survived the redevelopment, thirty seconds from the crossing. Pick a bar with the door open, sit, and order what the person next to you has.
