Shimbashi

新橋

🍜 EAT

A salaryman business district the tourist trail skips — loud, smoky, unapologetic. The New Shimbashi Building is a 1970s bubble-era relic housing Kissa Fuji coffee shop and a warren of cheap standing bars. A photographer's spot at night: Yamanote trains rattling overhead, office workers blowing off steam. Not polished. That's the appeal.
