A little time. A closer look.
Omoide Yokocho offers a compact food-lane visit near Shinjuku Station. Individual venues set their own hours, charges and ordering rules, so choose a place using its current information rather than treating the lanes as one restaurant.
Something to notice
Notice the scale of entrances and the use of a small counter. Record the atmosphere in words if photography would disturb others.
A little consideration
Check charges and ordering rules before sitting down. Respect staff and other diners, and avoid obstructing the narrow lanes.
