Over at NipponPhile blog you can read about a group outing to a restaurant called Sakuratei, situated near the nifty Design Festa Gallery.

I’ve been there!  It’s a cool place, and you get to walk through the amazing fashion district of Harajuku to get there.

The gallery itself is affiliated with the Sakura Hostel of Asakusa, a place I heartily recommend spending some time at.  The cost is under 3000 yen (about $30) per night for any dorm bed, and the dorm rooms are actually pretty spacious with good privacy and access to your own power outlets.  Plus, free WiFi!  It was my favorite budget accomodation in Japan.

The best part about spending your nights in the Asakusa area of Tokyo: you’re about a 5 minute walk away from about 10 different places to eat okonomiyaki!  Hee hee.
