Chatei Hatou
Shibuya, Tokyo
Chatei Hatou is one of the classic Tokyo kissaten: dark wood, antique porcelain and coffee poured by hand with ceremony. Three minutes from Shibuya Crossing, and the interior has changed little.
Insider tip
Order the aged blend and watch the pour. The cakes are made in-house and the chiffon cake sells out. Plan on staying a while.
What the guides say about Chatei Hatou
Afternoon. Walk down into Shibuya. Cross Shibuya Crossing once, watch it once from above, and then you're done with it. Give what's left of the daylight to what surrounds it: the lawn on top of Miyashita Park, the record floors at Tower Records Shibuya, and the coffee at Chatei Hatou, a dark-wood kissaten where each cup is made slowly and served in antique porcelain.

The crossing is just the cover page
Everyone does the Scramble, and you should too, once. But Shibuya's real personality lives in the smaller streets. It's in Nonbei Yokocho's two-storey bars pressed against the train tracks, the climb up to the rooftop views, and the walk down towards Daikanyama as the noise fades behind you.
Shibuya has 14 places on the Roam Tokyo map: 4 shops, 2 viewpoints, 2 bars, 2 cafes, 2 restaurants, 1 landmark and 1 bathhouse. Read the Shibuya guide.
