Good Heavens Pub

Vintage shops, live music, and the best curry in Tokyo
Step out of the south exit and the city changes register. The lanes are narrow and winding, second-hand clothing racks spill onto the street, and the live houses look untouched since the eighties. Daniel's own Tokyo neighbourhood, Sasazuka, is a short train ride away. You don't need a plan here, but the places below are the ones you'll come back for.
