Had a young baby in a stroller so streets were hard to navigate. I wish I got to spend more time here and try out one of the many famous yokocho joints. Worth a visit!

This alley is really cool. Having so many different kitchens with wonderful smells. There is one drawback though - this is supposed to be traditional Japanese cuisine, but most of the chefs here are Chinese.

I've always wanted to visit Memory Lane since seeing it on TV and it doesn't disappoint.
The alley is small, cramped (all part of the charm) and lined with tiny restaurants and bars and has a smell of amazing food wafting down the length.
We ended up eating and drinking in two small eateries, one that specialises in yakitori and the other ramen.
The yakitori was outstanding, although chicken gizzards are certainly an acquired taste.
The ramen was likewise delicious, although you did feel you had to ear quickly. Very hard jf you aren't used to boiling hot bowls of liquid.
This should be a must when visiting Tokyo, especially if you are a foody.

I was looking forward to visiting here but was a little disappointed. It was smelly and it wasn’t very big. The tiny restaurants lining the alley are interesting but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here

We went here and sat in a little bar that had no westerners at all. There was nothing in English and they weren’t helpful which was part of the fun. We just pointed at what we saw being made and had a great time.
