My wife and I arrived at this really nice looking collection of restaurants in the NEWoMan part of the building across the street from Shinjuku station's building.

I gave it four stars as it is pricey, but considering the area, I...

We’ve enjoyed Wharf Oyster Bars several times in the past, and always find it among the finest we’ve tried in France, America east coast, west coast and Right in Hokkaido.

Keep up the greatness and Japanese hospitality we have admired for almost 30 years during our 30+ month long visits in search of fantastic passion...
