Akabane Ichiban-gai
GoodNorthern Tokyo · Kita Ward
Akabane Ichiban-gai is a covered arcade turned all-day drinking district, crammed with cheap izakaya and standing bars full of local regulars — one of Tokyo's least touristy nightlife spots. Many places open by afternoon, so day-drinking is a thing here. Cheap, friendly and refreshingly unpolished.
