Come & experience what it would be like to have a meal and be served by Ninjas!

The restaurant crew will guide you through a mysterious journey and make your dining experience an enjoyable and surprising one. Even the food presentation will be ninja theme-based!

How secretive can it be? You may miss out the entrance to the Ninja restaurant! Your adventure begins next to the Tokyu Plaza, right at the street corner with a small black door.

2. Fishing restaurant 

Located at Shinjuku, the Zauo Fishing Restaurant allows you to experience a next level of seafood freshness, i.e. you catch your own dinner, without all the hassle of getting to the city outskirts. When you enter the eatery, you will know that you have arrived at the right place, as a giant wooden boat with a pond besides it is in front of you at the center of the restaurant.

       

Best to bring along a group of friends fish together, so that you can compete with each other and get a higher chance to enjoy your group’s catch. You pay for only the bait (if needed) and for the fish you caught. The chef will prepare it the way you requested and deliver directly to your table.

 Tips: Book the table on the boat in advance if you wish to observe how others fish!

 It is so overwhelming that you will see lots of neon sparkle reflecting from the metallic mirrors and lasers coming from every direction, followed by the widest range of robots you’ve ever seen in life, from animals, action heroes to beautiful lady android, echoing and dancing with showgirls.

   

Good to end your trip with this big “wow” evening show. 4 shows per day. Tips: Check with agents first before making a reservation as you can possibly get special discounts for shows on certain dates.
