After-work bars & a station base
Gotanda is where Tokyo’s office workers eat and drink after work. Yakitori grills under the railway tracks, ramen counters with lunchtime lines, and cheap izakaya fill the streets around the west exit.
Shinagawa, two stops away on the Yamanote Line, is the place to sleep: big hotels, the shinkansen, and direct trains to Haneda Airport. Stay in Shinagawa, eat in Gotanda.
