For drinkers who've foresworn a life of Sapporo and Super Dry, Tokyo is a much more welcoming place than it used to be. It's still worth making a pilgrimage to the legendary Popeye in Ryogoku, but you can now find Japanese and import microbrews on tap at many bars around the city – and some places are even starting to brew their own. Whether you're new to the scene or a hardcore boozehound chasing that next hop high, it's hard to go wrong with the following Tokyo craft beer bars...

Living in one of the most volcanically active countries in the world can have its perks, not least the abundance of natural hot springs. According to the Nippon Onsen Research Association, there are a total of 3,185 onsen spread around Japan, in locations ranging from Hokkaido to the southernmost islands of Okinawa. Traditionally, the citizens of Edo had to trek to spa towns like Hakone and Atami if they wanted to get their fix, but today's Tokyoites have it easier: they just drill a few kilometres underground to tap their own source of geothermal goodness. You can now find a diverse range of onsen in Tokyo, from old-school public baths that are practically indistinguishable from your average sento, to massive, theme park-style complexes such as Oedo Onsen Monogatari. As winter holds the capital in its rimy grasp, there's never been a better time to check out some of Tokyo's best hot-spring baths – and we've got something for every taste and budget right here...

Vad händer om man tar en Guide Michelin-stjärnprydd krog och kombinerar den med den brittiska pubkulturen? En krog som placerat sig på första plats två år i rad i krogguiden White guide som vill skapa en bar med sin egenkomponerade öl? Jo, man får en 750 kvadratmeter stor krog i Gamla stan i Stockholm, en krog som presenterar sig med fyra olika delar och där öldelen sätts i centrum. Ett ölparadis kanske? Det handlar om the Flying Elk – ett nytillskott i den stockholmska krogfloran som lär locka många nya gäster.

Tokyo hasn't seen anything like this since the Bubble Era. Every night in a basement in Shinjuku's Kabukicho district, bikini-clad women stage mock battles using enormous robots – though it's more steroid-enhanced fairground attraction than modern-day Gundam. Fitted out at a cost of ¥10 billion, Robot Restaurant looks like something straight out of Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void, all migraine-inducing neon, video screens and mirrors (and if you think that's bad, just check the website).

Exploringtokyo.com brings you an in-depth look into the sights to see in and around Tokyo, with maps, directions, photo galleries, dinning suggestions and more.

There is nothing more exhilarating than finding your way through a foreign land and by yourself discovering the secrets, beauties and

excitement of the land (with a little help from some maps of course)

We at Exploringtokyo.com strongly urge the traveler to resist the convenience and security of travel

groups and tour guides, and

instead do something a little rash. Take a walk on the wild side and discover

the city yourself.
