Besides Tokyo Character Street, you may also be interested in Tokyo Ramen Street which is located in the same area. Among the many shops under Tokyo Station, there is a special narrow hallway lined with Japan’s most famous ramen restaurants. It is an extremely popular spot, so do expect long queues.
