Sakura Cafe & Restaurant

With terrace seating, fairy lights, a global array of comfort food (from fried calamari sandwiches to gapao rice) and beer, Sakura Cafe & Restaurant nails that old-school backpacker vibe. Its classic hostel breakfast – unlimited toast, jam and coffee for ¥350 (served from 4.30am to 11am) – is just as popular with locals as it is with guests staying at the adjacent Sakura Hotel Ikebukuro.
