GPOD 23: FINDING NON SMOKING CAFES IN TOKYO


One annoying aspect that I find with living in Japan is the widespread social acceptance of smoking. Despite statistics showing that the smoking rate in Japan is less than 20%, walk into any izakaya and that number will feel more like 80%.

Many restaurants in Japan will have non-smoking sections but no attempt is made to properly separate the smoking and non-smoking sections. For non-smokers, this makes finding a nice restaurant or cafe to eat at a challenge.

On this episode of the GPod, I talk to Brad Stephenson from 25Cafes which is a website dedicated to reviewing the best 100% smoke free cafes in Tokyo.

Park Side Cafe in Ueno Park

Park Side Cafe has quickly become one of my favourite cafes in Tokyo since it opened. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food and drink of very good quality and the staff genuinely friendly and professional. Read the full review on 25Cafes.

DNS Power Cafe in Nakano Park

Due to its energetic atmosphere, DNS Caf└ probably isn¨t the best place for a romantic date but with its variety of seating options it is more than suitable for a lunch with friends, people watching or getting a little work done. Read the full review on 25Cafes.

Streamers Coffee Company in Harajuku

Despite its rather central location, Streamer Coffee Company is often fairly quiet, which is a nice change from the line-ups which often manifest at other Harajuku cafes and restaurants. Read the full review on 25Cafes.
