24 HOURS Eating at Japan's UNDERGROUND FOOD CITIES in Tokyo Japan

Aug 6, 2026

For over 24 hours I am eating at Japanese department store food halls, also known as depachika, in Tokyo. From fresh sushi and premium bento boxes to incredible desserts and street food-style snacks, I explore Tokyo’s hidden underground food cities packed beneath famous department stores.

These food halls are some of the most underrated food destinations in Japan, offering high-quality meals at every price point. I travel across Tokyo to try as many different dishes as possible.

Department stores I went to:
Keio
Odakyu
Isetan
