Eki Beer Skytree terrace

Sink a few cold ones while gazing at the world's biggest TV antenna! Yes: Asakusa's Ekimise – the handsome, retro-style department store that sits atop the Tobu line station – is transforming its rooftop terrace into a beer garden for the duration of the summer. Men pay ¥4,200 and women ¥4,000 for two hours of all-you-can-drink booze, accompanied by a huge pot of chanko shabu-shabu, an unlikely hybrid of shabu-shabu and the chanko nabe stews beloved of sumo wrestlers.
