I Love Ireland Festival – Yoyogi Park<\/h2>\n
While you are in the area, and you are still feeling a touch of the ‘Oirish’, then you should get yourself down to the I Love Ireland Festival in Yoyogi Park. Taking place over the whole weekend (March 18-19) they will be celebrating 60 years of Japan’s diplomatic relations with Ireland. There you will find face painting, live traditional musical shenanigans, and more than likely a glass of Guinness or two. To get a feel for what you can expect, check out their Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Irish Bars in Tokyo<\/h2>\n
Without wanting to lean on lazy stereotypes, there is something about the Irish and drinking. Wherever I have been in the world, whether it be Gothenburg or Kathmandu, I have stumbled across an Irish bar.\u00a0In Tokyo, they abound. Here are just a few that you can head to in order to celebrate all things Emerald Isle.<\/p>\n
The Dubliners Irish Pub<\/h3>\n
Quite probably the best known of the Irish pubs around Tokyo, Dubliners have branches in Shinagawa, Akasaka, Shibuya, Ibebukuro and Shinjuku. Irish drinks include Guinness, Kilkenny, Magners cider as well as Jameson’s whiskey.\u00a0The food is more of the standard pub grub, although they do do a full fried breakfast (though no white pudding, so it’s not exactly authentic Irish).<\/p>\n

An Solas<\/h3>\n
Owned by a regular of the British Embassy Football Club,\u00a0An Solas is very much a paid up member of the ex-pat community. Some evenings see live celtic music\u00a0performances in this traditional style pub, as well as\u00a0the occasional Guinness Seminar. It’s also a great place to watch the rugby, and there are a dozen types of Irish whiskey to choose from.<\/p>\n

Failte<\/h3>\n
Considered by some to be one of the better Irish pubs in Shibuya, Failte has been going for over nine years now. As well as the obligatory Guinness, they also have guest ales coming in, and at the time of writing you can try a very decent Marstons’ Oyster Stout (though check their website for more up to date listings). The food is also a bit different than you might\u00a0expect from a pub, with horse carpaccio and chicken terrine on the menu.<\/p>\n
