Astor Place, Tokyo

I knew it!

With the coffee house culture in Japan and the countless cafes on every corner in Tokyo, I just knew that there had to be a place in Tokyo where you can sit in one Starbucks and look out the window at another (see: Best in Show).  The other day, we found it!

Near the Tokyo Tower, this is the view from a front table at a branch of the infamous (notorious?) cafe chain.

As I've said before, one of the best things about Tokyo is that while Starbucks is ubiquitous, there are numerous competitors that give the coffee giant a run for their lattes. 

The one good thing Aaron discovered about Starbucks: you can order in English.
