Japan
This branch of Starbucks is located at the busy Shinjuku intersection on the first floor. Get in there and grab a window seat and sit and watch Tokyo go by outside.

If you are interested in Manga, Anime and Vintage Tin Toys then Nakano Broadway Shopping mall is a must! While you are there look for the Classic Cafe... an eccentric coffee house that dates back to the 1930s... creaky sloping floors... decoesque wooden and leather furniture... worn out clocks and gramaphones... haunting classical music drifting out from a scratchy old soundsystem...
When your eyes adjust to the wonderful gloom you may realise you are not alone... slowly becoming aware of other patrons resting in the shadows...
Difficult to find... Impossible to forget...
Nakano station. North exit.
Enter Nakano Broadway Shopping mall and after around two minutes walk... the Classic Cafe is down one of the small streets to the left.
Grab a seat upstairs by the window on a Saturday afternoon and watch Tokyo’s smart set as they do the rounds of designer clothes shops, department stores and the nearby Apple Store. The cappuccino isn’t bad, either.
Near the main pedestrian crossing in Ginza; also branches all over the city
