You will be heading in the right direction when you pass blg 109 on&nbsp;your right.&nbsp;Go past&nbsp;the KFC and&nbsp;take a right at the 7-11. It is on the right hand side about a block away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sounds easy. But, just know that Tokyo is confusing. It took me three tries, 4 websites,&nbsp;2 maps and a tourist information booth&nbsp;to figure it out.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We walked in on a Sunday night at 8:00 without reservations and were told it would be ten minutes. At the time the &#8220;show&#8221; was on and we couldn&#8217;t be seated during it. I had (&amp; still have)&nbsp;no idea what the show was, but if you get there before eight let me know. We waited in a purposely&nbsp;grungy lobby where the bathrooms were located. It all set the tone for the odd experience we were about to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-b8aca93d\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-b8aca93d\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_2027-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo Themed Restaurant\" title=\"Themed restaurant\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_2027-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/09\/IMG_2027-800x533-300x199.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2013\/09\/IMG_2027-800x533-150x99.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to open the doors to restaurant you must punch the big red button with your blood type; A, B, AB, O. Then you will walk through a corridor to the jail cells. Each cell is a private dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter and I were led up a short set of stairs to our cell, with a ceiling low enough to have to&nbsp;have to stoop. We were directed to our &#8220;cell&#8221;, where the only seats were cushions on the floor. After, we were given a picture menu and instructed to bang on the metal bars for service, which many of the patrons were already doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nurse uniformed servers were nice enough to give us an English menu which feature such items as beer in a urine bottle and sausage in the shape of a bowel movement.
