Hitori: The Tokyo bar for solo drinkers only cnn.com

Tokyo (CNN) — Tokyo is a city filled with tiny spaces, so it's not unusual for bars or restaurants to have room for a dozen patrons or fewer.
But Hitori, a bar in the chic Shinjuku district, stands out from the neighborhood's many standing-room-only establishments by encouraging a slightly different clientele.
At Hitori, guests can simply enjoy the solitude or politely make small talk with other drinkers, something that isn't always common.
The bar's drink menu is also surprisingly affordable in expensive Tokyo, which is one reason that several of the bar's patrons gave for visiting.
Whatever "hitori" may mean to you, Hitori is a welcome place for it.
