Discover the vibrant city of Tokyo and immerse yourself in its rich culture, history, and modern marvels.

Tokyo is an uncanny blend of modern and tradition, which means that some things never change and others change rapidly. This is also true for its places to visit, whether you are here for 24 hours or longer. Start at Sensoji in Asakusa, go up to Sky tree, then head back to the center at Ginza, catch the Tsukiji Fish market for some morning grub– very delicious bowls of fresh sushi, clams, oysters and ramen. After this head to Ginza proper, a 10 minute walk, and shop at 11 story Uniqlo.

Then head to Shibuya and Yoyogi park for an afternoon stroll. Remember to catch the view from the newly built Shibuya sky. You can also see Mount Fuji from here. Then stroll through the Meiji Jingu Shrine and gardens and take picture with the sake barrels. Get some cool shopping done at Harajuku, eating crepes, and then head to the park and shrine for a stroll and catch the crowds picnicking, laughing and generally enjoying the day. From ancient temples to futuristic skyscrapers, there is something for everyone.

For anime and manga fans, a a visit to Akihabara is a must. Take the subway to the same named stop and just stroll the streets. All stores are clearly visible, and as you pop in and out of them, eying figurines of your favorite characters, a wave of fulfillment will wash over you.

For go karting enthusiasts, you must try Monkey Kart. Dress up as your favorite character and drive in the busy streets of Tokyo in Shibuya, Shinjuku or Harajuku. There is a takeaway picture of your ride at the end so smile and enjoy the ride.

Spending some time in Shinjuku will let you witness the world’s busiest subway station in action. Any exit is a good exit, but we recommend B6 or A6. Both will lead to interesting paths! Shinjuku is also the home the Godzilla at the Gracie Hotel. Yes, you can take a picture with the Godzilla on the terrace of the hotel.

If here for longer, venture to Golden Gai for micro bars, it’s an interesting experience, but past it’s heyday. Shinjuku is also home to the Park Hyatt hotel, as well as the Tokyo Metropolitan Building Observatory. This is free observation deck for you to catch the city vista, and now also has an evening illumination on the buildings.

For a feel of a local residential areas, spend an afternoon in Nakameguro. It’s a charming neighborhood, which also has the Starbucks Roastery, the largest in the world. The river runs though the neighborhood, and the bridges alongside it create a charming atmosphere, with restaurants and shop lined along them.
