What to expect
Ginza
Ginza is one of Tokyo’s most sophisticated and vibrant neighborhoods, known for its luxury shops, modern architecture and rich cultural history. Here is a description including some of its most iconic points: Mitsukoshi Ginza Kabukiza Theatre Nissan Crossing Ginza Six Ginza is a fascinating blend of tradition and modernity. While the Mitsukoshi and Kabukiza evoke Japan’s rich cultural heritage, the Nissan Crossing and the Ginza Six exemplify the innovation and contemporary design that define today’s Tokyo. It is a neighborhood that offers something for everyone, from luxury fashion and gastronomy to culture and technology.
Tsukiji Fish Market
Tsukiji Foreign Market (築地場外市場, Tsukiji Jōgai Shijō) is a district adjacent to the site of the former Atacadist Market of Tsukiji. It consists of a few blocks of wholesale and retail stores, as well as crowded restaurants in narrow streets. Here you can find fresh and processed seafood and foodstuffs, such as knives. A visit to Tsukiji’s overseas market is best combined with a fresh sushi breakfast or lunch at one of the local restaurants, which typically open from 5am to around noon or early afternoon. As most of the fish served and sold at the Tsukiji Outer Market is delivered directly at the Toyosu Market, it is one of the best places in Tokyo to taste fresh seafood.
Odaiba Kaihin Koen (Odaiba Seaside Park)
Odaiba Beachfront Park is on the shores of Tokyo Bay and offers excellent views of the metropolis from the artificial beach. See the Tokyo Tower and the Rainbow Bridge, both especially impressive after dark. The park is also a meeting point for seaside sports such as stand-up paddle and windsurfing, and its beach is a great place to relax after visiting the nearby shoppings.
Marunouchi Naka Street
Along the street, with beautiful trees on the edge of the road, there are shops of famous brands, elegant restaurants and cafes, office buildings and commercial facilities. You can enjoy the seasonal changes of the landscape. In autumn you can see the autumn leaves and in winter lighted trees decorate the street. Here are some of the recommended places on Marunouchi Naka-dori street that offer a variety of ways to spend your time. There are many commercial facilities, such as Marunouchi Bldg., Shin-Marunouchi Bldg. and Marunouchi BRICK SQUARE near the station of Tokyo and Nijubashi SQUARE and Kunigiwa (Kokusai Bldg.) near Hibiya station. In the facilities, you can find various tenants, such as clothing stores, luxurious specialty stores and cosmetics stores, as well as a wide variety of restaurants, such as Japanese and Italian cuisine, cafes, bars and the like. There is plenty to choose from for lunch and dinner.
Zōjō-ji
The Zojoji Temple (増上寺, Zōjōji) is the main temple of the Jodo sect of Japanese Buddhism in the Kanto region. Next to the Tokyo Tower, the temple plot consists of some impressive structures, as well as a Tokugawa family mausoleum and a small museum. Most of Zojoji's current buildings are recent reconstructions, except for the main gate, the Sangedatsumon, which survived many fires, earthquakes and wars and dates back to 1622.
ideal for travellers to have contact with the stunning urban landscape below. The modernist charm of the structure can be appreciated from the outside due to the illumination at night, but the real excitement comes when you climb to the top to enjoy the dynamic views of the city. At the base of the tower, there is a shopping complex called Foot Town, which has several international shops and restaurants. The height of the Tokyo Tower is easy to remember: 333 meters (1.029 feet) If you are ready enough, you can climb the 600-step staircase to the main deck instead of using the elevator The tower was the tallest structure in the country before the Tokyo Skytree surpassed it in 2010
Roppongi
With bold weekends and a mix of cultures, Roppongi has earned a reputation as an infamous enclave of Tokyo. However, with its vast selection of art galleries, high-end boutiques, historic and fascinating sites, in addition to incredible food, this high-end neighborhood has much to offer visitors of all kinds, night and day. Don't miss Visit all stops at the Roppongi Triangle of the Arts Shopping in Tokyo Midtown and Roppongi Hills Explore the region’s famous nightlife
Omotesando
Harajuku and Omotesando neighborhoods stand side by side, but are separate worlds. Both are centers of Japanese and international fashion, full of clothing shops, modern cafes, design offices and stylish locals strolling through the maze of the streets. However, their appearance is very distinct. The extravagant Harajuku candy tents with cheesecake-filled crepes and the typical theme cafes Takeshita Street in Harajuku is the center of Tokyo's street fashion scene Opposites are attracted While Harajuku is almost always at the forefront of the next major local trend, Omotesando is focused on the international and timeless. While Omotesando is turned to luxury brands, the streets of Harajuku are filled with brechó jackets and unusual accessories. Although the styles are different, these two Tokyo attractions share a unique sense of cultural harmony and mutual appreciation that are not seen anywhere else.
Shibuya
Shibuya (渋谷) is one of Tokyo's 23 districts, but generally refers only to the popular shopping and entertainment area found around Shibuya station. In this sense, Shibuya is one of the most colorful and bustling neighborhoods in Tokyo, full of shops, restaurants and night homes that serve the crowds of visitors who come to the neighborhood every day. Shibuya is a center of young fashion and culture, and its streets are the cradle of many of Japan’s fashion and entertainment trends. Numerous department stores and shopping centers can be found around the area, serving all types of buyers. Shibuya station and its surroundings are currently undergoing a major renovation, which lasts almost two decades. Several new buildings have been inaugurated in recent years, including Hikarie (in 2012), Stream (2018), Scramble Square (2019), Miyashita Park (2020) and Sakura Stage (2024)
Shinjuku
Shinjuku (新宿) is one of Tokyo's 23 districts, but the name generally refers only to the large entertainment, business and shopping area around Shinjuku station. Shinjuku Station is the busiest railway station in the world, transporting more than two million passengers every day. West of the station is the Shinjuku skyscraper district, which houses some of Tokyo's tallest buildings, including several first-line hotels and the twin towers of the Metropolitan Government Office, whose observation decks are open to the public for free. However, the eastern exit of the station is currently also a re-qualification site with impact on the flow of pedestrian traffic. Northeast of the station is Kabukicho, Japan’s largest and wildest red-light district, while department stores, underground shoppings and electronics stores surround Shinjuku Station on all four sides, including the remodeled Southern Terrace.
The Tokyo Skytree is a communications tower and one of the main tourist attractions of Tokyo, Japan: Height: The Tokyo Skytree is 634 metres high and is the largest communications tower in Japan and the second largest in the world. Location: The tower is located in Sumida, Tokyo. Inauguration: Tokyo Skytree was inaugurated on May 22, 2012. Views: The tower offers panoramic views of the city, including Mount Fuji on bright days. Observatories: The tower has two observatories, the Tembo Deck and the Tembo Galleria, with capacity for 2,000 and 900 people, respectively. Tembo Deck: Located 350 meters high, Tembo Deck has a glass floor. Tembo Gallery: Located 450 meters high, Tembo Galleria features glass walls. Skywalk: The upper observatory features a spiral glass skywalk, which takes visitors to the highest point of the tower.
Asakusa
Asakusa (浅草) is the center of the shitamachi (literally "low city" of Tokyo), one of Tokyo's districts, where a Tokyo atmosphere of the past decades survives. The main attraction of Asakusa is Sensoji, a very popular Buddhist temple, built in the 7th century. Access to the temple is made through the Nakamise, a shopping street that has for centuries offered temple visitors a variety of local traditional snacks and tourist souvenirs. Sensoji on a busy day For many centuries, Asakusa was the main entertainment district of Tokyo. During the Edo Period (1603-1867), when the district was still located outside the city boundaries, Asakusa was home to kabuki theatres and a large red-light district. However, large parts of Asakusa were destroyed in the airstrikes of 1945. And although the area around the reconstructed Sensoji has recovered its old popularity, the same cannot be said of the Asakusa entertainment district.
Akihabara
Akihabara, the electric city of Japan, is the epicenter of otaku culture, anime and out of the ordinary cafes Once an area with everything about devices and the latest releases in electronic items, Akihabara is now a uniform blend of mega stores of electric products, maid cafes and everything about anime stuff. Akihabara received its nickname Electric City because of the black market that emerged there after World War II. Some of the common items that were sold at that time included wires, cables, lamps and other electrical items. Although shops that offer a reminder of the ancient Akihabara still exist, currently Akiba is focused on otaku culture, including anime, manga, smartphones, games and items for maids and cosplay. An approximate translation of "otaku" is "geek". But unlike the connotations that "geek" has in English, "otaku" is more of a cultural identity proudly assumed by people who so call themselves.
