Hi, I’m Toshi from Japan and tourist guide for foreigners. In this video, I will show you top 25 things to do in Tokyo. Welcome to Tokyo, the bustling capital of Japan, where traditional culture meets modern innovation! Tokyo is Japan’s largest city, with approximately 14 million people living here.

In this vibrant metropolis, skyscrapers coexist with ancient temples, offering a diverse blend of experiences. Discover the iconic landmarks such as the historic Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, a gateway to Tokyo’s rich cultural heritage. Stroll through the lively streets of Shibuya, famous for its bustling crossing and trendy fashion stores.

Immerse yourself in the high-tech world of Akihabara, known as Electric Town, where anime, manga, and cutting-edge electronics converge. From the serenity of traditional gardens to the energy of neon-lit streets, Tokyo offers an unforgettable blend of tradition and innovation, inviting you to explore and create lasting memories.

I think that this video will help you prepare for traveling Japan for both first-time travelers and those who have visited Tokyo many times. Come along with me as we discover what makes Tokyo so special. So, let’s get started. ASAKUSA Area No1 is Sensoji Temple.

Asakusa Temple stands out as one of Tokyo’s prime tourist spots, attracting around 30 million visitors annually from both within Japan and abroad. The striking red lanterns adorning the Kaminarimon Gate at the entrance serve as the symbol of Asakusa, while the surrounding area boasts the charming streetscape of old Edo.

It’s the oldest temple in Tokyo, and many tourists stroll around wearing traditional Japanese attire, allowing for a genuine experience of Japan’s traditional culture. Here, you can enjoy the tradition of drawing omikuji, a fortune-telling paper strip predicting one’s luck for the year. My fortune was ‘Sho-kichi,’ considered an average luck level.

However, compared to a previous visit where I got ‘Dai-kyo,’ the worst fortune, it’s definitely a much better result. If you come to Japan, please try drawing an omikuji and fortune-telling your luck. No2 is Nakamise Street.

Passing through the Thunder Gate in Asakusa, you’ll find yourself in Nakamise-dori, a nostalgic shopping street brimming with the atmosphere of the Taisho and Showa eras. This street is one of Japan’s oldest shopping districts, stretching about 250 meters and housing a total of 89 shops, including souvenir stores and eateries.

Adorned with uniformed electric signs and vibrant storefront decorations, Nakamise-dori boasts the nostalgic charm of a traditional downtown area. Here, you’ll find a variety of traditional Japanese sweets and souvenirs available for purchase.

Being a pathway to Asakusa Temple, it’s an ideal spot to immerse yourself in the old-fashioned ambiance of Japan while indulging in local snacks and treats. Take a leisurely stroll and enjoy the experience! No3 is Asakusa Menchi.

Located off the bustling Nakamise-dori in Asakusa, on the adjacent Denpo-in Street, is a delightful shop called ‘Asakusa Menchi,’ specializing in deep-fried minced meat cutlets that will satisfy your taste buds. Bite into its crispy outer layer to reveal a tender minced meat filling, bursting with juicy flavors.

They use premium Japanese-brand pork, making it incredibly delicious. The taste is so savory; it might even prompt a craving for a cold beer to complement it perfectly. Next time, I’m definitely planning to pair it with a refreshing beer. No4 is Asakusa Silk Pudding.

This renowned spot, ‘Asakusa Silk Pudding,’ is famed for its delectable pudding that melts in your mouth like silk. Its richness, akin to silk, is highlighted by the dense egg flavor, delivering a delightful and fluffy texture, making it a top-tier pudding.

While they offer various flavors, I opted for the classic pudding this time. Served in a jar embellished with images of Asakusa’s landmarks, it’s a popular souvenir among tourists. If you’re feeling weary from walking, I highly recommend taking a break here, indulging in something sweet, and unwinding. No5 is Rickshaw.

Asakusa is globally renowned as a tourist hub where you’ll often spot traditional rickshaws traversing the streets. Rickshaws offer a convenient way to explore tourist spots while gaining insights from staff about gourmet hotspots and hidden gems. While there are recommended routes, they’re flexible and accommodate your preferences.

Prices vary based on the route and duration. Utilizing a rickshaw to navigate Asakusa’s attractions not only allows you to visit landmarks but also offers a unique and enjoyable travel experience, different from using trains or buses. It’s sure to create cherished memories. No6 is TOKYO SKYTREE.

The Tokyo Skytree, opened in May 2012, stands tall at 634 meters, holding the title of the ‘World’s Tallest Tower,’ officially certified by Guinness World Records. The breathtaking view from its observation decks offers a unique and unparalleled spectacle, truly a world-class experience.

Housing a variety of attractions like an aquarium and a planetarium, as well as a diverse range of shops at ‘Tokyo Solamachi,’ the complex offers an array of dining and souvenir options, promising an enjoyable stroll through its expansive premises.

Ntegrated with office buildings, the Skytree and its surrounding facilities form what is known as the ‘Tokyo Skytree Town.’ Conveniently located about 1 kilometer from Asakusa, it’s easily accessible, making it an ideal addition to an Asakusa tour.

Not far away, you’ll also find a distinctive golden building, Asahi Beer’s headquarters, shaped like a beer jug, adding a unique charm to the area. SHIBUYA Area No7 is SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE.

Welcome to Shibuya Scramble Square, a state-of-the-art complex that opened its doors on November 1st, 2019, marking a new chapter in Shibuya’s architectural landscape. Towering at approximately 230 meters, it stands as the tallest building in the Shibuya district.

This multifaceted establishment boasts the pinnacle of Shibuya’s observation facilities, ‘SHIBUYA SKY,’ along with a shopping zone featuring fashion, miscellaneous goods, cafes, and restaurants, and an office space situated in its high-rise floors.

I recently visited ‘SHIBUYA SKY’ with friends at night and was mesmerized by the breathtaking night view of Shibuya’s cityscape from a height of around 230 meters. The panoramic 360-degree view was simply stunning.

Furthermore, the indoor facilities offer free attractions, souvenir shops, restaurants, making it a must-visit attraction among Shibuya’s many iconic destinations. No8 is The Statue of Hachiko. The bronze statue of Hachiko in Shibuya is Japan’s most famous meeting spot, recognized by nearly every local living in Tokyo.

The Hachiko statue is modeled after a real Akita dog named ‘Hachiko,’ which became a symbol of loyalty. This statue commemorates Hachiko’s unwavering loyalty, as the dog continued to wait at Shibuya Station for his deceased owner for nearly ten years after his passing.

This touching story led to the creation of this iconic statue right by Shibuya Station. When I first visited Shibuya as a high school student, taking a photo with this statue became a cherished memory. It’s an ideal spot to gather with friends or take photographs when visiting Japan.

I highly recommend stopping by this spot to experience a piece of Japanese history and create your own memorable moments with this statue of Hachiko. SHINJUKU Area No9 is Shinjuku Kabukicho. Shinjuku’s Kabukicho is Japan’s largest entertainment district, situated in the northeastern part of Shinjuku Station.

It’s a hub for restaurants, gaming establishments, cinemas, and more. Notable features include buildings with life-sized Godzilla heads and the eye-catching exterior of the ‘Tokyu Kabukicho Tower,’ completed in April 2023. These places offer abundant entertainment options.

However, it’s essential to note that, as mentioned in previous videos, there have been scams targeting foreign tourists. A cautionary point is to avoid following staff, often called ‘catches,’ who try to guide you to certain Japanese bars while standing in the streets. Many encounters result in overcharging and other potential scams.

It’s highly advisable to research and check reviews online , before visiting any particular establishment to ensure a pleasant experience. No10 is Omoide Yokocho Shinjuku. Omoide Yokocho, situated along the alley leading from Shinjuku’s Omoide Dori to the west exit, is a charming drinking alley known for its retro vibes.

Amidst the towering buildings and bustling atmosphere of Shinjuku, Omoide Yokocho stands out as a vivid throwback to another era, almost transporting you to a different world upon your first visit. This nostalgic alleyway has garnered immense popularity both domestically and internationally, attracting tourists daily.

However, it’s essential to note that being a tourist spot, the restaurant prices here can be slightly higher than usual. Nevertheless, the unique ambiance and experience make it worth a visit. Despite the elevated prices, the allure of this place, rich in character and history, is something that’s hard to come by elsewhere.

If you come to Tokyo, I highly recommend paying a visit and immersing yourself in this distinctive atmosphere. No11 is Shinjuku’s Golden Gai District. Golden Gai, located within Shinjuku’s Kabukicho, is a quaint alleyway boasting over 200 tiny, deep-seated bars.

Amidst the towering buildings and neon signs of Kabukicho, Golden Gai offers a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of Japan’s Showa era. Recently, it has gained popularity not only among regulars but also among foreign tourists seeking an authentic Japanese experience.

These cozy establishments have an at-home feel, but be warned that carrying large luggage or suitcases is strictly prohibited. Expect limited space, so it’s advisable to travel light and keep only the essentials. Given the small size of these bars, striking up conversations with staff and fellow patrons becomes second nature.

Many here can converse in English, fostering an enjoyable nightlife experience. Embrace the atmosphere and make the most of this unique gem in Tokyo! No12 is Observatories, Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building houses the administration of Tokyo, the capital city of Japan.

One of its highlights is the observation deck, welcoming numerous tourists daily to marvel at the breathtaking views from a height of 202 meters. The stunning vistas draw both local and international visitors seeking a glimpse of Tokyo’s beauty. Surprisingly, entry to the observatory is entirely free of charge.

However, due to its immense popularity, wait times vary based on the day of the week and the season. During my visit, the wait was approximately 15 minutes, while the elevator ride down took about 20 minutes.

The observation deck operates until 10 PM, making it an ideal spot to admire the city lights after enjoying a meal. It’s an experience not to be missed, offering a captivating perspective of Tokyo’s nightscape. No13 is Don Quijote Shinjuku Kabukicho.

Don Quijote is a comprehensive discount store chain present in major Japanese cities, including Shinjuku’s Kabukicho area. They offer a wide range of products, from everyday items to food and alcoholic beverages, and also have numerous Tokyo and Japan-specific souvenirs.

With a diverse selection and reasonable prices, it’s an enjoyable shopping experience for foreigners visiting Japan. Among them, cosplay items like ninja, uniforms, and maid costumes are particularly popular. For those planning to purchase drinks or meals, it’s recommended to shop here as convenience stores might have higher prices.

Don Quijote provides a fantastic experience with its affordable pricing and extensive options, significantly enhancing your travel experience in Japan. No14 is Capsule Hotel. Tokyo has experienced a steep rise in hotel prices due to overtourism in recent times. Compared to pre-2019, hotel rates have surged by around 25% in Tokyo.

In response, capsule hotels have emerged as a traveler’s ally, offering a unique experience that embodies Japan’s distinctive culture. Not only are they affordable, but they also provide a one-of-a-kind stay. These hotels offer cozy and comfortable compact private sleeping pods. It’s akin to having your own little cocoon for the night.

Beyond the pods, many feature shared spaces, facilities, and even access to traditional Japanese communal baths, providing an authentic onsen experience. While this concept might seem unusual to foreigners, it’s a clever and efficient solution to the challenge of limited space in Japan’s bustling cities.

Found throughout Tokyo, I stayed in one located in Shinjuku’s Kabukicho district for just 3000 yen ($21) per night. When visiting Japan, consider trying out this unique accommodation. Not only is it budget-friendly, but it also creates enduring memories of your time in Japan. ROPPONGI Area No15 is Azabudai Hills.

Welcome to Azabudai Hills, a recently opened complex inaugurated on November 24th, 2023. This compound houses offices, residential areas, high-end hotels, and commercial facilities, situated in the affluent neighborhood of Roppongi, known for its luxurious real estate in Tokyo.

Standing tall at 330 meters, matching the height of Tokyo Tower, it proudly claims the title of Japan’s tallest structure. The centerpiece of this uniquely designed building is a central plaza, a serene spot adorned with ample greenery, inviting visitors to relax and unwind.

Inside, the commercial zone hosts a plethora of high-end stores and restaurants, showcasing luxury brands and offering diverse culinary experiences. Whether it’s a weekend shopping spree or a special date, Azabudai Hills caters to various interests and indulgences.” UENO Area No16 is Ameyoko Shopping Street.

Welcome to Ameya Yokocho, also known as Ameyoko, in Ueno! This bustling street market has a fascinating history, starting as a post-war black market and evolving into a vibrant marketplace drawing visitors from all over the world.

Lined with a diverse array of stalls and shops, you’ll find everything from sweets, food, clothes, to various goods. It’s a go-to spot for souvenirs and unique finds, attracting both tourists and locals alike.

What sets Ameyoko apart is its international flair, boasting Chinese and Middle Eastern-inspired stores with a staff that reflects Tokyo’s cosmopolitan vibe, making it a truly eclectic experience. It’s renowned for offering reasonably priced seafood bowls, and I personally enjoyed a satisfying lunch here.

You can indulge in these delights for as little as 500 yen ($3.5). A walk through Ameyoko is an immersion into Tokyo’s diverse culture, a vibrant hub where the past meets the present, and a delightful stop for anyone seeking a mix of local charm and international flavors. No17 is Ueno Park.

Welcome to Ueno Park, one of Japan’s oldest and most beloved parks, offering a haven for leisure activities like strolls, jogs, and picnics, enjoyed by many. The park hosts a range of attractions including the National Museum, art galleries, and Ueno Zoo, catering to both adults and children, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience.

Highlighting its charm are the changing landscapes with each season, showcasing nature’s beauty, serene ponds, and vast open spaces. Renowned as a cherry blossom hotspot, the park becomes a magnet for visitors during the cherry blossom viewing season, offering breathtaking views.

In autumn, the park transforms into a mesmerizing crimson wonderland, attracting crowds with vibrant foliage. When I visited at the end of November, the autumn colors were at their peak, painting a stunning portrait of nature’s palette. No18 is Yanaka Ginza.

Welcome to Yanaka Ginza Shopping Street, one of the thriving traditional shopping districts in Tokyo’s downtown. This bustling street houses numerous small independent shops selling everyday essentials like meats, fish, vegetables, and homemade traditional side dishes, even offering a variety of tea and Japanese sweets.

It’s a popular spot not only among locals but also among tourists. I visited a renowned deli here and tried their minced cutlet, locally known as ‘Menchi Katsu.’ I also grabbed a bento box and enjoyed it at a nearby park; it was truly delightful.

One of the highlights here is a Middle Eastern restaurant called ‘Zakuro,’ offering Turkish goods and the option to dine in. I’ve been there before, and the staff were fun and the food was very delicious.

Plus, there’s a staircase known as ‘Yuuyake Dandan,’ leading to Yanaka Ginza, where you can catch a beautiful sunset and feel a sense of nostalgia. KICHIJOJI Area No19 is Eating around Kichijoji Shopping Street.

Welcome to Kichijoji, a vibrant neighborhood nestled in Musashino City, Tokyo. Known for consistently ranking among the most desired places to live, Kichijoji boasts an array of attractions.

Despite being home to large-scale commercial facilities like department stores and shopping malls, the area maintains a local community vibe with its rooted shopping streets and independent shops. Today, we’ll explore the shopping street located at the north exit of the station.

This area is famous for its ‘tabearuki’ culture, where you can take out food from various shops and enjoy it while strolling around. I had the chance to taste a variety of local delicacies here. First up, ‘Satou’ offers a mouthwatering minced cutlet that consistently draws long queues.

Made from domestic Wagyu beef, this juicy minced cutlet is truly delicious. Next, we have ‘Tenne,’ a shop renowned for its ‘taiyaki’ with wings. Taiyaki is a beloved Japanese snack filled with sweet red bean paste, shaped like the auspicious sea bream fish.

The crispy texture paired with the sweet filling is a delightful combination. Lastly, ‘Tsukada Kamaboko’ is well-known for ‘hanpen’ and ‘satsuma-age.’ Hanpen, a popular Japanese home-cooked dish, is made by mixing fish paste with yam, shaping it, and then boiling it. I enjoyed this treat in the nearby Inokashira Park. No20 is Inokashira Park.

Welcome to Inokashira Park, located on the southern side of Kichijoji Station. It’s an urban oasis brimming with natural beauty, offering a serene escape for city dwellers. The park boasts Inokashira Pond, where visitors can enjoy boating on duck-shaped pedal boats, relax on the benches scattered around, and catch free street performances.

It’s an ideal spot to unwind, a bit away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I personally grabbed some snacks from the Kichijoji shopping district, made it my snack-time treat, and spent a peaceful moment by myself. Whether you’re with family, a partner, or exploring solo, there’s something here for everyone.

AKIHABARA Area No21 is Maid Cafe. Maid cafes have become a popular attraction in Tokyo, drawing tourists from abroad to experience their unique charm. Found primarily in Akihabara and Ikebukuro, these cafes cater not only to men but also to women and couples.

At a maid cafe, guests are addressed as ‘master’ or ‘mistress,’ creating a friendly atmosphere where maids proactively engage with customers. These cafes offer more than just delicious food and drinks; they include special services like maids casting spells to make your order ‘tastier.’

Moreover, these establishments often feature live shows where maids sing and dance for entertainment. However, many cafes prohibit photography of their staff. Instead, for a fee, you can take a commemorative photo with the maid.

Despite these rules, maid cafes provide an intriguing glimpse into Japan’s unique culture and they are very famous tourist spot. If you come to Japan, it’s definitely an experience worth trying. No22 is Akihabara Radio Kaikan. The Akihabara Radio Kaikan was initially established as a complex dealing with electronic components and radio-related products.

It quickly gained popularity among electronics enthusiasts, radio fans, manufacturers, and engineers, serving as an intriguing destination for those seeking rare components or specialized gadgets.

However, it has evolved beyond that – now, it’s not just about electronic parts but also hosts a variety of items like cards, figurines, and model kits, blending new Akihabara culture into its eclectic mix. When I visited, it was bustling with fans from both Japan and abroad, creating an energetic atmosphere.

Moreover, they now sell confectionery featuring anime characters like cookies and cakes, making it a great spot for souvenir shopping. No23 is Yodobashi Camera Akiba Store. Yodobashi Camera is a chain of electronic retail stores spread across Japan.

They offer a wide range of products, from cameras, computers, and household appliances to toys, books, music, and games. Among their numerous stores, the Akihabara store stands out for its focus on electronics and anime-related items.

Specifically catering to enthusiasts in these realms, the store offers unique, niche products such as collectible figures, plastic models, and specialized gadgets that appeal to fans of electronics and anime.

Whether you’re into electronics and anime or not, visiting this store can be an enjoyable experience just to witness the variety of items they offer. So, it’s definitely worth a visit. KOMAGOME Area No24 is Rikugien Gardens.

The Rikugien Gardens is a quintessential example of an Edo-period feudal lord’s garden, constructed by a shogun around 300 years ago. It reflects a bright and open-minded ambiance that characterized the Edo era. Comprising six distinct gardens, Rikugien offers an array of landscapes that captivate visitors throughout the year.

You can enjoy the spring cherry blossoms, lush summer greens, and especially the breathtaking autumn foliage, which I had the pleasure of experiencing alongside a viewer I met through YouTube and a local Japanese friend. The fall colors illuminated at night were particularly stunning.

My foreign friends were deeply impressed, expressing how they felt the essence of Japan in the remarkable scenery. With each season presenting a different picturesque view, it’s a place where you can relish the diverse beauty that Japan has to offer. I highly recommend enjoying the landscape during the time of your visit.

SHIN-OKUBO Area No25 is Koreatown Shin-Okubo. Shin Okubo, also known as ‘Koreatown,’ is Tokyo’s largest Korean town, situated just one station away from JR Shinjuku Station. You might wonder, ‘Why visit Koreatown while in Japan?’ Well, this spot isn’t just for locals but also cherished by tourists from around the world.

It’s a hub for Korean culture, bustling with trendy young crowds interested in Korean cuisine, idols, fashion, and more. Here, you’ll find numerous restaurants and cafes offering delightful Korean dishes, allowing you to savor authentic Korean cuisine.

The area boasts shops selling a variety of Korean-related products such as cosmetics, fashion, K-pop merchandise, DVDs of Korean dramas and movies, and idol-related goods. It’s immensely popular among the younger crowd. Many stores are staffed by Korean students or individuals from Korea, making it easy to communicate in Korean.

Additionally, you’ll find staff fluent in Japanese, creating a welcoming atmosphere. This place serves as a convergence of Japanese and Korean cultures, offering various experiences. Enjoy exploring Korea from a Japanese perspective. How was 25 things to do in Tokyo? Please share your thoughts in the comment section.

  1. An interesting assortment of activities around Tokyo. The narrator (not the host) is distractingly poor at pronouncing location names. There is also a decided lack of proper pauses in the commentary. Otherwise, the selection of sights and foods is skillfully curated. It seems that the narrator is reading the script for the first time. Perhaps a bit of practice is in order.
