Number 10, Oda, the futuristic Bay Area, a futuristic entertainment district on a man-made island in Tokyo Bay. Here you’ll find the life-sized unicorn Gundam statue, massive shopping complexes, and the interactive digital art museum, Team Lab Borderless. Tip: Visit in the evening to catch views of the Rainbow Bridge illuminated at night. It’s one of Tokyo’s most underrated skyline experiences. Number nine, Bueno Park and Museums. In spring, it’s lined with cherry blossoms, while it houses museums like the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Nature and Science, and Weno Zoo. Tip: Rent a swan boat on Shinaba Zazu Pond inside the park for a relaxing break from sightseeing. Number eight, Sukiji Outer Market. Though the wholesale tuna auctions moved to Toyosu, Sukiji is still buzzing with street food vendors, sushi counters, and stalls selling traditional Japanese ingredients. For food lovers, the Sukiji Outer Market is a must. Tip: Go in the morning for the freshest seafood and don’t leave without trying tamagoyaki. A sweet rolled omelette on a stick that’s cheap, tasty, and very local. Number seven, Akiabahara, anime and electronics district. Multi-story arcades, themed cafes, and endless shops make it paradise for fans of Japanese pop culture. Tip: Retro gamers shouldn’t miss Super Potato, a legendary shop filled with classic consoles and vintage games. Number six, Harajuku and Teesha Street. Harajuku, Tokyo’s playground of quirky fashion and youth culture. Teesha Street is filled with colorful crepes, cosplay shops, and themed cafes. Tip: Visit on a weekend for maximum energy and people watching, or stop by early on a weekday if you prefer a calmer vibe. Number five, Maji Shrine and Yoy Yogi Park. Surrounded by a dense forest, this Shinto shrine feels like an oasis in the middle of the city. Right next door, Yoy Yogi Park comes alive with picnics, cherry blossoms, and street performers. Tip: Sunday mornings are the best time to visit. It is less crowded, peaceful, and relaxing. Number four, Tokyo Skytree. At 634 m tall, it’s the tallest tower in the world and offers jaw-dropping panoramic views of the city. On clear days, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji. Tip: Book tickets online ahead of time to skip the lines and aim for late afternoon so you can watch Tokyo transition from day to night. Number three, Senoji Temple, Asakusa. Tokyo’s oldest and most iconic Buddhist temple. Enter through the Kamaraman Gate. Wander down Nakami Street filled with traditional snacks and souvenirs and step into the temple grounds for a dose of history and spirituality. Tip: Visit after dark when the temple is beautifully lit. It’s far less crowded and absolutely magical. Number two, Shinjuku skyscrapers and nightife. Shinjjuku is a district that never sleeps. By day, explore its skyscrapers and shopping. By night, dive into Golden Guy’s tiny but vibrant bars. Tip: For free city views, head up to the observation deck at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. It’s just as impressive as paid towers. Try the delicious Fungi Ramen. Their creamy chicken-based sucin dipping noodles are beloved by locals. Tip: Go right when it opens to avoid long lines. Number one, Shabuya Crossing and Hachiko statue. Shabuya Crossing. The world’s busiest pedestrian intersection and a true symbol of Tokyo’s energy. With every light change, hundreds, sometimes over 3,000 people during peak hours of sturge across from all directions in a perfectly choreographed chaos. Standing in the middle of it feels like you’re in a movie scene. Just outside the crossing, you’ll find the Hiko statue honoring the loyal dog who waited at Shabuya Station every day for nearly 10 years after his owner’s passing. It’s one of Tokyo’s most beloved meeting points and a story that touches visitors from around the world. But Shabuya isn’t just about the crossing. It’s a whole district pulsing with life. Towering digital billboards, endless shopping arcades, karaoke bars, and themed cafes make it one of the most exciting neighborhoods in Tokyo. The recently opened Shabuya Scramble Square and its rooftop observatory, Shabuya Sky, offer breathtaking 360° views over the city, especially magical at sunset. Tip: For the best views of the crossing itself, grab a seat at the Starbucks located in the Tutaya building or head into Shabuya Sky rooftop deck. If you want the full experience, time your visit for early evening. The neon signs are lit up, the crowds are at their peak, and the atmosphere is pure Tokyo magic. In Shibuya, you can find one of the most famous ramen in Japan, Ichiran Ramen, known for its rich tonkotu broth. Here, you can customize almost everything. The noodle texture, broth richness, spice level, and even the amount of green onions and garlic. This level of personalization makes every bowl perfect for your taste. Icheron is so popular that some locations have lines stretching around the corner. But don’t worry, the system is efficient and the wait is well worth it. Tip: The Shabuya branch is open 24 hours, making it a perfect late night stop after exploring the city’s night life. If you’re visiting during peak hours, try ordering through the ticket vending machine before getting in line. It saves time and keeps everything moving smoothly. Iron Ramen also has unique solo dining booths where you can focus purely on the flavor. For first timers, go with the classic tonkotu ramen and add a bit of Ichiran’s original spicy red sauce. It’s the signature flavor that locals and travelers rave about. People all over the world travel to Tokyo just to eat this ramen.
