Lots of new things have opened in Tokyo over the past year – and there’s lots coming up over the next few years! Here’s a round-up of things to look forward to on your next Japan trip.
There’s been a lot of news about what’s closed down over the past year, during 2020 and 2021. But there’ve been lots of new things too! In this video I share some of the tourist attractions, shops and restaurants that have opened, mostly in Tokyo but also a few from the rest of Japan. Including the new Shibuya Parco, other new shops in Shibuya, Shibuya Sky, the Studio Ghibli theme park, Nintendo museum and hotel, a Godzilla ride, new areas at Tokyo Disneyland, a new observation deck at Fuji-Q Highland new Mount Fuji and more!

Nice Video here I would love to visit the Gundam Museum there in Yokohama, Japan looks like a great place to visit if you are a Gundam fan of the series. Both of the Nintendo & Capcom Stores are on my to list when visiting Japan when it's safe I'm a huge fan of both of these Japanese companies for years.
Great video as usual. Entertaining, informative, and hopeful.
There is also Toshimaen amusement park that closed in early 2020 and it is being transformed into a Harry Potter themed park scheduled to open in spring 2023.
Greatest loss is the One Piece Amusement Park. I’ll miss it and wish I could’ve visited one last time.
Bet you cannot wait to go back to Tokyo, Amy 🙂
I'd love to visit the new Dragon Quest island
OMG, my list is a mile long. I might just have to move there for a couple of months. Thank you for the great places to visit.
Uhh Teamlab Planets has been extended? Now I do really have a reason to visit Tokyo in 2022 again. I planned on going to Osaka first and then down to Kyushu, but I guess one or two days of Tokyo will be within my planning 😀
March 2022 for the Gundam factory? I think the pandemic didnt help it much at all to keep it open for longer. I'm hoping to be able to travel there before it closes.
I can't wait for the gachapon shop!
Thanks again – but do not forget that as well as the Kit Kat place – they have the “grown up” store Ghibli brand GBL in Miyashita park 🙂
Aw man, not the robot restaurant… chaos kitchen looks sick thou
That Gundum is huge.. i only saw the one in Odaiba..wanna visit this new moving one
Looking forward to Shibuya Scramble Square observatory. Wonder if the Yokohama Gundam is bigger than the Odaiba one??
That Fuji sky walk thing with the harness on would be awesome!!!
Man I can't wait to go back, I'm hoping Late Jan/Feb is gonna happen.
Thanks for the video and great info on new stuff to look forward to, you're the best 😁
Seems the Tokyo Snoopy museum also reopened during 2020/covid times, maybe something else for your list!
I love the new upload you posted about upcoming things happening, especially the Studio Ghibli theme park! 😍 Is that a Hamster gatchapon collectible as a necklace you're wearing? If so, it's really cute! 😊
Amy, thank you so much for this video. My wife and I always look forward to your new videos, and this one has us even more excited to get to Japan next year!
So many of those new things around Tokyo are absolutely brilliant.
I will never understand how public people have to say awful words,laughing or doing horrible things to a person with colors in their hair like wiping out their camera to tape that person having color hair dye saying (this gurl has hair dye blue teal hair & i will be posting it on YouTube or Facebook for proof) like you can't to do that.that's disrespecting somebody's privacy a person wearing hair dye isn't your worries walking around with any colors in a person's hair shouldn't be a wrong thing it's just a color but people R staring at you for the hair just walk away & don't look back or If it's a real problem people being very curl to you then go back to your natural hair & make a new hairstyle.that' s what I did.i tell my mom (why am I people's worries) or even making fun of somebody wearing colors in her or his hair if you blend in with the world that's cool but I don't i all ways have a problem going out in public people all ways have to say something about me.we R human I shouldn't be treated badly for how a person I am.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ people see me as a thing & they want me off this earth.🌍
I still have my trip booked for mid September only because I have until the first week of Sept to cancel. I am crossing fingers, toes, eyes, everything! LOL Not holding my breath but we can all wish!
I just got my second dose and the possibility of a Japan trip has just gotten closer! So I started to read your book. A small confession: I bought the book because I liked your videos and wanted to support your channel a bit. My review: that's a really great book! Its not very often that I smile when I read but I have been doing that a lot lately. Nice job 🙂
I miss the train station jingles
The Tamiya shop!
Suica cards!
Bento boxes
Shinkansen
Asimo
Yurikamome line
Starbucks at shibuya
Hakodate
The list goes on!
Thanks Amy for keeping the dream alive, hope for a return in 2022

Mmm, Sunshine in Ikebukero. That's the one with the Pokémon Center right? Had a delicious lunch at Wako there (Tonkatsu menus for just under 15€/$) and a surprise launch gig for Airi's Escape album. Gonna drag my sis to Ghibli Park then, the museum made me love it.
Won't recommend putting all those gachas in your luggage unless you want to see a big surprised smile at security when flying home
I have been following the development of the Studio Ghibli Theme Park since it was first announced in 2015/2016. I cannot wait! 🙂
Oo so many new things for our next trip
Hey Amy! 👋🏻 Have you heard of Tokyo Toys opening a store in Sidcup?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great video – I'm really excited about the Studio Ghibli theme park.
I need to buy your book 🤩 I miss Japan so much, still sad that my 2020 trip did not work out…
I didn't know about new Fuji Q attractions
LOVE YOU JAPAN FROM ALGERIA 🇩🇿🇯🇵🇩🇿🇯🇵🇩🇿🇯🇵🇩🇿🇯🇵

why I only found ur channel now
One closure i'm most sad over is Studio Crown. It was a place in Akihabara that would do your makeup and dress you up in cosplay. Been trying to find something similar since but no luck 🙁
Makes me so sad… I've been dreaming of going to Akihabara… Not sure when that will be possible. 🙁
Thank you Amy for an informative video about recent developments in Tokyo ! and I couldn't help to get distracted by that cute hamster necklace of yours 😄
i lived in tokyo for 16 years (i'm in fukuoka now)…I haven't been back in 4 years (except for my 3 day visit to tokyo disney resort in April… technically chiba) BUT WOW!!! so much has changed!! I need to go back up once this Olympic mess is over with.
Great video, nice one!
This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Sending full support from Mami Edelyn in Germany
OMG now we can read book to guide us if come to Japan…Good Idea…👍👍
Thank you for introducing Japan to the world!!! Have a great day!!! 👍
"The world's biggest Gachapon store has opened in Tokyo"
Me: shouts the F word in panic
This is a lot of good info all in one place!
I'd love to visit Japan some day!
