Exploring Tokyo’s iconic spots means jumping from neon-lit party alleys to luxury malls and jaw-dropping rooftop views 🤩🗼. If you want a slice of old and new, this guide is your starting point!
Top Spots to Visit:
Ginza (Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0061) – Open all day. If you’re into fancy shopping malls and luxury brands, Ginza is non-stop retail therapy. Try visiting on weekends for pedestrian-only streets—epic for people-watching.
SHIBUYA SKY (2-24-12 Shibuya, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, directly connected to Shibuya Station) – Open 10:00-22:30, last entry 21:20 (admission ¥1300). This rooftop gives unreal city views, especially at sunset. Book your tickets in advance online to avoid waiting!
Shinjuku Golden-Gai (Kabukicho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0021) – Open all day. This maze of tiny bars shines at night! Pop in for quick drinks and chat with locals. Tip: Many places only accept cash, so hit up an ATM first.
Kabukicho (160-0021, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) – Open all day. Tokyo’s wild entertainment zone, packed with restaurants, karaoke, and neon everywhere. It’s safe, but keep an eye on your wallet and stay street savvy!
Harajuku – Not to miss! The heart of youth pop culture. Check out Takeshita Street for wacky fashion, dessert crepes, and thrift shopping.
How to Get Around: Tokyo Metro is your best friend—grab a prepaid Suica/Pasmo card from any station for smooth rides.
Food Recommendations: For classic Tokyo eats, hunt down ramen spots in Shinjuku, sushi counters in Ginza, and sweet treats around Harajuku. Kawaii crepes are a must!
Key Tips: Most places stay open late, cash is king in smaller bars, and convenience stores are lifesavers for snacks and quick cash withdrawals.
