Tokyo Travel Info
Tokyo wasn’t always the futuristic capital we know today. Once a small fishing village named Edo, it transformed into Japan’s political and cultural heart during the Edo period (1603-1868). Through wars, natural disasters, and economic booms, Tokyo has continuously reinvented itself. Today, Tokyo is a harmonious blend of the old and new—where ancient tea ceremonies exist alongside cutting-edge robotics, and sumo wrestling is just as cherished as anime culture.
Best Places to Visit in Tokyo

Shibuya Crossing
Arguably the most famous pedestrian crossing in the world, Shibuya Crossing is an electrifying spectacle of urban life. Thousands of people cross at once from all directions, creating a mesmerizing moment of organized chaos. The best way to experience it? Head to the Starbucks at the intersection for a bird's-eye view, or step into the scramble yourself and become part of the city's pulse.

Tokyo Tower & Tokyo Skytree
Tokyo Tower, a landmark inspired by the Eiffel Tower, stands at 333 meters, offering a panoramic view of the city. At night, it glows in seasonal colors, creating a breathtaking sight. Tokyo Skytree, Japan's tallest structure at 634 meters, provides an even more spectacular view. On clear days, you can even spot Mount Fuji in the distance from the top of the tower.

Asakusa & Sensō-ji Temple
Step back in time at Sensō-ji, Tokyo’s oldest and most significant Buddhist temple. The iconic red Kaminarimon Gate welcomes visitors, leading to Nakamise Street, where you can shop for traditional souvenirs and street food. The temple’s atmosphere is both spiritual and lively, making it a perfect place to experience Japan’s cultural heritage.

Shinjuku & Akihabara
Shinjuku is Tokyo’s entertainment hub, filled with dazzling neon lights, bars, and shopping centers. It’s home to the lively Kabukicho district, Golden Gai’s tiny alleyway bars, and the tranquil Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Meanwhile, Akihabara is the ultimate destination for anime, manga, gaming, and tech lovers. Visit massive electronic stores, themed cafés, and gaming arcades where you can dive deep into Japanese pop culture.

Meiji Shrine
Located in a lush forested area in Shibuya, Meiji Shrine is a peaceful escape from Tokyo’s urban buzz. Built to honor Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken, this Shinto shrine features massive torii gates, beautiful walking paths, and an atmosphere of tranquility. If you’re lucky, you might witness a traditional Japanese wedding procession.

Tsukiji Outer Market
Although the famous inner wholesale fish market moved to Toyosu, Tsukiji’s outer market remains a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Here, you can try fresh sushi, grilled scallops, and unique Japanese snacks. Don’t miss out on tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet) and a steaming bowl of seafood ramen!

TeamLab Planets Tokyo
This interactive museum takes digital art to the next level. Walk barefoot through water-filled rooms that reflect endless galaxies, wade through a sea of glowing flowers, and immerse yourself in dynamic installations that change as you move. Every moment here is Instagram-worthy, making it one of Tokyo’s most surreal experiences.
