“As for hotel recommendation, I really like staying at the Muji Hotel in Ginza. I stayed there on a previous trip and found the rooms super comfortable and nicely designed. You also get to use Muji-branded amenities, which is a nice touch. So if you're a Muji fan or just want a clean, cozy place to stay, it's definitely a place to check out.”

experience

“You can't visit Tokyo without experiencing the famous Shibuya Crossing, the world's busiest pedestrian intersection. It's estimated that around 300,000 people pass through it every single day. It's chaotic, but in the best way possible.”

“For a great view of the crossing, head to the Mag's Park rooftop for a unique top-down perspective.”

“Another spot with a stunning view is Shibuya Sky, a rooftop observatory with 360 degrees view of Tokyo's skyline. On a clear day, you can even catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji in the distance. The place is especially popular around sunset hours, so if you want to visit during that time, booking a few weeks in advance is a good idea.”

“Next, check out the Miyashita Park, a modern urban space built above a train line. It blends shopping, dining, and a rooftop park all in one. Below deck you can browse the many stores.”

shopping

“One of my favorite ones is GBL, which sells limited edition Ghibli merch. As a fan, I couldn't resist adding to my small collection.”

“If you're into gaming or anime, Shibuya Parco is worth a visit. It's home to the official Nintendo store and the Pokemon Center, both great spots for exclusive merch.”

“On the other side of Shibuya, you'll find Yoyogi Park. It's the main park of Shibuya and a peaceful retreat from the city. It's especially beautiful during the cherry blossom season.”

cafe

“themed animal cafes like the Mipig Cafe, where you can hang out with adorable micro pigs.”

cafe

“One spot I always return to here is Higuma Doughnuts a small, cozy cafe that combines two Tokyo favorites, handmade donuts and specialty coffee. They use high-quality Hokkaido ingredients, which gives their donuts a super light and fluffy texture. And honestly, it might just be the best donut shop in Tokyo, at least in my opinion.”

restaurant

“If you're craving sushi, then check out Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera, a more casual branch of the Michelin-starred Onodera group. You order from a tablet like most other conveyor belt places, but the quality here really stands out. It's high-end, Edomae-style sushi at a more approachable price. My personal favorites was the Chutoro and the Otoro Nigiri. This is by far the best conveyor belt sushi spot in Tokyo.”

“Within the park, you can also find the Meiji Shrine, a serene Shinto shrine tucked into a forested area with peaceful walking paths.”

nightlife

“Shinjuku is another popular area known for Kabukicho, Tokyo's entertainment district. Think near-lit back streets, hidden bars and loud late-night fun. It's great if you want a memorable nightlife experience, but it might not be the best fit for families. Stick to the lit main drags, ignore aggressive promoters, and soak up the electric signage that inspired the movie Blade Runner.”

shopping

“The main draw here is the Takeshita Street. The street is packed with street food offerings, quirky fashion boutiques, and themed animal cafes like the Mipig Cafe, where you can hang out with adorable micro pigs.”

“Next, head to Omoide Yokocho. A small narrow alleyway, often referred to as "piss alley" due”

“For the best view of Tokyo Tower, ride the lift to the Sky Lobby on the 33rd floor of Azabudai Hills. It's no longer free entry, and you're required to order at least one drink from one of the cafes at the Sky Lobby, but there's no other observatory that offers a better view of the iconic tower.”

“Step inside Red Tokyo Tower. Inside you'll find VR Rides, Sim Racing Rigs, and Esports Arenas. Basically an adult playground wrapped in the tower's iconic red steel.”
