Top Attractions In Tokyo

The best Top 10 Attractions, Tokyo Tours and things to do in Tokyo even if you're on a short stay-

Tourist attractions in Tokyo are countless. I always find something new to marvel at in Tokyo, even though Japan has been part of my life for almost 20 years.

Tokyo is one of the most exciting cities in the world. It's sophisticated, modern, trendy and intense, and at the same time very traditional, with unique customs and traditional cultural life which have a time pace from another world.

The Best Attractions In Tokyo
What To Do In Tokyo For 2 Days?

• On your second day you'll start with a taste of traditional entertainment in Japan - a Kabuki Theatre Show with Kabuki Makeup.
  Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of theater.

  The best place to see a Kabuki Theatre Show is in the Kabukiza Theater in Ginza. Don't get discouraged by people lining up outside the doors of the theatre, this line clears up in a few minutes.

  It is possible to rent English headphones and see just one act of a play, instead of sitting through a whole performance which lasts more than three hours.




• Next head for Asakusa-The interesting older and traditional part of Tokyo. You get to feel of what the city looked like 60-70 years ago. Tokyo is a city where very few buildings are older than 50 years because of earthquakes and WWII bombings.
  Sensoji Temple is very impressing, and the small streets surrounding it have shops selling traditional crafts and food.
  By now your stomach is probably rumbling. There are excellent restaurants in these small streets. A tip – there is a line forming at the entrance to the best ones.




• After lunchtime in Tokyo's old town, head for The Imperial Palace - home of The Emperor of Japan. The gardens are especially beautiful during the Sakura - cherry blossom season and also during plum blossom (March and April). The Palace is not open to the public (except two days a year). However, the palace gardens are public parks and you can visit them and enjoy the sight of the unique Japanese palace, Nijumbashi Bridge and the Japanese garden.




• For the last evening of your Tokyo vacation why don't you get dressed up and go sing Karaoke with the locals. Karaoke is singing the lyrics of a song which are displayed on the screen while you sing. Karaoke bars have private rooms equipped with screens and microphone, so nobody can witness how you sing. But karaoke isn’t really about singing, everyone participates. The whole point of Karaoke is to get a little drunk, loosen up and have fun.
  Karaoke – Japanese style – is the ultimate Tokyo nightlife experience, an unforgettable kind of entertainment In Japan.
