I've gathered a few of my favorite things to do in Japan. Tokyo tours that will make planning for your Tokyo vacation a lot easier.

• Asakusa is the city's old town. It is famous for Sensoji Temple, and the small traditional streets surrounding it.

• The Imperial Palace - The Palace gardens are public parks and you can visit them and enjoy the sight of some of the unique Tokyo Attractions - a Japanese palace, Nijumbashi Bridge and the Japanese style garden.




• Omotesando - also called the city's 'fifth avenue'. The best time to visit this fashion street is at dusk when all buildings light up and create an exceptional display.
  The Avenue hosts names such as Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Christian Dior and many more.





• Ginza - Fabulous shopping opportunities, Designer labels and high end department stores.

  
  Sony building in Ginza is a must, even if you're not the gadget type.
  Ginza is an excellent place for Kabuki Theater with Traditional Kabuki Makeup.

• Harajuku is the center of Tokyo teens most extreme Harajuku Gothic fashion and Japanese Cosplay. This is one of the most unique things to do in Japan.




• Meiji Jingu Shrine - a shrine dedicated to the Emperor Meiji, located in Yoyogi Park. Various traditional Japanese festivals are held at this shrine each year, including Shinto wedding ceremonies.




• Akihabara - A paradise for gadget lovers. Countless electronics stores hold the newest gadgets you will only find in your home country 2-3 years from now.




• Shibuya - Home of the famous iconic intersection, featured endlessly in Media as a symbol of Tokyo. It's main intersection is called the city's 'Times Square'. Prepare for huge neon screens and huge mass of people. One of the most impressing Things to do in Tokyo.




• Marunouchi a very lively Tokyo nightlife area.
• The sight of Mt Fuji in the early morning
(mainly visible during winter). There's a great spot for skyline View at Roppongi Hills , admission includes entrance to the excellent Mori Art Museum.
Tokyo Tower is the most well known sightseeing spot, but it's an uninspiring choice.

The highest spot in the city is the Metropolitan Government building (the City Hall) in Shinjuku. Its twin towers have viewing platforms that are completely free, and offer a great view of the city's skyline.

Another good option would be from the World Trade Center Building at JR Hamamatsucho station which, although not as high, offers stunning views of Tokyo Tower and the waterfront due to its excellent location.




• One of the best Things to do with kids in Tokyo is Disneyland Toyko. Don't go there during the crowded weekends or Japanese Holidays.


• If you need to calm down, head to one of Tokyo's Japanese style gardens. The Japanese gardens are certainly one of the best things to do in Tokyo. Best time to visit Tokyo Japanese style Gardens is during spring or Autumn. Participating in the Japanese Tea Ceremonies held at the gardens is a great way to be introduced to the Ancient Japanese Culture.




• Shinjuku is considered the world's busiest subway station, 2 million people go through it every day. Famous for the Park Hyatt movie-famed hotel from 'Lost in Translation'.
  Kabuki-Cho is the red light district. This is one of the only thing to do in Tokyo which is a little 'rough', with sales people standing in front of gadgets shops and being 'pushy'.




• Odaiba is a futuristic business district. Getting there is half the fun - you ride a train without a driver.
  Some of the extravagant Odaiba Tokyo attractions include a shopping mall imitating an 18th century European town, a huge wheel that offers beautiful views of Tokyo bay and a few of the most Romantic Things to do in Tokyo.
