Here's the Perfect day and Top 10 Things to Do in Japan.

What To Do In Tokyo? Top Things to See in Tokyo

Japanese Cosplay - Gothic fashion at Harajuku area on a Sunday. Then to Yoyogi Park (right next to Harajuku) to see Tokyo Teens dancing. This is one of the most unique Tokyo things to do.

Meiji Jingu shrine - relax in the Green surrounding.
And If you're lucky enough there will be a Japanese Traditional wedding in the shrine.

Omotesando Avenue - Tokyo's 'fifth avenue'. I would stroll down the street, do some window shopping at Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Christian Dior.
I would stay there until sunset, when all the Fashion boutiques light up.

For dinner I'd book a place at my favorite Tokyo Restaurant - Gonpachi - the cozy Izakaya which inspired the big sword fight scene from 'Kill Bill'.
I love this place, although some say it's 'touristic', but I always have a good time there. I go to the Nishi-Azabu one (there are a few Gonpachi in Tokyo).

More Best Things To Do In Japan

Sony building in Ginza - for the Gadgets.

Shibuya- for some people watching at the famous intersection, and then eat Ramen at one of the cheap Restaurants in the street.
Marunouchi- for a drink with the locals as they wind down before they catch the train home.
The Marunouchi building is packed with Restaurants and bars.
I always try to talk with the Japanese office workers winding down at the bar.

To end the evening I'd go to a Karaoke venue, drink myself silly and sing along with the Japanese crowd.

Top 10 Things To Do In Tokyo With Kids And Teens

Japanese Gardens- let them run around and take out some energy (Although Japanese kids are so polite and quiet you can hardly notice them). Still, the Japanese gardens are certainly one of the best things to do in Tokyo for kids, because of the huge fish and turtles in the pond, the stepping stones, and the Japanese Tea Ceremony in the little Tea House.

Kabuki Theater with Traditional Kabuki Makeup- is another great thing to do with teens and kids in Japan. Make sure you buy tickets for only one act of Kabuki Theater, which is about 30 minutes. More than that can be hard on your kid's patience. They have shows going all day long in Ginza.

Studio Ghibli Museum- a Fun place to go with your Teens who are into Japanese Anima.
They teach you How to create Animations and many of their famous characters are presented in the museum too.
The museum itself has a fun shape, as if it came right out of one of their movies.
This museum is so popular it needs to be booked in advance, usually about a month before.
You can do it yourself through the Museum site, or book a Ghibli Museum Tour.
I'm recommending the tour because booking tickets to the to the museum is not easy, and so is transportation.

Of course Tokyo Disneyland wins as one of the Top 10 Things to Do in Tokyo for kids, just don't go there during the weekends or Japanese Holidays because the lines are unbelievable. And remember – you need 2 or 3 days to it all.

I know Tokyo Disneyland can seem like a journey to another planet, especially if you don't speak Japanese.
But no one has ever regretted visiting the most visited Disney park in the world ...

Tokyo Disney Sea & Tokyo Disneyland are magnificent parks with Cinderella castle, a complete replica of a medieval Italian village, Gondolas in the river, an erupting volcano, magical nighttime illuminations, and the famous Disney parades.

What To Do In Tokyo According To Your Schedule

Roppongi Hills and Mori tower for the Tokyo skyline observatory on the 54th floor.
Then a contemporary art exhibition at Mori tower's superb art gallery (I consider this one of the Top 10 Things To Do In Tokyo since some of the best Exhibitions I've ever seen where there), and some shopping in the complex.

Tokyo fish market - is one of our Top 10 Things To Do In Tokyo. Although it involves getting up at 5:00 am in the morning (!!), I'm glad we did it, because it's such a unique Tokyo place.

Tokyo Museums - Fukagawa Edo Museum is my favorite. This Tokyo Museum is great fun because this is where Tokyo History really comes to life. There's a reproduction of a Japanese village during the Edo Period with life sized replicas of traditional houses.
This Museum even changes the exhibition according to the seasons and the time of day - the cherry blossom trees bloom in spring. and there's a daily cycle in which lights brighten or the roof closes to make sun set.

Ginza - Department stores and Laduree Café that overlooks the famous Ginza clock. It's an excellent place for people watching as it sits right on the intersection.

Tokyo Tower - in the evening, at it lights up. Its the Japanese version of the Eiffel Tower. The best place to see it was from Roppongi Hills complex.
