The iconic spots you can't miss in Tokyo
Senso-ji Temple
The city's oldest and most sacred Buddhist temple in the Asakusa district. The iconic Kaminarimon gate, Nakamise shopping street, and five-story pagoda make this unmissable.
Book Asakusa Tour →Shibuya Crossing
The world's busiest pedestrian intersection — up to 3,000 people cross at once. Best viewed from above at Shibuya Sky or the Starbucks overlooking the scramble.
Explore Shibuya →Shinjuku & Golden Gai
The city's most electrifying district — neon-lit Kabukicho entertainment district, the tiny labyrinthine bars of Golden Gai, and the world's busiest train station all in one neighborhood.
Book Night Tour →Sushi & Ramen Culture
Japan's capital has more Michelin stars than any other city in the world. From €5 conveyor belt sushi to €300 omakase — and legendary ramen shops with queues around the block.
Book Food Tour →teamLab Planets
Immersive digital art museum where you walk through rooms of infinite light, flowers, and reflections. One of the most photographed experiences in Japan — book weeks in advance.
Book Tickets →Cherry Blossoms (Hanami)
Late March to early April transforms Tokyo into a pink paradise. Ueno Park, Shinjuku Gyoen, and the Meguro River are the best spots for hanami (flower viewing) picnics.
Book Hanami Tour →Harajuku & Takeshita Street
The epicenter of the city's wild street fashion and youth culture. Crepe shops, kawaii fashion boutiques, and cosplay meet the serene Meiji Shrine just steps away.
Explore Harajuku →Tokyo Skytree
The tallest tower in Japan at 634 meters with two observation decks. On a clear day you can see Mount Fuji in the distance. The view at night over the city lights is extraordinary.
Book Skytree Tickets →Akihabara Electric Town
A neon-lit shrine to anime, manga, retro gaming, and electronics. Multi-story arcades, maid cafés, and every gadget imaginable — sensory overload in the best possible way.

🌸 Spring (March–May) — Best Time
Cherry blossom season in late March/early April is magical but book 6+ months ahead — hotels sell out fast. Temperatures are pleasant at 10–20°C and the parks are at their most beautiful.
💡 Pro Tip
The Japan Rail Pass is worth it if you plan day trips to Kyoto, Osaka, or Mount Fuji. Buy it before you leave home — it cannot be purchased in Japan. A 7-day pass covers the Shinkansen bullet train.
🍂 Fall (September–November) — Excellent
Autumn foliage (koyo) in November rivals cherry blossoms for beauty. Comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds than spring. October has the best mix of good weather and lower prices.
☀️ Summer (June–August) — Hot & Humid
Temperatures hit 35°C+ with high humidity — exhausting for sightseeing. June is rainy season. That said, summer festivals (matsuri) and fireworks (hanabi) are spectacular if you can handle the heat.
❄️ Winter (December–February) — Budget-Friendly
Cold but rarely snowy in the city center. Christmas illuminations are world-class. Lowest hotel prices of the year and almost no queues at major attractions. Perfect for museum-heavy itineraries.
What to Eat in Tokyo
- Ramen — Each region has its own style: rich tonkotsu (pork broth), soy-based shoyu, or delicate shio (salt). Ichiran and Fuunji are legendary spots.
- Sushi — From €3 kaiten (conveyor belt) to full omakase experiences. Tsukiji Outer Market for breakfast sushi is a Japan rite of passage.
- Tempura (lightly battered and fried seafood/vegetables) — Best eaten at a counter bar watching the chef cook each piece to order.
- Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) — Under the train tracks in Yurakucho or Shinjuku, tiny smoky yakitori stalls with cold Sapporo beer.
- Onigiri (rice balls) — The ultimate convenience food, available at every 7-Eleven and Lawson. Tuna mayo and salmon are tourist-proof classics.
- Wagyu beef — Japan's legendary marbled beef, worth splurging on at least once. Shabu-shabu or yakiniku (grilled at table) are the classic preparations.
Where to Eat (Local Favorites)
- Tsukiji Outer Market — Best fresh sushi breakfast in the city. Arrive by 7am to beat the queues at the top stalls.
- Ichiran Ramen — Solo dining booths with customizable tonkotsu ramen. The most uniquely Japanese dining experience possible.
- Depachika — Basement food halls of department stores like Isetan or Takashimaya. Incredible prepared foods, sweets, and bento boxes.
- Standing sushi bars — Cheap, fast, and often better than sit-down places. Look for counters near Shinjuku or Shibuya stations.
