What places can you go to in Tokyo?

What places should I visit when I go to Tokyo, Japan?

  • What are the main attractions there such as stores, restaurants, malls, etc? Thanks

  • Answer:

    For stores and malls go to Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akihabara for eletronics and geek chic, and Odaiba. Ueno has an interesting arcade area that stretches almost to Akihabara. As for attractions that don't involve shopping per say: Senso-ji in Asakusa - lot of shopping around here too aforementioned Ueno - large park with lots to see Imperial Park near Tokyo station site of the former Edo Castle Harajuku Park - Meiji Shrine. Also lots of shopping on Omontosando road

The 2 Must-Sees in Tokyo are: 1. Asakusa Shrine/temple This entire area is surrounded by a "historicl street". You will see ricksaw-type carts for hire, traditional food stalls, as well as souvenir shops. (it is heavy on tourists) Try the okonamiyaki, a Japanese type of pancake dish. It is the best at the stall outside of the temple. 2. Meiji Jingu is another shrine, located in a wooded area, right in the middle of busy Tokyo! It is like you have left teh Big City lifestyle for a hike in the forest, just by walking through the gate. On Sundays, you will see the "harajuku girls" hanging around outside of the entryway.. This also leads to Omatosando.. a street of high fashion, trendy stores and cafes/restaurants. Very Tokyo-ish. Are you young and into nightlife? Clubbing in Roppongi is the place to go. Do you have children? The 8 story toy store is in Ginza and Tokyo Disney is easy to access as well. Are you a shopper? A quick train-ride away, (about 30 minutes), is Yokohama, a suburb known for it's awesome shopping street, Motomatchi and it's amazing China Town.This is also a waterfront city which is romantic if you have someone with you. Also, Do not miss shopping in LandMark Tower here!

You've got some good listings. Shibuya is good for shopping. Visit the Imperial Palace, the Tokyo Tower, Meiji Park and Shrine..... Shibuya also has good restaurants and bars. If you want to go to a foreigner area, go to Roppongi.

Ueno Park. a nice zoo and a truly wonderful Western Art Museum, inlcuding several Rodin Sculptures..Like the Gates of Hell. Yasukuni Shrine. yes the one that is always in the news becuause the PM visited. It is Arlington National Cemetary for the Japanese. very moving, especially the little museum they have.

Shibuya Station for lunch EVERYDAY!!! I paid more money at better restaurants around ginza but I had the best lunches at noodle shops and french bakeries in the subway station. Oh and NO sushi at Tsukiji market, I paid $32 for 8 pieces of mediocre slightly warm sushi.
