The best way to see Tokyo is by rail<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nMany tourists and residents alike believe that the best way to see all that Tokyo has to offer is to travel on the city\u2019s iconic elevated Yamanote line which has connected famous neighbourhoods like Shinjuku, Ueno, Akihabara and Shibuya, since 1925.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So grab your Japan Rail pass and prepare yourself for the ultimate Japanese adventure in a city that never sleeps. Heck, it barely even stops to take a breath.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hajime<\/em>!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nGet to the heart of Tokyo in Ueno park<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for the perfect place to start your Tokyo adventure, you could do much worse than spend your first day exploring Ueno Park. Tokyo\u2019s largest park gives visitors a flavour of the city in the same way that Central Park is so quintessentially New York. Like its American counterpart, the park is also home to some important museums.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll find the Tokyo National Museum, the city\u2019s most popular art museum, as well as The National Museum of Western Art, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and the more understated Shitamachi Museum to name but a few.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tokyo can get pretty hectic, but a sedate day of strolling in the gorgeous grounds and museum-hopping can get your trip off to the perfect start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou really can\u2019t truly experience Tokyo (or Japan in general for that matter) without experiencing Sumo. Watching sumo events is still one of the nation\u2019s favourite pastimes, although the sport has fallen out of favour with the younger generation in recent years.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Western sports like baseball and football enjoy great popularity in Japan, there is no sport more intrinsically Japanese than sumo, and the best place to immerse yourself in all things Sumo is Ryog\u014dku. Here you can not only take in a bout but you can also learn all about the history of the sport at the Sumo Museum or eat at the delightful sumo-themed restaurant<\/a>. The district is also home to many of Japan\u2019s greatest of sumo stables, where you may even be able to see wrestlers undergo their early-morning practice for free.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFind a vending machine for absolutely <\/strong>everything<\/em><\/strong>!<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTokyo is famous for its abundance and variety of vending machines for absolutely everything. Whether you\u2019re looking for a souvenir of your trip or simply a budget-friendly lunch, you can find a vending machine that fits the bill.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From soft drinks to toys, soup to earbuds, dumplings to canned beer and even (yes, it\u2019s true) women\u2019s used underwear, there\u2019s very little you can\u2019t find in Tokyo vending machines.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out the Golden Gai Ramen vending machines nestled near bustling Shinjuku station for the micro-est of micro-dining and drinking experiences.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nParty the night away in Shibuya<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor those who live by night, Shibuya offers adventurous travellers all they could want from Tokyo\u2019s vibrant and idiosyncratic nightlife. Framed by a kaleidoscope of light and colour, revellers from all over the world party hearty in whatever way best suits them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy a leisurely beer amidst locals at the local people at the Sh\u014dwa-era bars down by the train tracks before heading into the neon-lit melange to sample underground DJ bars teeming with sweaty, writhing masses or penthouse-floor cocktails with Tokyo\u2019s young and trendy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great thing about the Shibuya nightlife is that there\u2019s something for everyone\u2026 Except those who love early nights.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee the candy-coloured sights of Harajuku<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTokyo is one of the most important points on the fashion map and it\u2019s impossible to talk about Tokyo fashion without talking about trendy Harajuku.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popularised in the west by pop-star Gwen Stefani\u2019s entourage of \u201cHarajuku girls\u201d, Tokyo\u2019s fashion district is a garishly colourful medley of quirky boutique fashion outlets, dedicated cosplay stores, vintage clothing outlets, vibrant street art and chic cafes. For those interested in Tokyo\u2019s youth culture, wandering Harajuku\u2019s streets is the perfect way to experience Tokyo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting culture vultures will also want to spend some time in the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art before wandering over to Aoyama to explore trendy galleries and stylist coffee shops.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nGet your geek on in Akihabara<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nGeeks, gamers and anime fanatics will undoubtedly find their people in Tokyo. And nowhere are geeks more abundant than in Akihabara (affectionately known as Akiba by locals), arguably Japan\u2019s pop culture Mecca.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you\u2019re sure to find geeky nirvana amidst the neon-lit arcades, game shops and quirky stores selling anime DVDs and all manner of cool collectibles. Whether you\u2019re looking for some manga graphic novels for your collection or a giant 14\u201d Ultraman figurine, you\u2019re sure to sate your pop culture thirst in Akihabara.

Finish up your day with a unique dining experience at one of the area\u2019s unique \u201cMaid Cafes\u201d where costumed waitresses will let you feel like the lord of the manor\u2026 If only for an hour or two.

Immerse yourself in Sumo at Ryog\u014dku<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou really can\u2019t truly experience Tokyo (or Japan in general for that matter) without experiencing Sumo. Watching sumo events is still one of the nation\u2019s favourite pastimes, although the sport has fallen out of favour with the younger generation in recent years.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Western sports like baseball and football enjoy great popularity in Japan, there is no sport more intrinsically Japanese than sumo, and the best place to immerse yourself in all things Sumo is Ryog\u014dku. Here you can not only take in a bout but you can also learn all about the history of the sport at the Sumo Museum or eat at the delightful sumo-themed restaurant<\/a>. The district is also home to many of Japan\u2019s greatest of sumo stables, where you may even be able to see wrestlers undergo their early-morning practice for free.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFind a vending machine for absolutely <\/strong>everything<\/em><\/strong>!<\/strong>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nParty the night away in Shibuya<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor those who live by night, Shibuya offers adventurous travellers all they could want from Tokyo\u2019s vibrant and idiosyncratic nightlife. Framed by a kaleidoscope of light and colour, revellers from all over the world party hearty in whatever way best suits them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy a leisurely beer amidst locals at the local people at the Sh\u014dwa-era bars down by the train tracks before heading into the neon-lit melange to sample underground DJ bars teeming with sweaty, writhing masses or penthouse-floor cocktails with Tokyo\u2019s young and trendy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great thing about the Shibuya nightlife is that there\u2019s something for everyone\u2026 Except those who love early nights.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee the candy-coloured sights of Harajuku<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTokyo is one of the most important points on the fashion map and it\u2019s impossible to talk about Tokyo fashion without talking about trendy Harajuku.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popularised in the west by pop-star Gwen Stefani\u2019s entourage of \u201cHarajuku girls\u201d, Tokyo\u2019s fashion district is a garishly colourful medley of quirky boutique fashion outlets, dedicated cosplay stores, vintage clothing outlets, vibrant street art and chic cafes. For those interested in Tokyo\u2019s youth culture, wandering Harajuku\u2019s streets is the perfect way to experience Tokyo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting culture vultures will also want to spend some time in the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art before wandering over to Aoyama to explore trendy galleries and stylist coffee shops.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nGet your geek on in Akihabara<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nGeeks, gamers and anime fanatics will undoubtedly find their people in Tokyo. And nowhere are geeks more abundant than in Akihabara (affectionately known as Akiba by locals), arguably Japan\u2019s pop culture Mecca.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you\u2019re sure to find geeky nirvana amidst the neon-lit arcades, game shops and quirky stores selling anime DVDs and all manner of cool collectibles.

<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe US and Paris aren\u2019t the only places where you can get an amazing Disney fix. In fact, Tokyo boasts not one but two Disney themed parks, Disneyland Tokyo and DisneySea. The latter is one of the best and most unique Disney parks in the world. The nautical DisneySea is a theme park with a difference, borrowing as much from real life places and events as the Disney canon and catering to a more mature clientele.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you can enjoy a cocktail in a 1920s style speakeasy, visit the Mysterious Island (complete with active volcano) and even take in a Broadway show.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Party the night away in Shibuya<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor those who live by night, Shibuya offers adventurous travellers all they could want from Tokyo\u2019s vibrant and idiosyncratic nightlife. Framed by a kaleidoscope of light and colour, revellers from all over the world party hearty in whatever way best suits them.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy a leisurely beer amidst locals at the local people at the Sh\u014dwa-era bars down by the train tracks before heading into the neon-lit melange to sample underground DJ bars teeming with sweaty, writhing masses or penthouse-floor cocktails with Tokyo\u2019s young and trendy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The great thing about the Shibuya nightlife is that there\u2019s something for everyone\u2026 Except those who love early nights.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nSee the candy-coloured sights of Harajuku<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nTokyo is one of the most important points on the fashion map and it\u2019s impossible to talk about Tokyo fashion without talking about trendy Harajuku.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popularised in the west by pop-star Gwen Stefani\u2019s entourage of \u201cHarajuku girls\u201d, Tokyo\u2019s fashion district is a garishly colourful medley of quirky boutique fashion outlets, dedicated cosplay stores, vintage clothing outlets, vibrant street art and chic cafes. For those interested in Tokyo\u2019s youth culture, wandering Harajuku\u2019s streets is the perfect way to experience Tokyo.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visiting culture vultures will also want to spend some time in the Watari Museum of Contemporary Art before wandering over to Aoyama to explore trendy galleries and stylist coffee shops.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nGet your geek on in Akihabara<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nGeeks, gamers and anime fanatics will undoubtedly find their people in Tokyo. And nowhere are geeks more abundant than in Akihabara (affectionately known as Akiba by locals), arguably Japan\u2019s pop culture Mecca.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you\u2019re sure to find geeky nirvana amidst the neon-lit arcades, game shops and quirky stores selling anime DVDs and all manner of cool collectibles. Whether you\u2019re looking for some manga graphic novels for your collection or a giant 14\u201d Ultraman figurine, you\u2019re sure to sate your pop culture thirst in Akihabara.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finish up your day with a unique dining experience at one of the area\u2019s unique \u201cMaid Cafes\u201d where costumed waitresses will let you feel like the lord of the manor\u2026 If only for an hour or two.

<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe US and Paris aren\u2019t the only places where you can get an amazing Disney fix. In fact, Tokyo boasts not one but two Disney themed parks, Disneyland Tokyo and DisneySea. The latter is one of the best and most unique Disney parks in the world. The nautical DisneySea is a theme park with a difference, borrowing as much from real life places and events as the Disney canon and catering to a more mature clientele.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you can enjoy a cocktail in a 1920s style speakeasy, visit the Mysterious Island (complete with active volcano) and even take in a Broadway show.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your geek on in Akihabara<\/strong>
<\/h3>\n\n\n\nGeeks, gamers and anime fanatics will undoubtedly find their people in Tokyo. And nowhere are geeks more abundant than in Akihabara (affectionately known as Akiba by locals), arguably Japan\u2019s pop culture Mecca.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you\u2019re sure to find geeky nirvana amidst the neon-lit arcades, game shops and quirky stores selling anime DVDs and all manner of cool collectibles. Whether you\u2019re looking for some manga graphic novels for your collection or a giant 14\u201d Ultraman figurine, you\u2019re sure to sate your pop culture thirst in Akihabara.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finish up your day with a unique dining experience at one of the area\u2019s unique \u201cMaid Cafes\u201d where costumed waitresses will let you feel like the lord of the manor\u2026 If only for an hour or two.

<\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe US and Paris aren\u2019t the only places where you can get an amazing Disney fix. In fact, Tokyo boasts not one but two Disney themed parks, Disneyland Tokyo and DisneySea. The latter is one of the best and most unique Disney parks in the world. The nautical DisneySea is a theme park with a difference, borrowing as much from real life places and events as the Disney canon and catering to a more mature clientele.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here you can enjoy a cocktail in a 1920s style speakeasy, visit the Mysterious Island (complete with active volcano) and even take in a Broadway show.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
