    Tokyo Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, residence of the Naito family during the Edo period, is a public botanical garden featuring a wide range of plants, including quite a number of endangered species. It is famous for being one of the best Hanami (flower viewing) spots in Tokyo during the cherry blossom season.

    NAKED Sakura Night Garden 2023 is Gyoen’s first collaboration with NAKED Inc., a creative company. The light show simply turns the garden into a magically illuminated realm with cherry blossom being the main theme. Admission tickets (Klook Special Promotion: JPY 1,600/adult; JPY 1,400/senior) can easily be purchased online in advance. Paperless transactions are simple and environmentally friendly; all you need is the QR code. Expect to walk on grass, so wear comfortable shoes. Although wheelchairs are available for free rental, the walk from the entrance to the rental booth is approximately 10 minutes. Enjoy the view and take lots of photos and videos!

    So lucky to be here on such a wonderful day when there was such a great atmosphere and so many wonderful sights to see. A tremendous blend of temples and history alongside the excitement and the food and shopping streets. Absolutely a must visit. And if you venture down to the river you can get a cruise and also go over to other temples.

    I found this place very interesting. Lots of areas to visit and history to take in. Evidence of community use. We saw parents with a baby blessing their young baby and a wedding party with a happy couple. Evidence of a camphor tree planted in 1920 caught my eye.

    A crowded tourist spot for first timers in Japan. Can be avoided for a priority visitation and kept only for the visit to the SensoJi Temple. Surrounded by small shops selling souvenirs and snacks. Close walk from Asakusa Station. Old japan vibe mixed with tourist influx.

    Tokyo Tower is a good way to spend an hour with the family, when in Tokyo. The views are great and glass deck sections are hair-raising. It is quite a lengthy walk from the nearest train station, so be prepared for that if with kids. There's also not much else in the area to see... but it's still worth the effort, for the views alone.

    Ueno Park is a Tokyo gem that seamlessly blends natural beauty with cultural richness. This expansive park in the heart of the city offers a refreshing escape from the urban buzz. Walking through the cherry blossom-lined pathways or by the serene Shinobazu Pond feels like a tranquil retreat. The park is a cultural hub, housing museums like the Tokyo National Museum and Ueno Zoo, making it an ideal destination for both nature lovers and history enthusiasts. Ueno Park's seasonal festivals, vibrant street performances, and the iconic Ueno Toshogu Shrine add an extra layer of charm. Whether you're seeking relaxation, cultural exploration, or a leisurely day outdoors, Ueno Park promises a delightful experience in Tokyo.

    An amazing work of architecture and beauty that is a must see tourist attraction. We did not buy the admission to the top, but was allowed up to a restaurant area on the 30th level, where the views were awesome. Tons of restaurants, unique stores, fast casual eateries surround and are inside this attraction. Easy to spend several hours checking it out. It is convenient to a subway stop.

    Something about 3000 people crossing a complex intersection makes people want to see it, and of course, do it. Unfortunately we were there on a rainy day and the crowds were not as dense. But the sight of umbrellas moving in unison seems just as appealing. We even paid for an 8th floor view of the intersection in one of the buildings to see it from a higher vantage point. The area is a high concentration of stores, restaurants, traffic and nooks and crannies. Worth exploring all around, but not in the rain.

    The 5th avenue of tokyo with many luxury stores and brands. Even if you’re not into overpriced stuff, there are many restsurants and cafes, and malls. Plus you can just take a walk and people watch

    Accessible from the vast lobby of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building this free activity whisks you up to the top in superfast lifts. Well organised by friendly staff this is unmissable. Terrific 360 degree views from the top.

    A huge train station with a 100 year history. Serving JR, Metro and Shinkansen lines, we took the Shinkansen to Odawara, Lake Ashi. Like a city in itself, lots of shopping malls, restaurants around it

    Our family of four (with kids aged 15 and 12) went to teamLab Planets on our first morning in Tokyo. It was definitely a worthwhile family excursion, but not perfect. Some of the rooms are truly breathtaking, whilst others were a tad underwhelming... and the overall experience was quite short. Still, a good way to kill an hour (or two, if you move slowly through the exhibits) if in Tokyo with the kids.
