Japan's capital city of Tokyo needs no introduction. After all, it is one of the world's major cities, reflecting how Japan harmoniously combines old and new. While this city is so advanced it often leaves holidaymakers in awe, it also possesses a well-preserved culture. With sightseeing and food tours, Tokyo offers everything.
A taste of Japan
Whereas your Tokyo apartment may have a fully equipped kitchen, you should get out and enjoy local cuisine. Around most holiday lettings in Tokyo are restaurants serving up tasty ramen and other must-try dishes, such as tempura, katsudon, and sushi. Though you may find these dishes at home, nothing beats enjoying them at the source in Japan. Also, keep an eye out for the interesting fake food displays outside restaurants.
Dining in Tokyo is much more than simply eating – it's a feast for the senses. If you have the budget, plan for a kaseki-ryori, a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. This unique experience will be unforgettable, from the lacquerware used to the lavish spread of small dishes. Those on a budget could head to convenience stores for affordable bento boxes.
Tokyo with kids
As Japan is the birthplace of anime, you'll have to set aside some time to see your favourite cartoon characters with your kids. Visit J-World in Sunshine City Convention Centre and enjoy games, cosplay, and interactive displays of Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and other anime. Shop for Pokemon toys close to your Tokyo accommodation. A fan of Japanese Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro? Then see the art and animation exhibits at Ghibli Museum, named after Studio Ghibli. Alternatively, spend the day at Tokyo Disneyland or the world's only DisneySea. Enjoy the view from Tokyo Skytree or relax in Ueno Park.
What to see and do in Tokyo
Whether you're up for modern wonders or heritage sites, all are within reach of Tokyo holiday rentals. A nice way to start your day in Tokyo is to visit the Tsukiji Fish Market to watch the fishmongers and shoppers. Head to one of the restaurants around the market to sample the fresh seafood.
Favourite landmarks include Meiji Shrine and the Imperial Palace, with the East Gardens open to the public. If you happen to be in Tokyo on Christmas or New Year's Day, you may catch a rare glimpse of the emperor and the royal family.
When in Tokyo, shop in the Ginza area or upgrade your gadget collection as you visit Akihabara. Odaiba, set on an artificial island, is a family-friendly entertainment and dining district in Tokyo. When it comes to nightlife, you can paint the town red in Roppongi. If you have plenty of time, explore nearby cities such as Hakone, famous for its hot springs and iconic gate overlooking Lake Ashi.
