The 10 Best Traveler Resources in Tokyo, Kanto

December 31, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Tsukiji Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.

My wife and I were told we should watch a Japanese Show called Midnight Tokyo Diner before we left Canada. We loved the series so we wondered whether could find the location. We were most fortunate to drop by the tourist information Centre at the Shibuya Station. It was the great detective work of Kana and Chihiro that gave us the location of this small restaurant ( room for 6-7 people) In the Golden Gai area. We were given lots of great ideas around the Shibuya and Shinjuku area. Thank you to our new friends in Tokyo. If you want some great information from very friendly and informative people don’t hesitate to drop by. You will be very glad you did!

You find Asakusa Culture Tourist Information Center right across from Nakamise Shopping Street and Sensoji Temple. It has a free observation deck, where you can get a good view of the neighbourhood, including the Asahi Beer Tower, Sumida River and of course the Shooping Street and Temple Grounds.

Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan

Reviewed By Swarovski - Melbourne, Australia

It is amazing to see a FLW design in Tokyo and his design is so recognizable throughout this well preserved old building. It was originally started as a school for girls and now it is used for lectures and seminars. There are some early photos - a bit like a museum - but the day we visited there was a lecture on. Just a 5 or 10 minute walk from JR Ikebukuro Station.
