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.

Riding this street car from beginning of end is a great way to while away a day (or half-day) in parts of Tokyo that few tourists see. Liking train travel or unique modes of transport helps. So if you like the Enoden (Enoshima Electric Railway) in Kamakura, you will love this. Get a day pass and jump on and off at points that look interesting along the way. There's backstreets and laneways to explore, Sugamo (the grandma's Harajuku), and Minowabashi shopping mall, along with a million other places. Discover unique sweet shops and eateries. You will find online guides which tell you what to look out for at each stop or if you like the look of somewhere, just get off and explore and then jump back on. We made the mistake of using our Suica card and spent quite a bit of money jumping on and off, so get the day pass.
