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.

~ Japan's only gallery & shop where traditional craft items all over the country gather in one place ~ We would like to inform you that Aoyama Square will close from December 29 (Sun) to Jan. 3 (Fri) for New Year Holidays. We will open from Jan. 4 (Sat) 2020.
The gallery staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the various crafts on sale, providing useful advice to make sure you are happy with your purchase. When I visited, a couple of craftsmen were conducting demonstrations on their work, and one member of staff in particular who spoke excellent English went out of her way to translate what the craftsman was saying throughout the session! It was hands-down the best place for quality souvenirs that I saw during my time in Japan.

Tokyo Little House is a tourist space located in a 70-year old house in Akasaka. In the first-floor cafe and gallery, visitors can enjoy curated exhibits on Tokyo’s history and leaf through a library of books, old magazines, maps, and other rare documents that reveal the city as it was seen by the residents and tourists of the past. Visitors are requested to make a purchase at the cafe.
