I had a 90 minute coconut oil massage and 30 minutes of foot massage by Eri and both felt amazing! I would definitely go back to this place and highly recommend it to everyone!

My 2 teenage daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Tomoko on a rainy Tokyo day. From the time Tomoko met us at our hotel lobby to when she bade us farewell with a surprise little gift, we are grateful to her for opening up her lovely home and sharing her cooking knowledge and insights into Japanese culture. There are many menus to choose from on the website. We chose the gyoza and ramen menu. We ended up to be the only students on the day - what a treat! My 2 teenage girls loved learning how to wrap the gyoza. Tomoko is so warm and friendly. We felt like we were a guest in her house rather than at a commercial cooking school. I have been to many cooking classes around the world and this would rank very highly as a personal intimate experience to learn about Japanese home style cooking. Thank you Tomoko and I hope our paths cross again!

Sengaku-ji Temple

Reviewed By Dylan914 - Sale, United Kingdom

This temple is a little our of the way and doesnt seem to be as visited as some of the other attractions we visited. We werent able to go in to the temple itself (not sure if we were just unlucky or if its one of the many that dont allow access). The site is very interesting and covers the history of the 47 ronin (yes - the Keanu Reeves film is based on this story!). The site is well preserved - worth a visit if you're in the area. We spent a couple of hours in the area - but a lot of that time was spent sitting!

This is a great garden which is part of a hotel property and has all the traditional Japanese Garden features we were expecting from the little temple, a chapel where several couples were getting married, nice walkways, koi fish, sitting areas, a mini bamboo forest and lots of beautiful flowers and trees including bonsai trees. We would definitely recommend stopping to see this. It is near several other attractions if you are just wondering around so be on the lookout for it while walking around and using the pocket Wi-Fi that is highly recommended by all to help get around.

Observatory, Seaside Top

On the 40th floor, 152 m in height, there is one of Tokyo's finest "Seaside Top" view points with a view of Minato Ward below. From the 200m-per-view corridor, you can overlook Tokyo's two largest towers, Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree, as well as Odaiba and the seaside area such as Rainbow Bridge. There are wide-ranging landscapes such as cityscapes in central Tokyo, Shinkansen, transportation systems such as monorails and expressways, and vessels overlooking Tokyo Bay. In particular, it is a valuable experience to be able to observe the moment when the point of the monorail changes from directly above.

Reviewed By Kalleus - Finland, null

Great observatory and well worth the ~600 Yen entrance fee. You can walk around and get a wide 360 degree view of the surrounding areas. This has to be one of the best places to view Tokyo Tower too. I went around sunset and there were loads of people taking sunset photos of the aforementioned tower from the North-West corner. Nice place to hang out at and well worth a visit.

Nikon Museum

Reviewed By alexandraremi

The museum is situated in the Intercity Tower C. It's very close to Shinagawa Station and took about 8 minutes walk along the walkway connecting the station and the building. Entry is free. Staff were very friendly and helpful. English speaking too. The museum had a special exhibition on railway and quite a number of videos displayed showing images and clips took by various cameras. The history of the brand was documented. Any Nikon fans or photography enthusiasts should find it interesting. It's worth visiting.

Former Shiba Rikyu Gardens

Reviewed By ggm96822 - Honolulu, United States

Very easy to visit, right next to Hamamatsucho Station, five minutes south of Tokyo Station by JR Yamanote Line, and if you are a senior (65+) admission is only 70 yen. Known for early blossoms of plum and cherry, and most notable for the way it has become completely enclosed by skyscrapers. A very peaceful respite from the busy streets.

Hinokicho Park

Reviewed By rosieo977 - Houston, United States

This park is a gem. It’s peaceful and in November the fall colors are gorgeous. It’s a few minutes walk from my hotel The B. Roppongi. I had my lunch on a bench and watched lots of people strolling and taking pictures. Great spot for kids since there’s a playground area.
