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.

This skyscraper in one of Tokyo's main business district has a secret: some of the area's best shopping. Also known as Marubiru, the mall features a mix of local and international shops and eateries

Located underneath Tokyo Station, First Avenue's main features are Character Street, where shops sell goods based on Japanese cartoon characters, and Ramen Street, where there are eight ramen shops.
Underneath Tokyo Station, nearest to the Nihombashi Exit (no need to enter the train station ticket gates), there is actually a full level of stores to find merchandise of all your favourite Japanese Anime, Movie, & TV Characters (like Pokemon, Hello Kitty, Totoro, One-Piece, Kureyonshinchan, Rilakkuma, Star Wars...), and toy shops (Lego, Tomica), and Japanese traditional souvenirs (like kabuki, origami items). And if you keep walking, it continues on to food stores which showcases cruisines from various regions of Japan (as highlighted on a map of Japan outside each shop). There are restaurants in another level as well. As such, it can get very busy and attract a lot of tourists and young families. BEFORE YOU START SHOPPING at First Avenue, please register with the Tax-Free Office located inside the station building on the ground floor. They will register you, and give you a tax-free booklet to present to each of the First Avenue shops counters when you make your purchases. All the receipts will be added to your booklet, and when you finish shopping, go back to the Tax-Free Office to claim tax refund for all the receipts in the booklet. As it was my first visit, and I didn't notice any signs, until the nice people at the Lego store pointed out to me where I can claim my tax, I had to go back to every store I buy from, and each had to re-process my purchases and attach the correct paperwork to my Tax-Free booklet.

This department store located next to Tokyo Station contains upmarket shops, restaurants, and a free museum. The sixth floor has an outdoor terrace with a great view of Tokyo Station.
A building with a bit of everything. Great food (seriously good sushi restaurant), interesting shops, a good supermarket (B1) and a fabulous and free natural science museum.
