I think the best things about <strong>Tokyo<\/strong> are wandering around the various areas and eating.

While it is primarily an after-dark place to be with the neon signs all lit up and the restaurants and bars, I recommend going during the day as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get off at Shibuya JR station, take the Hachiko Exit for the best first impression.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__notice component__notice--info wp-block-milesgutenberg-notice\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-info-circle\"><\/i>\n\t\t<div class=\"component__notice__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>The Hachiko exit is named as such because of the famous Hachiko statue just outside the station; the story is of a loyal dog who waited for his master\u2019s return every day after work. Even when his master passed, Hachiko was still devoted and went on to patiently wait at the same spot for nearly ten years. This is now a very popular meeting spot in Shibuya; it was convenient when we did not have phones or easy ways to get data while travelling.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>A few steps further, you\u2019ll encounter the famous Shibuya\u2019s Scramble Crossing; find a spot, settle in, and just people-watch as they cross from all directions.

You can find a lot of accessories stores as well as very nice dessert places which are ideal for a snack while you are shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clothes stores are swarmed with students as this <strong>Tokyo<\/strong> area is most famous for its youthful fashion. Another one of my stops while in Harajuku and Tokyo is Daiso, a Japanese dollar store or \u00a5100-shop; I usually buy most of my household supplies there as they are of great quality and very cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To escape the crowds, you can wander around Yoyogi-Koen, a park, and Meiji-Jingu shrine for some calm and serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you have Omotesando Hills, a complex of high-end designer boutiques and restaurants. The contrast is impressive with Harajuku next door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1060\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo takeshita dori\" class=\"wp-image-247689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori-450x298.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Takeshita-dori-768x509.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tokyo-shinjuku\">Tokyo &#8211; Shinjuku<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Shinjuku is HUGE and one of the central districts in <strong>Tokyo<\/strong>; being a business, entertainment and shopping, there is always something going on here. The Shinjuku station (bus, train and metro) is enormous and is a gateway to several other places in <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/destination\/japan-modern-authentic\/\">Japan<\/a>, as most lines will go through this neighbourhood.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__notice component__notice--info wp-block-milesgutenberg-notice\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-info-circle\"><\/i>\n\t\t<div class=\"component__notice__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>There are many different Shinjuku Stations, so be precise when you ask for directions or if you need to meet someone as it\u2019s easy to mix up with similar names such as Shinjuku-sanchome, Shinjuku JR, Nishi-Shinjuku, Higashi-Shinjuku.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo train station\" class=\"wp-image-247691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Train-Station-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shinjuku is divided into sections (east, west, north and south) covering a large area. You can visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to get the best view, and it\u2019s free! The landscape of Tokyo at night is impressive from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more stunning panoramas, the New York Bar on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel Tokyo is another famous tourist destination for movie buffs since it is where the main characters meet in Lost in Translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you are in Tokyo, you can try singing Karaoke with your friends in a private booth! There are many in Shinjuku, with many different packages, from basic access to unlimited drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular Sakura viewing spots in Tokyo is at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. It is also a wonderful place to retreat from the hectic city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pique-nique-a-Shinjuku-Gyoen-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Pique nique a shinjuku gyoen 1\" class=\"wp-image-247647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pique-nique-a-Shinjuku-Gyoen-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pique-nique-a-Shinjuku-Gyoen-1-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pique-nique-a-Shinjuku-Gyoen-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Pique-nique-a-Shinjuku-Gyoen-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shinjuku is also a great area to shop in <strong>Tokyo<\/strong> and the main stores are right next to the station. You can pretty much everything here but what I love the most are the lower levels of Isetan and Takashimaya department stores; the food halls are filled with delicious treats. While there are very expensive items such as high-grade perfect fruits, you can easily eat a lot in these food courts without busting your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Department-Store-Food-Hall.jpeg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo department store food hall\" class=\"wp-image-247697\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if there are Uniqlo stores worldwide, the ones in Japan are somewhat different and cheaper. Uniqlo specializes in basic clothing items, but the quality is very good for its price. As for electronics, check out Bic Camera, and you\u2019ll most likely be able to find any model of camera, headphones, phones, SIM cards, hair curlers, shavers, tablets, etc. Then, you have BicQlo, which is a merger of the two. You can buy tax-free here if you are a foreigner on a tourist visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tokyu Hands and Don Quijote (or Donki as the locals call it) are stores where you can find affordable household items, stationery, toys, original souvenirs, etc. I also stop by them to refill my craft supplies whenever I am in <strong>Tokyo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you might be doing a lot of shopping in Shinjuku or Shibuya, make sure you have a credit card that waives the currency exchange fee, such as the <a title=\"Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite* Card\" href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/go\/scotiabank-passport-visa-infinite-card\/\" rel=\"noindex\">Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite* Card<\/a>. Indeed, most other cards <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/strategy\/save-foreign-currency\/\">add a 2.5% fee to the exchange rate<\/a>, which can add up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s-h'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--s-h container_count--1'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"48056\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>Another of my favourite things to do in <strong>Tokyo<\/strong> is strolling down Memory Lane or Omoide Yokocho, which is conveniently located 5 minutes away from Shinjuku West Exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area is great to visit at night as there are lots of small yakitori (skewered meat) restaurants and bars along the narrow alleyways; the feel and atmosphere are amazing with the paper lantern decorations. The restaurants are open from 5 p.m. to midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some will refer to Omoide Yokocho as Piss Alley, which might make you want to avoid it, but it\u2019s a clean and charming place with so much history and the heart of Shinjuku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo omoide yokocho\" class=\"wp-image-247703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Omoide-Yokocho-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Golden Gai is another area with narrow alleyways with a terrific ambiance that is open up to the early morning. Golden Gai is more about bars and drinking as opposed to Omoide Yokocho. Look out for English signs, as many of them do not welcome foreigners. Also, there may be cover charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To end your night, try spotting Godzilla in Kabuchiko while walking back to the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku-.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo shinjuku\" class=\"wp-image-247687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku-.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku--450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku--200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-Shinjuku--768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__notice component__notice--info wp-block-milesgutenberg-notice\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-info-circle\"><\/i>\n\t\t<div class=\"component__notice__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>You can visit all three <strong>Tokyo<\/strong> districts in a day, but you can also spend days without having the time to take it all in.

If you get there early enough, you can benefit from a discounted rate at <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/urayasu.ooedoonsen.jp\/\">Oedo Onsen Monogatari<\/a>, a hot spring park that will take you back to Edo, Tokyo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a hall with food, games and a lovely garden where you can enjoy the time as a couple or family but note that the baths are separated by gender since you have to go naked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odaiba is perfect for entertaining little ones as there are many giant shopping malls, a huge Ferris wheel, museums and exhibitions&nbsp;; the business operators has annonced, in addition to the Odaiba island redevelopment project, a new shopping and entertainment center by 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MORI Building Digital Art Museum: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/planets.teamlab.art\/tokyo\">teamLab Planet<\/a> is also not to be missed. It is near Yurakucho Station in Toyosu. As the name suggests, the art is digitally created, and you can interact with it too! You can quickly lose yourself in these museums even if you are not travelling with kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Exposition-TeamLab-1.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Exposition teamlab 1\" class=\"wp-image-247639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Exposition-TeamLab-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Exposition-TeamLab-1-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Exposition-TeamLab-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Exposition-TeamLab-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, you can take a stroll around Ginza, known for its high-end stores and restaurants. The Uniqlo Ginza is also one of the biggest and the most impressive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can make your way to Tokyo Tower, an icon of the city; while it looks just like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is an integral part of the Tokyo landscape. You can go up for the views, but since Tokyo Sky Tree was built, the panorama is better from the latter, in my opinion, as you are higher up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>End your evening in Roppongi, the heart of Tokyo nightlife: bars, restaurants, clubs; you name it! It is a trendy place to go out, both for locals and tourists alike. Be wary of cover charges; some establishments might lure you in with appealing all-you-can-drink deals, but the final check might be very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo: Ultimate 4-Day Travel Guide - Tokyo panorama\" class=\"wp-image-247705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama-450x222.jpg 450w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama-200x99.jpg 200w, https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Tokyo-panorama-768x380.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tokyo-day-four\">Tokyo &#8211; Day four<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On your last day in <strong>Tokyo<\/strong>, here are a few recommendations of things to do so you can choose based on your interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/disney-parks-worldwide\/\">Disney theme parks worldwide<\/a>, the ones in Tokyo easily slide to the top.

Lines can be quite long, so you\u2019d better get here as soon as it opens or before peak mealtime; they give out limited seating tickets every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tsukiji Outer Market<\/strong>: there are plenty of fantastic restaurants in the area, and the seafood is as fresh as it can be. Restaurants open around 5 a.m. and close around noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.narisawa-yoshihiro-en.com\/reservation\">Narisawa<\/a>: this is a fine dining restaurant or <em>kaiseki<\/em> where they serve a tasting menu based on the season.
