Akihabara Electric Town

If you're a collector, or simply of a fan of anime, manga, or gaming, look no further than Tokyo's Electric Town. The shops and cafes of this vibrant area of Tokyo hold an enormous collection of everything from costumes to comics to figurines.

Golden Gai

Fan of a bit of nightlife? Visit Golden Gai! This area is a maze of alleyways made up of small bars. Some of them so small that they can only accommodate a few customers at a time!

Because of the lack of seating, some of these bars charge quite a high price to visit and others are open to locals only. However, it's brimming with local charm and an excellent choice for those looking for a fun night out on the town.

Hamarikyu Onshi Teien

If you need a break from the fast-paced city, take a trip to Hamarikyu Onshi Teien, a traditional Japanese strolling garden. Upon your arrival, you'll find a seawater moat surrounding the garden, but a quick trip on a water taxi will take you across.

Once in the garden, you can take a leisurely stroll around the perimeter of the park. And after you've seen everything the park has to offer, be sure to step inside the antique teahouse on the property, where you can take part in a tea ceremony.

Maxell Aqua Park

The Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa is a fantastic option for those traveling with family. Located inside the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, the Aqua Park holds about 20,000 marine creatures.

To make the experience even better, this attraction features a stunning combination of sound, lighting, and imagery to accompany its many exhibits.
