My Mini Tokyo Travel Guide 🇯🇵

This is a small guide of the places we went to and where we stayed on our trip. The please let me know if you have any questions! NOBU Tokyo was a highlight for me and Ichiran Ramen was a highlight for a few of my friends. I don’t eat pork, so I couldn’t enjoy it😭 I will be going to the pork free ichiran in Osaka next time

✅Pros: best and cleanest country I’ve been to, train system is fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it. People didn’t look at us weird for being black which I was concerned with but it wasn’t an issue. Things are pretty affordable and it’s a great place for luxury shopping!

🚫Cons: they literally have hella stairs everywhere!!! (I lost a few pounds so i was happy about that) 😂Everything is on the small side including hotel rooms, elevators and some shops. These places are designed for you to be in and out and not stay forever inside. It’s not a big con but certainly something to get used to.

🎩Tips: we used Viator and GetYourGuide to book a few excursions. The railpass would be best if you plan to leave Tokyo multiple times

Tokyo
2024/10/14 Edited to

... Read moreTokyo offers a unique blend of tradition and modernity, making it a must-visit destination. Start your journey with iconic sites such as the historic Senso-ji Temple and the bustling Shibuya Crossing. When it comes to dining, don't miss out on popular spots like Ichiran Ramen, known for its rich tonkotsu broth, and the luxurious experience at Nobu Tokyo. Navigating the city can be a breeze with the efficient Tokyo Metro system; consider getting a prepaid Suica or Pasmo card for convenience. Accommodations range from traditional ryokans, offering a taste of Japanese culture, to sleek, modern hotels in Shinjuku. For shopping enthusiasts, areas like Ginza and Harajuku are paradise, filled with everything from high-end boutiques to quirky street fashion. For night outings, check out the vibrant nightlife in Roppongi, famed for its clubs and bars. And if you have time, day trips to nearby Mt. Fuji or Kyoto can enhance your trip further. Prepare to embrace the unique quirks of Japan, like the small spaces in public places and the greeting culture; it all adds to the charm of this incredible city. Whether it’s for the cuisine, shopping, or rich culture, Tokyo truly has something for everyone!
