Tokyo is like a giant jelly made of concrete, tradition & soy sauce- with a sprinkling of nose-burning wasabi. Ever-changing it\u2019s almost impossible to answer the never-ending question of what to do in Tokyo. An ideal response would of course be a never-ending response. Unfortunately we\u2019ve got day jobs so we\u2019ll keep it short. Before we begin we need your attention! To fully enjoy Tokyo, or indeed Japan, you need the following: Buckets of stamina fed by buckets of ramen noodles To be able to use chopsticks to eat buckets of ramen noodles A Mobal SIM in your smartphone to help you find that ramen shop! Mobal\u2019s Guide on What To Do in Tokyo Asakusa- late evening Ueno Park & Ameyoko Market- day & night Yanaka & Yanakaginza- day-time strolling Shibuya- anytime of the day! Harajuku & Meiji-Jingu Shrine- daylight hours Yurakucho- late evening Akihabara- late evening\/night Odaiba- sunny days & balmy evenings 1. Asakusa Tokyo\u2019s oldest temple is a high-energy visit if you go peak visiting hours. Aside from the main temple attractions the side-stalls sell oddities & snacks. Great value\/choice for souvenirs. Try to be there when the sun goes down and the crowds dissipate for a more serene visit. See: https:\/\/www.mobal.com\/blog\/travel-talk\/top-tokyo-tips-asakusa\/ 2. Ueno Park & Ameyoko Market Less glitter & dazzle than the urban centres of Shinjuku & Shibuya- Ueno has everything else. With Ueno Zoo located in the Park it\u2019s the centre of Panda-mania in Japan. A walk in the park includes live street performers, typical street food, shrines & temples, museums & art galleries- all within walking distance. Outside the Park is Ameyoko- the last remnant of the post-war black markets where time has stopped & the open-front standing bars hustle & bustle each evening. 3. Yanaka & Yanaka-ginza A short 10-minute walk from Ueno Park allows you a glimpse into the Tokyo of yesteryear. Marked by an absence of tall skyscrapers Yanaka is ideal for walking. From Ueno Park aim for the Yanaka-Ginza shopping street. Once there let your feet be your guidebook for a lazy morning or afternoon. Expect to find anything from a sacred tree to a turtle cafe to a cutesy cat shrine- a rambler\u2019s paradise! 4. Shibuya Depending on your energy levels you may want to slump into a coffee-shop chair & spend the day watching people crossing a street. You might however be recharged by the sheer energy of people movement. If so walk into one of the many bars & eateries along \u201cSenta-Gai\u201d (Central Town). Stay long enough to watch those same people stumble across \u201cScramble Crossing\u201d to get the last train home. Shibuya is mildly addictive. 5. Harajuku & Meiji-Jingu (Shrine) One stop from Shibuya on the JR Yamanote Line. Harajuku is a \u00a0tonic to the pink gin of Shibuya. But only if you use Harajuku to access the main entrance to the wonderfully relaxing Meiji-Jingu Shrine & adjoining forest.\u00a0 Be careful. You\u00a0 could find yourself drawn to Shibuya\u2019s younger cousin- the infamous Take-shita Street. The street is opposite Harajuku station. Takeshita is a condensed version of Japan\u2019s cutesy culture- expect huge 100-yen stores, odd fashion and plenty of whipped cream crepes, cat cafes & cosplay people. 6. Yurakucho Fed up of being led to tourist traps by Tripadvisor. Go to Yurakucho to see how the locals unwind after work. Find a lively bar \u201cunder the arches\u201d of the train lines overhead & sink a few beers and typical bar food. Don\u2019t go expecting a nice quiet romantic dinner. Train rumblings & drunken madness will be tonight\u2019s soundtrack darling! 7. Akihabara If you\u2019re looking for a good camera or the latest gadget Akihabara is already on your list. If however you just want to see some futuristic Tokyo neon signage then visit late when the shopping frenzy has calmed.
