With so much to do in and around Tokyo, where do you start? We've curated 3 articles with our favorite things to do, places to go, and things to see so that your next outing is a little more interesting than the standard izakaya and/or sightseeing spot!
Ultimate Guide to Hiking in Tokyo
Wait! This one is up first because... Well, I can't take three steps without running into someone who 'loves' hiking. So, for those of you who are into the hardcore 8-hour day hikes or those of you simply trying to find common ground with that dating app match - this one is for you. Tokyo is often referred to as a 'concrete jungle' and hiking is a great way to experience the natural beauty that Japan has to offer, get some fresh air, and see more than just billboards and vending machines.
Ultimate Guide to Visiting an Escape Room in Tokyo
Escape rooms have become a popular attraction in recent years and those in Tokyo are no exception. You'll have an opportunity to find clues, solve puzzles, and uncover mysteries as you work your way through a series of locked rooms (which can be a lot more fun than the old dinner and a movie). Check out our Top 10 escape rooms and find out which ones have English options available!
Our Favorite Things to Do in Odaiba
Odaiba is a man-made island in Tokyo that has a lot to offer beyond the Gundam Statue. There are a lot of family-friendly and couple-friendly activities including Tokyo Joypolis (a theme park for grown-ups), Miraikan (a museum where you can interact with an advanced humanoid robot), and Tokyo's own Statue of Liberty. If you're in Tokyo and looking to get out of the house or planning a trip over, don't miss out on what Odaiba has to offer!
