Warm weather calls for nature walks, hiking adventures and water sports, and you can do all that without leaving Tokyo. Plan a day trip to the lush forests of Okutama, which is part of the Chichibu Tama Kai National Park and just 90 minutes by train from Shinjuku Station (stop at either Mitake or Okutama station on the JR Ome line). Come here to clear your mind and recharge by enjoying the stunning scenery around Lake Okutama, hiking Mt Mitake, or soaking in an outdoor onsen (hot spring). You can even indulge a bit by trying the area's craft beer and sake. There's more than enough to do in Okutama to make it worth the journey from central Tokyo.

With everything you could ever want and more, it’s no wonder Shibuya is one of Tokyo’s busiest neighbourhoods. From trendy fashion boutiques and shopping malls to restaurants, cafés and bars, there’s something for everyone here in one of the city’s most visited tourist destinations. However, many of us often end up at the world-famous Shibuya Crossing with no particular place in mind when it comes to eating out.  Granted, the food and drink selection in Shibuya is overwhelming, with options covering a wide range of cuisines and even price points. Feeling lost? Don’t worry; we’ve done the legwork to find you the best cafés and restaurants in Shibuya, all within a 15-minute walk from Shibuya Scramble Crossing. Whether you’re craving burger, curry, ramen, sushi or teishoku meal, we’ve got you covered.

One of the most popular destinations in Tokyo, Asakusa is home to some of the city's biggest attractions including Tokyo Skytree and Kappabashi kitchen town. More importantly, people come here for the majestic Sensoji, Japan's oldest temple. You'll find massive crowds along Nakamise Dori, the main street leading up to the temple's main prayer hall, especially because of the numerous shops here offering traditional snacks and souvenirs. However, there's more to Asakusa than this street, especially when it comes to food and snacks. To get your started on your street food journey in this traditional, bustling neighbourhood, we've compiled a list of the best snacks and desserts in Asakusa. So get ready to eat and drink on the go while you explore the area around Sensoji temple – we have everything from light meals and afternoon pick-me-ups to Japanese sweets and desserts.

Japan’s world-renowned efficient train network is a thing of beauty. We love being able to zip around the country on a shinkansen for a weekend getaway, but that convenience often comes with a hefty price tag. A trip from Tokyo to Osaka can cost around ¥15,000 one-way. Thankfully, Japan’s railway companies offer package deals for trips on a budget. Deals can include shinkansen tickets to and from your destination, unlimited public transport once you’re there, and even discounts on local attractions.  Whether you want to spend a day exploring Greater Tokyo, take a day trip to Nikko, or go skiing at Echigo Yuzawa for the weekend, be sure to check out these deals before you book your next trip.  RECOMMENDED: For longer trips across Japan, check out these JR rail passes for foreign tourists

Tokyo has its fair share of quality gelato shops, with flavours ranging from classic chocolate to salted caramel, but let’s face it – you can find those flavours in any other city. Trade your run-of-the-mill ice cream and soft-serve for something more exotic and Japan-specific, like sakura, roasted green tea or ume plum. You might even discover a new favourite flavour.

Japan is home to some of the best theme parks in the world, a few of which are close enough to central Tokyo that you can make a day trip out of it. Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea are popular among Tokyoites as it takes barely an hour to get there from the city centre. Even the amusement parks in neighbouring prefectures like Fuji-Q Highland are easy to get to, with multiple public transport options on offer. However, if you’re looking for something a little closer to home, there are several amusement parks just a few train stops away. Here are four within Tokyo that have everything from classic merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels to thrilling roller coasters and haunted houses. Looking for something fun to do while hiding from the rain? These are Tokyo's top indoor theme parks.

With the weather warming up, we're not far away from Tokyo's cherry blossom season, with the flowers expected to start blooming from mid-March. Hanami (cherry blossom-viewing) picnics are one of the most popular ways to enjoy the flowers during the daytime, but there are plenty of opportunities to admire the pink blossoms in the evening, too. Many parks, gardens, temples, shrines and streets in Tokyo have special illuminations and light-up events when the sakura trees are in full bloom – so you can still admire these pink blossoms in the dark. Here are some of the best places in Tokyo to see spectacular cherry blossom illuminations in the evening.  RECOMMENDED: Best places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo

Cherry blossom season is undoubtedly the highlight of spring in Tokyo, or Japan for that matter. Whether you hit the blooming dates on-the-mark, or happen to be here just before or after the full bloom, there are still lots of sakura-inspired events, cherry blossom sweets and hanami (cherry blossom viewing) happenings around the city. So really, if you're in Tokyo in March or early April, you can still revel in all the pink festivities. RECOMMENDED: The best places to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo

Tokyo's weather doesn't always play ball. Torrential rain (and sweltering summer heat) can easily scupper your plans to explore the city's coolest neighbourhoods or most beautiful Japanese gardens. But bad weather needn't ruin your day, because Tokyo has some excellent indoor theme parks and amusement parks. These indoor attractions are perfect for both adults and kids, where you can escape into virtual reality, hang out with Hello Kitty and friends, try your hand at VR games, and plenty more besides. You’ll soon forget about the bad weather outside. RECOMMENDED: More indoor things to do in Tokyo

If you’re a Hello Kitty fan in Tokyo, you’ve probably visited Sanrio Puroland in Tama more than once. Sanrio stans can easily spend a day revelling in rides and shows themed after all the brand’s classic characters. But that’s only part of the fun. While the main attractions are located within the theme park, you’ll get to enjoy adorable displays as soon as you arrive at Tama Center Station. It’s decked out in all things Hello Kitty along with other Sanrio characters including Pom Pom Purin, Little Twin Stars, My Melody and more. Here’s a walkthrough of the highlights. RECOMMENDED: Did you know Japan has a whole island resort dedicated to Hello Kitty?

Japan’s cherry blossoms are expected to bloom around the same time as usual this year. Although spring is the most popular time to see these flowers, you can still catch beautiful sakura during winter from mid-February onwards in several parks, gardens and shrines around Tokyo. You’ll most commonly come across kawazu-zakura, a pastel pink cherry blossom native to Shizuoka prefecture that usually peaks between February and March depending on the location. Unlike the spring cherry blossoms, which only last about a week, these have a longer lifespan of around a month. The other winter sakura are the kanhi-zakura, which are more of a vivid pink colour, growing on bigger trees that are roughly ten metres tall.  Here are the best locations around the city where you can enjoy cherry blossoms early, before the bustling hanami season arrives.  RECOMMENDED: Not in Tokyo? These are the best sightseeing spots for winter cherry blossoms across Japan

Tokyo has a vibrant drinking scene – and that's not just because the city has an insane number of bars and izakaya. The country is a prolific producer of alcohol, from amazing sake and exceptional whisky to craft beer, artisanal gin and wine. Whether you're a collector or just an enthusiast, these liquor shops in Tokyo offer extensive collections of rare bottles, from gift-ready one-cup sake to limited-edition Japanese whisky and more. Best of all, some of these speciality shops even offer tastings for around ¥100 – so you can explore new labels before deciding on a purchase or three.  RECOMMENDED: Head straight to the source with Tokyo's best urban breweries, wineries and distilleries

東京をはじめ、サンフランシスコでもミシュランの星を獲得したラーメン店を展開するラーメンマスター、庄野智治が渋谷パルコのカオスキッチンにオープンしたのがジカセイ メンショウ。 一番人気はたっぷりの牛すじと半熟卵が特徴のしょうゆラーメンだが、おすすめは坦々麺。クリーミーなごまだしと山椒のアクセントがきいた、しびれるような辛さがたまらない逸品だ。 また、同店にはオリジナルと比べても遜色のないハイクオリティーなビーガンバージョンも提供。麺はスーパーフードのキヌアから作られ、グルテン摂取量を抑えつつも、独特のモチモチした食感が味わえる。 メニューは全て、片手の収まる程度のカップで提供され、最後の一滴までワンハンドで飲み干すことができる。

With a total of ten ramen restaurants in Tokyo and a Michelin-starred outpost in San Francisco, ramen master Tomoharu Shono opened his newest location in the basement of Shibuya Parco. This modern ramen eatery doesn’t have a paper menu or ticket vending machine; instead, orders are placed through a tablet found at each seat.  The most popular dish may be the shoyu ramen, sporting a generous slab of beef and a perfect soft-boiled egg, but we can’t go past the dandan noodles. The creamy sesame broth is mixed with sansho pepper, giving the dish a numbing, spicy kick. Jikasei Mensho also offers a vegan version which is almost impossible to tell from the original. The noodles are made from quinoa, making them lower in carbohydrates and gluten while maintaining the signature chewy consistency.   All dishes are served in gigantic translucent cups which were made specially for serving Jisakei Mensho’s ramen. Roughly the size of a tall drinking glass, they fit perfectly in one hand, so you can easily finish every last drop of broth.

With sun, sea, sand and excellent movies, it’s no wonder that the Zushi Beach Film Festival is a popular fixture on the Golden Week calendar. This open-air cinema in Kanagawa prefecture is organised by Cinema Caravan, a group of artists and creatives who plan community events around the world. Every year it brings this event to Zushi, with movie screenings on the beach plus food stalls, a bazaar and live entertainment. Photo: Zushi Beach Film Festival The ten-day festival is screening a variety of Japanese and international films; half of them are English with Japanese subtitles. Every day is a different movie and the show starts at a different time. You'll find the film schedule here, but note that tickets are no longer available for 'Close' on Saturday April 27, and 'The Karate Kid' on Monday April 29. Here’s the line-up of English films: Friday April 26: ‘Sarvam Thaala Mayam ’ (2019), an Indian musical drama, where an aspiring mridangam student has to overcome multiple social and personal barriers to reach his goal. Saturday April 27: 'Close' (2022), a coming-of-age drama that tells the story of two teenage boys in Belgium who navigate the challenges of adolescence and adulthood, as they see their friendship drifts apart. Monday April 29: ‘The Karate Kid’ (1984), a bullied teenager who is new to town, learns martial arts from a wise mentor, discovering not only self-defence skills but also the important lessons of discipline, courage and friendship.

Spring is here, the flowers are blooming and many of us are excited to spend more time outdoors without bundling up. Cherry blossoms may get all the love and attention this season, but there are still a host of other flowers blooming all across Greater Tokyo. And you can see all of them for free at the two-month-long Garden Necklace event in Yokohama. This year’s Garden Necklace takes place from March 23 to June 9 and highlights some of Yokohama’s most impressive flower gardens and parks. You’ll find beautiful spring flowers like cherry blossoms, tulips, roses and lilies.  Here’s the breakdown of Garden Necklace Yokohama: what flowers are blooming when and where you can see them.

The Izu Peninsula is a popular weekend getaway from Tokyo, well-loved for its beautiful beaches and scenic mountains. You can easily come here for a day trip as it only takes about two hours from central Tokyo. However, come spring, you might want to spend a night at this beautiful resort. While there are many accommodation options in Izu offering comfortable stays, Hotel Kissho Caren, located near Izu-Hokkawa Station, comes with an extra feature – a spectacular outdoor onsen that overlooks Sagami Bay. Photo: Kissho Caren The Hekikai open-air hot spring bath is especially breathtaking in the early mornings when you can see the sunrise on the horizon. The evenings are no less beautiful, with the night sky full of stars.  Photo: Kissho Caren In fact, the hotel is surrounded by pink sakura.

On 1st January, Noto in Ishikawa prefecture was struck by a massive earthquake, which also caused a devastating tsunami that destroyed many homes within the area. While the instinct for many of us is to travel to the region to offer our help, locals are warning that this may not be the best cause of action. In a series of Instagram Stories posted from the area, Shin Takagi – owner and chef of Japanese restaurant Zeniya in nearby Kanazawa – has urged people not to come. Takagi warns that those visiting Noto post-earthquake without a plan, even with the best intentions of helping the community, could make the situation worse. “There are only a few roads leading to the area,” he says, but these are being blocked by members of the public causing traffic jams. In some cases, Takagi says, there have also been cases of those coming to help actually diverting attention away from the earthquake victims. “The roads are in a dangerous state,” he says, “so people break down on the way and ask the police or the Self-Defence Force [the Japanese Armed Forces] to come to their rescue.” Since the earthquake Takagi, who speaks fluent English and is connected to a global network of chefs, has been contacted by many individuals and international non-profit organisations offering to volunteer their time. He says his Instagram Stories were published to encourage people to think about the best way they can help, which may not involve travelling to the region for some time. He explains that the stor

Odaiba’s massive shopping mall Venus Fort closed permanently last year. But we have good news: it will now reopen as Japan’s first immersive theme park on March 1 2024.  画像提供：刀 Claimed to be the first immersive theme park in the word, Immersive Fort Tokyo is inspired by London’s interactive theatre shows, which started during the 2000s. Immersive Fort Tokyo will have a European-style interior featuring 12 attractions, as well as six stores and restaurants inside a 30,000 square-metre facility. Photo: Katana Inc. Here, you play a key role in the stories and narratives that unfold within the park. In ‘The Sherlock – Baker Street Murder Case’, you’ll encounter a murder mystery, which propels you to go around the park in pursuit of the suspect, either alongside detective Holmes or on your own.

There are plenty of incredible illuminations and light displays in Tokyo during winter, a time of year when the city shines much brighter to compensate for the cold, short days and long nights. This year, Shibuya Sky is joining in the year-end trend with its own Christmas illuminations until December 25. Photo: Shibuya Scramble Square The Shibuya Sky observatory deck at Shibuya Scramble Square is celebrating the holiday season with its Sparkling View event. One of the most eye-catching elements is the Sparkling Balloon Corridor. An entire walkway at the Sky Gallery on the 46th floor is decked out with ‘mirror balloons’ of all sizes. This will surely add some extra sparkle to the spectacular views of the city.  Photo: Shibuya Scramble Square Go up to the rooftop Sky Stage and you’ll find a unique and rather surreal Christmas tree. Shibuya Sky’s tree is made up of numerous light beams shining brightly into the night sky. Stick around for the special light and sound performance with bubbles on the Sky Stage. It comes on every 30 minutes from 7pm to 10.30pm. Photo: Shibuya Scramble Square Make sure you drop by the rooftop bar for some festive drinks and desserts available until Christmas Day.

In winter, people in Japan usually feast on hot pot, oden or a warm bowl of ramen to beat the cold. Perhaps seeking to upset that status quo, Kentucky Fried Chicken is now offering an alternative way to stay warm this season. Photo: Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan KFC Japan has unveiled its new spicy miso garlic fried chicken, which is now available for a limited time. At ¥320 a piece, the chicken is coated with a batter combining spicy togarashi chilli, miso, garlic and doubanjiang chilli sauce. We tried it and it isn’t too spicy, so you can still taste deep umami flavours in each bite. The seasoning is supposed to remind you of Korean jjigae stew – this hot and spicy soupy dish is commonly eaten during the colder months. Photo: Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan While you can purchase the spicy miso garlic fried chicken by the piece, the set meal is a better deal. It comes with two pieces of spicy miso garlic chicken plus your choice of side and a drink, all for just ¥910. This special menu is only available in winter, so don’t miss out.

Tokyo has plenty of city parks where you can enjoy a quick escape from the hustle and bustle. The city’s newest green oasis just opened in October and is located right next to the Japan National Stadium (also known as the Tokyo Olympic Stadium), within walking distance from Kokuritsu-Kyogijo and Sendagaya stations.  The city’s hope for Toritsu Meiji Park is that it will become a Tokyo Legacy park, to be enjoy by many future generations. While the park is still not fully complete, there are four areas you can explore now.
