With our ultimate round-the-clock guide to the capital, you’ll be able to plan the perfect day – and night – in Tokyo.

From wolfing down a bowl of super-fresh seafood before sunrise to embarking on an all-night indie club crawl or soaking in an open-air hot spring at 3am, we’ve got you covered with brilliant things to do at every hour.

Hungry for something different? You’re in the right place: Tokyo is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest food cities, and serves as a culinary melting pot where innovative chefs showcase their distinctive and imaginative interpretations of cuisines from around the world. From flawlessly crafted pizzas to boundary-pushing Peruvian cuisine, we’ve rounded up the best international restaurants to experience in Tokyo right now.

Fruit picking and vegetable harvesting experiences are available outside the city year-round, but are an especially alluring escape from sweltering central Tokyo in the summer. In the mag you’ll find our favourite family-friendly farms for crop picking – all within easy reach of the city.

Ah, go-go boys. What’s not to love? These professional dancers elevate the energy of any event where they perform, LGBTQ+-related or otherwise. But who are these Adonises when they aren’t shaking their stuff on stage? We profile some of the city’s best performers.
