Best stops along Odawara to Narita drive
The top stops along the way from Odawara to Narita (with short detours) are Sensō-ji, Meiji Jingu, and Naritasan Shinsho-ji. Other popular stops include Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Disneyland, and Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu.

Visitors can also explore the expansive gardens adorned with seasonal blooms. Adjacent to the shrine lies Yoyogi Park, where one can enjoy picnics amidst cherry blossoms during hanami season.
Really enjoyed visiting Meiji Jingu while I was visiting Tokyo. I was fortunate enough to go a little bit after it had rained, so it was much less busy than it typically is. If you can go during less popular hours, it really helps to make this place even more of a serene little getaway within Tokyo. It's a great place for a nice walk, and if you're in Tokyo I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Friends took us for a visit here. A beautiful walk into the temple… about 10 minutes or so from main gate.
Lots of activity going on including wedding photos in traditional dress. If in the area definitely make a stop by. It was also lovely to walk through the park it sits with in.
Andrea DiCastro — Google review
Lovely, serene walk beneath the shade of the trees before you get to the shrine. A relief to get away from the bustle of the city and the lure of shopping. Hear your soul speak to you as you pace through the paths. The grounds and the buildings of the Shrine themselves are also beautiful. Beware of rule about photography, particularly where at the sites where devotees are worshipping. I would say not to be missed when you're in Tokyo.
Chi Hong Hwang — Google review
This is a really beautiful shrine. I appreciated the story behind it and walking up to it through the forest is so peaceful. There was also an impressive display of painted sake barrels and it was interesting to read about them. There were many people and the day was hot but the trees kept us cool. It's quite a magical place. When I learned that the trees were donated from all over Japan and now it's a natural forest I was really surprised. It's so beautiful and I'm thankful that such an incredible place is right here in Tokyo.

Set in the midst of Tokyo's forest lies this serene shrine. Despite the bustling crowds, the atmosphere remains tranquil with pleasant weather. The shrine and its surroundings exude a simple yet stunning beauty. Nestled within the garden, there's a delightful restaurant and café, offering a peaceful escape to savor the beauty around. This is a place not to be overlooked.

A gorgeous shrine dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shōken. My visit was particularly interesting, as it happened to be raining at the time, which I think further enhanced it's beauty. I approached the shrine through a forested path, leading into the main courtyard, which is quite open and features a stone tile floor.
The highlight of my visit was witnessing an entourage of the shrine's priests passing through the courtyard. While it's not permitted to take photos or videos of the priests, just being able to see them was a very exciting experience. I wholeheartedly recommend visiting if you're able to!
Aidan Wright — Google review
It’s definitely not your typical shrine in terms of size. However, and due to its location near Harajuku and being actually in Shibuya, even if it can get tiring exploring the whole complex, there are many people who come, foreigners and locals alike. I’ve come here for a total of 3 times in the last 8 years and the volume of people seem to be almost the same, whether it’s winter or spring. There are many parts of the shrine that’s either paid, or freely accessible but you cannot take photos of. Also, you’d definitely wait to take turns to pray at the main shrine, or get your stamp, or buy your food, or use the toilet…you get the picture.
Bernadette Estepa (Gaijin Guide) — Google review
First Shrine I visited while I was in Japan in Nov. It was a long walk in till you reach the Shrine. You can throw a coin and make a prayer at the main sanctuary (do note you can't take photos/videos of the main sanctuary where people pray as well as the souvenir stalls.) You can also purchase a hanging tablet at ¥500 & write your wishes or gratitude on it to hang near the tree.
There's a divine tree that represents good relations of husband and wife. I happened to witness a wedding procession during my visit there, was eye-opening!
On your way out, do try the savory Dango sold at Forest Terrace! It's delicious!

This shrine was stunning and very peaceful. The area has a museum and gardens that can also be visited. These have to be paid for, though the shrine is free.
Inside the shrine are two trees, known as the husband and wife trees. They are huge and quite wonderful.
Photos are not allowed of the actual shrine or the amulet selling areas, but you can take pictures in the courtyard.
The area of the shrine is large, and there is only one disability accessible toilet near the Sake display. It is a distance away from the actual shrine, so do not leave things too late. The path is gravel in areas, so it can be difficult for manual wheelchairs or for people with walking disabilities. It is possible to hire wheelchairs but there is a long walk to the hiring area.
The actual shrine and the museum are accessible. The gardens are not accessible as there are steps throughout.

Une très belle balade en forêt au cœur de Tokyo jusqu’à un magnifique temple. Je conseille d’y aller tôt le matin, il y a beaucoup moins de monde et c’est bien plus agréable.
Nous avons eu la chance d’assister à une cérémonie (je pense?). C’était magnifique ! Je recommande !
Accessible très facilement en métro.

A very beautiful walk in the forest in the heart of Tokyo to a magnificent temple. I recommend going early in the morning, there are a lot fewer people and it’s much more pleasant.
We were lucky enough to attend a ceremony (I think?). It was wonderful ! I recommend !

An infamous Temple and garden in the middle of Tokyo, Japan. It is a 5 Min walk from Harajuku station. It is beautiful in any season due to their wide variety of trees and meticulous grounds maintenance. It is extremely accessible and free. Consider for a visit whether you live here or visiting.
Tom Funakoshi — Google review
It was a very scenic walk into the shrine - you can really feel at peace and zen here, with the occasionally ruffling sounds of the trees along the path.
That’s a train station right outside the shrine so it’s pretty convenient to get to as well! I recommend adding this to your bucket list if you’re ever coming to Japan!
Alicia Ho — Google review
Rich history and culture at this shrine. Very very popular tourist spot, so expect tons of people in your pictures or video. Still didn’t feel overcrowded where I couldn’t get around. It’s no wonder why it’s one of the top spots to see while in Tokyo. It’s a 10 minute walk through the park to get to the actual shrine, but worth crossing off the bucket list! Pictures shown are from a visit on a Sunday.

Meiji Jingu is a truly serene and spiritual place. The fact that it's open every day from 5:20 AM is remarkable, allowing visitors to find solace in its peaceful surroundings. If you're seeking a tranquil atmosphere for prayer and reflection, the morning hours are the perfect time to visit when there are fewer people around. This temple offers a beautiful and quiet escape to nourish your soul. 🌅🙏

Couldn’t capture its beauty as we came on a cloudy and rainy day. At 9am, the crowd still wasn’t there but are on the way in when we are leaving. Would come again when it’s sunnier but loved the tranquility. There is a whole park around the shrine for you to stroll and the trees are very tall.

This Meiji Shrine is a must-see! It's a gorgeous place to visit throughout the year. However, please remember to be respectful when you visit. This shrine is a sacred place of worship that is open to the public. So, while you enjoy the sightseeing, please be mindful that others may be actively praying around you.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, a former estate turned 144-acre park, was originally created as a recreational garden for the Imperial family. It is an Important Cultural Property and features three types of gardens: English, French, and Japanese. Throughout the year, the park hosts various events such as photography lessons, chrysanthemum flower exhibitions, and traditional Japanese art performances.
Went here for the second time and love it more! The garden is clean and spacious. Cherry blossoms can still be seen even though it is already at the end of April. There are also few tea houses and Starbucks in this garden. Great park for doing picnics and walking.

After a very heavy first night in Japan, I headed here to wander through the beautiful gardens. If anything is going to clear your head and help give you clarity in life it is this place! Sitting on the grass and looking into the distance you can see the city of Japan and it's beautiful skyline of buildings. The park was so quiet and serene, with so many pretty flowers and greenery. I remember many times in Japan on my trip, but this place was definitely one of them. Loved it
Laura Irons — Google review
Every time I visit, it feels like stepping into an oasis in the middle of a desert. The park offers a variety of seasonal flowers, plants, historical buildings, and even a modern Starbucks. If you're looking to escape the crowds of Tokyo, this place can be quite refreshing.
There is an entrance fee of 500 yen. It might seem a bit expensive compared to other parks, but the park is well-maintained and beautiful. I especially like the grassy areas in the park.
Just a friendly reminder that bringing alcohol and pets inside the park is not allowed.

温室目当てなら新宿御苑駅か四谷三丁目駅で降車して大木戸門から入園するのが楽かもしれません。
駐車場も同じく大木戸門にあるので、車で行く際も同様です。
ベビーカーや車椅子、歩行補助器具等を使う場合
誰でも気軽に楽しめるように開かれた植物園なので、入園ゲートから温室内まで通路が広くてフラットになっていますが、実際に自然の中を探検しているかのような傾斜ポイントがあります。

入口付近に温室内のトイレがあります。

珍しい植物が色鮮やかに咲き誇っていました。
ダイナミックでありながらも品があって感動しました。
入園料は500円ですが、これは値上げするべきです!
また行きたい!と思いました。

If you are looking for a greenhouse, it may be easier to get off at Shinjuku Gyoen Station or Yotsuya Sanchome Station and enter from Okido Gate.
The parking lot is also at Okido Gate, so it's the same when you go by car.
When using strollers, wheelchairs, walking aids, etc.
The botanical garden is open for everyone to enjoy, so the passage from the entrance gate to the greenhouse is wide and flat, but there is an incline point that makes you feel as if you are actually exploring nature.

There is a toilet in the greenhouse near the entrance.

Rare plants were in full bloom.
I was moved by the dynamic yet elegant atmosphere.
The entrance fee is 500 yen, but this should be raised!

One of my favorite park in Tokyo. Huge amount of open space and tons of well maintained trees and greens and different types of flowers. We saw lots of roses late autumn still. But we missed most of the foliage.
If you want a quick escape from this big city, this is a must go. Best for picnic on a mild sunny day.
You also see there are couple coffee and tea shops to relax a bit.

Peaceful park at the center of Shinjuku that is one of the most congested areas in Tokyo. It costs $5 or so to enter, but on the flip side, you can enjoy a very clean and peaceful park with a rich nature. The cherry blossoms here are something you need to see if you come to Japan in spring. Highly recommend a place to visit, whether you are a tourist or not.
Kaz Tak — Google review
One of the most beautiful parks during cherry blossom season. Absolutely stunning during that time. There is a large selection of different cherry tree species and most plants have small labels.
I can recommend having tea and some sweets in the tea house in the center of the garden.

Beautiful garden. Visited in mid-February 2024 and cherry blossoms were starting to bloom. Grass lawns were yellow though. Lots of people and young families come here to picnic or eat lunch on benches or grass lawns. There’s a student and senior discount on tickets too (250 yen versus regular 500 yen price).

Very peaceful very big island of greenery and tranquility in the center of the city. I leisurely spend their 4 hours and regret nothing. Heidi suggested to come in the cherry blossom time but regardless it's still beautiful. Do know that there's a small cover charge to get into the park

Just about a 10 minute walk from Shinjuku station, this park should be a must visit for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of shopping for which Shinjuku is famous. Yes, it costs 500 yen for adults to enter, but to access these lawns, small woods, greenhouse, the Japanese gardens, and other features I'd consider this a bargain! Just walking around and enjoying sitting on the lawn or a bench is a lovely way to spend a morning or afternoon and recharge - many people will pick up food for a picnic on the way from the station. Inside, the park is very well signposted, and points of historical interest have information in English. This provision of information extends down to trees and plants being labelled, even in the main park. The whole place is usually spotlessly clean, and one of the few public places that still has rubbish bins. There are vending machines, as well as a shop selling traditional Japanese desserts. Toilets are free, modern, quite clean and have soap dispensers. Just remember to check the opening hours, as the park closes in the afternoon!
Oliver Bayley — Google review
This garden is a must visit in Tokyo, the scenery is spectacular giving you a Insta worthy photo in any angle. The garden is great for any age. The park was so quite and a great place to clear your mind or just rest.
On my first day in Japan I took it easy and headed there for a few hours to ready up for the days ahead of me! The gardens are very well maintained with dozens of species of flowers and trees that cover like a canopy. The best time to visit is in fall where there are several colours of plants creating a beautiful contrast!
Hope this helps :)

Great botanical garden, lots of plants I didn't even know existed. Flowers were rotting slightly when I came. Maybe if you come in spring instead of summer you will see more. Average garden except for an indoor waterfall. Lots of special leaves and even vanilla, lemon, and coffee trees.

平日の夕方訪問。
チケット購入をゲートの前ですることも交通系ICカードで入場も可能。
中はかなりひろくてスタバ目当てに歩く人もいれば外人が中の景色を楽しむためにたくさん来てました。
途中ではかなり広々とした芝生の広場があるためピクニックしたり昼寝に利用してる人もいて気持ちよさそうでした。
都会の中で自然と触れ合える場所であり整備もされているため綺麗で虫なども少なめなのでデートでの使用もアリだと思います。

Visited on a weekday evening.
You can purchase tickets in front of the gate or enter with a transportation IC card.
The inside was quite spacious, and some people walked for Starbucks, and many foreigners came to enjoy the scenery inside.
On the way, there was a fairly spacious lawn square, so some people had a picnic or took a nap, and it seemed comfortable.
It's a place where you can come into contact with nature in the city, and it's well-maintained, so it's clean and there aren't many insects, so I think it's perfect for a date.

The park contains a well maintained grassland. Whether just sit here and enjoy the calmness, picnic or lay down, it was just so comfortable. Fresh air, tall trees for pics, and you can easily find a coffee for a rest. It’s a very nice place to wind down.

Not a Tokyo “must see” but still a pretty park. The admission fee is justifiable for those with a student ID (about $1.50) but a little high for adults ($3.75) We spent around a few hours walking around and enjoyed the open grass areas and zen garden bridges after our first few days in Tokyo, but after going to Kyoto the next week it offered much better parks to the point where I think this park is only worth it if you aren’t planning to make it to Kyoto. Additionally the Starbucks in the center of the park has a nice view and offers some Japan only matcha flavors which I think are worth checking out if you drink coffee.
Josh Webster — Google review
Gorgeous garden in the middle of the busy city. we came during early November, and the trees haven’t turned yellow or orange yet, still mostly green. But it is very calm. Tickets were 600 I think and cheaper if you are student or seniors. The garden is huge, but the map is understandable and easily comprehended.

I visited the park 3x, twice at spring and once at very late winter. Surprisingly the park was beautiful in every of my visit.
In spring, the park full with old cherry blossom, the trees full with flower until its bench so low so you can take pictures by just standing near it.
In late winter, the park full with ginkgo and momiji, their yellow and red make the park very very beautiful

Mother Farm, also known as Mother Bokujo, is a popular destination in Chiba, offering a wide-open area filled with friendly farm animals like sheep, cows, pigs, goats and donkeys. Visitors can pet and feed the animals in designated areas and take part in activities such as horseback riding. The Mother Farm Tour DX provides a tractor train ride through the meadowlands with stunning views of Tokyo Bay.
Perfect for kids, enjoyable, but unfortunately not the best weather. We were glamping so the strong wind didn't allow us to sleep very well. But service and conditions were all very good. My daughter had lots of fun. Highly recommended.
Gabriela N. — Google review
We went in the afternoon, during the week, many of the animals were being rounded up and put away before closing time. For our next visit we will go earlier.
Animals we saw look pretty good.
Good spaces for the animals but you can get up close and touch.
Rides look fun and we enjoyed the samba balloons ride but others where also closing 30 minutes before the end of visiting time.
Check the weather for the farm, it's on the top of a hill and for us the wind was strong and quite chilly. Great views to enjoy.
Felt like a business, lots of add on costs once you're inside.
Will go back again, but will be earlier and better prepared for the weather. Update: went back, was windy again, bit better prepared, but dry land meant quite a bit of duty and grit in the air being blown around.

We had company trip here. The landscape of this location is quite good and there were some game that you could choose. However, because of strong wind we couldn’t play zip long game that we were so excited. The lunch here was bad experience to us because the lunch mall was so hot and stuffy.
However we had some beautiful pictures here

Deep in the mountains. About 1 hour driving from downtown area. Traveling cost is relatively higher. Ticket is JPY1500 for adult, which is not cheap as well. There are many chances for kids to touch animals like sheep, goat and etc. Especially milking the cow is really attractive for kids. The grilled menu is nice but a little bit costly. It is recommended to visit there in Spring so you can enjoy the flower farm.
Martin Zhu — Google review
I have to admit that it wasn’t quite what I expected: instead of a little family farm that allows you to pet some of their animals and sells some locally produced goods, it’s more of a theme park with a petting zoo, restaurants and even a rollercoaster.
It’s by no means bad and I did enjoy my experience there. The entrance fee was 1,500¥ when we went there in the early afternoon and you get to pet animals (sheep, a capybara and some other more elusive animals) and see some shows (there was a cute little pig race show).
If you’re in the area it is definitely worth a visit. Would I go out of my way to go there all the way from Tokyo knowing what I know now? Probably not.
For the Instagram fans, there is a large field of violet flowers that are gorgeous and also ideal for stunning portraits.
There is also a glamping side right next to the farm with a great view and a firework in the evening (at least during summer)

We got the train from Tokyo to Kimitsu station then taxi to Mother Farm. You can get the service bus from Kimitsu but every two hours. First time glamping, we chose the Farm tent cost 55,000 yen for two adults one small child. There are several options website easy to understand. Farm large area, ideal for children 2 years up, feeding animals milking the cow. Location is stunning, restaurant huge and food decent. We especially loved watching the ducks. Large shop with nice food and cuddly toy gifts. Breakfast and dinner good quality. You cook your own dinner on a barbecue but staff were very helpful. Ideal break with young family.

It’s not changed a lot in the 10yrs since I last went. I can see they are spending money in certain areas - such as the glamping hill, bungee and zip line… but for the price of entry, I think it was 1500 for adults, there’s not a lot going on, basic landscaping and only a handful of animals.
Peter R — Google review
Good location. Up in the hills. When it's a clear day you can get views of Mt Fuji and Tokyo Bay. Well maintained farm. The animals are cute. It's all in Japanese so can be a bit difficult for foreigners. But nothing too hard. There is seasonal strawberry picking, kiwi picking etc.
It's a large farm but you can grab an internal bus that goes around if you get tired. It's paid about 200 yen per person. They also have activities like a zip line and bungee jumping etc. There is also a kids park and ferris wheel.

Worth the visit if you’re staying in Tokyo.
Mother Farm offers a unique experience with their animals. While a little further than majority of Tokyo’s landmarks.
We took the ferry at Kurihama Port to Kanagawa Port then a shuttle to the farm. They offer packages that include ferry rides with a Mother Farm ticket included.

It is an appropriate place for children. I would just not recommend to go during summer, as high temperatures may not be pleasing given that all facilities are outdoors and just a few shops/restaurants have AC. At the beggining it looks like it doesn’t have too many attractions but in the end we stayed almost half day on the property.
The views from the mountains with the flowers were amazing.

A great attraction that is kid friendly and dog! It was nice to be able to take our dog, and it be a fun, judgment free zone. The dog run portion of the farm has three large areas that are designed for all sizes of dogs. The food sold is of decent quality and very kid friendly. The attractions are also great for kids. Lastly, the views are amazing, and it's all within an hour plus drive from Tokyo.

This modern facility features various amenities such as food courts, eateries, shops and an impressive view of the ocean, Mt. Fuji and airplanes from its viewing deck. It also boasts a large parking lot with numerous stores to explore.
One of the best rest stop in tokyo and Chiba! Definitely you should stopover on this highway to see the beautiful view of Tokyo skyline and Chiba skyline. The drill they used is also shown there. It’s very pleasant in summer. A shortcut to Chiba from Tokyo.

You can experience an amazing view both sea and sky 🌌. You can enjoy the good food and Starbucks also there for a good coffee ☕️
I wish the merchandise shop should be there. But overall it was a good fun day.

This is amazing parking place in the middle of the sea . The view is spectacular and you will forget it's just a parking area. Restaurants and shops are also available. I'm happy to stop here ☺️ 🙂

We only happened to be here just because we were hungry and needed to stop somewhere. Whoever thought of making a ship as a rest stop right in the middle of the sea was a genius! This place is not only a place where you can eat, it's also a place to relax and unwind right in front of the sea! They also have lounge chairs and souvenir shops where you can sit and watch the sunset. It will make you want to stay in Japan longer because unique places like this can easily capture your heart and will make you want to explore the rest of Japan! So whenever you're on the road in Japan, be aware of places like this and make sure to stop and check them out because you might not have another chance next time.

One of the best PA in Japan and the only PA in Aqua Line! Huge parking lot and a lot of stores! I think this is one of the place that one would like to visit to view sunset. You could also see the beautiful ocean, Mt. Fuji, airplanes, etc. from the viewing deck... Whenever visiting or driving along Aqua Line, don't forget to visit this place... worth it!

This is the service area of the Aqualine Expressway, which connects Kanagawa Prefecture, Kawasaki City and Chiba Prefecture. There are many restaurants, game centers for children, Starbucks, coffee shops, souvenir shops and a wonderful 360 degree view. If the weather is good, the view of Mt.Fuji is very beautiful. Clam dishes, a specialty of Chiba Prefecture, are famous, and conger eel dishes from Tokyo Bay are also a dream. How happy it is to have lunch with a wonderful view. Please try it.

This is one of the most unique and beautiful service/parking areas you will ever see. It’s an artificial island. Be very careful because it’s very windy here, use extreme caution when opening your car door. It’s very beautiful day or night and there are plenty of shops and restaurants. Be sure to visit the free theater to hear an explanation about this place in English. (It cycles through a few languages so you might have to wait a little while) Travel idea: Stop by here and then to the Kisarazu premium outlets in whichever order you choose. This place is must see.

The artificial island in the middle of Tokyo Bay. Plenty of shops and restaurants, with an exceptional view of the sea. If you are planning on visiting this pitstop, try coming sometime around sunset or sunrise. I guarantee it will not disappoint you at all.

The Tokyo Bay Aqua Line, or Trans-Tokyo Bay Expressway as it was originally known, was first surveyed in 1966. Its purpose was to reduce the travel time between the two industrial regions, Kawasaki City (Kanagawa) and Kisarazu City (Chiba).
It’s basically a toll highway consisting of two 10km-long underwater tunnels through the Kawasaki waters, one 5km-long bridge over Chiba waters, and two man-made islands in between. Umihotaru offers a huge parking area and a ventilation tower called The Tower of Wind .My favorite place..Good view,Good service,Good squid 🦑

Great variety of food to eat here. Parking seems a little daunting when you first arrive but is a breeze with parking attendants to show you where to go. Awesome views over Tokyo Bay. Was amazing to come out of the long Tokyo Bay tunnel to find out transitions into this island and then a bridge.

Had the Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway Undersea Tunnel Adventure Tour. Registration details at their website. We joined the 10 am morning session. We learned how the bridge–tunnel expressway came about. There’re walking & climbing stairs involved. At the end of the tour, we were given some souvenirs & discount coupons to use at the mall.
We took taxi there from Tokyo Station. About 30 mins trip. However, there’s no taxi for hire to go back. Staff advised it’s best to take bus to Kawasaki Station. She also brought us to the bus stop. Thank you very much for taking care of us. We had a wonderful time. ☺️

The real development in Japan... if you want to explore than UMIHOTARU is the best place to see the bridge connection between two prefectures Tokyo and Chiba.... It's an under water tunnel with a view point in the middle where you can enjoy the calmness of the sea with the hardwork of all the staff who worked to built this amazing masterpiece.

Ueno Park is a renowned city park in Japan, attracting both locals and foreign visitors. Once the site of the influential Kaneiji Temple, it was transformed into one of the nation's first Western-style gardens while retaining its traditional charm. The park boasts numerous cherry trees, making it a stunning spot for enjoying springtime cherry blossoms. Additionally, Ueno Park features several museums and hosts hanami parties during the cherry blossom season.
Didn’t know that ueno park serves as a great place for cherry blossom viewing.
Even during weekdays it is crowded can’t imagine how it will he during weekend.
It is been restricted to sit or do picnic so please be aware and the cherry blossom was good and very long

What a pretty place especially when the sakura blossomed! We came on 25 March evening and there's quite a crowd here. The weather was super chilly due to the drizzle throughout the day (almost). There are some stalls at that area which sells hot food and it's definitely tempting but I didn't try. Definitely worth a visit here in spring!

Ueno Park is a very relaxing place to go after you grow tired of the buzz of the city. The fantastic greenery, the cool breeze, the birds singing will make you fall in love with this beautiful park. Definitely a must go for park lovers.

The place is very spacious, comfortable for walking. Lots of big trees make the air fresh. It seems like it has entered autumn where some of the trees' leaves are starting to turn yellow.
There is a zoo and some pretty nice museums to visit.
At several points there are also places to pray.
There are still many wild birds calling and flying.

This is one of the favorite tourist spots here in Tokyo. You can see the lake view, shrine and temples here. Well actually the place is quiet better if it is spring time because the whole park is surrounded with all the cherry blossom trees. This is a must see place
Ardith Telewik — Google review
Great park with long walkways surrounded by many cherry blossom trees.
In 2024, cherry blossom flowers bloom later than before due to the cold blast in the last week of March.
The park still attracts a lot of people to come look for some flowers that bloom early.
Rental boats have very long waiting line. The lake is large and the lotus has all turned brown and dried.
On Sunday, there is a second hand market and food stalls.

One of the best park to see Sakura, and it will be very crowded around that time. During the sakura season, you can see many people doing picnic in the park. This Park is pretty big as it has some temples and one of temple is dedicate to one of the famous "7 Lucky Gods." It also has the biggest Zoo in Tokyo where you enter for a fee. In the middle of the park there is a lake where you rent a paddle boat. Certain times there is a show (such as a monkey performance, etc) in the park or some flee market. Not to mentioned, they many some famous museums here such as the National Museum Nature and Science, etc, They also have a cozy Starbucks in the middle of the park. So there are quite things to see/explore in this park, therefor Ueno park is one of the famous park in Tokyo!
Massimo Burhanuddin — Google review
One of the biggest park in Tokyo to visit. Very close to Museums and the zoo with panda, this is a great place for picnic during the cherry blossom season (also at night!).
You can see shrines and a nice pond as well. I like visiting also Ameyokocho, the casual street shopping area just a new walk away from this park.

An absolutely lovely park!!! Highly recommend visiting the location, in a convenient spot adjacent to the station!
The ginkgo and maple trees throughout the park were thriving amongst the beautiful vegetation. I enjoyed gazing upon the fountain and other features of the park, including the various shrine areas. There were many maps guiding you through the complex system of paths around the area, highlighting key features, of which there were many.
Midnight Obsydian — Google review
I spent a lot of time here just soaking in the nature. I write this in late November, and although I didn't get to see the cherry blossoms in bloom, I did see the Ginkgo trees going green to yellow. If you watch these trees as the sunset starts you would see them look like shining gold. I happened to catch a Ninja Fest event by accident, there was some really cool stage entertainment and food stands (cash only). Plus the Tokyo National Museum is here and a zoo, so you could literally spend days at this single park.

Get off from JR Ueno station. The park is big with many cherry species you may spend 0.5 day there. There are places for a break and a drink. It's worthy to visit the national museum or animal zoo together. Photos were taken on 27 March 2023. Hope it helps everyone!

A big park. It can get busy. There are food stalls, toilets and garbage bins. The lake contained some discarded plastic containers. Come on people, put in the bins not leave it for the fish and turtles.
Great place for dogs and people watching.

Despite us visiting March 30 (in 2024), the cherry blossoms had not bloomed, and that's one of the key attractions for this park. That's a shame, because we traveled all this way. There would otherwise be boulevards lined with cherry blossoms, but in their place we only saw barren tree barks. Still, it was bustling and a lively place for people watching.
Kien Lam — Google review
Very easy to get to upon exit on any train stations. There's subway and JR rail access.
The park is huge surrounded by museums you can explore. The national japanese museum is also here so you have plenty of things to explore during the day. Went here on winter time. Guessing its perfect time for spring with all cherry blossoms.
Sensō-ji, Tokyo's oldest temple, was constructed in 645 to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy. It is located in Asakusa, a spiritual and historical center of the city. The temple features a 3.3-meter-high red paper lantern and incense believed to have healing properties. Surrounding the temple is a vibrant street market offering various traditional items for sale.
Beautiful temple
The shopping street and district around it are full of life. There are plenty of restaurants to dine at, cafes to eat at, shops to buy souvenirs from.. if you like Shiba, I'd recommend checking out one of the Shiba Cafe nearby
Note, it's extremely crowded on New Years, and entering the temple to pray can easily take an hour or more.
Enjoy!

Absolutely one of my favorite spots in Tokyo. Yes, very touristy but if you want iconic photos I'd argue this is THE spot for them. Lots of food and trinket vendors in the area and if you time it well, you may catch a local celebration which brings even more energy and food vendors to the area! As a bonus, you can purchase a range of blessings inside the temple. There are a range of Wonderful and historical items to view in this general area as well.
Brock Bell — Google review
We went there at 8am as it is a stone away from our accommodation. It was raining that morning so maybe that is the reason why only a few tourists are there, and we pass by the stores that mostly close at that time. Lovely to see the intricate connection details, the big lantern, pagoda, and the main temple. After a short tour, we decided to buy some snacks that are filled with red beans and it was delicious. When we are heading outside the temple at 9am, we were greeted by the big influx of tourist.
Czarina — Google review
The place was crowded but it was well worth it. Many stone carvings and statues around the grounds. There were lots of stands selling things or all types statues, mask, food and other souvenir worthy things. The temple itself was beautiful. A whole lotta red. You can pray or give thanks and they sell charms inside too.
Don Carrion — Google review
The temple buildings and grounds are beautiful. The architecture is stunning, grounds immaculate, and vibe amazing for Tokyo.
Coming from the main gate, you go through many vendors selling food, drinks, and souvenirs before you get to the temple itself. It's an extremely touristy in that area, and after early morning, it gets extremely busy and crowded. After you pass the crowds in the street market, it gets quieter so you can enjoy the temple itself more. So whether you go for the street vendor atmosphere or the temple itself, it's definitely worth a visit.

Visited before during the day in the past, felt like I was drifting in a sea of people, ha ha. This time I visited at night on a weekday and it was awesome; fewer people and the structures were far more vivid at night under both spotlight and moonlight.
Surrounded by markets and restaurants, cool place for a late night stroll. Pagoda was my favourite structure overall, seemed like fewer people were interested in it for some reason.

Sensoji is a very famous temple in Tokyo. Everyone knows this place. I often go to this place to shop at the shops around the temple or to take pictures with the beautiful scenery here. This place is always crowded with visitors especially on holidays. Many Japanese people come to pray at the shrine here. But for a foreigner like me, this place has become a favorite tourist spot in Tokyo.

This temple is a good start for new tourist to Japan. A long shopping street leading to the temple is nice for photos or souvenirs. sellers are nice, can speak English, offer Japanese stuff. The surrounding is full of restaurant and all kinds of Japanese food and desserts. Tourists are crowded in the front of the temple but getting inside will give you more air and better photos. You can also see Tokyo Tower from here.

One of the famous places must go in Tokyo, Japan. The shrine is crowded all the time; along the way to the main shrine, you will find souvenir shops where people shops for snacks and window shopping. Also, Japanese wears by travelers are also popular there. The shrine inside is less crowded and travelers are pay respect and meditation pray there for happiness and etc.

Very crowded and popular tourist attraction. I went on the weekend and I am sure it was much busier than on a weekday. I came by train and the station was very close and convenient and very crowded.
Many tourists were dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos which made the experience particularly nice. The temple itself is very beautiful. There were a lot of people burning incense which I assume has some religious significance. Also there are these boxes that have fortune telling papers. You shake a container and randomly pull a stick out of it which has a number which tells you which drawer to get your fortune.
The adjacent shopping area has a huge selection of shops selling traditional Japanese souvenirs and products. Also many restaurants offering primarily Japanese cuisine including Sushi restaurants.
This tourist attraction is well worth a visit for the ambience alone but also for shopping and eating.

It was my first time at this beautiful temple. I was super busy, lots of people came to visit and definitely could see why. There were lots of small shops and food stalls. When you made it to the temple it was stunning. There was also lots of shine and a beautiful little garden you can walk through. I would definitely recommend coming to see this temple. Five out of five
Devine Prasad — Google review
You guys probably already know that this is an amazing great tourist attraction to visit.
Even though the vendors are closed in the evening or at night, I recommend coming here at night as the shrine and temples are nicely lit and it is just different vibe compared to during the day. It is also less crowded for all the introverts who just want to enjoy a stroll.
If you come at night when the shops are closed, you can see the mural paintings depicting the festivities that occur in the shrine throughout time. It is pretty cool.
GANGIS — Google review
This beautiful temple is not just a cultural marvel but also a hub for local businesses.
Street like Food stalls to charming souvenir shops, it's a delightful marketplace.
Consider renting a kimono for an immersive experience.
We explored day and night; the crowd was manageable, and lines were short. The temple grounds are free, with stunning landscaping. While there's a fee for full temple access, the partial view is beautiful.
A must-visit iconic spot for tourists in Tokyo, blending tradition with commerce.

It’s one of the main tourist attractions in Tokyo.
Beautifully constructed temple in Tokyo. Lots of shops are available on both sides of the lane in the temple.
It’s also called as Asakusa temple.
Night view is really awesome. During Sakura season it’s a delight to see the beauty.
It’s of the picturesque spots in Tokyo.
Every photographer in Tokyo will atleast have 50-100 pics of Sensoji temple.
It’s the first temple I visited in Tokyo. So I personally like this place.
A must visit temple to any foreigner in Tokyo who believes in god.

Beautiful Buddhist temple, centrally located and easily accessible by public transport.
Get there early in the day for a less crowded experience, however before 10/10.30AM you’ll likely find most of the shops still closed.
You’ll find public restrooms and some food stalls. Food isn’t great but not bad either.

We came here ourselves and not with a tour group. This temple and the whole complex is bigger than we realised, and it was definitely worth coming to see and so remarkable. There were just far too many people at the main gate and along the main street leading to the main great.
With the benefit of hindsight, we should have come here early in the day, and not mid afternoon. Absolutely stunning and definitely worth seeing, but be prepared for all the people.

I love this place. It’s so relaxing and peaceful. There’s also many stores surrounding the temple where you can enjoy buying food, souvenirs, or just walking around. It remind me of a anime and feels unreal. We went late at night and there was still a lot of people and the surrounding of this temple have so much late lights restaurants. I love the atmosphere and highly recommend coming here.

Cool place, but it's a tourist trap. You need a paid guide to tell you where you can buy things at cheaper prices.
The gates and overall market is cool, but not alike any other "Chinese town" (obviously this is japanese) from anywhere. Well on that point, I wish we had "Japanese towns" everywhere.

The must visit place in Tokyo in my opinion. This whole area is worth spending a day in. A perfect mix of old, and new. You will be amazed at the age and beauty here. This is what I thought Japan would be like. It is a little crowded but everyone was so nice and helpful. Shops everywhere with awesome souvenirs at every price range. You are missing out if you don't go here. Enjoy and best wishes.

The temple is truly majestic! Its grand, solid architecture and vibrant colors stand out. Particularly famous for its colossal lanterns at the entrance, guiding visitors into the magnificent hall.
Surrounding the temple are numerous shops offering food and various trinkets. An enjoyable activity is dressing up in a Kimono and strolling toward the temple for picturesque moments. You'll find several excellent rental shops near the entrance.
Located just a 10-minute walk from the rail station, plan for 1-2 hours to explore the temple and its surroundings. If you're opting for the Kimono experience, allocate a generous 3-4 hours for a leisurely stroll. They also offer handwritten goshuin, making it a definite must-visit.

Very busy with lots of families. But honestly, it just gave off a lively experience. There are market shops and little food stalls along the main walkway. The temple is simply impressive. Beautiful architecture. I loved reading the signs about the history. Finding out that I had a “regular fortune” for ¥100 was honestly hilarious and nothing short of expected. Overall, it was a great experience and I definitely recommend.
Kevin Jiles — Google review
Came in the morning and night, and was surprised at how different the vibes are. Hands down I liked night better as it’s more tranquil and more temple vibes compared to morning where there are so many tour groups even though we came at 9am. The temple looks nice when lit up too. Maybe it’s nicer if the sky is clear as we went on a cloudy day. See pictures for comparison. Can go there both morning and night to see the difference for yourself.

2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032, Japan
Asakusa, located about 2.5 miles north of Tokyo Station, is a must-visit for international tourists seeking traditional Japanese culture. At its heart lies the stunning Sensoji temple, surrounded by a district that has preserved an authentic atmosphere from the Edo Period. The area offers a variety of experiences, from exploring Nakamise street and its traditional stores to enjoying lively evenings at Hoppy Street's Japanese restaurants.
Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu in Chiba is a must-visit destination, conveniently located near Haneda Airport and accessible via direct highway bus routes from Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shinagawa, and Yokohama. Boasting around 250 stores featuring renowned international designers like Armani, Coach, and Seiko as well as upscale Japanese brands such as Blue Label Crestbridge and Francfranc.
First, you need to grab a floor map of the outlet park as it was large and a bit scattering to navigate around. Not only was the number of stores were impressive, the quality and variety of products were equally so. PLUS, the restaurants in the food court of the outlet park did serve decent and cheap food. Highly recommended.
007Decky — Google review
TLDR: Worthwhile outlet that is not too far.
If you come from The US, do not consider an outlet here the same thing. While prices are lower than a normal store, it is definitely not as cheap a US outlet.
That being wide, Kisarazu is relatively close and easy to get, while having a good selection of stores and parking. It is pretty dog friendly as well which is a plus. If you are nearby it is worth a look if you have something in mind, or a lot of time to kill. It can get quite hot during the summer as it an open air mall with not too much shade, but the stores do blast their AC(good for us…bad for the environment?). The food court is also a good size to accommodate the number of people. And most important of all, good clean bathrooms!

It is quite convenient to take a coach from Tokyo Station to the Park at ¥1400 single trip. However, they have a package by paying ¥3150 and you will get ¥2500 coupon for spending inside the Park.
The coach station is located at the B2 of Tokyo Mid Town Yaesu while ticket office at B1. The sign board indication inside the building is very clear.
There are 6 departures per day starting from 9:05 am to 11:35 am at line 12 b and 6 returns from 15:30 pm to 20:30pm. It takes about 45 minutes to the Park from Tokyo Station.
Don't expect the price very low. That is about 20 to 30% lower than the normal.

Mitsui Outlet Park offers a delightful shopping experience with a wide range of stores, making it a popular destination for bargain hunters. The outlet park is known for its spacious layout and clean, well-maintained facilities. Shoppers can explore a diverse selection of brands, from fashion to electronics, often at discounted prices.
One of the standout features of Mitsui Outlet Park is its food options. The dining choices are diverse, catering to various tastes, and offer a pleasant break from shopping. Whether you're in the mood for local cuisine or international flavors, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings.
Parking is usually ample, making it convenient for visitors. Additionally, the outlet park often hosts special events and sales, which can make your visit even more rewarding. The staff is generally helpful and courteous, contributing to a positive shopping experience.
While it may not have the high-end luxury brands found in some other malls, Mitsui Outlet Park excels in providing value for money and a relaxed shopping atmosphere. It's a great place to spend a day hunting for deals and enjoying a variety of dining options.

Very convenience to travel from Tokyo to the kisarazu outlet, took a bus from Tokyo station and the journey took less than an hour for 1400 yen or you can choose to pay 3150 yen for bus and get a voucher of 2500 yen that you can use in the outlet for both food and shopping...saving of 750 yen.
There is a food court within the outlets too with sufficient good choice.
The discount is depends very much on the brand you bought, I got 3 winter wear from Oakley at less than 25,000 yen after discount and tax rebate.
To me it’s a better choice compared to going to Gotemba which is more than 2 hours away and the return bus from there is 5.30 pm, while Mitsui is at night around 8.30 pm to Tokyo Yaesu bus terminal.

Tokyo Skytree is the world's tallest freestanding broadcasting tower, offering a 360-degree view from its observation deck. It provides stunning views of Tokyo Tower, Odaiba, and itself illuminated at night. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a dinner cruise along Sumida River with Japanese and Western-style dishes.
Tokyo Skytree is a must go place if you are visiting Tokyo! Really cool area lot of cool stuff to see and do around sky tree lots of gift shops and a mall too. The Skytree itself is awesome usually there is a little bit of a wait 30-60 minutes to go up but it is worth the wait. Maybe if you go on a weekday it might be better I’ve always gone on weekends. Very fun trip and thing to do. Awesome view of Tokyo and on a clear day Yokohama as well. Very awesome pictures and shows how big Tokyo really is which is very impressive, it seems like buildings keep going as far as you can see. Very cool definitely go to the top of you ever get a chance very fun and awesome views of Tokyo.

Great overall experience and I would place this above the Tokyo tower for many reasons. The line to get in does take a while, and can be a little tricky to find the start of, so plan to arrive at the general area a few minutes in advance. The views are great and there are countless spots to eat in and around the tower. It will take a little longer than you would like to leave the tower from either floor. The second floor was nice, but not much different from a view perspective than the first floor. You can easily spend a few hours in this area and I'd suggest planning on no less than 90 minutes.

We arrived here about an hour before our ticketed time and had early bird tickets and scan the code and went in, such an easy process. I had used the official Skytree website as the travel websites didn't have the right time slots available. The views at the first stop, 350m, were spectacular. And then we went up to 450m and wow! We got to see MT Fuji in the distance against the sunset.a lot of people crowding for photos but we managed to get a decent view and it was well worth it.

My visit to the Tokyo Skytree was nothing short of mesmerizing. Rising elegantly against the Tokyo skyline, it stands as a symbol of innovation and modernity.
During the day, the panoramic views from the observation decks were simply breathtaking. I could see Tokyo stretching out endlessly in every direction, with its maze of streets and towering buildings creating a vibrant tapestry below.
As night fell, the Skytree transformed into a dazzling spectacle of lights. The cityscape sparkled and shimmered, and I was captivated by the beauty of Tokyo illuminated against the dark sky. The Skytree itself was adorned with colorful lights, adding to the magical ambiance of the evening.
One of the highlights of my visit was staying in a nearby hotel, which offered unparalleled views of the Skytree. Witnessing its majestic presence both during the day and at night allowed me to appreciate its architectural brilliance from different perspectives.
Overall, my experience at the Tokyo Skytree was unforgettable. It's not just a towering structure but a symbol of Tokyo's dynamism and spirit. Whether day or night, the Skytree offers an enchanting glimpse into the heart of this bustling metropolis.

One of the tallest structures in the world.
You can go to two different platforms the higher one costing slightly more. I definitely recommend the combo ticket.
Waiting for the elevators was not too bad at 2:30 on a Thursday but would expect it to be incredibly busy at the weekends.
All the staff were friendly and helpful.
The shop had a number of souvenirs.
There is a cafe but this will need booking in advance.
Oh, and there is the view. On a good day you can see parts of Yokohama and if you are lucky, Mount Fuji is visible too.
Would recommend buying tickets in advance but you will need to specify a date and a time for your visit.
One of the best places to spend a couple of hours in Tokyo.

Expensive, but so worth it! Perfect for families and dates with loved ones. There are plenty of photo opportunities to be had here and the views are simply marvelous. Sunset is the best time to be here. Children under 5 are admitted free. There is a sky bar with snacks, ice creams and yummy cocktails. The Tropical cocktail was quite nice at 634 meters up!

Tokyo Skytree is a must-visit attraction for anyone visiting Tokyo. Standing at 634 meters, it is the tallest tower in Japan and offers breathtaking views of the city from its two observation decks. The tower is located in Sumida, Tokyo and is easily accessible by train.
One of the highlights of my visit to Tokyo Skytree was watching the sunset from the observation deck. The 360-degree views of the city and its surroundings were truly stunning. I was also lucky enough to witness the rare phenomenon known as ‘Diamond Fuji’, where the sunset and sunrise align perfectly with the peak of Mount Fuji, creating a spectacular, jewel-like image.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Tokyo Skytree for its stunning views and unique experiences.

It was crowded, but the queue went fast until you get to the elevators to go upstairs. When you get up, it's very crowded. The food and drink is relatively expensive but also not too expensive. The view is phenomenal but it will be difficult to take photos of you. Unfortunately, I wasn't at the top because the tickets were all already sold out, so if you want to go to the top, book the tickets in advance, but even if you don't want to go to the top, I would recommend reserving the ticket!
Sophie — Google review
Amazing views of the city at the top, it's worth buying both tickets for the 2 top floors.
Nice cafe at the top too selling corn dogs, I bought 3 for myself 😋, your ears start to pop the closer to the top as elevators are quick.
Massive shopping centre downstairs with a pokemon centre and other shops for traditional Japanese items, we also got a caricature done which was really fun and everything was reasonably priced.
Outside was a Christmas market with lots of warm food to try.
Smoking area outside.

As a tourist this was well worth the time and money. Amazing views of Tokyo/Yokohama. Can even faintly see Mount Fuji in the distance. Mind boggling that the city stretches from horizon to horizon. The viewing decks have many interesting things to see, and the tower base complex has several other attractions. I recommend it.

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an unforgettable experience! The panoramic views from the observation decks were absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning glimpse of Tokyo's vast urban landscape. The structure itself is a marvel of modern architecture, with its sleek design and impressive height. The Skytree Town below also provided plenty of shopping and dining options, adding to the overall experience. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is that the queues can be quite long, especially during peak hours, but the views are definitely worth the wait. A must-visit attraction for anyone exploring Tokyo!

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was really fun and exciting, but also very busy. It’s a super tall tower in Tokyo that lots of people want to see. When I got there, I saw a long line of people waiting to buy tickets. But, I found out that buying tickets online is smarter because you don’t have to wait as long. You still have to get your tickets from a machine when you arrive, but it saves you about half an hour of standing in line.
The place was packed with people, but they have a good system for getting everyone up to the top. There are several elevators that take you up to where you can see the views. And wow, the views are amazing! You can see all over Tokyo from up there. There’s even a higher spot you can go to for even better views.
For those who like taking photos, this is a great place. You can get some really nice shots of the city. They also have a special elevator for people in wheelchairs, which is really thoughtful. Plus, there’s a place to grab some food and even a service where professionals can take your photo.
The only not-so-great part is how crowded it gets. But other than that, going to Tokyo Skytree is a lot of fun and something I think everyone should do if they visit Tokyo.

We got tickets online (same day) for just at dusk. It was perfect. While it was super busy, everything flows like a well oiled machine. The views were exceptional. It was really nice having snacks available at the top and an extensive souvenir shop downstairs. It was neat walking down a couple floors to a glass bottom floor and getting to see Tokyo underneath you. It was definitely worth the admission!

Highly recommend spending the 3100¥ on the combo ticket to go all the way up! The views are stunning! I recommend going before sunset ti get daytime views and watch the sun set in Mt. Fuji! Being able to see the other mountains were stunning backdrops to the vast Tokyo city!
There are maps in English and Japanese so you can join what areas you're looking on.
We paid using a machine with credit card the day of, no wait onna Friday afternoon. Plenty of bathrooms on each floor. There are 2 cafes, I recommend the one where you can have a seat and enjoy the view on the lowest floor before you exit.

It's was a good visit for weekend, it takes 3-4 hours to visit the top of sky tree. It's was very crowded and each times for using elevator need to spend minimum 20 minutes in line. If you visit it close to evening you can see a beautiful evening and also you can see the city on night mode with lots of lights.
Place is clean and beautiful. The price for adults is 3400 yen. The elevator speed is 600m per minute. It was good feeling use fast elevator.
Mehdi Sadeghian — Google review
An advice : don’t pay the extra price to go to the upper deck, it’s exactly the same view you get at the lower deck (only 50m difference), no difference at all except the price.
You have a nice 360° view of the city but that’s pretty much it, crowded with groups and kids running around.
For the price there is so much more interesting to do and see in Tokyo than this, save your money !!

For those seeking a stunning 360-degree perspective of Tokyo City up to Mount Fuji, Tokyo Skytree is the place to be, especially in a clear sky day. Just be aware that the attraction tends to draw a significant number of tourists, leading to notable crowds. The day I visited in Nov 2023 it was full with foreign tourists. So plan accordingly, as you may encounter extended queues and wait times during your visit.
Sandeepa Palipana — Google review
Worth a visit on a clear day! We could easily buy tickets on klook and saved 200yen per adult and only bought the tickets just an hour before we went up. Kids had fun up there too! Need to buy tickets above the age of 6.
Efficient and no lines at the entrance. You can buy at the door immediately even at 6pm (weekday)
Stunning view at night. We didn't try during the day. We paid extra to go higher to 450m. It's not a must
The view was good enough from the 350m actually. Possibly better? There is a little cafe and toilet facilities on each floor. Although it was busy at the top, it didn't affect the view at all. Don't miss the area where we can stand on the glass floor. Souvenir shop is cute too!

Visiting Tokyo Skytree was an absolute delight! Compared to Tokyo Tower, I found Tokyo Skytree to be superior in terms of both view and facilities. However, Tokyo Tower has its own unique charm that shouldn't be overlooked.
If I had to pick just one, Tokyo Skytree would win hands down, especially for its breathtaking nighttime views of Tokyo city. The experience was truly unforgettable, making Tokyo Skytree a must-visit attraction in Tokyo!

Amazing 360 views of the entire city. You’ll get a different experience depending on the time of day you go. May get a bit crowded but for the most part easy to walk around and take some great pictures. Easy to purchase tickets right on site, nice souvenir shop inside and located next to the mall. Great place to visit while in Tokyo.

There are many Skytree and Towers across the Japan. This one is one of them. We visited around late afternoon. It was still crowded due to Weekend. There is almost nil waiting despite of heavy crowd. We didn’t go all the way top and took the tickets for 65th floor, reached there in super quick elevator. Very well management, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the city, you can also enjoy night view since it gets dark early during the winter. We enjoyed the sunset and Fuji San view from the top. Good experience.

Typical tourist attraction. You can really see how big Tokyo is from the observation deck. I like that the 4 elevators are decorated for each season. Purchased same day tickets for the last available time 7:30 p.m. or 19:30 p.m. and it was packed. Plus it was super hot in there because of the amount of people. Only had about 30 seconds on the glass floor.
Alma Aguirre — Google review
Visited the Tokyo Skytree as part of a package tour organized by Japan Panoramic Tours. The best part of the tour was that we could go straight up without any wait, when there were endless long queue otherwise. If you are visiting independently be prepared to wait in queue 1 to 2 hours. Visited the Tembo deck floor 350 meter, then 345 and 340, which has the glass floor. There are a lot of restaurants and shopping options at the Skytree. The 360 degree view of the Tokyo city was nice. I guess it would be better in the evenings to see the city lights. But if someone is not able to visit it, don't worry, you are not missing much.

Love Observation decks, the higher the better!
Missed out on the skytree on my last visit so super happy I made it this time.
Booked tickets online and staff were great at navigating so many people while remaining friendly and professional.
The views were outstanding and worth going to the highest level.
Got a few shots of Fuji too!
There was also panorama shots with labels as to what was in the direction you're looking which is cool!
It was mind blowing and could have spent all morning here.

It is a magnificent structure. The elevators are very fast so get ready to feel the pressure in your ears. It is very well organised when you enter and the queue goes relatively fast despite all the crowds. You will have 360 degrees view of greater Tokyo are. The views are breathtaking. There is a restaurant up top. We had lunch there but you need a prior reservation. There is a cafe as well without any need to reserve. I recommend going up there

The effort to build this tallest observation deck is to be praised.
Big crowd even on a weekday. Crowd management is excellent.
Even though you buy tickets online and hot the online voucher, you still line up to get physical tickets. It doesn't take long though.
Go to the entrance 5-10 minutes before the time slot you pick.

The place is good for shopping cute things for children and kids at heart. The place has an amazing view up there. We had our photos taken for a souvenir. We got a cute stamp for the brochure and we contributed to the growing tree of cherry blossoms all over the world. It was a wonderful experience.

You need to get tickets for this beforehand or you will be waiting around. There is plenty to do while you wait, if you are into shopping around. It is difficult to get good pictures or videos because of all of the window panes and not being able to get right up against the glass in a lot of places. There are tons of people here. Still worth it to go up to the 450 m.

Nomizo Waterfall and Kameiwa Cave offer a picturesque setting for photography, with water cascading through a circular opening amidst autumn foliage. Although the waterfall is small, it presents an interesting geological feature that resembles something out of a fairy tale. The location is best visited early in the morning during sunny days to witness the magical effect of sunlight passing through the cave. While not as breathtaking as photos may suggest, it still offers a tranquil getaway with free parking and several dining options nearby.
Tokyo Disneyland is a popular theme park featuring thrilling rides, live entertainment, and beloved characters. In addition to the park, visitors can explore nearby attractions such as the Tsukiji and Toyosu fish markets and Odaiba, an artificial island with various activities including shopping malls and the famous Gundam Statue. One of the standout rides at Tokyo Disneyland is a unique take on the Indiana Jones adventure, offering a similar exhilarating experience with some new twists in its storyline and show elements.
Wonderful! Even though It was rainy Sunday, there were full of stories and magical sighting seeings!
Not so long waiting time for each attraction. Food from Chinese restaurant, named by China voyager, so quite good.
Many of staff were welcoming and nice enough to enjoy all. No English voice guide, but it was easy to fully involved into with very well known Disney’s stories.

I went as a solo traveler and have never been to any Disney Park previously, so my experience is very unbiased and tailored towards other solo travelers as the experience would definitely be different with family and/or friends.
The atmosphere and park layout were great! The queues weren't too long, granted I did go on a Tuesday. There are plenty of water fountains and vending machines around if you get thirsty, as well as many food places too.
The rides (as a solo adult male) were only okay in my opinion though. There was really only one or two exciting rides and they were average. My favourite ride was surprisingly the Star Wars one, that had you immersed even in the queue and the mini space experience was memorable.
The staff are probably the friendliest staff I have ever encounter in my life. Every single one of them were enthusiastic and smiling constantly.
The price was more than reasonable for entry to the park, as well as the cost of food and vending machines.
As a solo traveler, I give it 4 stars thanks to the excellent effort of the staff and the atmosphere they've created, as well as the value of cost. It loses 1 star due to the lack of any exciting or memorable rides.
All of that being said, this park seems like a fantastic place to take your kids. There looked to be a ton of rides for children, which I guess is who the park is aimed at.

We went in late March when it was raining a lot and the park doesn't provide much cover when getting around. I also got there around 7am on a Friday and it was already very busy even with the rain.
The rides where fantastic and the food was delicious though so it made up for it. It's really easy to get to by train and all the staff were so nice and helpful, it really made the experience more enjoyable.

It's Tokyo Disneyland what more is there to say! Great atmosphere and entertainment for the entire family. You will feel like a kid inside and have a blast. Experience the nostalgia of seeing familiar themes and characters.
Things to be mindful of, check the schedule for events at such as the light show or fireworks. Look for updates of rides or themes that may be down due maintenance or renovations. Depending on the time of year bring blankets, umbrellas or a pair of sunglasses. Express passes are available for purchase for those who want to experience more of the theme park at a more reasonable time. (If you have electronic media devices I advise using them while you are waiting line, or have a friendly conversation with those around you who also came to visit, there are likely just as friendly and excited to be there. People from all around the world visit this theme park!) Parking is fair and decent considering that most people use the public railways to reach the theme park. So vehicle traffic is actually quite minimal at least when I visited on a Tuesday 😅)
Food at the theme park is decent nothing ground breaking but satisfying. The souvenir shops are one of the best places to visit. Budget accordingly and have a great time with either your friends or family. Take pictures and save memories that will last. You will enjoy your visit *Guaranteed 😊 (in my opinion)

A fun attraction that is a must do if in Tokyo. The lines were not very long during this time of year but was still fairly busy. Small theme park compared to the states, but still worth the visit. If you stay at the resort hotels, it is easy to get to and from the parks with the monorail system, very convenient. It is also easily accessible via train if staying off site. Lots of places to eat.

My recent visit to Tokyo Disneyland during the New Year was nothing short of magical. The park, adorned with festive decorations, truly captured the spirit of the season, making it a perfect destination to ring in the New Year.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Tokyo Disneyland is the exceptional service provided by the staff. Every staff member I encountered was not only friendly but also went out of their way to ensure that each guest had a memorable experience. Their attention to detail and dedication to guest satisfaction is commendable and added significantly to the overall enjoyment of my visit.
The New Year celebrations at Tokyo Disneyland are a unique blend of traditional Japanese customs and Disney magic. The special events and shows put together for the occasion were fantastic, with vibrant performances and stunning fireworks that lit up the night sky, creating an enchanting atmosphere.
Additionally, the rides and attractions were as enjoyable as ever, with each one meticulously maintained and operated. The cleanliness and organization throughout the park were impressive, even with the large holiday crowds.
The variety and quality of food available were also noteworthy, with a range of options catering to different tastes and preferences.
Overall, Tokyo Disneyland during the New Year is an experience I would highly recommend. The combination of friendly staff, festive atmosphere, thrilling rides, and cultural celebrations makes it a must-visit destination.

if there's a chance, i highly recommend experiencing Disneyland as a solo traveler. while it may be challenging to capture pictures of yourself, even with a tripod, amidst the crowds, the perks include faster access to some of the rides, which is incredible. thanks to their app, which provides real-time waiting times and ride notices (for instance, the Beauty and the Beast ride had maintenance for about 1.5 hours before reopening), I was able to manage riding almost all of them.
bought my ticket at around 9,800yen and it think it's worth it.

I spent the time travelling with my friend at Tokyo Disneyland in winter in october 2017. The services here were so excellently. there was a theme park map that described the landmarks, amusement park rides, restaurants, toilets, etc. that were very easy to understand. Or if you had some questions, you could ask the staff in every amusement park ride. For the cleanliness, It was very clean because there were bins in every area. That’s nice and comfortable!. The thing that made this place special was the tourists could wear the costume or accessories to match this place. It felt approachable and enjoyable to this amusement park.

You have to buy tickets online then scan your QR code at the gate. Can get very busy and some rides were up to 90 mins wait. Takes a while to get food as well. However the staff are brilliant and you name it, they've thought of it.

Super enjoyable theme park, different spin on the classic Disney encountered in the us but very fun and exciting. Very impressed with the new beauty and the beast ride, such great decor and generally a fun experience. We used the priority pass a few times, which made waiting for the big queues very manageable but it was a little on the expensive side for it to be charged as a per person per ride cost. The park was very quiet on the weekday versus the weekend, almost a night and day difference. Overall, a great Disney park.

No matter how early you come, there will be a line to do something. The entry line was something I have not experienced since Aftershock Festival in Sacramento. After security it is pretty much smooth sailing through ticket check. Then you are at the mercy of the queues for rides. Food is good, popcorn is better. There is beer available and plenty of souvenirs. Rated a four due to length of queues for rides.

It was a great experience for sure! The line going in was long which is to be expected for any Disney park you go to in the world. The food was reasonably priced and very good! I suggest bringing your own food if you can. The train is the best option to get there! Tickets are not easy to buy online but try to buy the day of, that works for me.

I only wanted to visit to experience the Beauty and The Beast ride. We queued for 3.5+ hours, which almost broke me (on tired and swollen ankles from flying), with no places to sit/rest in the queue. The ride itself is a solid 5 magical stars, and I become quite emotional in the ballroom at the end as it was so enchanting. Didn't want to do anything else as the queues were endless - even for popcorn. Grabbed some food and some gifts and left.

It was amazing to finally get to go to a Disney park as I had never been before. While it was all pretty magical, it was chaotic in terms of how many people were there with up to 2 hours waiting for any of the non-reserved restaurants (with the reserved ones being booked well before the day). Not a lot of choice for Mickey Ears, but every type you could imagine for Minnie. Didn't go on any rides, even with priority access there was over an hour wait per ride in the harsh sun. Snack foods from the stalls we lined up at were super cute and tasty!

Prepare to wait in line for pretty much everything 😅 Plus, all the parades and the fireworks were cancelled due to the weather. However, I can understand this because it was a pretty windy day.
I do feel like they let way too many people in. It ruins the fun especially as you pay a lot to get in just to spend half the day waiting in line.
I highly recommend booking restaurants, attractions and anything else you can reserve!

Incredible place! Make sure you get there up to and hour before opening as everyone is queuing before. Once the queue gets going it’s quick.
Secondly be prepared to buy fast passes unless you want to wait 100-200 minutes to get on a ride.
The was passes were 1500 yen per person per ride. You need to do this as soon as you get in the park. There is also a time delay until you can buy another one.
At the time we went there was some 40 year priority pass which was free to book per ride but had a 120 minute wait before you could book another one.
Between those two things we managed to book 4 main rides whilst waiting for the smaller less busy rides 30-40 minute waits.
If you don’t do that you will wait the 100-200 minutes as from the first minute it opens until close the times do not change much.

it's a magical wonderland that deserves every bit of its five-star rating! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
From the moment we stepped foot into the park, we were transported to a world of enchantment and excitement. The attention to detail, the vibrant colors, and the whimsical atmosphere made us feel like we were living in a fairytale.
But it wasn't just about the rides and attractions – although they were absolutely incredible. It was the smiles on everyone's faces, the laughter echoing through the streets, and the sense of pure joy that filled the air. It's the kind of place where you can't help but feel like a kid again, no matter how old you are.
And let's not forget about the food! From delicious Mickey-shaped treats to mouthwatering snacks from around the world, every bite was a culinary adventure in itself.
Overall, Tokyo Disney exceeded all our expectations and then some. It's a place where dreams come true, memories are made, and the magic never fades. If you ever find yourself in Tokyo, do yourself a favor and experience the wonder of Tokyo Disney – you won't regret it! 🏰✨

Tokyo Disneyland is a fantastic destination, especially during New Year's. Despite its close proximity (just 90 minutes from home), we opted to visit early and stay until night, creating a magical experience. The park was bustling with crowds, and we had to utilize lockers (900 yen/24hrs) for our large bags located a bit far from the main entrance. With a 5-year-old in tow, navigating the various attractions proved challenging due to varying wait times (ranging from 180 to 30 minutes). Despite this, the evening electrical parade left us with unforgettable memories. Tokyo Disneyland is a must-visit, offering a unique and enchanting experience for families.

It’s a great Disney park with loads to do. With the 40th anniversary fast passes, I managed to do 10 rides. The wait times were usually pretty okay and most restaurants weren’t as busy so you had no wait.
The one thing that bothered me was the opening time. It’s advertised to open at 8am, by 8:45am thousands of people were cramped between security screening and entry gates. No communication what’s happening until suddenly the tv screens show they open at 9am, however at the same time, the gates open on the west side and visitors are let through, while the people waiting on the east gates had to wait until 9am.

Cute, fun place for all ages but definitely has more appeals for couples and families. The app is actually pretty good as it shows live wait times at each ride and location of each ride/show. Also let's you book in timed entries and pay for premier/express access.
The popular rides have long wait times throughout the day, so it may be worth paying for premier access (around 1500 yen per ride) if you're keen to save time.
Not the place to come for rollercoasters, but perfect if you enjoy seeing the characters and themed areas.
Tokyo DisneySea is a unique and captivating theme park located at the Tokyo Disney Resort. Opened in 2001, it boasts a nautical theme with seven distinct areas or "ports of call," each featuring rides, attractions, and entertainment based on beloved Disney characters and stories. Unlike other Disney parks, this one offers a more adult-oriented experience with its themed ports inspired by real places and ocean legends.
It’s an awesome amusement park and is really big as well. There are many fun attractions for all ages. I suggest booking a ticket in advance as there are limits to how many people can enter Disney sea because of the Covid-19 pandemic. I wasn’t able to ride some rides because I couldn’t get the standby passes in time, but it was still very fun and enjoyable.

Incredible experience, we went in December for Christmas time, it was just AWESOME!!!!
Disney staff were super nice and friendly and they were always there for questions or directions.
Rides were a bit fast with lines reaching 85min, but still great experience. A bit of an issue with the Disney app, wouldn't connect to register for shows or food reservations, dissatisfied with the app. You have to be on site to reserve anything as well!
Food everywhere we went was great and staff again were awesome!!!
Such an awesome experience for our family and my wife's birthday!

It’s so beautiful! The monorail is not free and you must have yen. We were able to walk from our hotel anyway. The park is gorgeous. Before opening the crowds were very large, but by 1pm people were able to walk straight into the park. The lines are 30-90 minutes as we expected but there are 40th anniversary passes you can use like fast passes for some rides for free or you can pay to bypass specific lines. We just loved walking around. The shops are not as luxurious as the shops in Orlando.

The best!! Our second visit and just as impressive as the first time. DisneySea has lots of rides but every single thing in the park is themed so even when not on the rides there is a lot to see and do! Use the app to book your fast pass options, it’s well worth it. The app also shows current wait times for each ride. We went on a Wednesday and could tell it wasn’t too busy compared to what it can be, but it was still really great to not have to queue. There was a wonderful firework/lights show at 7:30pm, so worth staying for that. You can spend the whole day here easily, it’s an awesome park!

ファストパスやレストランの予約など、ほとんどの事がアプリで管理されています。レストランの食事は、ちょっと値段しますが美味しかったです!初めて来ましたが、特にソアリンと花火が感動しました。ショーは大規模で行っており、ちゃんと見たかった気はするんですが、その間に乗り物乗った方が空いてるという方法もあるもので。友人と、とてもいい時間を過ごすことが出来ました!

Most things, such as fast passes and restaurant reservations, are managed through the app. The food at the restaurant was a little pricey, but it was delicious! It was my first time here, and I was especially impressed by the Soarin' and fireworks. The show was held on a large scale, and I wanted to see it properly, but there was also the option of riding a ride during that time if there was free time. I had a great time with my friends!

DisneySea in Japan - A Magical Journey into Fairy Tale World
DisneySea in Japan is not just an amusement park, it's a magical journey into the world of fairy tales and unforgettable adventures. My experience here felt like stepping into a vibrant, enchanting realm.
One striking aspect of DisneySea is its vastness. The park is uniquely designed with themed areas inspired by destinations worldwide, from Venice to New York, from Atlantis to Arabia. Every corner, every detail is meticulously crafted, creating a lively and captivating space.
A tip I'd like to share is about shopping at DisneySea. If you're looking to buy decorative items like hats or headbands, I recommend purchasing them before entering the park. Prices at the shops inside the park are often higher, and the selection may not be as extensive. Moreover, if you want to save time and money, avoid buying right at the entrance area and explore shops deeper inside the park where you'll find more choices at reasonable prices.
DisneySea isn't just for kids; it's a delightful destination for families and adults alike. The shows, fireworks, and entertainment options will keep you enchanted from morning till night. Don't forget to indulge in the delicious and diverse cuisine from around the world at the park's restaurants and cafes.

We went there on the weekend and it was not crowded at all. We really enjoyed the time there. It was a magical place and we loved every moment 😍 Thank you all the staff for making my birthday special ✨ I love to visit again once the new zone opens this year. Can’t wait 🪄

An awesome amusement park! Disney application provides arrangement for entrance of popular attractions. Foods and snacks were good and had so fun features.
Disney Sea includes some waterside parade and water-attractions. So different experience. FYI, due to Covid, it has limited number of visitors a day.

For me, this is the best Disney Park in the world. It is so different from any other Disney Park that I have visited (Florida/Paris/Shanghai).
We visited in December between Christmas and New Year on a week day and found the park to be busy. We arrived early but ride lines exceeded 2 hours for some attractions and stayed at around 60-90 minutes through out the day for Tower of Terror, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Soarin and Toy Story.
The park is great for rides. My personal favourites are Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Indiana Jones and the Tokyo version of Tower of Terror which tells a totally different story to the other versions.
Food is generally quite cheap and there is a good selection throughout the park.
The evening show on the lake gets very busy so if you want a good spot, you will need to find it at least an hour before.
It is also worth noting that the traditional fast pass system is no longer in operation at either of the Tokyo Parks with a new pay-per-ride system on the app. You can only activate this part of the app once you are inside the park. A fast pass will cost between 1,500 and 2,000 yen per person depending on the attraction. But could save you up to 3 hours in some cases on busy days.
Thomas Watts — Google review
The staff was friendly and efficient.
We ate lunch and dinner. Some of the restaurants only accept reservations and those fill up quickly so be forewarned.
My favorite ride was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ride. The wait times for the most popular rides topped out at 120 minutes. That's insane. So we found other rides. The longest wait time in line we could tolerate was 60 minutes.
Nghiem Nguyen — Google review
An absolutely magical day of experience. At a little over 8000 yen per ticket for an entire day of fun, it is worth the price over and over again.
Each themed area is beautifully crafted and full of photo zones. The rides are fun (although not as exciting or intense for thrill seekers), plenty of affordable food options and cheerful staff will make this a day to remember.
The night show, Believe! Sea of Dreams, alone makes this visit a success. It was a touching performance and yes, you should set up camp about an hour before the show to get a good viewing spot.
I truly believe this is one of the very best theme parks in the world. Please be sure to set a day aside for it!

The rides at Tokyo Disney Sea are on a whole other level. They are not only fun and thrilling but tell a story so beautifully. The areas where you are waiting in line have an insane amount of detail and thought to them. It makes the long wait times not as bad. I did go on a weekday off season (spring) and the wait times were about 15 minutes to 1 hour per ride. We did use the app to keep track of wait times too and it really helped. The interactive photos/videos and projections before the rides were so magical.
We also visited when it was their 40th anniversary so they had a nice show. Their fireworks/light show at the end was also a must see. We bought tickets to be able to sit closer to the front as well which I think was worth it.

It's a great place for enjoyment and to bring back the kids in you. Before visiting, get a good idea about the place and rides so that you can move fast and cover most places. You can download the official app, which will help you move around easily. Try to arrive early, before the gate opens. We visited on Monday, and even then, we had to wait 80 to 140 minutes to enter each ride. If you can purchase the premier access pass or fast pass, then you can access the rides pretty quickly, but it's expensive. Don't forget to enjoy the evening light show and fireworks.

This theme park is just so beautiful and awesome!
I arrived around 12 and didn't manage to get the entry for attractions that require entry request but I still enjoyed my visit a lot.
Magic Lamp Theatre in Arabian Coast is a live magic show combined with 3d film, it's is so amusing, I like! I rode Jumpin' Jellyfish, visited Ariel Playground, etc. I didn't ride the scary roller coasters, so I'd like to visit again. Oh yes, I enjoyed the gondola ride so much.

The park was really interesting and we really enjoyed ourselves. I was on the fence about going, but I'm glad we went. They have some unique rides that the other Disney Parks don't have. Their "castle" is really amazing to look at. My concern was the wait times. We went during low tourism and even then, the wait times were all over an hour for each ride. Fast Passes were not in service. That said, we were able to ride almost everything we wanted. The only one we unfortunately had to miss was Toy Story as it had a 2 hour wait time.
For vegetarians visiting, they had a few options for food. I recommend the vegetarian curry in the Aladdin area.
I read this place was geared more towards adults than children. I disagree with that. There is plenty to do for all ages, and there are many rides specifically for little ones.
Brenna Goldie — Google review
It was a great experience. An umbrella for shade during the summer months would be good. I came with my teenagers who like the big rides, these can be done in one day. We did 2 days but wish we had done 1 day. The park is very well attended, clean and friendly. Plenty of food to choose from, highly recommend checking the snack shacks as they each have a different snack which were good.
They gave thought to most lines being in the shade. Indoor kid area to cool off in the summer months. The rail was simple to use and get to the park.
Buying the park tickets from the US is not easy to do. I wasn’t able to buy from the Disney site but buying from klook worked perfect!

DisneySea offers a brand new park to enjoy that unique to only Japan. The theme here is very western Europe based. The ride selection isn't extensive but has enough to keep you occupied for most of the day. The food choices are plentiful so you can really spend the day munching away on some awesome cuisine options.

5年振りに行きました🌎
前回家族旅行で行った時は、朝早くから並びファストパスを取りに行くのが主流でしたが、現在はパーク内でどこでもアプリでプレミアアクセスを取得できるので便利です!
岡山県から新幹線に乗り、昼前に到着しましたがソアリンとトイストーリーマニアのプレミアアクセスは余裕で取れました✨️(時間帯は夕方〰️夜のみしか残っていませんでした)
前回家族で行った時は夜のショーも前の人の頭であまりよく見えなかったり、花火も中止になりましたが、今回は両方見れました🎇
花火も思っていたより迫力があり、凄く綺麗でした😍
ディズニーで花火を見たのはこの日が初めてだったので嬉しかったです!( ¨̮ )
今まで行った日は全て中止だったので…( ˊᵕˋ ;)
ディズニーに行くとチケット代・プレミアアクセス・レストラン代・お土産代等…かなりお金が飛びますね( ˊᵕˋ ;)
次行くのは当分先になりそうですが、また行きたいです!

I went there for the first time in 5 years🌎
Last time I went on a family trip, we had to line up early in the morning to get Fastpasses, but now you can get Premier Access anywhere in the park using the app, which is convenient!
I took the Shinkansen from Okayama Prefecture and arrived before noon, but I was able to get premier access for Soarin' and Toy Story Mania with plenty of time✨️ (The time slot was in the evening〰️ Only night was left)
Last time I went with my family, I couldn't see the night show very well because of the head of the person in front of me, and the fireworks were also canceled, but this time I was able to see both 🎇
The fireworks were also more powerful than I expected and very beautiful😍
This was my first time seeing fireworks at Disney, so I was very happy! ( ¨̮ )
All the days I went so far were canceled...( ˊᵕˋ ;)
When you go to Disney, you spend a lot of money on tickets, Premier Access, restaurants, souvenirs, etc. ( ˊᵕˋ ;)
It looks like it will be a while before I go next time, but I want to go again!

Oh boy, what can I say about Tokyo DisneySea that hasn't been said. I wouldn't consider myself a huge Disney fan by any means, but I think that's why it's easier to enjoy DisneySea. The park doesn't constantly throw Disney reference at you! You get to experience how amazing the immersion of Disney does without the random reference to throw you off. I went here with my significant other plus two friends, and we had a great time. The park does have an app that allows for fast tracking your way to certain rides, but on the day that I went, we actually didn't have to wait that long for any rides. The food was delicious. We had gotten food at two restaurants and hit up many snacks stands for popcorn and churros. I would recommend the curry and garlic shrimp flavor popcorn for savory lovers out there! They have many gift shops with tons of unique designs and merchandise to buy. It's currently the 40-year anniversary, so they have a ton of items revolving around that. There's loads of things to do, we came to the park almost when they opened and left after the fireworks and still didn't see the entire park! The entire park wasn't crowded until the end when we started to buy merchandise. I would recommend going earlier for those if you want to grab things because it'll be like sardines in a can in every shop! The shows and attractions are spoken in Japanese, but they do have a few lore and story bits written in English sprinkled throughout the park. Overall amazing experience, and I would definitely go again.

Happiest place on earth!
Disney just got it right here!
So much detail in every corner!
The rides aren’t the most hair raising or scary but they are done very very well.
The food is great and the atmosphere is so very Disney.
It’s only downside as with pretty much everything in Japan are the line ups to the rides. You can help that but getting various fast pass type tickets at an extra cost.
Overall….Well done Disney👌👌

Don't waste your money and time for queue if you are thinking of visiting this place during Japan holidays or peak season. You are just eventually paying tickets to queue. Go back sleep better. Their staffs were all fake smiling like wear a mask. All the rides are not thrilling at all. We are so disappointed and not worth the waited, these ride feels like they are mainly catered for kids, cannot be compare to universal studio rides.

Loved it. We received a warm welcome at every turn and I received wonderful customer service at the grill restaurant near Raging Spirits ride. I was alone with a toddler that needed to use the restroom right after getting all of our food. I found a staff member and he assured me he’d stay at our table to make sure our food wouldn’t be cleaned up — such a lifesaver!
Enjoyed the look and feel of the park. Kinda strange to be in Italy in Japan but kinda see the connection of the sea theme?
Was super pleased with our entire day — it wasn’t too crowded and we were leisurely able to fit in a handful of rides, eat some wonderful snacks including curry popcorn and a mango churro sundae dessert (both of which I highly recommend!), and fit in a night show within 8 hours. We will call the day a success!

One of the best Disney resorts in the world! Had a great time here.
All of the lands were themed and super pretty. Food was average and above but cheap coming from the US. Must try the alien mochi!
Seemed to be mostly local which was surprising. I would recommend purchasing the fast passes and doing the 40th anniversary free fast pass. Rides were on average a lot shorter than the US.
If you don’t know Japanese skip the shows!

Tokyo DisneySea is an enchanting experience for the whole family!
The park's unique themes and attractions captivate all ages, especially the kids.
From thrilling rides to spectacular shows, every moment is filled with magic and joy.
The attention to detail in each themed area is remarkable, making you feel like you're in a different world.
The staff's friendliness and the park's cleanliness add to the overall fantastic experience.
It's a perfect blend of adventure and wonder - a must-visit for any family looking for a memorable day out. Truly a 5-star destination!
Tobu Zoo is a unique destination that combines a theme park, water park, and zoo all in one. Visitors can enjoy thrilling rides, observe rare animals, and cool off in the large summer-only water park. The aqua park features attractions such as a lazy river, giant wave pool, fountain shows, and rapid river-style waterslides. Families with kids can explore the Jabu Jabu Adventure area with mini slides, shallow pools, and a huge splash bucket.
Best amusement place and zoo, garden etc. picnic spot spent quality time with kids.
Amazing ride for both adults and children.

Bought the illumination + unlimited rides pass ticket for 3200yen (for entry after 3pm) via asoview.com so I managed to enter immediately.
Highly recommend the go-kart ride! Zoo + amusement park + illumination. I had more fun than I imagined.
This place is a little old but has a retro vibe - nostalgic!
Kiki Kika — Google review
I went with friends there for illumination. Unfortunately, there was no bus at all from 17:00 so we had to walk for a while and we were alone on the street at that time which scared us, afraid if we were lost or something.
The ticket cost about 1300 yen if I'm not mistaken, and you get 200 yen off the next time you come to see the illumination again, so make sure to not throw away the ticket if you plan to go again.
Because of the access, there were not many people there and we didn't have to wait to ride an attraction. Oh, you can buy the pass for all attractions or you can buy ticket inside and just ride ones that you would like to ride. There are many ticket machine inside, so no worries. They have lots of toilet too, very convenient. I recommend this place if you want to see beautiful illumination without many people so you can take photos as much as you can, as long as you are willing to walk a bit to reach the zoo from the train station.

ENTRANCE FEE:
1900¥ for adults
-not worth it in my opinion.
PARKING FEE:

from what i have seen, some animals in their enclosure "feels like" they are not well-taken cared of. they look stressed and very unhappy. it was cold, and some of the animals are left very cold without any source of a little "heat".
-some animals looks very sick, like the white tiger on one of my videos who limps and looks hurting. it was traumatizing to see an animal walking back and forth limping in agony with no one to help him. 👎
-i have been to other zoos, tobu zoo is the worst one, me and my kids have been to. (my opinion)

Great for families. Kids can have a great time seeing all the different animals. Amazing to be able to see white tigers, giraffes, rhinoceroses, and lions up close. Ample seating, food, and restrooms. Go early before the park doors open and park in the west parking lot, very close walk to the entrance from that parking lot.

Really good place to visit and spen your time. We watched the winter illuminations also thats really good. We didn't did any attractions activities but next time surely we do. Its better to get the full pass and enter because its allows you so many activities. Otherwise you have to pay each activity individualy inside thats little bit costly.
They have special activities for pass holders like allow feeding for elephants, go closer to white rhino. Also becarefull when you are closer to elephants area they will trow some muds sometimes thats not intentionally they throw it for them selves but those comes outside the area.
Go early because some activities end around 3.00 p.m. Also some animals are not show after 4.00 p.m. You can find all information from there site.
Conclusion this is a very nice place to visit with your family and friends. You can enjoy alot. Staff also so friendly. Lots of animals to see.

We went on a regular weekday on a slightly rainy day. There was no one at the park, every ride we went on they had to start the ride for us and we were the only ones riding it. Sort of scary but fun at the same time.
Everything is clean, working and staff are friendly and helpful. Great day for the kids anytime. In summer bring loads of drinks there is alot of walking as the park is big.

I went there yesterday just to take some photos of animals. However, almost all parts of the zoo used cages that almost blocked any photographer from taking a good shot. If there could be a higher place where we could photograph them could help a lot.
For dangerous animals, they were in glass cages. This would help us a lot as photographers if it was not for the accumulated dirty or the high differences in temperature between outside and the inside that made it difficult for anyone from getting a good photograph of those beautiful animals.
For families and people just enjoying the view of all these great creatures, I think the park is a very good place to visit. As a person that went there just to take some photographs, I believe that I wouldn't go again for this purpose, anymore.
Some bad samples were attached here. Of course I took some other photos that were great, though.
Sandro Nakaguma — Google review
A big park with plenty to do. You got the zoo with the different kinds of animals. I dunno if the enclosures are the best for the animals but the visitors enjoy it.
There is also a small amusement park with a number of fun rides for kids and adults. Getting the all you can ride ticket is advised and it runs about 500yen per ride if you go single ticket purchases. The all you can ride wrist band works out to about 6 attractions which you can do pretty quick along with repeated goes on things like the roller coaster. There's a fun pool as well but that wasn't open when we went.
Beyond the amusement park towards the east gate is a pond/lake with some nice views and a wading bird area just behind that.
A decent place to go with the family for a day out.

Found this place by chance from an ad while I was in Tokyo in April. It turns out to be my most precious memory during my trip. It's easy to get there from Oshiage (skytree) Station. About and 1.5 (?) ride.
I went on a week day and it was a few days before their cherry blossom festival ends. So not much people. Although there was not much cherry blossom left, the canola blossom field are just so beautiful! If there was sakura, you'll get that stunning pink and yellow flower combination. (Come around end or middle of march)
*Check their website for flower conditions.
I recommend buy some food and have a nice picnic there! But there is a local market near by. Please clean after yourself & keep the park clean. Overall, I love it and will go back when I have a chance to.

Tokyo German Village is a unique theme park that offers a taste of rural German life right in Tokyo. Spanning 80 hectares, the park features various attractions such as a petting zoo, beer garden, shops, and fairground rides. Visitors can explore the expansive grounds by car and enjoy activities like fruit and vegetable harvesting. Throughout the year, the village showcases seasonal flowers including 5000 roses representing 200 species in spring and enchanting illuminations in winter.
Great place to visit during the day. Lots of activities like mini-golf, petting zoo, multiple play areas for children and more.
The place really comes alive at night! The illumination set up is world class and I was shocked at how detailed and extravagant it was! Its a doable for a day trip from Tokyo and I would highly recommend it.

The new Jurassic Park auto ride is very interesting. A lovable place to spend quality family time, or with friends.

TLDR: Went mainly for the lily farm, was worth it.
Lily farm was still worth it today, 7/13, but at the end.
We’ve heard of this place, but never went until now. Our main point was to go to the lily farm, and anything else we did was a bonus. This worked well for us, as the time that we went nothing else was really going on. It was raining off and on, but with a thunderstorm warning. Due to that all the rides weren’t going. I don’t think we would have ridden them, but if you had kids it would definitely be fun. That’s kind of the theme I think, with kids this place would be fun. There were so many random things that are fun, dinosaurs, medieval ships, rope sliding thingies, a suuuper long slip and slide, I can imagine spending an entire day here with kids no problem at all. Or even if you just want a nice open green space, so nice!
Our main goal was the lily farm, and even though we came at the tail end of when it is viable, it was still great. Most of the pictures came from there, and if you are reading this and wondering if you should go, you still probably have a day or two left to go!
You can also pay 500 yen(at the time we went) and dig up and pick flowers to bring home. This was actually a lot funner than we should, and the nice old man gave us an extra lily plant to take home! It’s definitely worth it and the smell of the whole place is overwhelmingly lily, our car ride home smelled like lily, and now so does our house.

Ichihara Elephant Kingdom, situated in the heart of Ichikawa city, Chiba prefecture, offers a unique zoo experience. The park is home to ten friendly elephants that entertain visitors with various performances such as dancing to music, painting colorful pictures, playing with balls, and giving rides to their keepers.
Such a beautiful and magical place!! The elephants were so beautiful, cute and funny,
I loved that we could be so close and interact with the elephants by feeding them treats! Top tip is to keep some of your treats for the elephant show, after the show ends you can get up close to them and feed the elephants:)
Feeding the rhinos were also super fun!
An absolute must try experience if you love animals as much as I do!!

Horrible place! Elephants, hippos and other animals are kept in concrete areas with lots of steel. Hardly any natural vegetation (grass, trees, etc) in which these animals should be roming.
Elephants doing tric and rides is pure cruelty. It’s seems innocent but the training is painful and stressful. Elephants showing unnatural behaviour.
Countries like Japan should be this kind of entertainment and the Japanese people should demand better animals protection laws and welfare.

Ichihara Elephant Kingdom is a elephant sanctuary in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It was opened in 1989 and is home to a herd of Asian elephants. The sanctuary offers visitors the opportunity to learn about elephants and their natural environment, as well as to interact with the animals.
The sanctuary is divided into two areas: the elephant enclosure and the visitor center. The elephant enclosure is home to the herd of elephants, as well as a pool and a feeding area. Visitors can watch the elephants from a viewing platform or walk through the enclosure on a guided tour. The visitor center has exhibits on the history of the sanctuary, the biology of elephants, and the work that the sanctuary does to protect elephants in the wild.
In addition to learning about elephants, visitors to Ichihara Elephant Kingdom can also interact with the animals. The sanctuary offers a variety of activities, such as elephant bathing, elephant painting, and elephant feeding. Visitors can also purchase souvenirs, such as elephant paintings and elephant figurines, at the sanctuary's gift shop.
Ichihara Elephant Kingdom is a popular tourist destination, especially for families with children. The sanctuary is open year-round and admission is charged.

Funabashi Andersen Park is a sprawling 40-hectare theme park in Japan, inspired by the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen. The park offers various outdoor activities across five different areas, including playgrounds, obstacle courses, a petting zoo, pony rides, creative workshops, and a water park in the summer. Visitors can explore replicas of Danish windmills and farmhouses while strolling through photogenic flower gardens and enjoying boat rides on the pond.
This place has “no age boundary”. Both children & those going to their second childhood would definitely enjoy this place. One day is not enough especially if you go with kids. Nice scenery & ambiance for elderly and also a good place to go on a date with your special someone especially if your on a budget. Bringing food & drinks are allowed. Today is the last day of halloween display but you can still enjoy the different variety of flowers. This time you can see cosmos everywhere. The best spot is the maze of cosmos. (October 31, 2023)

We visited in January. The kids play is relatively big and nice. Other than that and the animals hiroba, there is not much to do.
But seems like a better place in summer. Will make a visit later.
There are quite a large number of food stalls. Many parking lots too.

夏は水遊びでよく訪れる。
南駐車場から南ゲートを通って風車の前を通り、橋を渡るのが景色的に良い。
何度も来ていて、昆虫採集など自然体験ゾーン(森)にしか用がない場合は北駐車場でも良いかも。
何年も通っているが、まだ全てを見きれていないくらいには時間があっという間に過ぎる楽しい公園。
アスレチックから水遊び、昆虫採集(カブトムシやクワガタムシ、トンボにセミ、蝶などなど)と小さい子供が遊びたいスポットがたくさん。
ボート乗り場横のパン屋さんのパンが美味しい。

In the summer, I often come here to play in the water.
From the south parking lot, go through the south gate, pass the windmill, and cross the bridge for a nice view.
If you have been here many times and only want to visit the nature experience zone (forest), such as collecting insects, the north parking lot may be fine.
I've been going to this park for many years, but I still haven't seen it all, so time flies by.
There are many spots that small children want to play, such as athletics, playing in the water, collecting insects (beetles, stag beetles, dragonflies, cicadas, butterflies, etc.).
The bread from the bakery next to the boat dock is delicious.

関東屈指のテーマパークというべき存在!名前は公園なんだけどね…ちゃんと入場料がかかるだけあって、設備はホントしっかりしてます。それに多様な自然環境とエリアの豊富さ、敷地面積の大きさなど、充実度は他の公園と比べものにならないですね…
ガイドブック一冊くらい必要なレベルです😆
エリアはこんな感じ
①アスレチック
②ワンパク城
③動物&SL
④水遊び(下記)
⑤ボート乗場🚣♀️
⑥風車や花のエリア
⑦里山みたいな自然エリア
⑧各所点在の遊具
※細かく分ければまだある
園内にはフード販売もちゃんとあるし、自販機も多く点在してます。
四季に応じて遊び方はそれぞれですし、エリアが豊富なので活用方法の掛け算は凄いレベルだと思います。
中にテントの持ち込みや飲食もベビーカーもOK🆗なんですが、三輪車は持ち込むことができません😢
駐車場は混雑する時は10:00で満車に近くなります。料金500円。同じ料金で民間の駐車場も近くにあります。⚠️とても広いので駐車する場所は注意です!

Existence that should be said to be one of the best theme parks in Kanto! The name is a park, but...there is an admission fee, and the facilities are really solid. In addition, the variety of natural environments, the abundance of areas, the size of the site, etc., are incomparable to other parks.
It is a level that requires about one guidebook 😆
This is what the area looks like
①Athletics
② Wanpaku Castle
③ Animal & SL
④ Playing in the water (below)
⑤Boat platform🚣♀️
⑥ Windmill and flower area
⑦Natural areas like satoyama
⑧ Playground equipment scattered around each location
* If you break it down into smaller pieces, there are more
Food is sold properly in the park, and there are many vending machines.
There are different ways to play depending on the four seasons, and since there are so many areas, I think the multiplication of ways to use them is amazing.
You can bring in a tent, eat and drink, and stroller inside 🆗, but you can't bring in a tricycle 😢
When the parking lot is crowded, it will be close to full by 10:00. Fee 500 yen. Private parking is available nearby for the same price. ⚠️ Be careful where you park because it's very wide!

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when going. But, it was fantastic for families. Go if you want to catch beetles. They have sooooo many types if you look out for them. They had rhinoceros, stag, shiny greed gold ones, black with spots, etc. Lots of climbing courses for kids. A super long roller slide even parents can go down. But, be careful don't go down unprepared unless you want to get a burn on your butt or back. Lots of other slides and a generous playground area
There is also water play area so bring swimsuits or extra clothes. The water is only a couple feet and there are lifeguards so a great place to play. There is also a place to hose off after. There are also multipurpose bikes, boats, and crafts. Overall it is a great place but, go early if you want to catch beetles and people tend to bring tents or spot hog benches and tables even when not using them. Be careful that the ant hill is not under your bench or table. Lastly, there weren't many mosquitoes outside when I went in July but, saw them in the restrooms.

7月で1番混雑が予想された3連休の最終日に行きました。
どうせ、車庫に入る為に渋滞に巻き込まれるなら、と思い、8:30過ぎに着きました。
既に車庫はあいていて、日陰に車を停めることができました。
しばらくして、開園前に列ができ始め、つられて並ぶと、9:15くらいにゲートが開いて前に進めます。(とは言ってもメインエリアの前まで進めるだけ)
9:30にいよいよ開園。
みんな、木陰にテントを張るべく急足。
いくつか置いてあるベンチが人気ですぐに埋まっていました。
さっそく水遊び。
人は多いですが、芋洗い状態ということはなく
水深も大人の膝下くらいなので、
比較的安心して遊ばせることができます。
ただ、広いので、岸からだけで子どもを見守るのは難しいので、大人は水に濡れてもいい格好必須かと思います。
(水着である必要はないけど、裾はまくれるor半ズボンみたいな)
木陰も多いですが、日差し強いと水の真ん中は遮るところがないので、帽子必須です。
浮き輪や水鉄砲などを持参している子どもが多いですが、わすれてしまっても、水遊び場横の売店で購入できます。
アスレチックもあり、我が家は「アスレチックもやりたい」と言い出したので、
子どもはサンダルだけでなく、靴などあると安心&半ズボンよりも膝下丈のずほんがあった方が安全だなと思いました。

I went on the last day of the 3-day weekend, which was expected to be the busiest in July.
I thought that if I had to get stuck in a traffic jam to enter the garage, I arrived after 8:30.
The garage was already open and I was able to park the car in the shade.
After a while, a line started to form before the park opened. (However, just advance to the front of the main area)
The park finally opens at 9:30.
Everyone rushed to set up their tents in the shade.
Several benches were popular and soon filled up.
Play in the water now.
There are many people, but there is no such thing as washing potatoes
The water depth is about below the knees of an adult, so
You can play with relative peace of mind.
However, since it is wide, it is difficult to watch over children from the shore, so I think adults should wear clothes that they don't mind getting wet.
(It doesn't have to be a swimsuit, but it can be rolled up or like shorts.)
There is a lot of shade, but if the sun is strong, there is no place to block the middle of the water, so a hat is essential.
Many children bring floats and water guns, but if you forget them, you can buy them at the shop next to the water playground.
There is also athletics, and my family said "I want to do athletics", so
I thought it would be safer for children to have not only sandals but also shoes.

One of the best parks I've ever seen in Japan. Perfect for all ages. Splash area with small beach and stream, several slides including a giant japanese roller slide, jumping balls, animals, train ride and several vending machines and toilets (the only disappointing part as they were a bit dirty as it was a busy summer day). The shop inside sells toys, snacks and drinks and they accept credit cards which is a novelty in Japan. There are plenty more things to do which we didn't have the time. So definitely coming back as the entrance fee is also very reasonable. Tents are welcome.

Nice park with multiple activities, especially for kids. 900 yen adult entry. Parking 500 yen per one park per day irrespective of time. Picnic baskets welcome. Some food stalls. Nice long obstacle course. Animal petting zoo with the option of miniature pony ride. Hot dogs 550 yen each.

Went there twice. Kids was so happy enjoying the jungle “gym”. They love the long slides and jumping on the balls. They also did craft making candles. The flowers was beautiful.. Too bad we didn’t ride the boat on the lake. The line was long. We also enjoyed shopping and snacking near the windmill. If you have kids, take them
here!
Yulliana Murakami — Google review
When I first went I wasn't that impressed with the park but that was more due to not realising how much there actually was. Of course there are the athletic/adventure play grounds for the kids, but there is also a wooded walking area that has some interesting twisted trees and even though the majority is asphalt paths, there are a few dirt tracks that make for a regular wood walk. The areas outside the wood and behind the athletic parks are pretty interesting, too and lead through to the flower parks and European style village area which is quite beautiful.
The bridge that spans the two different park areas overlooks the boating lake which was pretty busy on the day we visited.
It's a nice park with plenty to see and do.

Having arrived at his park 20 minutes before closure I was skeptical about paying the full cost of going inside. After going in I was blown away at what they had to offer! I’ve literally traveled all over the whole of Japan and have visited many parks but I must say this park is amazing. Perfect for young lovers, children, and anyone wanting to enjoy the great outdoors, you can bring a small tent and relax. It was said that this was the most popular park even after Tokyo Disneyland was built. That’s no surprise. Cool park.
The Keisei Rose Garden is a stunning plant nursery showcasing manicured displays of roses in various structures such as pergolas, arches, and greenhouses. Visitors can enjoy picking strawberries during their strawberry-picking event and taste different varieties. The staff are kind and supportive to non-Japanese speakers. The garden also features beautiful blooming roses in October, although visitors should bring insect repellent due to mosquitoes.
Beautiful place, recommended to visit if you love flowers and want a little escape from Tokyo to refresh the mind.
With a wide variety of roses and special attractions, you'll find no trouble spending hours taking photos amid the charming fragrance of roses. It is especially beautiful in the setting sun.
There is a bus that goes there but it is recommended to walk as the roads can get congested - you might end up on the bus for over 40 minutes.

Visited on May 10th 2023. The garden was in full bloom. Magnificantly beautiful roses as big as a baby's head, and if you take the left route, you can smell the rose's fragrance, because they're still half open and ready to be pollinated, that means they have stronger scents. The shop is a little bit crowded, but we managed to buy some souvenirs with reasonable price for real rose oil.

Sayan Terrace Hotel offers comfortable beachfront accommodations with a laid-back atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the beautiful sandy beach and take advantage of hotel amenities such as a breakfast restaurant, pool, mini spa for both men and women, coin-operated laundry facilities, microwave, vending machine, cafe (seasonal), and gift shop. The rooms have large TVs and though the furniture may be old-fashioned, it is still satisfactory. Families with children will appreciate the opportunity for kids to play in the sand and water.
We loved our stay there. The receptionist were kind and helpful. They offered interpretation service. The breakfast option were good. This hotel is nearest to thr beach. It is recommended to stay at top floor. You find the hotel is kind of old. But you will get a great relaxed view of Pacific Ocean
Md Al-Amin Khandaker — Google review
The good:
- Near the beach (it was nice to watch surfer’s from the balcony and walk directly to the beach from the hotel)
- Free customer parking
The not so good:
- My family was almost double charged by the staff until I noticed and went back to ask for a refund. They immediately apologized and it was an honest mistake, but had we not noticed, that would have been pretty unfortunate.
- The amenities were old and the bathroom was still dirty with sand from previous customers and dirt stains on the wall.
- The male staff member at the front desk was inhospitable and didn’t even bother to acknowledge or greet anyone who came in or out of the building — he just glared at me silently every time which was uncomfortable.
- The public bath was not clean and the water in both tubs were lukewarm. Really disappointing.
- There are no ramps for suitcases or wheelchair accessibility and only stairs at the front entrance and lobby. A bit difficult.
For the price of Sayan Terrace Hotel and the overall below par service and stay, I personally think it’s better to find lodging elsewhere in the area.

Showa no Mori is a vast forested park with an expansive children's playground and a sprawling lawn. Despite being relatively close to Tokyo, it is not usually overcrowded and offers great outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking trails, biking roads, and bike rentals. The park also boasts a fantastic roller slide that stretches for miles, perfect for energetic kids to climb, slide and burn off some energy.
Extremely large park great for Cherry Blossom viewing in Chiba. There’s a full area dedicated to Cherry Blossum viewing in the middle of the park.
The park is very kid friendly but there are some areas that are difficult to navigate if you have a stroller.
There are restrooms, vending machines, & ample parking. The parking also is only 100 yen an hour.
In the middle of the park there is the biggest jungle gym that I’ve ever seen in my life for kids. It’s bigger than what I’d see at an amusement park.
On the weekend there are plenty of people with tents so feel free to bring one if you’d like.

An inspiring place for science and space exploration. The recent popularity of the manga "Space Brothers" made this place even more special. I particularly like how Japanese people love food and make so much effort on space food. Worth a visit if you are around Tsukuba.

A must see if you’re visiting Tsukuba. Admission is free and they have lots of neat displays with English. The gift shop is well stocked for visitors of any budget.

This museum is so nice. Its so good especially for kids who love outerspace or astronomy. It shows the exhibit of the spaceshuttle, spacesuits and other stuff that the astronauts are using during the space travel. They have tour guide, maps and a souvenir shop.

The exhibition centre is quite boring. The only main attraction will be the souvenir shops. There is guided tour but it costs you some Yen and plus it's in Japanese.

Children and Adults had fun just visiting various facilities in a guided bus tour with English speaking tour guide. Get to understanding the hardwork and preparations behind in all space expeditions.
Had an opportunity to visit the ISS control station where astronauts communicate with staff on earth at real time!
Wishing all the best to JAXA to their "Gibo project"!

2 Chome-1-1 Sengen, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-0047, Japan
Ushiku Daibutsu is a 120-meter-tall bronze statue of Amitabha Buddha located in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. Visitors can take an elevator to an observation floor embedded in the Buddha's chest, offering panoramic views of the countryside. Inside the statue, there are opportunities to practice calligraphy, see 3,000 golden Buddhas, and have shrine books signed. The surrounding area is beautifully maintained with a park for picnics and leisurely strolls.
One of the most beautiful places I have been in Japan. The tallest Buddha which is of 121m tall and it’s also in the Guiness world records. Very calm place which has a beautiful Japanese garden with a small pond with many ducks.
If we purchase a 800yen ticket, we get to see the entire place. Especially inside the Buddha statue there will be 4 floors where there is an observatory deck too.
One needs to check the frequency of buses from Ushiku station if you are taking public transportation.

120m tall Buddha is the main attraction. The buddha is very calm and one cant take eyes off from him! There is an observation desk inside buddha at 85m, some other galleries and souvenir shop. It is surrounded by beautiful Japanese style garden and offers flower beds based on the season. It also has small shopping area where you can buy local stuffs and souvenirs. Definitely a must go!

初めて行きました。
高さ120mと世界最大でギネスに登録されているそうです。
近くに行く途中で大きな大仏が見えてくるので大迫力です。
中にも入れて、エレベーターで85mの高さまで上がれるので、大迫力で大満足です。さらに入館料800円とお安く、庭園や紫陽花も鑑賞でき、本当にお安く、大満足です。
また、猿回しショーまで見ることが出来、本当に楽しかったです。

I went there for the first time.
With a height of 120m, it is registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the tallest in the world.
It is very powerful because you can see the big Buddha on the way to near.
You can put it inside and take the elevator up to a height of 85m. In addition, the admission fee is cheap at 800 yen, and you can appreciate the garden and hydrangeas, which is really cheap and very satisfying.
Also, I was able to see the monkey show, which was really fun.

This Majestic statue has an elevator that brings visitors up 85 m (279 ft) to an observation floor . Visitors can even view Mt Fuji from this observatory platform if the weather is clear. As you follow the path leading to Uchiko Daitbutsu, you will also be attracted by the seasonal bloom, and this summer, we are seeing some lavender blooming along with other species such as sunflowers & fire forest. Plan your schedule or drive to Uchiko if possible as the waiting time for the public transport can be quite long. Tickets payment in cash only,

The Buddha statue with a height of 120 meters is very amazing with beautiful views around it.
And I also went inside and went up to the 5th floor.
Inside there are also lots of Buddha statues on the walls.
From the 5th floor you can see the surroundings from above.
Maybe if it comes in spring there will be lots of cherry blossoms there
Fretti Wulandari — Google review
While some reviews mention a negative atmosphere or vibe, my wife and I didn't feel that way and really enjoyed our visit. We went on 10 April 2024 and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom as well as the beautiful bright pink flowers surrounding the pond that represents the pool of life.
The statue itself is very impressive...almost awe-inspiring...as you get closer you can look up and realize just how massive it is. The park and Japanese garden are also very enjoyable to walk through and explore. If I had planned better I would have brought a blanket for a picnic!
Chris Birdwell — Google review
Very cool buddha. It's worth the trip! He is huge and you can go inside and about half way up in an elevator. Make sure it's included when you buy your ticket though. They have some nice flowers around the pond depending on the time of year. The big pond however needs some fish or something...it's nothing special. They also have picnic tables, to enjoy food while looking at buddha. A few shops are located at the entrance with souvineirs and sweets.

週末に行きました。あじさいの季節で大仏手前の庭園では見事に咲き誇っていました。
拝観料がありますが、初めて行く方は絶対に大仏の中まで入れる券の購入をおすすめします。
大仏の中が寺になっており、お坊さんが毎日必ず読経をされるそうです。御朱印もありますが、大仏内のみなので中まで入れる券でないと御朱印は頂けません。
大仏の中はガイドの方が丁寧に説明をして下さいます。中は5階建てになっていますが、ビルでいう28階に相当する高さです。大仏が向いている方向は生誕の地であるインドだそうです。
お守りや数珠、御朱印帳も大仏内にありました。
途中、外へ出られる場所があり、大仏の台座の上の足元から見上げる事も出来ます。
あまりそうゆうのに興味がなかった同行者も、めちゃくちゃ楽しかった!!と言っていましたので、1度は訪れてほしいとおすすめできるスポットでした!

Went on weekends. In the season of hydrangeas, the garden in front of the Great Buddha was in full bloom.
There is an admission fee, but if you are visiting for the first time, we definitely recommend purchasing a ticket that allows you to go inside the Great Buddha.
The inside of the Great Buddha is a temple, and it is said that monks read sutras every day. There is also a red stamp, but since it is only inside the Great Buddha, you can not get a red stamp unless you have a ticket to enter inside.
The inside of the Great Buddha will be carefully explained by the guide. The inside is 5 stories high, which is equivalent to the 28th floor of a building. It is said that the direction facing the Great Buddha is India, the birthplace.
There were also amulets, prayer beads, and stamp books inside the Great Buddha.
On the way, there is a place where you can go outside, and you can look up from your feet on the pedestal of the Great Buddha.
Even my companion, who wasn't really interested in that sort of thing, had a lot of fun! ! As I said, it was a recommended spot to visit once!

Went to visit this massive Buddha in Ibaraki and the size was quite breathtaking . Interesting to be able to go up to the inside of the Buddha and observe outwards but sadly limited photography or window view.
The place was nice but quite sparse public transport towards it , roughly one every hour. Would drive up if passing by.

Huge Standing Buddha Statue. 120m tall, the tallest in the world.
You can also visit the inside however the nicest part is the outside area (park included).
If you are in the area I suggest you to stop by, you won’t be disappointed.

One of the highly recommended place to visit in japan. It’s the tallest statue of Lord Buddha and it’s taller than Statue of Liberty. You can buy ticket and visit inside the statue. You can buy souvenirs and you can get fortune from here. The atmosphere is very quiet and has positive vibe. The surrounding area covered with cherry blossoms 🌸 so it has the most beautiful view in spring season.

The Ushiku Daibutsu is the world's largest 120 meter bronze Buddha statue. The statue is surrounded by a flower garden and you can go to the top floor when enter and use the elevator. In the garden patio there is also a monkey stage and show that you can watch for free after you finish your time exploring the statue. This was a really cool experience and I recommend you visit, it costs ¥800 for adults to enter.

This is the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world. While you can see the Daibutsu from the parking lot, in order to see it head on and get close to it, you’ll need to purchase an entrance ticket. You can choose a ticket just for the grounds, or to go inside the Daibutsu. Depending on the time of year you visit, it seems like it can take a few hours to get to the museums and temple inside. During Golden Week, the line waiting to get inside was well over an hour long. One of the goshuin is only available from the 2nd floor of the Daibutsu.
The seasonal flowers planted across the park were beautiful and made for great photo opportunities. I imagine when it's less crowded this would be a very peaceful place to come and relax.
However, it is important to be respectful of the space. The park has signs and warnings about picnicking and camping out with food since this is a holy pilgrimage spot.
Rachel Boatwright — Google review
実際に間近でその姿を目にすると、思わず笑ってしまうくらいに大きい。全長120m。正に『大仏』。
…ちなみに、こちらは南無阿弥陀仏の阿弥陀佛なので、『牛久阿弥陀大仏』と呼ぶのが正しいらしい。
ともあれ、要は人の信心を集めるための宗教施設なので、周囲に邪魔になるような高い建築物も無く、綺麗に手入れされた庭園に、各施設も丁寧に整備されていて、歩くだけでも、とても気持ちが良い。
そして大仏の胎内に入ると、エレベーターで85mの高さ、大仏の胸の辺りまで登ることができるのも魅力。
ただ、仏像という性質上、さすがに大きな窓を設けることも出来ないので、十分に景色を愉しむ事は出来ない。なので見晴らしを期待する人には正直向かないかと思う。
とはいえ、雰囲気のある広い写経場や、金色の胎内仏が数千体ひしめき並ぶ空間があったりと、胎内巡りそのものは中々に愉しめる。
ちなみに、子供向けレジャー的な付帯施設は、敷地内外共に特に無いので、子供連れな人は注意。

It's so big that you can't help but laugh when you see it up close. Total length 120m. Exactly "Great Buddha".
…By the way, this is the Amida Buddha of Namu Amida Butsu, so it seems to be correct to call it “Ushiku Amida Daibutsu”.
In any case, since it is a religious facility that gathers people's faith, there are no tall buildings that can get in the way, and the garden is beautifully maintained, and each facility is carefully maintained. I feel so good.
Once you enter the womb of the Great Buddha, you can take the elevator up to a height of 85m, which is also attractive as you can climb up to the height of the Great Buddha's chest.
However, due to the nature of Buddhist statues, it is not possible to install large windows, so it is not possible to fully enjoy the scenery. So I honestly don't think it's suitable for people who expect a view.
Nonetheless, there is a spacious sutra-copying place with an atmosphere and a space where thousands of golden Buddha statues are lined up.
By the way, there are no leisure-related facilities for children, both inside and outside the premises, so be careful if you are with children.

Very peaceful and nice, recommend to buy tickets (additional 300¥ ) to go inside the statue where you can go up till the heart region of the Buddha statue through elevator (5th floor) but you can board it from second floor. To come down you need to walk down steps till 4th floor. It was crazy hot on the Saturday afternoon outside but inside was having cooling. One lady had heatstroke so car plenty of water and UV/Sun blocking umbrellas. There are a lot of souvenir shops inside and a room full of small Buddha statues and one meditation room. The koi fish pond and gardens around the statue is so peaceful and well kept. We had a blissful time apart from the scorching heat.

The biggest Buddha statue in Japan. It has various flowers.
Food trucks are available outside of the park.
There is no instructions about re-entering, but you can enter as many times as you want if it is in the same day.

Definitely worth visiting and a really good experience if you have time in Ibaraki! It was only about 500¥ or so for entry and ride up inside the Buddha. Very friendly staff and easy to navigate around the huge park.
There was also a section where you could feed koi fish and ducks. As well as a place to watch an animal show and petting zoo.
There were food and drink options along with gift shops at the main entrance of the park.
Inside of the Buddha consisted of a multi level and highly clean/ detailed museum.

My family and I visit Ushiku Daibutsu, One of the three largest Buddha statues in the world. There is plenty of parking lots available. We walk through shopping stores, buy tickets and walk inside and high up the statue. We really enjoy exhibitions on the first and second levels. We take elevator to the observation floor. We check out surrounding sceneries. They said, on clear weather, we can see as far as Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Skytree, of course not today.

This Buddhist temple is a beautiful and historic insight into Japan's history. It is located in the suburbs of Tokyo, and attracts millions of visitors each year because of its striking beauty.
Visited on Nwe Year day Jan 1st, 2022 around 12:30 PM. It was super crowd and waited around 2 hours to get into the place. I heard this place very busy on new year day. Thoroughly enjoyed the place and worshiped the god. There are lots of local foods to taste around the area.

We landed in the Narita airport and decided to stay close by for the first night. To our delight and totally unplanned we discovered that there was a beautiful temple and park within 18 minutes walking distance of our hotel. We decided to pay a visit in the morning before taking the bus to Tokyo. A walk through the impressive landscaped grounds surrounding the temple was our first exposure to Japan and left an indelible impression. Very symbolic of the splendid beauty to be found throughout this beautiful country.

I wanted to come here for a while and I think it’s worth the day-trip from Tokyo (also if you have the local specialty of eel). Although the temples themselves are big and stunning, I found the park next/inside of the complex even nicer and very wide - didn’t even know that the park existed.

A must visit during a Tokyo stay. Visit the huge grounds of old Narita Temple. See the temple and out buildings and if you are lucky enough, the monks will be in procession.

Loved visiting Shinsho-ji Temple in Naritasan.
Top tip - Come straight here by train from Narita/outside of town (unless you are driving), walk along Naritasan Ometesando (shopping street), then walk up to the first tier of the Temple but ignore the shrines.
First make make your way, up and around to the beautiful park at the back of these shrines, explore around and then arrive back at the main shrine area again. Enjoy!

Large temple complex, with a very nice park. The buildings were grand in scale and crafted in true artistic style. The staff were friendly and very helpful. After visiting the temples, we walked through the woods and pond. It was peaceful and charming. there was a small waterfall completely made the grounds magical and a zen like sounds of the crashing down. The falls filled a creek that flow into the pond. The entire temple grounds began our week long tour of Japan, and met our high expectations. Definitely worth a visit.

The most spectacular and impressive collection of Shrines and Temples I've ever seen in my life. We were so awed by the number and history of the countless structures in this complex we came back again today.
Naritasan Park is situated behind the renowned Naritasan Temple and boasts an extensive traditional landscape complete with various plant varieties, ponds teeming with goldfish, and flowering trees. Its charm can be experienced all year round but reaches its pinnacle during cherry blossom season in March and April, as well as autumn when warm brown, yellow, and orange colors adorn the leaves. The park features a calligraphy museum along with trails skirting tree-lined ponds and a plum garden displaying seasonal blossoms.
Wonderful park, absolutely huge, with plenty to look at. Choose your season, autumn being particularly good. The walk down from the station is also fascinating with all the traditional wares for sale and the many food options.

Came here after a long flight from Narita Airport. The walk from Narita station to the garden is well worth it. There are many unique small stores along the way to keep things interesting, not to mention the best unagi restaurant is along the way. This park is huge and has many sightseeing points within the park. Could spent at least 1-1.5hrs here walking leisurely in the park alone.

This park is incredibly beautiful, huge, and free. I was impressed with the delicacy with which it was designed and the little details in spacial orientation in the landscape architecture. The trees and grounds are well-maintained. There is a beautiful pavilion on the edge of the lake and a bridge. There is what seems to be a small shopping street, but it is closed due to the pandemic. Brooks, stone lanterns, pagoda, and a large waterfall are some attributes. There is a lovely cottage with traditional bamboo fencing. Absolutely lovely.

This is a very large park that has been maintained to take advantage of nature. It will be very difficult to take care of.
It's a soothing space with the sounds of birds chirping, murmuring streams, and trees.
The park is large, so use the restroom at the park entrance.
The promenade is well maintained.
As you pass through the forest of the park, you will see the impressive Peace Hall towering above you!

I went to the monthly donburi kitchen in the food court. The Okinawa Fair is currently being held. I had Soki soba and curry. The Soki soba I ate for the first time in a while had a delicious soup. I personally didn't like the noodles. I wanted a little more curry...

圏央道の阿見東インター降りてすぐの所にあるので、立地条件が良いと思います。
駐車場に屋根付きがある箇所がありました。当日は晴れだったのですが、雨の日の時には買い物が楽みたいですね。(ただその日は倍率が高そう。)
ベビーカーが有料で貸してくれるので、子連れにも最適です。
夕方になると、イルミネーションキラキラ。とても良かったです。
初めて来ましたが、色んなお店がありましたが、こじんまりとしていて歩く歩数が少なくて、疲れにくかったです。
牛久大仏が夕日に輝いてとても良い感じになってました。

I think the location is good because it's right next to the Ami Higashi Interchange on the Ken-O Expressway.
There was a covered parking area. It was sunny that day, but I think shopping would be easier on a rainy day. (However, the magnification seems to be high on that day.)
Strollers can be rented for a fee, making it ideal for families with children.
In the evening, the illuminations are sparkling. It was very good.
It was my first time here, and although there were many shops, it was small and I didn't have to walk many steps, so I didn't get tired easily.
The Ushiku Daibutsu was shining in the setting sun and looked very nice.

Not all brands available but the location is great, which budhas side view. After Gotemba outlet this seems like a nice shopping spot. Parking is relatively bigger too

I travelled from tsukuba to ami premium outlet. It took around 30 minutes. It is a good place for shopping. As of now, there are great discounts. I will advise everyone to go on weekdays to have a fulfilling experience. Moreover, it will be better to become a member of target brands beforehand to avail extra discount.

アウトレットやモールは基本的に混むのが苦手であまり行かないのですが埼玉からのツーリングの目的地として伺ってみました。駐車場内には入れますがフードコートが10時からのオープンです。その他食事の専門店は11時開店が多かったですね。上島珈琲とTully'sコーヒー、ベーグル店が9時半から利用できます。アクセスは圏央道阿見東降り口直結の他、国道125号や408号からは県道34号で案内看板が有りますし有名なのでお分かりかと。こちらで早目の昼食か専門店のコーヒーを飲んで霞ヶ浦や銚子方面に足を伸ばすのもいいと思います。そびえ立つ牛久大仏は迫力あり。(駐車場から望めます)
フードコート内は讃岐うどんにラーメン、丼物、韓国料理、銀だこその他。
駐車場係の方が丁寧に案内してくれますが二輪のスペースはやや狭いです。

I don't usually go to outlets and malls because I don't like being crowded, but I asked about it as a touring destination from Saitama. You can enter the parking lot, but the food court opens at 10:00. Many other specialty restaurants open at 11:00. Ueshima Coffee, Tully's Coffee, and bagel shops are available from 9:30.Access In addition to being directly connected to the Ken-O Expressway Ami-Higashi Exit, there is a signboard from National Route 125 and 408 to Prefectural Route 34, so it is famous. I think it would be a good idea to go to Lake Kasumigaura and Choshi. The towering Ushiku Daibutsu is impressive.
The food court has Sanuki udon, ramen, rice bowls, Korean cuisine, silver octopus, and more.
The parking lot attendant will guide you carefully, but the space for two wheels is a little narrow.

1月下旬の土曜日に訪問。トイレあり。無料駐車場あり。駐輪可能。入場料無料。
非常に広大な駐車場を持つアウトレット。かつて『有吉の壁』のロケ地として使用された経緯あり。
いわゆる普通のアウトレットと思われるが、私自身、アウトレットに魅力を感じないたちである。
施設は全体的にとても綺麗であった。高速道路ICがすぐそばにある。

Visited on a Saturday in late January. There is a toilet. Free parking available. Bicycle parking available. Admission is free.
An outlet with a very large parking lot. There is a history that it was once used as a filming location for ``Ariyoshi no Kabe''.
It may seem like a normal outlet, but I personally don't find outlets appealing.
The facility overall was very clean. The expressway IC is right next to it.

Ami Premium Outlets, a convenient shopping place with different famous brands, is located near Ushiku Daibtsu Tourist spot. It has relatively bigger free parking lot. A place you can visit with your family and enjoy shopping. The area is quite spacious. You will get discount up to 30-50% each shop occasionally. There have also some great deals you can find during shopping. Some kids play ground are also available there.

水曜日と木曜日が指定のピザが半額でしたが、水曜のみに変更になっていました。
マルゲリータとても美味しいです。
石釜焼きのマルゲリータがこのお値段でいただけるなんて
半額が水曜だけになってしまって残念です。
今回はテイクアウトにドリンク150円で利用させて頂きましたが、イートインの時はサラダとドリンクもセットでいただいています。
サラダもフレッシュで彩りもよくドレッシングもとても美味しいです。

The designated pizza was half price on Wednesday and Thursday, but it was changed only on Wednesday.
Margherita is very delicious.
I can't believe I can have a stone oven-baked Margherita at this price!
It's a pity that the half price is only on Wednesdays.
This time, I used it for takeout with a drink for 150 yen, but when eating in, I got a salad and drink as a set.
The salad is fresh and colorful and the dressing is delicious.

Gotemba Outlet, Shisui Outlet
It is a series.
I knew it as soon as I saw the building.
Some restaurants also allow dogs.

I think it's just right, not too wide and not too narrow.
In rare cases, Sylvanian Families
There was a specialty store.
I felt like I wasn't there

a great place to shop 🛍 - for men, women, and kids too. Here you can buy casual, formal, sports clothes. Many known famous brands are there so you have to invest your money💰 wisely. Every time some sales are going on and mainly on a big holiday like Golden Week, Summer Holliday, Black Friday and Christmas to New Year’s week, clothes are cheaper than on other days.
Mainly GAP and Addidas stores always offer very good reasonable prices 👍🤟, you must visit and you can find other stores too.
👍👍
There are restaurants(Indian and others) and coffee shops, so you can spend a day there.☕️ 🍔🌭🍕🍟🥗
There is also a toilet 🚽 and vending machine and you can use the baby feeding room baby 🍼 if you come with your baby. 👶

It’s a beautiful Premium Outlet Mall here in Japan just like the ones you are familiar with in US. But, wait!....it’s almost surreal to see a big Buddha’s silhouette with palm trees on the horizon!

It's like an american outlet very nice but i have to say it's more expensive than the american ones, also for westerns guys like me the clothes size it's a problem so you'd better try it before buying, the L size in Japan is between small and medium size in America.

The bus station Narita Airport Terminal 1 is a very clean and neat place with an experience Japanese culture near the Connection Counter. The only downside is the long international connecting flight security check. Otherwise, it's great. There are many shops still closed because of the pandemic, but overall this airport is still functioning well.
Great airport still a lot of shops are closed due to the pandemic

Narita Airport Terminal 1 isn’t just an ordinary entry point to Japan; it’s an introduction to the country’s renowned hospitality. Here’s my perspective:
As soon as you step off the plane and into this bustling terminal, the efficiency and warmth of the Japanese culture are palpable. The airport staff, dressed in impeccably neat uniforms, greet you with a welcoming bow and a genuine smile. It sets the tone for the kind of service you can expect throughout your stay in Japan.
Navigating the terminal is a breeze. The clear signage, helpful English translations, and courteous airport staff make your journey through customs, baggage claim, and transportation connections remarkably stress-free.
Now, let’s talk about the food options. Terminal 1 doesn’t disappoint when it comes to Japanese cuisine. Whether you’re craving a steaming bowl of ramen, fresh sushi, or a bento box, there are numerous eateries to choose from. The quality of the food is reliably good, and it’s an ideal way to get your first taste of authentic Japanese dishes.
The duty-free shops, offering everything from electronics to traditional souvenirs, are another highlight. And, if you have some time to spare, consider visiting the observation deck for a panoramic view of the airport’s bustling runways.
Narita Airport Terminal 1 manages to strike a harmonious balance between efficiency, comfort, and that unmistakable Japanese charm. It’s not just an airport; it’s an integral part of your journey that leaves a memorable impression of Japan’s exceptional hospitality.

Not mentioned by many, but bus stop 16 offers the free shuttle bus options to the neighbouring hotels. I specifically had to go to ANA crown plaza, so this is a very convenient way to make your way to the airport hotel without the hassle of taking a taxi.

Very clean and neat throughout the terminal. There is an Experience Japanese Culture near the Connection Counter. Each week it offers different Japanese cultural experiences. This week it is an Origami week. If time allows during connection, have fun with Japanese culture.

One of the busiest Airports in the world. Not as beautiful as Singapore or Mumbai Airport T2 but clean nonetheless. Has ample restaurants but less vegetarian or vegan friendly.

Taking the limousine bus was an easy, seamless, and cheap option to Tokyo Station. Highly recommended.
I was a first-time traveler, and the ticket booth was right outside the arrivals gate as were the buses. The cost was about $15 bucks Canadian right to Tokyo Station. No tunnels or dragging luggage all over the airport. To find trains. Very easy to use

Flights departs around 8am but departure gates opens only at 7am. You come and check in early then wander around and come back for a monster queue for departure gate. It can be quite stressful when you see that queue. Hopefully, we were able to get through that in time. Word of caution, once you check in, start lining up.

If you are looking for Japan-made thermal flask, they are available for sale inside transit area at the airport. Brands include zojirushi, tiger and thermos. Lower priced items tend not to be Japan-made. We got a Japan-made 480ml thermos for about 4000 Yen which is really reasonably priced.
Thermal flasks are usually sold near where popular snacks are. Just need to keep a lookout for them as it is a pretty small collection.

On 06/12/23 Noda and her team gave me such amazing help when l was in a dire situation. My ticket had been updated with a 28 hour layover that l couldn’t afford to do and so was then put on another flight however the airline hadn’t confirmed it. On my arrival at the airport my ticket couldn’t be found and it seemed l would not be able to go home. I was so upset and distressed and Noda did everything in her power to fix my situation quickly so that l could still make it onto the flight. There was such little time left but Noda and the others managed to get my ticket sorted in time and l was able to make it home. I pray God blesses every single person who took part in helping me get the matter sorted. Truly l’m grateful to you all, especially Noda. Thank you for your help but especially your kindness towards me, l will never forget you. Noda was on desk F17 for the 19:30 flight to London Gatwick with a layover in Shanghai Pudong.

Do not use the Automatic Currency Exchange Machine when arriving at Terminal 1! It charged me 22 Euro for exchanging my money without any information given. If you fly from Taipei airport, I HIGHLY recommend just exchanging your money there, as the rates are much better/you pay much less for the service.
Horrible experience and disappointed that there is no information on this.
