It is the southernmost tip of the Boso Peninsula. It is one of the farthest spots, but I think it is an easy place to go because there are free parking lots and hotels and restaurants nearby. There is also a promenade, so even people with small children and the elderly can enjoy it.
If you come here, we recommend that you stay at a nearby inn and fully enjoy the atmosphere of the furthest reaches. Fully enjoy the sun setting over the horizon, the tranquility of the sea at night and the sound of waves, and the sea that shines with the rising sun.

冬にカノープスを見たくて訪問しました。
関東の最南端で北以外は全て海ということで、半島の周辺の時点で既に信じられない程たくさんの星が見えていましたが、灯台の真西辺りを過ぎて街明かりの陰になると一気に見える星が増えました。こんなに空に星があったのかと、強く感銘を受けました。
確かに天体写真では無数の星が写ってるのを見たことはありますが、実際に自分の目で見ると感動しますね。
肝心のカノープスは南の水平線上に雲が出ていたので無理かと思いましたが、しばらく見ていた所、カノープスがあるはずの場所に雲越しに星が見えました。20分程見ていたものの動かなかったので、船や飛行機の光の誤認ではなく、間違いなくカノープスだったと思います。
また、野島埼灯台の閃光が水平線の向こうまで飛んでいくのも良く見えました。灯台の光達距離より水平線の方がずっと近いので当たり前のことではあるのですが、これも実際に目の当たりにしたのは初めてだったので、これも強く感銘を受けました。
本当に良い体験ができました。また冬に機会があれば見に来たいです。
(天体撮影向きのカメラを持っていないので、添付写真は星とは関係ないものとなります。)

I visited to see Canopus in winter.
It's the southernmost point of Kanto, and all but the north is the sea, so I could see an incredible number of stars when I was around the peninsula, but when I passed the due west of the lighthouse and it became a shadow of the city lights, all at once. More stars are visible. I was deeply impressed that there were so many stars in the sky.
It is true that I have seen countless stars in astrophotography, but seeing them with my own eyes is impressive.
I thought it would be impossible to see Canopus because there were clouds on the southern horizon, but after watching it for a while, I could see a star through the clouds where Canopus should be. I watched it for about 20 minutes, but it did not move, so I think it was definitely Canopus, not a misidentification of the light of a ship or an airplane.
Also, I could see the flash of Nojimasaki lighthouse flying over the horizon. It is natural that the horizon is much closer than the light reach of the lighthouse, but this was also the first time I had actually seen it, so I was also very impressed.
I had a really good experience. In addition, I want to come to see if there is an opportunity in winter.
(I don't have a camera suitable for astrophotography, so the attached photo has nothing to do with the stars.)

If you walk around the walking path, you can enjoy the ocean, rocky areas, and greenery as you walk through the trees that make you think of a tropical jungle. The southernmost bench installed on the rock is popular☆

(Translated by Google) Stayed near Nojimazaki. At night, the lighthouse is illuminated in white and looks beautiful. Stroll around on a morning walk. After passing the plaza, you will see the stairs and torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine (Nojima Benzaiten). There are some very impressive things enshrined there. (lol) After visiting the shrine and proceeding to the back, you will see the white Nojimazaki Lighthouse. There is a fee, but you can climb it. If you go out to the seaside, there are rocky areas around you, making for a nice walk.
There is a free parking lot near the entrance, and there are restaurants and souvenir shops open from the morning, so you can enjoy it.

Located on a grassy peninsula, the Nojimasaki Lighthouse is one of the oldest western-style lighthouses in Japan. Originally built in the 19th century, it was reconstructed after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1925. Visitors can enjoy a small museum and observation platform with stunning views at sunset. The lighthouse also features several rustic seafood spots, a cafe, and an art gallery.
A beautiful must see location if your visiting Chiba prefecture.

The Katsuura Morning Market is a vibrant street market that opens early in the morning, offering visitors a wide variety of fresh seafood, vegetables and fruits. In addition to the food items on offer, there are local craftsmen showcasing their skills by growing roses in rocks with moss. The market is particularly popular for its incredibly fresh fish and seafood, which sell out quickly before 6:30am. Visitors can also find high-quality rice sold by small-scale growers who cultivate it themselves.
Lively at morning market Katsuura on the Cultural's Day. This is historical market place has been more than 300yrs..
Y. Kasumi — Google review
They sell not only fish or marine products, but also sweets, flowers, and vegetables. The number of the shops seems to depend on the day of market. The staff is friendly and you can enjoy the vibe of local markets.
Yuko — Google review
Open from about 6:00-11:00, but depending on the weather conditions the number of vendors might change. It's a small market, so you will find the standard things such as fruits and vegetables, mochi, tamagoyaki, shaved ice, coffee, tsukemono and grilled fish: not much but each and every one very delicious. About twice a month they have the so-called "Marché" where there's extra stands doing art, and selling chiffon cake for instance.
If you try and chat with the locals you'll definitely be greeted with a warm, honest smile that will definitely make your day 😉
The morning market was one of the things that made my stay in Katsuura so memorable. At first glance people seemed to be wary of me, but once I got to talk to them they opened up completely in the blink of an eye! This is THE place to encounter and chat with the locals, and before we knew it we'd already been offered free coffee, horse mackerel and kinako jelly xD I literally went here little every day of my stay in Katsuura, and Spaice Coffee became a must-buy for the early mornings.☕ I definitely recommend coming early for the full experience of local life here. I bought a big bag of pears with spots on them for only 300 yen, and they were de-li-cious! I'd also recommend trying the grilled fish for only 100 yen, and of course the coffee which is definitely Instagram-worthy ;) Along the street where the market or held there are also the standard shops, so I recommend popping in there too for a chat and some kakikoori or tea ^^

Great place to visit if you're looking for fun of sightseeing, observing remarkable local craftsmen growing roses in a rocks with moss and alike.
For fresh fish and seafood you better come up earlier, literally, before 6:30am, things do run away fast.
Veggies and fruits always freshest and taste like real thing if one would compare with supermarket ones.
Rice connoisseurs could enjoy real koshi hikari people grew for themselves by themselves and now are selling some excess of it.
For late comers there will be always a great food available till lunch time for sure made of fresh seafood and served in authentic, not posh but a cozy atmosphere.

Kamogawa Sea World, situated in Chiba prefecture, is a renowned marine theme park that serves as a comprehensive marine leisure center. It offers an aquarium and stadiums for captivating shows featuring whales, dolphins, and sea lions. This popular tourist attraction provides educational opportunities to learn about marine life while also delivering entertaining performances by dolphins and orcas.

The best aquarium I've been to, and I've been to the big one in Okinawa!
Here are my top 3 choices.
1) Kamogawa Sea World
2) Oita
3) Okinawa
Orca show a must, but be prepared to get very wet if you sit in the front (and to some extent the back too)!

Worth the price!
Though parking entrance is quite expensive xD rather take a bus going there T_T
Schedules of the animal shows were quite planned out well. It gives you the chance to watch all of them.
During the “splash” part though of some animal shows, you gotta pay on-sight for the rain coats. Wherever you post yourself at at the show, you’ll still surely get wet so rather leave before getting splashed at (that is if, you mind getting wet).
I have observed some watchers wearing a different brand rain coat so I think it’s quite okay if you’d bring your own instead

Definitely one of the best SeaWorld I have visited so far. And really worth the money! All the shows, were performed by really professional trainers.

We went for a family trip this year and absolutely love our experience. Spectacular and amazing.
As an adult, I spent one of the best time of my life. A lot of adrenaline, I love it.
Killer whales show was the coolest part for us. It was about an hour wait. The show provided lots of fun and entertainment.
Be warned, you do get soaked there, but all worth the experience. Bring your own towel. Or be prepared to pay at least 300yen for a poncho at the parks. You’ll thank me later.
You have to plan your show times to avoid walking around the park numerous times.
The aquarium was very enjoyable. The exhibits were fun and shows were and awesome. It will be something to remember for a lifetime. It’s a must see if you’re ever in Kamogawa.

Don’t go to this place.please think twice before supporting animal exploitation.
More than 40 orcas have died at SeaWorld parks, and the death toll continues to climb. Here’s just one story:
An orca named Kasatka was imprisoned in a SeaWorld tank for nearly 40 years. Men abducted her from her ocean home when she was only a year old. She died in August 2017, after reportedly having suffered from a bacterial lung infection since at least 2008. Lesions covered her ailing body before her death. In addition, her mate, Kotar, was killed after a pool gate closed on his head, fracturing his skull. Stop supporting animal cruelty, stop supporting SeaWorld.

Wonderful experience, beautiful beach view in the background. A lot of hard work by trainers and staff, well organized shows. Do expect to get wet during the orca performances or you could purchase a poncho. The pools are a bit small for orcas and dolphins & sea lions and also they can be fed a little more. Nice and neat place. Overall great experience, highly recommended for all ages.

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.

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.
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.

The Mother Farm Tour DX provides a tractor train ride through the meadowlands with stunning views of Tokyo Bay.

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.

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.

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)

Great place for my kid!
A lot of fun activities:
Animal feeding
Animal show
Small theme park
Photography spots
The Bar B Q meat at the food court is superb. It's a bit far from Tokyo city centre, around 2 hours drive, but it's worth a visit.

An Excellent farm that has a lot of lovely animals and visitors could have the chance to feed them. Nice interaction with them and there were different animal shows.
That pig racing was so much fun and Im sure the kids were enjoying it. Some of them could even have the chance to join in the race 🤣

Very fun for my husband and I but it’s so hard to get here from the public transit. A cool part that’s not mentioned too much is you can pet all of the animals

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.

Great for the kids to have a nose around. Pig racing is good. The events such as illuminations at the back end of Winter and fireworks in Summer are always worth a trip to the farm. BBQ area and other things to do
Jason Ellis — Google review
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.
Juan Tomas Rodriguez — Google review
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.
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.

Good attraction for kids. Morning session is preferred most of the attractions are completed before 3pm.
A special reservation is required for taking pics with elephants which are limited to 5 per day. So if you are planning to take pics close with elephants better pre book it.
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.

Very huge park with very few attractions and not very much german-ness (as a german person I can judge that, trust me). If you want to have fun with your kids it might be better suited because they have lots of kids activities, but don’t go there with expectaions to experience german culture 😄

It's not located in Tokyo, but Chiba. The illustration during the winter season is awesome! It's worth visiting. The admission charge is 500yen/per walk or 3500 yen/per car, so it is beneficial if many people can ride a car.

Much to do during the day as well. Ideally one should go there 1-2 hours before the sunset and enjoy the beauty of this very well kept place. A lot of stuff for kids to do, and equally enjoyable for elders. Sunset view is amazing from here, and you can be lucky to see a glimpse of Mount Fuji from there too. 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.

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.

Clean and very spacious. Loads of high and middle branded shops. Loved the local branded shops most. We found that prices were a bit more than the UK even when product was on sale. Overall best place was the food court where food was great and varied. However, didn't realize there were more food shops outside with the shops so missed out a bit.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 🦑

The Makuhari Messe Event Hall is a large exhibition hall used for a variety of events. It is located in Mihama, close to the Makuhari Messe complex. The venue is well designed and has a number of interesting shops and restaurants nearby.
2024/03/16-17 Hololive 5th fes. & superEXPO
Tips for future fellow fans:
1. If you attend the night Live and plan to stay in a Tokyo hotel, you’ll likely return to Tokyo at like 22:30-23:00, so make sure the hotel has 24hr front-desk or auto-check in.
2. If you attend both Live at the same day, it will be difficult to have a proper dinner. Even the local combini store is jam-packed! I will buy bento and leave it in a cooler if there is a next time.
Overall, this was one of the best trip in my life! Thank you Hololive!

Have been there twice in the past January for Tokyo Autosalon Customized car annual events. Car enthusiasts from all over the world come to Japan in order to see who JDM culture is developed and doing last days. Unfortunately the event is being cancelled this year due to COVID, but we hope it will be performing again in the future!
The place where you can see JDM cars customized on a very unique way.
Very recommended for the car lovers.

I recently attended an event at the Makuhari Messe convention center, and I was impressed by its modern facilities and versatile spaces. The convention center is located in Chiba, just outside of Tokyo, and is easily accessible by train or car.
The convention center spans over several halls, and each hall is well-equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and exhibition booths. The halls are spacious, allowing for a comfortable and enjoyable experience for attendees.
The center also has a fantastic range of restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores, making it easy to find food and refreshments during events. I particularly enjoyed the convenience stores, which offered a wide variety of Japanese snacks and drinks.
One of the standout features of the Makuhari Messe was its beautiful outdoor spaces, which are perfect for events such as outdoor concerts or festivals. The gardens and walkways around the convention center were well-maintained and offered a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the event halls.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience at the Makuhari Messe and would highly recommend it to anyone attending events in Tokyo or Chiba. Its modern facilities, versatile spaces, and beautiful outdoor areas make it an excellent choice for any event.

Makuhari Messe is a large scale convention center in Chiba, very close to Tokyo.
The nearest station is Kaihim Makuhari while the other two close stations are Makuhari and Makuharihongo ( you can take the local bus)
Makuhari Messe hosts several seminars, trade shows, events and so on.
Some of the Tokyo2020 Olympic events are also happening there.
This center designed by famous Japanese architect, Fumihiko Maki who received Pritzker Prize in 1993.

Very large event hall. It's around 1.5-2 hours from Shinjuku, and costs ~¥1100 to get there depending on the train lines taken.
Quite a few events are held here. Some notable ones are: Hololive Expo, Tokyo Game Show, and Niconico Chokaigi.
There's two large halls (#1-8) with an outdoor hallway connecting them. There is another building (halls #9-11) that are separate, connected by a bridge.
There are many coin lockers around the building. A restaurant is situated inside, but it is priced higher than usual. Washrooms are plenty by exits. The entrance is usually at the back of the hall, as it reserves the front entrance as the exit for the end of the day, allowing people to walk to the station easier after a long day of constant walking.
There's usually enough English support from a few people working, who can help with directing where to go.

Came here for the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023.... Parking situation was the worst event parking I've ever experienced. Ruined the whole day for us. 2 hour wait only to hear parking is closed. Do yourself a favor and park at an Aeon if it's a big event. Often there is no charge and no one checks.
The location itself is ok, large halls but only one main food court.

The place was our end-of-trip highlight in early July, 2015. After we had checked in our baggage at the Narita Airport, we took the Outlet shuttle there. My daughters bought to their hearts' content and I got a branded jacket at a discount price before rushing back to the Airport to take our departing flight!

Bigger than I expected not sure if this is the biggest outlet in Tokyo but it definitely is one could spend the whole day here just window shopping but gets boring after a while I guess😇
Daniel Dizzy — Google review
It's a cookie-cutter outlet mall and It's actually pretty amazing just how 'meh' it is. You'll recognize the popular western shops and I think the big boy brands like Nike, Adidas and Gap use lower-priced inventory specifically designed for places like this. Go into Nike and tell me they don't use less expensive materials for their kicks. Not really outlet prices either. The food is boring, because it's the same places you see everywhere....is this Aeon? The restaurants and food court are way too small for a place this size too. You can take your dog, so...there are dogs there peeing on all of the pillars. I saw a large group of people pushing cats in strollers once...I think I'm going to buy a goose and take it...

The parking is not convenient during bad weather since there is no indoor parking. There’s limited shade. No ride drop off zone so this place is not convenient for the disabled.
Socio Tourism — Google review
Lots of Outlets in Tokyo. But there is difference between outlet and premium outlet. Definitely premium outlet is a better choice. More brands for selection.
Shisui was the closest to Narita Airport. Many visitors taking direct bus from airport. We take from Terminal 1, South gate. First floor. F3. Bus stop 30.
In fact, Bus schedule ride from T1 to T2 then reach outlet, and the other way round too.
7 schedule ride to and back from airport to outlet, as early as 952am and latest 1638pm. Bus ride only charge 500 yen one way. Ideally prepare exact amount for ride, not all driver willing to change big to small note.
Shisui Premium Outlets have lots of brands probably 250 to 300 brands. But not all brands provide attractive discount and large product range. Probably half of them are worth visiting.
There is a food court in the centre of the outlet. Limited food stall and selection but very spacious and lots of seats during morning hour. Do go early before lunch hours to avoid lunch crowd.
Overall, Shisui Premium Outlet was a nice and worthy visit outlet.

A lot of comments here are not helpful.
1. To get into this place (from Narita Airport), take a bus from Narita Airport Terminal 2 1F (North Exit) at park 28B and Terminal 1 1F (South Exit) at park 30
2. Departure is every hour, payment at the bus for 500 yen (one-way). Suica card accepted. Please check indicated schedules.
3. Going back to airport there is a designated area. Check Nariport airport sign together with the schedule of departure.
4. As to the shops, there is a lot and 1 day is not enough. Don't complain for some stuff that are not available as some outlet stores are only limited to carry or sell a selected model or sku. You will not be hungry here too.
Today I can say that the place is crowded.
Enjoy tax-free shopping.

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.

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.
Kylie Jang — Google review
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!
Sukmin Nam — Google review
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.
Myla Fernandez — Google review
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.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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!
The Sanrizuka Sakura no Oka, located close to Narita International Airport, is a popular spot for people to enjoy a lazy day out and take in the view of planes taking off and landing. The simple garden is filled with grass, walkways, cherry blossom trees and azalea bushes, making it one of the most popular parks in the area. weekends can see the park crowded with families coming to see planes and cherry blossoms.
This is the place you can see the plane departing and landing

Again, great place to see planes. Lots of --mostly middle aged men--with large cameras. Families with small children and dogs should be careful because some of them don't like noise. But some are very friendly and they know alot about planes!

Best place to watch and take pictures of planes if you are into that, lots of people taking picnics as well during Sakura Season
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)

Tokyo Disneyland exceeded all expectations! The attractions were a blast, delivering thrills and excitement. The shows were enchanting, adding a magical touch to our visit. The diverse array of delicious foods satisfied every craving. Impeccable organization and friendly staff made our experience truly unforgettable. A five-star destination for all ages!

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.

This is such an amazing amusement park! It's a beautiful place, delicious food, friendly staff, etc. It's a great place for all ages. The park itself looks beautiful and there are so many things to do and this park is also very clean and efficient. Some days there are too many people, causing delays in playing the rides but every ride is really fun from children's rides to thrilling rides.

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. Of all of them, this place was one of my favourite amusement parks.

Amazing place that is worth the long flight from wherever in the world you've come from.
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.
The place will well exceed your expectations and is literally the happiest place on earth. Enjoy.
David Williams — Google review
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.
Max Callen — Google review
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.
LoadedRidley — Google review
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.

Went during the 2023 40th anniversary event. The experience was as magical as ever! Thanks to some rain and rides shutdown/resuming operations we were able to get on all the major rides! The staff were as enthusiastic and attentive as ever and the new app worked pretty well, albeit slightly slow.

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!

Amazing Day at Tokyo Disneyland... I love every moment at here. So nice made me turn to kids again by Disney world.
I like beauty and the beast so much. If u don't want to wait the long queue, u can buy fast pass.
Don't forget to try ice-cream at here. The parade is the best.
There are so much souvenirs and so cute.
Lelee Huang — Google review
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!
Kathryn S. — Google review
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.
designerdas — Google review
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.
Tata — Google review
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.
Ginza is a luxurious shopping district in Tokyo, known for its upscale boutiques, high-end cocktail bars, and sushi restaurants. The area features the 1930s Wako Honkan department store offering fine jewelry and the ultramodern Ginza Place specializing in high-tech electronics. On weekends, Chuo Dori transforms into a stylish pedestrian promenade. The iconic Kabuki-za theater hosts traditional Japanese dance and drama performances.
Meiji Jingu is a revered Shinto shrine nestled in a lush forest, offering a serene escape from the bustling city. The annual spring festival during Golden Week pays homage to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken with traditional performances like Bugaku, Noh, Kyogen, and Kyudo tournaments. 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.

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.

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!
Sheryl — Google review
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
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。

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!

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!

Expansive park with areas of many different feels to enjoy. Great for families, couples, and solos. It's often crowded (especially the Starbucks inside, so bring in your own from the one just outside the park #lifehack). I liked the recent special chrysanthemum exhibit.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.
Anthony Michalski — Google review
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.
Brodie Wilson — Google review
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome place to go see. A must go destination in Tokyo. It does get very busy so I recommend taking the train but there is parking available nearby too. So many cool thing to see here and do. A great day trip location. So many shops and restaurants and neat things to take pictures of.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Brodie lee (GMrF) — Google review
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.

It’s even more amazing at night. A definite must see for any traveler/tourist when visiting Tokyo. So many cool shops around the temple as well. Great place for photo opportunities and enjoying the whole Japanese experience.

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.
Ricardo Santos — Google review
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.

This place was bigger than I expected. We visited here on a National Holiday. It was crowded but we managed to move around easily. You can visit this place in 30 minutes or longer depending on the time you have. We spent about an hour here and I felt it was plenty of time. It's worth the visit, and there is no entry fee.
Judy McConnell — Google review
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.
My Lam — Google review
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.
Cesar Alejandro Arias Canto — Google review
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.
Christopher Harris — Google review
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.
Shirin Montebare — Google review
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.
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.
Selvi SF — Google review
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.

Easy to go by JR train and bus. This is good place for kids and pets as well. I also found there is a local basketball competition and school festival in the middle of park. Beautiful place!

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.

Nice little park. There’s a temple nearby and food vendors. I tried the cucumber from one of the vendors and that was no good. Flowers are about to be in full bloom. As of April 2 most of the trees have started to bloom.

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.
steve lord — Google review
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.
Lake Teganuma is a charming spot in Japan's Chiba Prefecture, offering various outdoor activities such as birdwatching, jogging, and cycling. The area boasts a fish center where visitors can try their hand at catching rainbow trout. The lake is also known for its scenic views and has become cleaner over the years, making it a pleasant place to relax. Additionally, the Teganuma Fireworks Festival in the summer adds to the appeal of this picturesque location.
Lot of nature, very big, with good hot spring in the neighborhood.

(Translated by Google) I went cycling on weekdays.
I think that the day I went was just about a week before the rape blossoms bloomed and the cherry blossoms bloomed, but since it was a weekday, there were no people at all and I could go around with plenty of space.
I think the cherry blossom season is also very beautiful.
Even though I don't usually ride a bicycle at all, I was able to exercise comfortably because it was almost flat even after one lap with a cross bike rental.
There are parks with a good view, roadside stations, hot springs, cafes, fishing ponds, etc. on the way, so you can enjoy the day without getting tired while stopping by.
I think I was actually rowing for about 1.5 hours.
There is not much shade and there are not many vending machines on the way, so please bring a drink with you on hot days.

You can enjoy spectacular views in this area.
Also, thanks to this swamp, there are many loopholes around the area, which are useful for traveling by car.
There is also a Teganuma Fireworks Festival in the summer, which is another great feature.
There are parks, walking trails, and cycling roads, making it a great place to spend your holidays or walk your dog.

(Translated by Google) I went there by cycling.
The pedestrian and bicycle roads are well-paved and separated by white lines, making it very easy to ride.
There are often places on cycling roads where you can't cycle because there are so many pedestrians and marathon runners, but Teganuma is divided into sections, so this rarely happens.
You can cycle with peace of mind.

Michinoeki Shonan Road Station
Rest stop
Visitor Centers
Road Station Shonan is a convenient rest stop that offers various amenities such as a farm stand and dining options, along with bike rentals and access to a nearby lakeside cycling route. Additionally, this establishment provides the added benefit of hot springs for relaxation after a long day of travel. Furthermore, guests can purchase fresh vegetables from the farm stand and indulge in unique treats like tomato flavored soft cream, which is not only innovative but also scrumptious.
Amazing place with varieties of delicious and fresh vegetables found at one place. They also have cafeteria and some restaurant that you can enjoy nice food and some fresh peanut snacks.

ツーリング途中にサラダバー&ランチ目的で訪れました。よくあるチェーン店のサラダバーとは違う新鮮な野菜たちの食べ放題で大満足でした。また、野菜類の他沢山の食材が販売されていましたが、本とコラボしてたりオシャレな雰囲気でした。レストランが他にもあり、唐揚げも美味そうでしたので他メニューを頂きに再来訪決定の場所となりました。

I came here for the salad bar and lunch while touring. I was very satisfied with the all-you-can-eat menu of fresh vegetables, which was different from the salad bar at a typical chain restaurant. In addition to vegetables, there were many other ingredients on sale, all of which were made in collaboration with books and had a stylish atmosphere. There are other restaurants, and the fried chicken looked delicious, so I decided to come back to try other menu items.
You can go to the Teganuma tour route from the square, but there is a friendly cat in the boathouse just beyond.

🔳12月17日(日)13時半過ぎ着。
野菜が大好きで最近、道の駅巡りにはまりつつあります。
が、ツーリングだったので、今日はランチ目的で訪問。
🔳野菜レストランSHONAN
先ず、ランチのサラダバーに大好きなケール、ワサビ菜、ルッコラ、春菊、紫白菜など、野菜にこだわったお店にしかないものが、あって、テンションが上がりまくりでした。
メインディッシュは和風ハンバーガー!
厚切り大根煮の上に、ジューシーなハンバーグ。
おろしとしそでサッパリ頂けました。
🔳その後、物販をサラッとみて、バイクなので、菊芋のみ購入。

🔳 Arrived after 1:30pm on Sunday, December 17th.
I love vegetables and have recently become addicted to visiting roadside stations.
However, since I was touring, I visited for lunch today.
🔳Vegetable restaurant SHONAN
First of all, the salad bar for lunch had my favorite ingredients such as kale, wasabi greens, arugula, garland chrysanthemums, and purple Chinese cabbage, which can only be found at a restaurant that focuses on vegetables, and I was so excited.
The main dish is a Japanese-style hamburger!
A juicy hamburger steak on top of thickly sliced radish.
It was refreshing with grated and soy sauce.
🔳After that, I took a quick look at the product store, and since it was a motorcycle, I only bought Jerusalem artichokes.
It's a very spacious, designer-style building with an atrium, and the cafe was nice while relaxing and looking outside.
🔳The wind was cold, but we took a walk around Teganuma
I really wanted to come by car next time and buy Shikotama vegetables before heading home!

手賀沼のすぐ側の道の駅。
2023関東道の駅STAMP BOOKでのオススメはかぶのソフトクリームだそう。
かなり広い道の駅で、駐車場も広大でした。
STAMP BOOKによると普通車は357マス。
どういう数え方したの?と思うような道の駅も多いですが、ここは本当にそれだけの数が普通に止められそうな印象です。
知産知消マルシェと言う直売所も良いのですが、店舗前の「道の駅 しょうなんてんと」が結構目を引きました。
常設ではないので道の駅の評価に含めるのはダメなのでしょうが、The eggmanと言う移動販売のだし巻き玉子のお店が最高でした。
自分が玉子焼きが好きなのもあるのでしょうが、かなり美味しく頂いています。
The eggmanと出会わせてくれた場所でもあるので、最高に印象が良い道の駅でした。

A roadside station right next to Teganuma.
The recommendation at the 2023 Kanto Roadside Station STAMP BOOK is the turnip soft serve ice cream.
It was a fairly large roadside station, and the parking lot was huge.
According to STAMP BOOK, a regular car has 357 squares.
How did you count it? There are many roadside stations where you would think that way, but here it seems like you can actually stop at that many stations.
The direct sales store called Chisan Chiju Marche is also good, but the roadside station Shounanto in front of the store really caught my eye.
Since it's not a permanent establishment, it probably shouldn't be included in the roadside station evaluation, but The Eggman, a mobile dashimaki egg shop, was the best.
Maybe it's because I like tamagoyaki, but I found it quite delicious.
It was also the place where I met The Eggman, so it was a roadside station that left a great impression on me.
